eMotE...

first day of training for my new post and im excited...bakit? kasi one week petiks mode toh...hehe sorry for the slang "petiks" means chillax mode kasi training nga so la masyado pressure sa work and one week to kaya masaya..teka mukhang paulit ulit na ako ah..and lately napapansin ko lagi akong nag-sstammer while talking..is it because of soo many things running havoc on my mind? is that the reason i cant get words srtaight out of my mouth? hay!!! anyway, first time ko nakita si boss after a long while. it always amazes me to see him kasi well, dati pa naman kasi akong amazed sa mga foreigners lalo na with their blue/green eyes. sometimes i fall into a trance while looking at them...at one point nga yung tatay ni james naiirita na sa sobrang "pagka-amaze" ko sa kakaiba nilang mata. kasi naman noh..its uncommon to see people with those colors of the eyes natural dahil pinoy tayo. ganun naman talaga yun di ba? anything that is unusual always command attention from the curious ones hehe...going back to my story, so ayun nga nakita ko si boss after a long hiatus. he went over to our stations and nag-emote..
"do you know guys why i seldom come over here? its because i just get approached with 3 things...either for peysaluvong, treats or id laces...you guys dont appreciate me as me..." with matching turo ng 2 kamay sa sarili niya.
"but ___ thats how we appreciate you and show you ur needed..." joke ko naman sabay ngisi
"yeah right.." dugtong nya sa tonong pabiro din
but the truth is we missed him really...actually we were talking about him just the other day wondering what is taking him so long to go back here. siguro lang kasi we are kinda allienated by his culture but we do miss him. saka kasi para bang dahil tyong mga pinoy ay likas na magagalang kahit na nagpapakita ng sense of equality among employees sa office we still cant help it but put distance between us and the bosses. siya binababa ang sarili for us to reach him habang kami naman, we push him away but it doesnt mean na ayaw namin sya, culture differences lang. pero siguro time will come... tulad nung isang boss na afro-american na hit na hit sa mga pinoy employees dito...time will come we will manage to overcome the difference and patch up tha gap that exists between us and him.
