Hahaha, ever since I took that job in Atlantis, I've been answering the phone in this demure voice that misleads the caller into thinking that I'm a "normal" person. Little do they know about the crazy little girl that I really am, ahehehe.

We were bombarded with tons of phone calls since this morning that Ate Sally and I kept twisting up the cords of both phones. Most of the calls we got were about ticket prices, show dates, and of course, the question we despised most of all ("At which shows will KC be performing in?" ). Rawr, hehehe.

Some snippets of my crazy phone moments...

Overseas Caller (OC): So kelan magpe-perform si... yung anak ni Sharon Cuneta?
Me: Ay, di po malalaman kung kelan po sila magpe-perform.
OC: Meron bang matatawagan para malaman yun?
Me: Wala po, kasi on the show date itself na mismo malalaman who will perform as Belle.
OC: Ah, OK. Kasi naman, babayad kami ng P1500 para manood. Eh kung manonood ka, diba syempre yung sikat na yung papanoorin mo, diba?
--> At this point, all I could do was laugh, but what I really wanted to say was "HELLO??!? If you're going to watch, shouldn't you appreciate the other actors as well as the other aspects of the show, not just because there's a celebrity in the cast??" Ahehehe, but of course, I had to be polite.


After this entire barrage of nonstop phone calls during the late morning, the phone that Ate Sally was using to connect to the Internet rang, hence disconnecting her. Chuckling at her frustrated sighs, I answered the phone...

Me: Atlantis, good morning.
Someone: Hello... Hogi??
Me: Who's on the line?
Someone: It's Bobby.
Me: Ay! Hello!
--> Whoops, hahahaha. I just had to laugh, once again. And I was kinda surprised that he already knew my voice over the phone, specially that he was calling from Hongkong.


Of course, then there's the usual, unavoidable excuse that people say when they want to see KC as Belle...

Caller: Aling show ba magpe-perform si KC?
Me: (*thinking "Will this never end?!?"*) Ah, hindi po malalaman po yan until the actual show date itself po.
Caller: Ah... Kasi gusto ng (*insert relative here*) na si KC yung mapapanood eh.

...or...

Caller: Ah... Kasi manggagaling yung mga (*insert relatives here*) galing (*probinsya/abroad*), so sayang naman yung hindi si KC yung mapapanood.

Rawr, que annoying. And as if it wasn't enough...

Caller: Diba may schedule na dapat to know which shows sila magpe-perform?
Me: Wala po. People will only know on the actual show date because it will be posted 2 hours prior to the show.
Caller: Ganon? Kasi dati merong ganun, nung "Little Mermaid" ba yun?
--> No, there wasn't!


And then there was the last one in the afternoon. I was eating crackers and the phone rang. It was a woman asking about the show in this monotone...

Monotone Caller: Kelan-yung-show-magkano-ticket...

Just hearing that made me laugh and choke on the small bit of cracker in my mouth that I had to ask the lady to hold, not just once, but twice, hahahaha!

Just when you think that a day can be oh-so-long, stuff like this happens to perk you up, hehehe.
