Some weird snippet of yesterday morning’s talk:

GER: (after my showing her this dubious hair straightening product at Watson’s) Bakit ba pinipilit mo? Why can’t you just accept the fact that your hair’s gay?!
*cackles*

Everyone, this is Yuoseff. Sounds Chinese when called Yuo; sounds Aussie with the Sef, and altogether sounds like an Afghan refugee. Gotta love this guy apart from his vanity though. He’s the assigned trainer of Batch 6B, same batch we trained with, and same batch he’s kinda toying with when he’s in a foul mood. Ika nga ni Ger, minsan, galit siya sa tanga.

Not to say 6B is a room full of dummies. It’s just that his temper control fluctuates, and the nearest target may just be dead instead than face the wrath. Haha. Otherwise, he’s your ordinary mapamintas gay guy. And he’s lovable.

Now this one’s Hanesee. This one’s pretty lovable with her own sweet charm, kaso minsan nahahawa sa kabangagan ni Clarice. Nyaharhar. Bangag kasi lagi si Clarice, e. Or maybe it’s a UK trait, the department both Hanesee and Clarice came from, I dunno. Or baka dahil nanghihigop ako ng energy pag nangungulit ako sa kanya, I dunno as well. Kasi it’s a little hard to stop; it’s an itch that’s way too effing hard to ignore: you just gotta cuddle up to her. Kinakabahan nga ako dahil baka hindi siya sanay sa pangungulit ko, bigla akong kasuhan ng sexual harassment. Haha.

Anyway. Sadly, I don’t have a picture of Lance, and I know it’s kind of unfair considering he’s ALWAYS with me, or vice versa—he’s the ever reliable guy who has this scary persona kasi ang laki ng boses, pero pag nangulit, ang kulit talaga. Tinuturuan nga naming maging bakla. Eh ang laki-laki nya, then with that huge voice, he’d go, “churva.” ^_^

Right now, bading na naman ako. It goes with the influence—80% of the training management (that being Boo, the head trainer; Liz, Kaye and Yuoseff doing the department specifics; Jonathan, Jinky, Guill and Richard doing QA; Clarice, Hanesee, Lance and I as the batch supervisors) is gay: which roughly translates to 3 straight acting people (Kaye, Guill, Richard); 2 lovable men loving males (I’m being politically correct for Jonathan’s case as his significant other Aldrin might just kill me, although Yuoseff would admit to be a straight-looking fag [ “ sampalin kita ng bonggang bonga.” – Sef ]); Five gay identified females (Boo, Liz, Jinky, Clarice and Hanesee); and one very tolerant mafia boss (Lance). Ask me who wouldn’t want to go to work—although of course, the pressure for better scores is there, and sooner than later the score tracking will be around, and we’d be cut short on the laughing and joshing and be replaced by full-time worries, But hey, at least I have reasons to go to work with a skip which I’d exploit till it lasts.

And. The class has its charming points. A lot of them are gay-identified as well, and their humor can be sarcastic sometimes too, and though they’re not perfect, for now, I’m proud. I’m part of their success if ever, and hopefully we have taught them whatever they need to get around. By next week, I might not train with them anymore—I might already follow a different schedule, and life as the hardcore team leader should kick in. I got only one more day. Afterwards, I might just be a zombie like the rest.

But. Not complaining. Tuloy ang buhay, bekla. Mananampal na lang rin ako ng bonggang bongga.
