what's wrong with what i said?

there's this company which is having a calling spree once again with our high school yearbook.

so they called me twice. both times i was sleeping and my mom and helper had to wake me up because they thought it was an important phone call... the second call was an hour ago with me voiceless, weak and really sick

the first call (male) was alright, but the second (female) was pretty interesting. the female caller said the exact same thing as the male caller with a twist:

(all of the lines in CAPS LOCK was the lines the female and male caller said)

caller: HI IS THIS KRIZIA LOUISE ORDONA

me: yes, who's this?

caller: YOU DON'T KNOW ME PERSONALLY BUT I UNDERSTAND YOU'RE AN ALUMNI OF ST SCHO MARIKINA?

me: yes, i am

caller: OK, THIS IS A BUSINESS CALL, IS THIS A GOOD TIME?

me (to the female caller): oh, someone already called me and I'm really not interested

female caller (trying to challenge me): what's the name of the company?

me: i can't remember

female caller (sounding irate): then how can you be sure?

me: you have the same script

female caller: whatever

*toot toot toot toot*

i told my mom the story, and she said "ikaw kasi masyado kang----" she stopped... and so now i'm wondering if I actually said something wrong.

to my defense, i have 2 points:
1. don't these companies have a checklist of whom they've already contacted? i mean come on, no means no.

2. what's so "business"-y with saying "whatever" and putting down the phone with a hint of a tantrum in it? I mean she was the one who said it was a business call, why did she seem irate/ offended that someone from their company had already contacted me? so much for professionalism

don't whatever me. that's my line. whatever.

so was it wrong to say that "they were scripted"? I don't have the best memory but I do remember the lines because both calls woke me from a good sleep. RAR. hahaha


51st grammy awards

the "the view" girls were right. it was a complete mix of generations. artists from different timelines sang together.

here are a few of the performances/presentations/winnings i enjoyed:

taylor swift-miley cyrus: when i heard the commentator that they would be next, i was like, "oh great, the two divas" but i was really intrigued so i waited and actually enjoyed their duet which showed that swift was the better singer

jonas brothers and stevie wonder: wow! burnin' up and superstition. although i thought one of the jo bros forgot the lyrics.

carrie underwood: underwood doing rock. it was cool although i couldn't understand a word she was singing.

jennifer hudson: tear jerking performance. but of course the knowledge of the recent tragedy made the audience cry

estelle and kanye: american boiiiiiii... the man diva didn't make a scene. rephrase. the 10-time grammy award winner didn't make a scene

jt and t-pain: finally! "dead and gone" that's the title

lil wayne and rob thicke: unexpected tandem

al green: moon river

MIA: ready to pop..yep she was due that day, but heck even i would postpone the birth of my kid to attend the grammy's

katy perry had an interesting performance too... it was well, colorful

coldplay.. i'm not so sure about their neon colored jackets. but what the hell, they won 2 awards

adele winning the best new artist was shocking. i think everyone expected the jonas brothers to win.

whitney houston--- looked toasted, wasted and all the eds in the world that could describe here weird presence which was supposed to be her comeback

kid rock ruled! enough said.

and last but not the least (and my favorite part of the show) was the collaboration of justin timberlake with al green, keith urban and boys II men singing "let's stay together". It was the coolest mix considering it was a last minute (rather, last two hours) addition to the program what with all the chris brown-rihanna drama going on. the story according to the grammy's coordinator was when rihanna called to inform them that she would be a no-show because of an "accident" and minutes later, chris brown called that he couldn't make it, the coordinator went to timberlake's dressing room to ask if he could give green a ring. and lo and behold, he was in the tub. so "rub a dub dub, al in a tub" they had to transport him through a golf cart because of the traffic.

now for the chris brown-rihanna incident that makes me (for some reason) really sad, hmmm.. no comment? not that they need one. but i guess we have to wait for their story before we could judge.
