And slightly sad, half-mad nevergirl is


… just a 25-year-old who still wishes it would rain chocolates one day. No matter how many stilettos she learns to walk in and never mind that she breathes work and smells of stale potential, she’d always be half in love with peter pan and that secret, secret place not-so-little girls go to when they do not want to grow up or compromise their dreams.

Good Times; Full Times

February 27, 2007

I found out belatedly that today is the cook's birthday. No, it's not what you're thinking. I don't live in a mansion and we don't have a cook, along with a chauffeur, and several parlormaids all waiting on me hand and foot. Although I wouldn't mind having all of the above if they were offered to me in a platter, M is the company cook. We have a cook in the office because we're given free lunch and should we do overtime until 9:00 in the evening, free dinner, too.

M turned 41 today. There's an unspoken rule in the office that at some point during the day, the birthday celebrant will be responsible for feeding 49 hungry people. This is no mean feat; you'd need at least a thousand bucks. For the cook, such money is out of the question, and we felt bad that she had to slink about to avoid enthusiastically called out birthday greetings because these are always followed by the question, "Unsay handa?"

So, the team leaders and I threw her a very-last-minute surprise. We got bihon, 4 gallons of ice cream, and chocolate cake.  I told the accounting clerk to distract her while everyone trooped to the kitchen. She was teary-eyed when everyone burst into a happy birthday song, and for once in company history, everyone didn't attack the food as soon as these were laid out on the table. We all waited til M's blown her candles, sliced her cake, and had her fill of the ice cream. Then, we charged.

I miss times like this. Sus, where I used to work, kina bibohan basta naay birthday. When I left, kina mingawan na daw. Wala nay kugihan maningil. hehehe!

Cheers to your boss! Free lunch and dinner (although they don’t cost much) make a lot of difference.
