Ngayon isinilang ang aking bagong blog, late na ako nakatulog last night pero maaga akong nagising. Nang maupo ako sa harap ng laptop. Naisipan kung gumawa ng 2nd blog habang dahan-dahan kung iniinom ang mainit na 3 in one coffee sa tabi ko. Ang hirap pa namang pumili ng title, most of the time, taken na yong mga gusto mung pangalan. Naisip ko ganoon na ba karami ang nagba-blog ngayon? So na chambahan ko na wala pang gumamit ng "Talentadong Pinoy" - bongga ang title di ba. So happy birthday sa aking bagong blog.
Ngayon ang problema ko, ano naman ang ilalagay ko sa site na ito. Hindi naman talaga ako mahilig mag sulat ng mga kwentong barbero. Sa pamilya, yong kuya ko at ang anak nyang si Bedict ang mahilig mag sulat. Kaya kahit medyo matagal na ko naka upo sa kompyuter feel ko ang hirap mag embento ng mga salita. Siguro naman sa dami ng mga files ko pwede kung i-share muna d2.
Pero for sure, puro wholesome ang ilalagay ko, unlike sa una kung blog na parang limited lang ang pwedeng makabasa. Kadalasan para lang yong sa mata ng tinatawag kung circle of friends.
D2 sa talentadong pinoy, pwede akong maglagay about friends, family, enemy (so far wala akong maisip na enemy), life at fuji xerox, College days at kung ano-ano pang nangyayari sa kapaligiran at sa mabagal na pag-usad ng ating pamumuhay.
We started planning our 2009 Red & white christmas party kaya naalala ko ang isang kwento ng isang HRD regarding christmas memo, to make us all smile today. Please read the very funny story below:
The Christmas Party Memo Political Correctness comes through
FROM: Pauline Lewis, Human Resources Director
TO: All Employees
DATE: 4 November 2007
RE: Christmas Party
I'm happy to inform you that the
company Christmas Party will take place on December 23rd, starting at noon in the private function room at the Grill House. There will be a cash bar and plenty of drinks!
We'll have a small band playing traditional carols. Please feel free to sing along. And don't be surprised if the CEO shows up dressed as Santa Claus! A Christmas tree will be lit at 1:00 PM.
Exchange of gifts among employees can be done at that time. However, no gift should be over $10.00 to make the giving of gifts easy for everyone's pocketbook.
This gathering is only for employees! The CEO will make a special announcement at the party.
Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Pauline

RE: Holiday Party
JEWISH CONCERNIn no way was yesterday's memo intended to exclude our Jewish employees. We recognize that Chanukah is an important holiday, which often coincides with Christmas, although unfortunately not this year. However, from now on we're calling it our "Holiday Party."
The same policy applies to any other employees who are not Christians. There will be no Christmas tree or Christmas carols sung. We will have other types of music for your enjoyment. Happy now?
Happy Holidays to you and your family,
Pauline

RE: Holiday Party
Re:NON-ALCOHOLIC CONCERNRegarding the note I received from a member of Alcoholics Anonymous requesting a non-drinking table, you didn't sign your name. I'm happy to accommodate this request, but if I put a sign on a table that reads, "AA Only," you wouldn't be anonymous anymore!
How am I supposed to handle this? Somebody?
Re: UNION CONCERNForget about the gift exchange, no gift exchange allowed now since the union officials feel that $10.00 is too much money and management believes $10.00 is a little cheap. NO GIFT EXCHANGE WILL BE ALLOWED.

RE: Holiday Party
Re: MUSLIM CONCERNWhat a diverse group we are! I had no idea that December 20th begins the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which forbids eating and drinking during daylight hours. There goes the party! Seriously, we can appreciate how a luncheon at this time of year does not accommodate our Muslim employees' beliefs.
Perhaps the Grill House can hold off on serving your meal until the end of the party - or else package everything up for you to take home in a little foil doggy bag. Will that work?
Re: WEIGHT WATCHERSMeanwhile, I've arranged for members of Weight Watchers to sit farthest from the dessert buffet and pregnant women will get the table closest to the toilets.
Re: GAY & LESBIAN CONCERNGays are allowed to sit with each other. Lesbians do not have to sit with gay men, each will have their own table. Yes, there will be flower arrangements for the gay men's table too.
To the person asking permission to cross dress -
no cross dressing allowed.
Re: OTHER CONCERNWe will have booster seats for short people. Low fat food will be available for those on a diet. We cannot control the salt used in the food. We suggest those people with high blood pressure taste the food first. There will be fresh fruits as dessert for diabetics. The restaurant cannot supply "no sugar" desserts.
Sorry! Did I miss anything?

RE: The F****** Holiday Party
VEGETARIAN jerks: I've had it with you people! We're going to keep this party at the Grill House whether you like it or not, so you can sit quietly at the table furthest from the "grill of death," as you so quaintly put it. You'll get your f****** salad bar, including organic tomatoes, but you know tomatoes have feelings too, they scream when you slice them. I've heard them scream. I'm hearing them scream right NOW!
I hope you all have a rotten holiday and then drink, drive and die.
Pauline, the Bitch from HELL!

RE: Pauline and the Holiday Party
I'm sure I speak for all of us in wishing
Pauline Lewis a speedy recovery and I'll continue to forward your cards to her. In the meantime, the management has decided to cancel our holiday party and instead, give everyone the afternoon of the 23rd December off with full pay.
Have a SUCCESSFUL day!

An expected guest was her OXYGEN TANK. Katie had to use it during the ceremony and reception. 
The other couple in this picture is Nick's parents, very emotional with the wedding and to see their son marrying the girl he fell in love when he was an adolescent.
Katie , in a wheel chair listening to her husband and friends singing to her.
In the middle of the party, Katie had to rest for a bit and catch her breath.
Katie died 5 days after her wedding. To see a fragile woman dress as bride with a beautiful smile makes you think... happiness is always there within reach, no matter how long it lasts.....
