CoNGRaTuLaTioNs to me!

Me & my DiVinG Instructor Joel

Thanks, JoeL ...for the patience sa pasaway mong estudyante na palaging absent o nagpapare-sched, late kung pumapasok man, ayaw mag-mask clearing, nagpapa-tow kahit d pagod, naglinis ng regulator na d pa naka-tighten ang cap ng 1st stage (oi, once lang un ha!) at d pa nagsagot ng 'knowledge review' pero nagmamadali magkaron ng PADI diver's certificate. (buti pala cinertify nya ko noh?! hehe) San pa ko makakahanap ng instructor na ganyan?! =) (nambola pa e may certificate na nga! ahaha!)

Ate LoVes, Kuya LoVes & XanDrY ...weeeh! 'this the end of the beginner's first step & the start of new adventures.

So...

If someone is taking you for granted, why bother sticking with him.

SuPeRMaN Returns

Oh, yes! He's back. =)

MaaRTe daw ako!

Okay, I agree. Pero this is really me and this is how I am.



If circumstances would have your path cross with mine then you have to deal with it. And if by hard luck you were stuck with me then you have to live with it. (i'd also try to deal and live with your kaartehan naman. All of us has it. We just have this iba-ibang definition) But if by choice you have stayed with me then I would presume that you have learned to accept (and eventually love) my kaartehan.



Yah, I am Maarte. Pero hindi naman sa lahat ng bagay. And i hope you'll know that there are things in me far better than my being maarte.

NiCe VoiCe, MiSTeR!?!

A number of people told me that I have "nice" voice daw. But wait til they hear me sing. Babawiin nila ung cnabi nila! haha! ...They are simply referring to my voice when having a casual conversation especially over phone. Hhhhmmm, maybe may effect and distance o ang receiver kaya maganda pakinggan ang boses ko?

I have these experiences which I would like to share...


SToRy 1:

There's one Pinoy guy here at work who I call once in a while para sa pakikipag-coordinate ng pagbili ng materials nya. I already had an idea how he looks like kase I asked my office friend Eugene to describe him. Kaya naman nung napadaan sya sa Procurement sa Rig building alam ko na sya un. Ako, he recognized me because of the name plate on my desk. And his comment... "Uy, Gen! Ang ganda ng boses mo."

He could have remarked on how I look like in person but it was my voice that he remembers. (Mas remarkable daw kase ung voice?!)

SToRy 2:

- After negotiation -
Gen: Okay, Mr. Bunty. Thanks!
Bunty: Ah, Gen, are you eating too much honey?
Gen: - confused - Huh?! y?
Bunty: Because you're voice is so sweet. It can change anyone's mood.

AYOS naman! Actuali, it seemed like he was in a bad mood nung pagtawag ko sa kanya. It was good that I was able to uplift his mood. Several days later tinawagan ko sya for some follow up. Seems like bad trip ulit sya at d ko na nabago mood nya. Inis na yata sa pag-follow up ko ng quote... Oh, well my "sweet voice" doesn't work sometimes.


SToRy 3:

I was asking a vendor named Tony for some discounts when I just have to stop kase parang he's giggling. Sa isip ko, "Ano'ng nakakatawa sa sinasabi ko?". Then he said, "Gen, ur voice is so sweet."

Hhhmmm, magkamag-anak kaya ito'ng c Tony at c Bunty?! hehe. =)

Pero kahit ganyan ang sinasabi ng mga nakakausap ko over phone, pag nakaka-receive naman ako ng quotations "Mr." pa rin ang nakalagay before ng pangalan ko.
