Metrosexual. Yeah.

Medical Day!

We had to troop to our friendly Intellicare clinic to have our blood spilled, temperatures taken, butt cracks examined and all those good stuff.

If you think this topic is to "eeewww" for your taste, fret not. I'm not gonna go into a literary version of 2 girls one cup here. That was just an intro. Meaning, I just blabbed about something not related to what I'll be blogging about. ^_^

Me and my colleagues finally had a chance to sit down and talk about the things that are bothering us in the office. And what do you know? We went straight to the topic of homosexuality. Haha.

We have this colleague, who, according to himself, is STRAIGHT. Not the hair, not the type of guy he wants, but his preference. Personally, I don't give a F*&^%$. He is one of my closest buds in the office and if he tells me that he is straight, then he is. But that does not erase the fact that I have my own opinion about him. The thing is, I keep it to myself.

My other colleagues were puzzled with him, since he dresses flamboyantly. He has this headband that reminds me of Uma Khouny (who is also straight - yeah right). He has a certain twang when he talks. As in metrosexual to the highest level. Being a friend, I'm just glad I was able to meet a straight-metrosexual in person since I do not believe in the metrosexual crap in the first place. (I can make adjustments for friends haha).

And being one of those people who spend most of the work time with him, they naturally asked for my opinion.

What I just said is - "It's all a matter of choice. And besides, whether he confesses or not, he is still my best bud." I'd have a really really good laugh once he confesses though. I have one more accomplice when I'm out hunting. ^_^

Disclaimer: I'm not sure how far out my blog would go but most of my exploits would be in a Filipino setting (unless one day I wake up and find myself in New York). So pardon to those who would not get what I'm gonna be talking about.

In this day and age, you have got to praise Advertising. It entertains us, informs us and ruins our dinner.

I'm constantly looking for new things to try out. It depends on my mood for the day whether I'd go with it or not. I remember seeing this TV commercial about a new product released by a majority-of-our-products-are-chicken-fastfood chain. It involves chicken (of course), tortilla chips, bell peppers and stuff - much like a tortilla. So when i got the chance, I dropped by one of their branches to get my hands on the said offering. I immediately asked the attendant.

Me: "How big is the [beep-brand goes here] melts?

Attendant: It's 9' sir.

Me: Hmmm... 9' in circumference ? (since i thought it would be a round thing)

Attendant: Much like a regular pan pizza sir.

Me: (thinking) - 100 bucks for that? Sweet ^_^. Ok. I'll have an order of that and one order of a snackbox (hahahah i think you guys know who I'm referring to).

So I paid for the meal and went to sit by my buddy who was waiting for me to complete my order.

It was surprising that they served the melts in a box. I thought that was kinda neat. But I got the biggest surprise when I opened the box - the box was not intended to impress me. It was meant to hide something.

> It was half the size of a regular pan pizza.

> The tortilla wrapper was paper-thin - and I do mean paper-thin!

> The wrapper was not crispy, it was not even toasted. As in it looked "fresh" out of the packaging.

> The contents were not held in by the wrapper and is actually scattered on the box surface.

> It looked really sloppy and kinda looked like how a taco would look like when you step on it.

> It was hella cold.

> It was so far from the poster that they had in the store. (I remember seeing the filling about half an inch thick)

> Remotely appetizing.

I remember the commercial they had, it was compared to a burger with big burger buns and a small beef or pork patty. I'd rather eat somewhere else or have the burger if I really do not have any other choice.

At least, I am able to prove a couple of things.

> They have a really good advertising and marketing team. (from the commercial to the box that they use to serve the food)

> That I studied marketing and business administration and I need to restudy my craft since it's already used against me and fooled me a couple of times.

> That is the reason why most companies have disclaimers on their posters - "Actual product may vary from display".

> And I am bored since I'm not doing anything and actually finished a blog entry while I'm at work.

I think I have time for one more blog entry later. ^_^
