Remixed: Bench and the Hearing Impaired

One after-work afternoon, I went inside one of their stores looking for “emergency” socks. Mine’s all soiled and I need fresh ones to last me until three days after, the day I get my clothes from the cleaners. I approached one unsuspecting sales person to ask where they put ‘em. The lady, about 5′2 in height, shoulder-length hair, charming and pretty, clean-looking and pleasant, was everything that a helpful sales person ordinarily may look like. She then amicably showed the ID hanging from her neck that read, “I’m Deaf.”… read the rest of this story at fritizified.com >>

Countdown to Showtime from the EHeads Concert (Video)

The place was packed. The gates opened for the public at 3:00 PM and everyone waited patiently for the Eraserheads to play once more. When the timer started counting down everyone just went wild. View the short vid from fritzified.com.

Speculations Regarding the Eraserheads “One Night Only” Concert

…what if:

  • The event pushes through in the hands of another organizer?
  • What if the original organizers had decided to throw in the towel?
  • What if the private event now becomes, gasp, public?
  • What if your chances of seeing the band you’ve listened to in your youth were given to you at arms reach if only you were to pay for admission?

Sounds impossible? Read the rest of this article at fritzified.com.

The Tall Tale of the Shabu Shabu and the Hungry Tax-Experts-in-Training

I had been doing hot pot wrong all this time. And to think I thought I would never again set foot in a shabu shabu place to grab grub. Last time I’ve been in one is, I think, about six or seven years ago, give or take, when I was still starting out as a tax expert in the best audit firm in the country. Tax experts in training get hungry all the time, you see. And an ordinary sized meal would only make us want to tear each other’s hair out in frustration. So the dinner place of choice could only be that now closed shabu shabu restaurant in Glorietta or a brawl scene started by manic-and-hungry corporate looking, calculator weilding, BIR forms and worksheets clutching tax experts in training could ensue. You get the picture, right? Good.
