iced tea na walang ice atbp…

may bigla lang akong naisip…teka!

kanina bumaba ako para bumili ng kape sa canteen…nakasabay ko ang isang babae na bumibili ng iced tea, pero may isa syang request: yung walang ice.

baket nga naman ang isang tao ay minsan walang katuturan kausap? baket? ewan. kasi ako minsan (hindi madalas pala) wala ring katuturan…

isa yan sa misteryo ng araw-araw na pamumuhay ng isang Pinoy: ang magrequest ng isang bagay na, minsan, sadya namang nakakawala ng ulirat! tumpak!

mahilig kasi tayo sa misteryo…kaya kadalasan misteryo rin ang ating nababanggit. gaya na lang ng paghiling sa isang ng sales lady ng high heels na hindi mataas ang takong! tama ba naman yun? O kaya ng sleeveless na may konting manggas…siguro sadyang palabiro lang tayo o sadyang hindi natin naiintindihan ang pinagsasabi natin.

pero kung sisipatin nating maigi, iisa lang ang hinihiling nila: konting pang-unawa (ano luisa? paano naman napunta ang usapan ng pang-unawa dito?!?). unawain natin sila na baka masakit lang ang hinlalaki ng paa nila kaya sila ganun. o kaya may lagnat ang aso nila. kanya kanyang dahilan para sa kanya kanyang diskarte ng pananalita at pakikipag-usap.

at bago pa mauwi sa Africa ang usapang ito, tagay muna dyan!

Katapusan na…

katapusan na!

at least the hectic week was over.

that one was highlighted by the coming home of Scout to our home in India Street…and for that, I wasn't able to come to office (much to my delight) for 2 days. but reality has to step in and told me I need to get back to work or else I'd be like our new-found puppy who scavenges food from the guard house. Amp! I, and I was forced, took back the baby to my parents (much to the delight of my father) yesterday. And so the week was over…I have a month-ender entry…and my back aches like hell! That last one was courtesy of my daughter who doesn't want to be put down and who doesn't want to go to any other person in the India house other than me. hay!

Scout knows a few words already, some of which are Mama (that's either me or her granma), Baba, Tata (her tatay), Yoko, and Bak (which refers to my bag). He he…

what else?

oh the anniversary! we were 1 year married last Saturday! yup! and so, 1 year it was! happy! but we never really celebrated that day. we were more into the Nov. 22 thing. Last Saturday was just the civil wedding day. nothing more. the Day was November 22! Tama!

And so I am here at the office…I was asking Athan if I could take a leave today. he said NO. so i am here. darn!

anyways, so much for this!

Katapusan na!!!

Birthday month ko na starting bukas…maybe i should be on a leave or something….la la la la la la…
