Coffee: Authors' Descriptions

For the author's descriptions, each of the founders were given the freedom to choose an English word that will describe them. According to Airah Luy, she is zealous--full of passion and all. Cris Bautista believes she is a cheerful person. EK Encarnacion says he is sarcastic most of the time. Simple is what Erick Fontanilla came up with that best describes him. And finally, Hanna Gomez chose huggable as one of her descriptions.


Medyo challenging naman ang naging set ng adjectives as bawat isa ay binigyan ng chance upang magsabi ng isang description para sa isang tao. Sa dulo, bibigyan ng karapatan ang taong iyon na mamili ng description na gusto niyang mailagay sa tabi ng pangalan niya. Sa mga choices ni Airah Luy, pinili niya ang binigay ni EK Encarnacion na "may tililing" yamang siya ay likas na mapagbiro at kadalasan ay eccentric. Pinili rin ni Cris Bautista ang "ambisyosa" na binigay ni EK Encarnacion dahil sa katangian niyang maging futuristic mag-isip most of the time. Pinili ni EK Encarnacion ang "gala" na sinabi ni Erick Fontanilla ngunit pinalitan ito ng "kaladkarin" na mas akmang description niya. Si Erick ay napagkasunduan ng buong grupo na "may T". Ang T ay nangangahulugang "tamad" na siya namang salitang-ugat ng katamaran--"may kaTamaran" na tinanggap naman ng buong puso ni Erick. Naging madali naman ang kay Hanna dahil agad na sinabi ni Erick na siya ay "sumpungin". "may S" ang napiling description kay Hanna yamang ito ay malapit sa "may T" ni Erick na kanyang boyfriend.


For the final one word descriptions, everyone decided to provide descriptions that end with -er. Cris Bautista was considered a feeler for sometimes being too assuming. Shock-absorber was chosen for EK Encarnacion as he becomes too numb most of the time. Erick Fontanilla was considered a risk-taker for trying out new things while Hanna Gomez was quoted to be a care-giver to counteract Erick Fontanilla's aggressive attitude. Airah Luy insisted that she wants to be described as quaint. But since the rule says that all words end in -er, the team merely added -er to quaint thus forming quainter, which in the end really makes no sense... but then who cares?


Lastly, all authors were forced to provide something fresh about them. Airah Luy was described as "paulit-ulit? unlimited paulit-ulit?" dahil sa kanyang kadaldalan at paulit-ulit na pag-iinsist sa mga bagay-bagay. "Dating umii-spaghetti" ang description ni Cris Bautista dahil dati pala siyang cheerleader. "Agad-agad?" naman ang napili kay EK Encarnacion dahil kadalasan siyang assuming at inu-unahan ang mga bagay-bagay before things are actually said and, often, done. Si Erick Fontanilla ay sinabihang "laking bonakid" bilang sarcasm sa kanyang pagiging payatot. Sa pagtatapos, napagkasunduang si Hanna ay "dating underweight, ngayon heavyweight" because she was skinny then.
