batominton

batominton = japanese word for badminton
 
Yesterday, I played badminton with my mom, my sister and my little brother. Call it quality time with my family. My dad was not around because of two reasons, he had church service that afternoon and he's not really into that sport. Anyway, I'm blogging about this sport simply because I like it very much. Especially when you're using a 1,400-Peso Yonex racket. I borrowed from my sister. hehehe. Personally, I wouldn't spend that amount for a racket. At least not yet. hehehe.

huwat?!

I want to share something funny that happened this morning.
 
I'm working on this support ticket that I was not familiar with so I went to ask my TL. This is how the conversation went:
 
Me: TL, can you help me with one of my tickets?
TL: Ok, what's your problem?
Me: You see it's like this...
 
I went on to explain my problem. TL appears to listen. After about a minute of explaining every detail of my problem, this is what the TL responded.
 
TL: Ganito and gawin mo...
 
I listened closely on what she was about to say.
 
TL: ...humingi ka ng tulong kay Boyet (not his real name).
 
NYEK!!!
 
When I heard her reply, I was not sure whether I would scream or laugh (or slap her with a closed fist -- kidding!). I mean, what the fuck?! After making me talk for about a minute, after she listened intentively to what I'm saying (or at least I thought she was), that's all she had to say?
 
Can we say *omitted*?
