Today, out of my whining, I was so gastronomically creative I ended up making a sandwich.
I name it the 2 Cheese-Chicken Sandwich. The spread has shredded chicken thigh, a slice of Philadelphia cream cheese, minced button mushroom stalks, white onion, chopped pickles, drops of extra virgin olive oil, salt, black pepper and mayo. The sandwich is perfect with crispy iceberg lettuce, topped with Australian cheddar cheese on rye bread.
Really yummy. My special gurl says she can sell the 2 Cheese-Chicken Sandwich at 50 a pop.
Anyway, my whining was all over including my SMS.

It's pretax season, that's why.
Last Friday, Tin and my special gurl boxed out my plan to whine the weekend away. So, I threw out the whining and hurried to pick up Tin.
Things were typically fine until both of them transformed into Drama Queens (DQs). On our way to the Lami Restaurant in Luneta, Tin said that her heart's literally hurting because she and P (her man) were in a "la lang" LQ.
ME: Literally? Pwede ba yon?
S. GURL: Oo naman, no.
TIN: Eh, masakit nga. Kumikirot konti.
ME: Sus. DQ!
TIN: DQ?
ME: Drama queen. Kayong dalawa, DQ.
First sip of my coffee at Starbucks Intramuros, Tin proposed to talk about business.
Bad idea. I put my mug down and told her no. She ignored me. I told her to go ahead with the topic for as long as she let me tune out and enjoy my essence. So she did with a slight complaint. My special gurl talked about marketing. When it was time to cover creatives, Tin brought me back to the table.
With a small amount of enthusiasm, I said, "We're geniuses."
The plan is to venture into indie films. I agreed to do the script. Tin will direct.
The producer is still out there.
And then, Tin set a deadline for the screenplay. Wednesday.
Right.
Yesterday she asked my special gurl if we could attend the marketing meeting for her art school project somewhere in Katipunan.
My special gurl consulted and left the decision to me. I texted Tin and told her yes if only Bogart will be allowed to come along. She replied I was whining again.
TIN: You're coming?
ME: Yea yea.
TIN: Goody.
ME: About what pala?
TIN: Marketing nga of the art workshops. I'll ask (beep) and (special gurl) if they could contact schools, companies, etc.
ME: Oh props lang ako.
TIN: Because you're always spacing out when we talk business. I ought to bring a ball or a toy truck to entertain you whenever we talk about money.
ME: Crossword puzzle.
TIN: Uh-huh.
There's not much work to be done in my company this season. Gain nowadays is courtesy of the PR mats for candidates running in this year's election. Just yesterday, a new job order was sent through fax.
I guess without the elections, I'd say the industry I'm in is slowly dying. Blame it on the economy.
So what chills these days? Daily work outs.
This morning Jayson, the trainer, increased the weights for the pullover, a chest exercise. Likewise, he increased by ten the plates for the inclined barbell bench press. I've also learned to love the cross-trainer, preferring it over the treadmill.
Working out. It's a great stress-buster.

ME: Akyat kaya tayo sa Baguio?
TIN: Puta! You're feeling this fucking heat too?
ME: Yea. It's gettin' that infamous. Gonna try to twist some arms. If am able to borrow a house up there, food na lang prob. Tapos, sama kita sa trunk.
TIN: Yipee!

kids should know that...
The independent film scene's development in the 1990s and 2000s has been stimulated by a range of factors, including the development of affordable high-definition digital video cameras that can rival 35 mm film quality and easy-to-use computer editing software and the increasing visibility of independent film festivals such as the Sundance Film Festival. The first independent film released on HD DVD was One Six Right on November 1, 2006. (wikipedia)
