Someday, I Just Know

While answering the exercises I prepared for him in anticipation for his final exam.

Boz: Magdako na ko bala, tagaan ko bala ni Emily Raine (classmate) sang t-shirt na Power Rangers. (When I grow up, Emily Raine will give me a Power Rangers t-shirt)

Mama: Tuod ka? Amo na siling ya? (Really? That's what she said?)

Boz: Hambalon ko pa siya. (I plan to tell her that)

Forward looking!

Open Wounds that Needed Healing

I feel your pain. I have been disappointed for quite sometime now. But despite the restless thoughts, I am still here, and I guess that is the bigger disappointment.

What with not knowing what is expected of you until you are told that you failed

What with getting reprimanded for the indecisions of others.

What with the constant drive of making things better and still feel inadequate at the end of the day.

What with being weighed, measured and still found wanting

What with the lack of affirmation for the four jobs well done but obsession over that one mistake

What with putting up a brave face despite the crushed spirit.

It’s not a hopeless case but a deplorable condition.

Watching Chicken Run

While Watching Chicken Run on Studio 23...

The scene: A hen was grabbed by the neck and brought to a shack. Mrs. Tweedy opened the door to reveal an axe on a slab of wood. She lifted the axe and closed the door.

Boz: napatay ang chicken, mama? (Did the chicken die, mama?)

Uneasy silence…

Mama: nag-ubra sila chicken pie. (They made chicken pie)

Boz: nag-ubra sila chicken pie? Kakaon na ko bala sang chicken pie. Namit na sa no? (They made chicken pie? I’ve eaten chicken pie. Taste good, no?)

Man of Means

The hubby told me of this story of a guy who wanted to leave his house to go to the hospital. Unfortunate for him, two cars of medical representatives were parked on his driveway. Being a man of means, he did not wait long for a solution to his problem.

Within minutes after a phone call was made, a truck carrying loads of men were already at his driveway. Following instructions, the men carried the cars and placed them right in the middle of the street making it impassable.

The man of means then left his house, made his way to the hospital and got even. For the two med reps, they shall never again park on that driveway, not after having to pay a heavy fine from LTO for obstruction and causing traffic.
