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" 

NOTES FROM THE JAKARTA ASSEMBLY

There was a Golden Bee conductor who punched pre-departure emails requesting social protection for the big beautiful women of PR 535 to Jakarta.

He complained how the lamb chops were done medium, an incident attributed to phasing out coal in Asia and the steep price of Bintang at The Marketplace.  

At the launch of the Bangkok Working Group Meeting, a mandate was circulated through an interview that surveyed the traditional dance landscape for the Bridge Builder awardee.

Rice noodles, cold soba and beef noodle soup with cow tendon, and chicken noodles with dumplings were presented as three colors of polo barongs for the logic model chairship.

Islamabad finally responded and was fined with a pre-departure dinner of nasi goreng, satae ayam, tongseng kambing, and 6 bottles of airport Kopi Susu Batavia. 

In Manila, Sheldon's Texas barbecue platter intervened beween hospital appointments to confirm a happy image analysis, prelude to the coverage of a presidential run in Cabanatuan. 

Luncheon meat and pork barbecue seasoned tasteless jackfruit chips from Kerala to close the week in Bakal 2...

THE 5TH SESSION

Ramen simmerred in a cold highball soup for the throng gathered in homage of St. Sebastian and the market that did not burn after radiotracers were released to trap positron emissions and guide gamma rays in highlighting hotspots that is prayed to be absent forever. 

Five headhunting basura rides disguised as anxiety management preceded the 5th PET Scan to spawn a project idea from the Phnom Penh Workshop. 

Thus was how confirmations were secured for the Jakarta Assembly and a draft framework agreement for an editorial review, accruals, and a style guide was authenticated. 

The arbitration took off despite the revocation of social protection due to an unresponsive system and while the internet was down, a lively chat purged the inbox to initiate the process for a final assessment.   

In Bakal 2, a medical reimbursement was paid for with pritong tilapia, Alfamart siomai, overdone SNR steak, and crunchy chicharong baboy.

The Central Bank's assignment of a handling officer ushered adaptation to the reality of coping with the implications of disputed fraudulent transactions.

GOOD MORNING GMAIL!

A Babyonian greeting clay tablet was sent to St. Joseph on his death anniversay since no one was picking the phones in Bakal 2.

The front desk at the Manila airport lounge explained that they only have altar wine from the Sunday eulogy for the dead miners.

Outside the Techo airport, a chauffer flashed a signage announcing the sequestration of the 3rd Sunday of June.

On Father's Day, the lady cashier of a Khmer carinderia in Phnom Penh overcharged a solo lunch of grilled pork belly and boiled egg by $0.50.

An early morning Gmail ritual has preceded the daily basura rides but the dreaded bank notices did not come through, not yet, perhaps because the father-at-hand (AKA the Phantom Biker) had a door jamb updated through a payroll withdrawal that also paid for provisions of a renewed internship, not at the newly opened minimarket but for the replacement vehicle that was received with a housewarming and a sinadag.

Notebooks and jackets were prepared for inpress as the last visa was secured for the Phnom Penh Workshop, but what wil be the contract type, how will the confrontation conclude?

Daily Gmail checks punctuated catch-ups, a quickie from the Bali Workshop aborted project grants closure but spawned the Jakarta Assembly.

The bus driver serenaded Bulan with a birthday song from Munoz up to the Manila airport where 28 pairs of ice cream,  yogurt, beer, and wine were served. 

Gmail remained opened for the hawkers of the Chaktomuk Walk Street where fathers were treated with sweet meats, grilled fish, toasted bread, and lots of cold beer.

HOGWARTS RELIVED

This is the story of 6 angels and a mischievous imp, of dead cats marinated in formalin, beaus that came and went, and a frayed toothbrush in the back pocket that smelled of the BPI Enigma being escalated for mediation --- moments reminisced during a lunch of kare-kare, tiim na manok, and lumpiang sariwa at Lingap Kalikasan where once upon a time, a memory vomited Tanduay Rhum through his nose.   

It was unfortunate that the enthusiasm for a full reunion was hostaged by a petty domestic tiff whose intensity was measured by indicators of tinumis, kaldereta, and reheated lechon --- the prologue and epilogue for a compendium of impact stories and the procurements in Phnom Penh in response to the inquiries from Melbourne.

 

The acacia tree still stands, a Zen garden has sprouted from the seismic fractures of Room 305 where tilapia and carabaos are now raised for an aberrant ice cream that is sold at the Old Market --- a brand that will stay despite its relocation, an upgrade, and a post-evaluation angst that echoed from the walls of a diner in Munoz where the Water Boy from Bakal 2 supped on 3 cans of beer.   

 

Our Hogwarts predated Harry Potter by 6 years --- the Pensieve where memory strands from the last 36 years were revisited including the Phantom Biker's daily morning ritual of disposing trash on the way to the bazaar, to the Siever that now stands guard at the Main Gate near the place called Marketing where the ageless Polly Jacob holds court prior to the reenactment of a 1990 moment at the Admin that was celebrated with an ice cream-topped banana cake in Talavera. 

We are D'JARMMS and reliving us in Hogwarts concluded with Episode 5 in the shadows of a subterranean garage  where commuters traversing a cutoff road by-passed the community shopping mall for a direct route to a nature park and a legal counselling of the 3rd Degree.

THE BPI ENIGMA

Dear Bank of the Philippine Islands,

You should take down your slogan of "Building a better Philippines --- one family, one community at a time" because it does not reflect what your people actually do.

Pressuring me to pay 342,270.65 pesos of disputed credit card charges that I did not authorize, execute, and gained from despite plausible explanations, and premised on "archaic, and legally untenable adhesion clause" within your Terms and Conditions is a misanthropic, uncompassionate, and callous manisfesttion of your corporate parasitism that only reinforces the prevailing impression of banks being heartless corporate beasts.

I dispute, I depose, and I protest such inequity in the presence of Craftsmen and the Thursday Group.

This is gross injustice, a Strava glitch running over empty egg trays, an erronous water bill snatching a purple bag of provisions from the streets of Bakal 1 and Bakal 2 to evolve a final workshop and procurement in Phnom Penh into flavors of a reheated lumpiang shanghai, sweet pork barbecue, fried tilapia, and three interpretations of the pata.  

The evil shadow of thhis monstrous adversity stole the alleviating sense of relief from succesfully petitioning for reinforced concrete design, the approval of Year 5 goals, the resolution of a persistent reimbursement, and the confirmation of a hybrid work arrangement that got the inbox purged through the initiation of a consultancy extension and the clarification of indiators that will measure Swiss and Nordic donors.

I pray that the other bank will be easier and reassuring like a recent ultrasound result diagnosis that justified Friday's sinadag for a straightforward medical reimbursement submission to avoid the infamy of BPI,  a memory best forgotten and glossed with a surreal afternoon in the park one rainy Sunday afternoon in Zaragoza where the first episode was casted.

REPLACEMENT CARDS

A House of Cards shuffled 6 times was dealt through 8 seasons of the Outlander.

Thus was how the plastic replacement cards were activated --- through the conveyance of a final blueprint for the conceptualization of the future after a performance assessment and the definition of targets for the next 12 months under the patronage of San Geronimo.

Bills were settled partially and fully, bikes --- both motor and mechanical --- got fixed, accummulated  garbage disposed, the week's lotto bets placed in Baloc, but the stench of fraudulent transactions still linger at least for the next 10 or 45 banking days whatever is the case. 

Impact stories will be published in recycled notebooks and emblazoned in UV jackets.

Such will be the final procurement and disbursement of the last month, without the social protection of a confirmed budget, with the application of a couple of reactions, and the assistance of a shoe cobbler.

Leftover beer was paired with inihaw na hito, bones of adobong bibe and pinatisan piled after a visit to the dead, bingo cards were served in a nonagenarian birthday buffet on the day octogenarian music was played for the last time...
