RV Week 7: Overheard

Scene 1: Veranda, during the company-sponsored lunch, where the sun was out and the weather was really nice...

People were talking about their favorite food, cultural differences, and all the mundane things you can talk about under the sun. Then the conversation turned to Chipotle, a Mexican place here in Rockville, being owned by McDonald's. *I professes his love for Chipotle and how he was a big fan of the burrito bowl when all of a sudden *P comes up with one of his subtle but killer spiels...

*P: (Poker-faced with his deadpan look) Kaya pala lasang Burger McDo...
*S: (Gullible and clueless as usual, looks at *P) Di naman ah!?!

Then I break out into peals of laughter and *P follows, and then *S gets it. (hehehe)

Scene 2: Breakfast table at the hotel.

*S: Nakalimutan ko yung baon ko. Pwede ko ba kunin?
Me: Sure.
*P: Sige *S. Dala ka nung Hi-Ace ha (referring to Hi-C, the juice we all grew up with), favorite ko yun eh.
*S: (looking at *P then at me then giggles) Hihihi...Ano ulit yun?
*P: (realizing his booboo) Hi...? Ano ba yun? Hi-C?

Scene 3: Social hour at the hotel.

We unwind after work with drinks and with whatever food served during the social hour. One time, hotdogs and hot buns were served. We rush to the bar to get our share and we take our seats. We discuss all sorts of things. One time, *B and *P were strategizing on how to maximize the hotdogs and buns. The social hour wore on then suddenly...

*B: *P, meron ako nito!!! (flashing his hotdog stuck on his fork in one hand, and another hotdog in a bun with his other hand...very child-like I must say.) Hahaha!
*P: Para kayong bata...yung sa mga children's party.
*B: Kayo ka jan eh kasama ka dun.
*P: Anong kayo? Sabi ko ka...
*B: Kayo sabi mo eh...
*S and I were just listening since we were busy eating as well.
*P: Sorry po, tao lang...
*B: (In his oh-so perfect timing reeking with sarcasm...) Kelan pa?

Now you see my team's dynamics. Be that as it may, they are all I have and I love them. ( I can hear *B saying Yuck!!! Hahaha!)
