Ladies in the office were lucky today. Boss Mon gave each one a rose. Boss Jun gave M&M chocolates. The good stuff about this day ends here.
Fire Follow Up
Sal called me up via cellphone early this morning ... I was still asleep so it was a "missed call". She called up again during lunch break. Ofcourse it would be about the Manila fire. She couldn't get hold of Willy. She wanted to know if her photo albums were still there. Told her I took some to Laguna years ago, but I can't remember if I left some albums there. She had asked Edith to bring her albums to California. Tough luck. Edith passed by the house yesterday but did not mention anything about the albums. Edith flies back to the USA today (or was her flight last night?).
Getting a Virus
One bad thing about commuting is that I am exposed to people with colds or cough more often than people who travel using their own cars. What's worse is that I pick up their virus quickly. Which is why I have been nursing a slight fever for days now. Problem today is that I already felt weak, but heavy Valentine's Day traffic meant I had to stand and wait about an hour at the bus terminal to get a ride. Result? High fever and feeling really bad. I know I won't make it to the office tomorrow.
TARA 2 Finale
The final 3 teams at The Amazing Race Asia Season 2 in order of their start times were Marc and Rovilson (Philippines), Adrian and Colin (Singapore), Pamela and Vanessa (Malaysia).
At the final stop, Adrian and Colin were first, followed by Pamela and Vanessa, with Marc and Rovilson coming in last.
Marc and Rovilson would have taken the top prize if they put some thought into who should do the final task which was a Roadblock. The task was identifying and arranging the flags of the countries the Amazing Race has taken them to ... in the correct order. Since Marc and Rovilson have been taking turns at Roadblocks, Rovilson took this one. Problem is, the race has proven Marc to be the nerdier of the two. I know Marc could have finished the task faster since he was muttering about Rovilson getting flags wrong while he watched from afar. Rovilson started the task ahead of the others, but he was the last to finish. Consequently, he and Marc got to the final pitstop last. The cool thing is seeing Colin and Adrian get to the Roadblock last, but the moment I saw Adrian start picking up the flags with certainty, I knew he would finish first.
Garn! I wonder if any Philippine team would get into Season 3?
-----edit Feb. 24-----
Since Cristy hadn't realized that on the same day Rey had his picture taken with the actress Mylene Dizon, we also had our picture taken with Marc, Rovilson and another TV talkshow host, I am reposting that picture here:
Cristy would love to apply for Season 3 but has a hard time convincing Joseph to be her team mate.
First thing I told Cristy: She doesn't have a sense of direction. She told me Joseph is good with directions. Plus he doesn't flare up when she does. Good combination. He he he!
