PBB Ghana Edition

It's only been a week and a half and I've witnessed so much drama here at the staff house. I suppose I should introduce the Dramatis Personae along with
whatever dirt I can dish. Hahah. Here goes:

Senior HR & Training Manager. House Mother. Bitch in sheep's clothing if you ask me but someone I've kind of clung to right from the start. She
has outbursts during meetings, especially when people are ganging up on her on when her ideas are being struck down.

Program Manager. Mataray na bading. During my 1st morning here, all I ever heard from him was expletives every other word. Kind of reminds me of me
but has gay friends I don't like. He drinks almost every night and is somewhat the Alpha (Gay) Male in the house. I heard he's known Liana 15 years now and
was that she was his GF at some point. Ewww.

Training Supervisor, A's friend from Davao. Not much to say about her except that she reminds me a lot of Virgie the way she talks and jokes around
with a little less bitchiness as Virgie. She's just as diminutive and quirky as her.

QA Supervisor, a former officemate of Oliver (a closet case from Perot). She's the only person in the house who had the guts to ask me straight out
if I were gay. Typical OC QA person, quiet but deadly.

Operations Manager. Typical Call Center Bitch, hahah. She has a sharp tongue and the metabolism of someone who either has alligators in her
intestine or has hyperthyroidism. Thin as a reed with an appetite of a karpintero. I find it strange that Nick dotes on her a lot. No one's said it out
loud but she's on her way out and has no plans of coming back here when she comes home to Manila this December. She seems amiable enough to me, something
she doesn't display enough to anyone who's position is lower than hers.

Finance Director. Old-school gay and the epitome of what I think is wrong with Pinoys. He wants everyone to be friends. He wants everything to be
harmonious at work AND at home. He finds a lot to complain about and it just irritates the hell out of me. He's old school gay because he's sponsoring a
lot of poor straight guys at work who are just after his money. It's a disgrace not just to gays but to Filipinos in general.

IT Manager. Ringleader of the IT boys. He's chinese and I think there's something wrong with one of his eyes (something like Randy Santiago's) but
he's sharp as hell with all women at work. Being light-skinned here does wonders I tell you.

IT Analyst. Cute as hell but taken. He's the all-around good guy but isn't around the house much cos he has a GF who works somewhere here in Ghana
and hangs around with her a lot.

IT Analyst and yes-man to Kati. He follows her like her shadow. Goes to work same time as she does. Comes home same time as she does. Does
groceries with her. Of course he sleeps in the same room as she does.

Supervisor, reports to me. I just found out today that she's Louie's mistress cos the guy has a wife back at home. Both her and Louie have 2 kids
each from their respective spouses. She's estranged from her husband though. Typical Call Center Industry marital arrangement if you ask me. Hahah.

Supervisor, reports to me, too. For reasons he can't remember, he also knows Oliver. Another good guy, seems to have the patience of Job and a
wholesome attitude you'll find in people who always sees the glass as half-full. You'll always see him smiling and epitomizes the phrase "walang masamang
tinapay."

Only Liana and Donna have added me in Facebook so far but you can see them here on our Sunday night out: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=43267&l=69cbe&id=657487053

I've learned only recently that most of the people here at home have been speculating about sexuality. It was only Myra who was gutsy enough to ask me up front, I simply said I'M GAY. People here have been bugging her since because they were the ones who asked her to confront me to begin with. It's so funny the everyone's been dropping hints when I'm around and talking about homosexuality and hotdogs and being out even if it's not part of the conversation. Hay, mga Pinoy talaga...

More to come soon.
