Office Sitcom Characters Series 1
This is Andre.
He's one of our Digital Specialists (sidenote: we were at an event and he won the Sanyo 12-piece dinner set in the raffle hahaha, that's what he's holding). Andre is a guy guy. He's like my little brother but most of the time he acts like a big brother. He's so patient with me and Jacq, everytime we whine and make him wait. Case in point:
Me: Ay naku, Dre. I hate myself. I am being SUCH A GIRL about this.
Andre: Yah, that's because you ARE. Okay lang yun. That's really cute when you act like SUCH A GIRL. Hahaha.
Me: Gusto mong samain ka sa akin?
Andre: He seems nice naman Je e. You should give it a try. We like him for you. Pero pag pinaiyak ka nyan or niloko ka nyan pupuntahan ko yan sasapakin ko talaga yan.
So earlier today we were in the middle of an animated conversation while having lunch and well, I always call my girlriends "mare". So I accidentally addressed him: Mare!!!
And he said in the gayest possible voice ever: Ano yun sister?
I was laughing so hard I almost snorted pasta out of my nose. :)

This is Kae.
She's my team mate and she is such a sweetheart. That's what I call her, Sweetheart. I have terms of endearment for all my team mates. :) So anyway Kae is such a nice girl and I really love working with her especially since sometimes she acts as if I am the funniest person since sliced bread hahaha.
Kae: Hahaha! Jeje you're so funny, I love it when you laugh.
Hmmm... I'm not sure if that's a good or a bad thing. So this afternoon Kae asks me:
Kae: Je, will it be okay if I go with Andre for a meeting in Manila? Around 2PM.
Me: Yup, okay, but fix everything first for the installation in Ateneo before you leave.
After an hour.
Kae: Hey Je. I'm going ahead na ha (for the meeting in a Hotel with Andre).
Me: *smiling* Magmeemeeting ka ba talaga? Or magdedate ka lang?
(sidenote: We tease Andre to all the girls in the office. Wala lang ganon lang talaga yun. No particular reason why. Hehe)
Kae: Oh no! Meeting hahaha!
Me: Tindi nyo a. Magdedate lang kayo sasabihin nyo pa you're going on a meeting. Mahiya naman kayo. Hahaha. Ba't ka naka-plunging?
Kae: (looks down at her shirt) Oh no! Hahaha.
Then our CEO comes out of his office and pipes in.
CEO: Sino magde-date?
Me: Kae and Andre! Grabe no, sir, di na nahiya nagpapaalam pa sa akin hahaha.
CEO: Selos ka lang ata, Je e.
Me: Me? Hello hindi ko type si Andre.
CEO: Ahahaha! Ay oo nga pala! Alam ko nga pala kung ano mga type mo. HAHAHA.
Me: What are you doing out of your office anyway? Diba busy ka, Sir?

This is Yvette.
She is the Head of our Consultancy Department. You better believe it, look at her I don't even have to prove how silly she is, haha. (Yves, if you're reading this, I really love you haha). I guess Yvette sells our products so well because of her humor haha.
This is Kristine.
She's the Head of our Product Development Department. She only looks serious here but trust me, together with Yvette, they are are a force to be reckoned with in mancom. I think one of their goals is to humiliate me in mancom and laugh about it till kingdom come.
One of our humiliating mancom sessions:
Our CEO treated us to pizza and soda so we can proceed with mancom over lunch. We were in the board room, Yvette and Kristine were sitting across me. Imagine this taking place while our Boss was trying to discuss something.
Yvette: (discreetly shoving a piece of table napkin at me from across the table)
Me: (mouthing the words) What? I don't need tissue. I have a lot!
Yvette: (giving me an exasperated look and still trying to shove the tissue from across the table)
A whole minute went by and Yvette still did not stop from her tissue signals.
Me: (mouthing the words again) What is your problem? I don't want tissue. I don't need it. What?
Kristine: (rolls her eyes, sighs, and speaks in a normal voice) Ano ba Je! Kunin mo raw yang tissue may note si Yvette sayo!
Yvette: (starts giggling to herself)
Me: Ano ba, are you guys in highschool?
By this time all kinds of thoughts are running through my head and my heart was beating like crazy. I mean, hello, I do not want for our CEO to ask me to READ the stupid note in front of all mancom members. I gingerly reach out to get the crumpled tissue.
Guess what Yvette wrote which she thought was valid enough to interrupt mancom.
"Ano gamot sa dysmenorrhea?"
Series 2 to follow. :) Happy weekend, you guys! :)
