Next time you think your hotel bill is too high you might want to consider this...

A husband and wife are traveling by car from Key West to Boston . After almost twenty-four hours on the road, they're too tired to continue, and they decide to stop for a rest.

They stop at a nice hotel and take a room, but they only plan to sleep for four hours and then get back on the road. When they check out four hours later, the desk clerk hands them a bill for $350.

The man explodes and demands to know why the charge is so high. He tells the clerk although it's a nice hotel; the rooms certainly aren't worth $350. When the clerk tells him $350 is the standard rate, the man insists on speaking to the Manager.

The Manager appears, listens to the man, and then explains that the Hotel has an Olympic-sized pool and a huge conference center that were available for the husband and wife to use.

"But we didn't use them," the man complains.

"Well, they are here, and you could have," explains the Manager.

He goes on to explain they could have taken in one of the shows for which the hotel is famous.

"The best entertainers from New York , Hollywood and Las Vegas perform here," the Manager says.

"But we didn't go to any of those shows, "complains the man again.

"Well, we have them, and you could have," the Manager replies.

No matter what facility the Manager mentions, the man replies, "But we didn't use it!"

The Manager is unmoved, and eventually the man gives up and agrees to pay.

He writes a check and gives it to the Manager. The Manager is surprised when he looks at the check. "But sir," he says, this check is only made out for $50."

"That's correct," says the man. "I charged you $300 for sleeping with my wife."

"But I didn't!" exclaims the Manager.

"Well, too bad," the man replies." She was here and you could have."

Management Lessons

[courtesy of my bro, alan]

Lesson One

An eagle was sitting on a tree resting, doing nothing. A small rabbit saw the eagle and asked him, "Can I also sit like you! and do nothing?"

The eagle answered: "Sure, why not."So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the eagle and rested. All of a sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it.

Management Lesson - To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lesson Two

A turkey was chatting with a bull. "I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree," sighed the turkey, "but I haven't got the energy."

"Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?" replied the bull. "They're packed with nutrients."

The turkey pecked at a lump of dung, and found it actually gave him enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree. The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch. Finally after a fourth night, the turkey was proudly perched at the top of the tree.

He was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot him out of the tree.

Management Lesson - Bull shit might get you to the top, but it won’t keep you there.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lesson Three

A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold, the bird froze and fell to the ground into a large field.

While he was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on him.

As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, he began to realize how warm he was. The dung was actually thawing him out! He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy.

A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate. Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him.

Management Lesson -

(1) Not everyone who shits on you is your enemy.

(2) Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend.

very important is this...
(3) And when you're in deep shit, it's best to keep your mouth shut!

This ends your two minute management course.

pbb teen

wifey had a field day yesterday taking pictures of these teen star wannabees. she was there wasting practically half of her day while neil and yours truly -- abandoned and left to fend for ourselves.

what's with these teensy-weensy boys/girls from pbb that wifey and the rest of the neighborhood "telenovela freaks," are willing to risk life and limb just to find out what they look like in person? just can't get enough, huh?

well, at least i have something for you, my legions of fans (excuse my assuming-ness...), who might have a thing or two for this kind of CRAP ---- yeah, that's my little and unwillful indignation for the millions of eerie fans of this voyeuristic tv show. just a pinch... its not gonna hurt... promise...

are you one of them? c'mon, you can tell me... go ahead... reveal yourself...

anyhoo, enjoy!

from 22, i just boost my completion percentile to 33.

you know how important this is to my career? very importante, comprender?

for two successive days, i put up a lot of sweat in between my legs just to up with my current stats...

for two successive days, i burn up a lot of my brows just to crawl my way to the top...

and, for two successive days, i strained my pupils and my "finger-lickin good" finger tendons, trying sooo hard to evade any distraction in order to rise through the ranks...

to get the latest, state of the art "pro" specs of my unit, i needed to beat all odds that come my way...

ladies and gentleman,

welcome to the new world (er, not so new cos i posted about it months ago) i am currently, truly, madly and deeply immersed into:

where do i begin....?

the dull er, doll haus...

the shapely pool
our room's front view and a giant itching to chow down some meaty humans...

________________________________________________
i don't how and where to begin...

should i talk about our company's team building seminar slash excursion or, the forgettable two and half days of computer gaming misadventure slash discovery slash national geographic slash reality tv channel mumbo jumbo channel surfing???

this is gonna be a lousy tale, i know...

to begin my off-topic powwow (cos believe me, i wont have any straight-up, eye catching, attention grabbing, stories to tell) today, we'll talk about the moon and the stars...

heh! aren't you bored yet?

really, i was browsing thru a lot of blogs lately and come up with an ironclad conclusion: gross, sex, profanity and crap - sells. well, there are heartwarming stories of people, yes... and the how to's were cool too. the tech·ie's stuff - great for the nerdie's.

guess i'm just hanging on the other side (ok, wrong then) of the fence that much, huh? maybe. but i'm really tempted to test my inconclusive findings (thought ironclad conclusion??): create another blog, talk about sex and violence, filthy stuffs, be abusively vulgar, show some really graphic video's (use your imagination).... whatchathink, dawg?

nah.can't swallow no shit like that, compadre!
________________________________________________
back to our company seminar slash excursion. the place is cool. 80km away from civilization (val told me so), 1km away more from the gates to the kingdom. the structure where me and the rest of the peps are holed up, looked like, felt like and, smelt like a doll house. now, all we need are some barbie dolls and some g.i. joes to complete the settings. i'd love to whack those pretty little barbie dolls to pieces... sorry biatch!

chronicling the whole affair would be tedious as it was a ho-hummer... well, for the most part of it. in fairness, the beach was nice. there were some white sands, yeah....near the shore line. a few meters further and it feels like you just step on some shit... oh, there's kayak too. june and elle, the company's "most eligible bachelorettes," were really good at kayak. they couldn't stop at it. they said, "it's good for our chest." wonder why's that. some naughty guys would ask them, "kita nasay mag kayak na" or "mag kayak ta!" or "kami nasay mag kayak beh." whatever that means.

but, no matter how far you'd swim your lungs out, it's almost always low water out there. bummer! didn't i mention there was a pool? well, that's because it's not worth mentioning anyway. with its very tiny, stupidly shaped, with a plastic slide for kids only features - more ho-hummers....

the beer... oh the beer... where's the goddam beer, marichelle?? helloww!! we're done with our task, you know. the fiercely fought competition(s) we have to endure for that day alone... damn, we're tired and we wanna have fun and start early! where's our drink ey? jagger, the unexpected cracker (that's his monicker, by the way, cos he cracks at the slightest pressure) went on to order us our toxin. nevermind that he had to pay a few bucks for it and our company explicitly made sure to bring the most essential part in a team building seminar -- booze.

after dinner, the long wait is over. beer is finally served.

there was awarding, blah, blah, blah....

played billiards with crooked sticks and dull ends. wow, we came all the way from the city to have some fun here and this is what we get? the aircon in that room isn't working either. not so nice, indeed.

we capped the night with jagger - "the hothead cracker," almost kick the ass of our drunk fellow for mouthing some crap at him. good thing, the masculado was there to pacify things. you know the masculado right? you don't know him? well, make a wild guess.

4am we're done with the booze binge for there's nothing left to imbibe. took a 3 hour sleep. the "main man" was snoring literally. what?? with all the food, lechon and the beer we devour that night, you expect me to go down quietely? you kidding me? good!!

8am breakfast. yum!

9am went to swim. as described above, ain't nothing further to add.

10:30am. exchange our painted ceramics (similar to the ones the kids paint at SM). we painted the darn thing the the day we arrived there... my goodness, it's tough getting it done properly!

over at the conference room, where we exchanged our ceramics and gave a short speech as to why we gave it to that person instead of the manager when he/she (the person whom we're giving our ceramics, dickhead!) neither's got the power to promote nor increase his/her lot. damn, i'm trapped in a drama laden room... can't wait to go home.

2:45pm... a long and winding road to home.

dude, i should rename this blog --- beach roots. i've been blabbing about the place since time immemorial. do i get some royalty here??? nah! nevermind. i'll talk incessantly about the place no matter what, anyhow.

shifting the name to 'beach' instead of 'paksit™' would be passé as there are a lot of beach blogs all over the place. as dennis "the menace" puts it, "they're like dogshit... all over the place."

so, friday was great.

all but one b.r. partners were there. the band played great music... most that we could jam in. soooo many peps, man!! t'was like the best days again, huh? i doff, for a night, my usual poison - strong ice beer, for an equally potent and more filling, red horse beer...one round please, andale! andale!

at the back of my head, i ominously predicted i would get some "serious" kick in the head with my choice of drink but, to hell with it... i'm here to enjoy, chum!

as you can see in the pics below, the place is fairly jam-packed. geeez, i'm back to my usual task: glamour boy-helper. well, i gotta. our "empleado's" could use a lot of help from the rest of the crew (find the 'crew' definition below).
