MAYMAY AND LUIS

Maymay and Luis are the Bonnie and Clyde of weather conditions.

They represent siginificant disruptions that are at par with Manila's hostaging of a deadline, Africa muting a short-term contract offer, and dealing with a bratty Prajnaparamita.

Luis and a returning victorious warrior came with the Monday emails just as a delayed appointment with a specialist was consumated with 58 bottles of birthday beer, 58 strands of delicate tiim na pata, 58 chunks of curnchy lechong kawali, 58 thin inihaw na liempo slices, and 58 cups of scalding sinampalukang manok

Luis was persistent but the amendments will be generated by the system alone, by the acceptance of statements despite foreign excange losses --- the supervisor said so at the drugstore counter where invoices are issued as a neurologist's press release on phasing out coal.  

Maymay offered  a lull long enough for a Jollibee breakfast but was more intense and unforgiving, aborting a Thursday ride that somehow got an evaluation madate moving through a bike-by at a rising McDonald's.


Reimbursements nudged the Bangkok Training and Oplan Anatolya but the daily rain shut out Cambodia from the system despite an offering of reheated birthday leftovers, a pouch of Japanese nuts, and plastic bowls of cold menudolechong ulo strips, and sour pindunggo to placate Apo Tudo.

It rained in Macondo for 4 years, 11 months, and 2 days which is the equivalent of almost 2 weeks in Bakal 2. 

Luis is a tropical depression while stormy Maymay interrupted our weekend walks but not our weekly lottery bets.

She is Kujira after all.

THE REIGN OF THE AIRLINES (and their air money)

Airlines rule.

The Regulator made me understand so, that my complaint againt Philippine Airlines should be lodged somewhere else, perhaps in repetitious SAP Form submissions through a worthless Footprint Report that escorted the unwelcome intrusion of a contested rating.  

The Lodge was therefore convened.

Crunchy deeep-fried sosohong permeated a delicate sinampalukang kambing as The Brethren gaveled an updated toolkit content, the fnal draft of an endline evaluation ToR, and a passdown allocation that mitigated The Teeth's struggle with a rubberry dinakdakan while recalling an airline's accountability in disputed credit card charges.

Is St. Jerome also the Roman God of Commerce? 

The Phantom Biker would not know so he searched the chat box about how OPA amendments can absorb foreign exchange losses, provisions to a contract offer that The Physician, in her absence, was uploaded into the OPP by The Ironman of Bakal 2 as they walked into the tarmac that isn't there.   

The Teacher at 80 smelled like a 53-year-old pussy that looked like a fried boneless chicken feet, the inihaw na hito served as an inflight meal of an untouchable airline, apparently.

ORTIGAS IN 5 SCENES (Before, During, After)

SCENE 1 (Yugen Japanese Restaurant): Plastic cards protest why highball was not served in a mug, why ramen noodles were omitted in the pre-departure chores that were loaded in the bus before being printed into briefing papers for an abbreviated weekly catch-up.     



SCENE 2 (Asian Development Bank 1): The Minister skipped the Tuesday quickie prior to receiving recommendations that will secure the well-being of the barkeeps at Engkanto Taps.

"Green Lava got Lost at Sea of Crook-O-Dile Tears from Hop Coolture"

SCENE 3 (Asian Development Bank 2): Social protection for the servers at Lola Cafe and the karaoke singers of District Brewing Company were expounded from the podium for the Timor Leste delegation and a Mentimetered discussion group. 

"Cruise Control at Crossing Ibabaw yelled Who is Your Daddy, to which Simon Says Belgian Wheat Beer"



SCENE 4 (O and The Firm): Carinderia adobo overpowered McDonald's daily pancakes to sign-off  Round 1 of an endline evaluation at 150 Panay Avenue where Racks of ribs fell from The Firm.


SCENE 5 (Bakal 2): Timesheets, a reimbursement, and a pass down were prepared for the Bretton Woods annuals but it was the Phanthom Biker's mobile wallet that paid for the tinola, the quarterly bloodworks, and the sisig and inihaw na bangus for The Ironman's dinner on pruning day. 

"Homeland finally retreated into the Outander's House of Cards
