A Talk with HY

I will not name here because I believe in protecting people's credibility. But I just really want to share this funny experience with her while it's still fresh in my head.

HY is the head of this pseudo-powerful group in this quite powerful network. I have known her name from way back since she is kinda showbiz anyway. Little did I know that my impression about her was true. She is indeed kukubel.

We started talking at 5:15, and when we finished it was about 7. For almost two hours, she had nothing but praise release. Praise release as to how her ward is like the country's most popular, the sexiest, talented, fairest and most educated out of showbizlandia. To her mind, Claudine and Juday don't exist; only the "brightest" of her ward exists.

Well, she's the group big manager anyway. That's expected. But what I can't stomach is how she started throwing her moldy-oldy ideas like they were Cannes contenders. And how she pointed out that SHE SHOULD BE WORKING FOR AN AGENCY. Well, for a motor-mouth like her, she could certainly be in Accounts. But her ideas are all moldy.

What more, when she started dishing out her mumbo-jumbo about her latest "discoveries", she was almost orgasmic how this "miss real estate" was like God's gift to mankind. I asked myself (i tuned out since 5 minutes into the meeting), why is there even a contest for miss real estate? What's it for? Ang babaeng amoy lupa, kasing lapad ng condominium unit, or has the potential to sell the most? Or was it a dummy search for rich DOMs to donate their real estate to?

Anyway, she went on and on talking about the (yawn!) things she did for her group. She even, at one point, told me how to do my job! And whenever I tried to bring it back to topic, she would find a way to get back to her story and the role her new "discoveries" are going to help.

Finally, she was near tipping point. She was already arguing with herself (like GOLLUM) as to whether this girl is her talent or not...

It ended with her giving out this very blonde and ditzy comment about her ideas. It's sooooo cute! (I DON'T NEED CUTE. I NEED SALES!) I love it so much (OPERATIVE I. ONLY YOU LIKED IT; I DIDN'T) . I'm so sure you liked it too. (NO, NOT REALLY) Really, I think it's going to be cute if we do this!!!! (AGAIN, I DON'T NEED CUTE. I'M NOT REPRESENTING SANRIO HERE.) TOGETHER!!! (NOT IN THIS LIFETIME)

My response: Let's see.

I'm not even a fan or an avid watcher of that network!
