Idiotic Overtime Ü

Today, October 20, 2007, something really weird happened to me and my colleague at work. I guess you know me already so itago na lang nating siya sa pangalang "idiot 2".

Anyway, we planned this overtime work in Podium last Monday. We were kinda excited. This is the first time that she would go on a weekend overtime in her SBCards stint.

Gayumpaman, kahapon, may isang pangyayaring hindi namin inaasahan. May mga asshole na nag-detonate ng bomba sa Glorietta 2. Last night practically all my bosses either called me up or texted me to discourage me to push through with the overtime for safety reasons. I told them that I would prefer to push through with my work. Sayang ang allowance and overtime pay. But I consulted my mom and she said na tama 'wag na kami tumuloy dahil baka delikado pa.

Anyway, I texted idiot 2 saying that I did not want to go na lang because everyone was against it. She called me up and said na sayang naman. She wants the job finished already so we agreed to meet up at 11 am.

At around midnight last night she texted me saying that medyo takot na rin sya after watching the news but I pleaded for us to go ahead. Find below the text messages:

From idiot 2:
Hi dave. Im really confused. Dnt knw if i want to go or nt. Pwede txt txt nalang muna tayo 2mrw around 10 if tuloy tayo or hndi.

Idiot 1's reply:
Sige na tuloy na tayo pls.. Ikaw na rin naman ang nagsabi na gusto mo.

Idiot 2:
U thnk its safe lang? Parang natakot narin ako dahil sa news. But i really want to push thru. Para tapos na..

But we still decided to go..

Come present day, I texted her at around 10am, saying na tinatamad na ko. She told me that I could not back out since she is dressed up already. Nagdadabog akong nag-ayos ng gamit ko at sarili tapos umalis na ko.

We met up at Megamall and I said,"T___, nakalimutan ko yung ID ko."
"Eh di susunod ka lang sa kin. Alalay kita," she replied. (She rummages her bag for her ID)
"Oh no! Where is my ID? Hindi ko naman ginalaw itong bag ko yesterday,"she exclaims.

Hinanap nya yung ID sa bag nya for so many times but she failed to find it. Nakakainis kasi we decided na hindi na rin kami ipapa-check ng mga merchants ng POS nila because our ID's were not in our possession.

We just ate lunch and sinamahan ko na lang sya sa Megamall to do some shopping. Unfortunately for her and more especially me, wala ring nabili.

Sayang talaga. Ang 700 pesos sana na kikitain namin ngayon, naging negative pa dahil sa gastos.

Bwisit. I just hope that Ligo Sardines can make my day today. :( (refer to earlier blog post).
