get my name right, will you??!!
One of the burdens of having a name like mine is that people often get confused with my sex. Seriously, even if they see ALEXANDRA printed in bold capital letters, they still think I'm a guy. My name in the Grade 6 yearbook is ALEXANDER for crying out loud. What, was there any facial feature that was even indicative of my being a male? Holy craaaap. Even my aunt calls me Alexander!alex: hello?
pizza guy: hello sir alex lee?alex: huh. excuse me?p.g.: (is probably slapping his forehead at hearing my feminine voice) uh, yes, ma'am alex, we had a problem here yadayadayada...hindi po namin nakuha yung address niyo yadayadayada...alex: uh-huh. hindi ba yun binigay nung call center?p.g.: ang gulo po talaga nung system e *chuckles nervously*...kung pwede lang po makuha yung address niyo...(he still goes on explaining about the mix-up for about 3 minutes) tinawagan ko na nga po yung call center at lahat e. *chuckles nervously again* o sige po, 'bye! *hangs up phone*That P.G. was weird. He didn't even get our address. Besides, if he already called the call center, why was he bothering to call me? Plus, I clearly remember the lady at the call center called me Alexandra. The P.G. should have seen that. Annoying pipsqueak.

Today, I was finally able to get out of the house. Freedom at last. Had a fun fun lunch with Nicki and Jescia. We went to Wok Dis Way to relive "fond" summer review memories. It looked just the way it did one summer ago. We even saw 3 of our teachers. Don't think they recognized us. Ah, well. The food was as "questionable" as ever, but we, the self-proclaimed planning committee of our group, still had fun planning future summer getaways.
Towards the end of the meal:
Jescia: Dessert tayo. May dessert kaya sila dito?
Alex: Wala ata. Walang nakalagay sa menu e.
Jescia: Sabi na we should have gone to Cravings. Dun definitely may dessert.
Nicki and Alex: *exasperated sigh* Sabi nga e, we're reliving our summer review memories.
After our dessert-less lunch, we went to NBS to pass the time. Para magliwaliw. Saw some rather interesting books. We browsed through them for a while laughing at all the weird stuff we read, then when Nicki left, Jescia and I went to Starbucks for a quick drink.
'Twas a great day. :)
