Buterfloo Effect

Grabe ang aking na-experience kagabi. So may hangover pa ako at super wasak pa kahit na may duty ako ng 10pm-6am. 6:30 am na kasi kami naka-uwi after gumimik tapos hindi pa ako nakatulog nang maayos. Nung gabi na, 8pm ako dapat aalis para di ako ma-late sabay biglang ulan nang malakas tapos grabe nga ung kidlat.

Nung pag-baba ko sa Zapote, super baha na kulay black and amoy poopoo. Tumapak ako sa kaisa-isang elevated na "island" na may drainage na ipis ang lumalabas instead of kanal water. KADIRI! Kaya ayun! Umiiwas ako sa sangkatutak na ipis na lumilipad, gumagapang at kumakapit sa unwary victims at sa water na yuckness talaga. Buti na lang may jeep na papuntang Imus na nakatigil lang kaya umusog lang sya ng onti para wala sya sa baha tapos pina-sakay nya ako. E di solb na. No more ipis and flood.

Habang umaandar, medyo bumagal nang bahagya sa isang portion malapit sa isang palengke. Biglang umalingasaw ang napaka-sangsang na amoy ng mas matindi pang baha. This time nag-sanib pwersa na ang amoy ng kataehan at basura. So, na-yuckness talaga ako. Ung bata pa sa harap ko enjoy ever sa pag-sabi ng "Ambahu! Ambahu!" habang naka-nganga. Nalanghap na nya ang ka-sukang yuckness ng hangin. Tawa na lang ako habang naka-takip ng panyo na nilagyan ko ng duct tape across my face para di maalis.

At dahil nga di na ako maka-recover kakatawa dahil dun sa batang na-mention ko, habang nagtititili sya ng "Ambahu!" may sumakay na teenage cute straight gay guy. Ay sya! Naka-XXXXXS na shirt, pekpek shorts at shoulder bag! Tapos ang mas kapansin-pansin ay ang kanyang headgear. Mas malaki pa sa libro ko ung butterfly nyang kulay yellowgreen na naka-ipit sa headband nya of the same color. Na-windang ako! Naisip ko "Oh gosh! May sayaw ba itech?"

Habang yumuyugyog ang jeep at nag-rereview ako, sumasabay naman ang pag-pagaspas ng kanyang paru-parong ayaw tantanan ang face ko. Inalis nya ang kanyang matching butterfly dahil sinabi nung katabi kong hotness na "Iho. baka mamatay ang butterloo mo." Pero ayaw talaga paawat ni kuya at ikinabit uli ang kanyang accessory sa ulo! Suskupo! Na-sandwhich ako ng dalawa na nag-tititigan at tumatawa kada kumpas ng butterfly! Ang mga kasakay ko sa jeep ay nakitawa na din.

Ako naman ay nakatakip ang ilong dahil ang bata ay sumisigaw pa rin ng "Ambahu!" at masangsang pa rin ang kapaligiran. Idagdag na rin sa kadahilanan ang fact na gusto ko nang tumawa ng sobrang lakas sa diri. Yuckness talaga! Nilanghap nila ang baho ng masamang weather!

Bingi pa si mamang driver. Kailangan mong mag-para ng paulit-ulit hangang sa magmistulan kang si Parasect kakasabi ng PARA! PARA! PARA! Putangina talaga!

Buti nung pababa na ako, tumigil sya kasi may sasakay. Ay sus! lumundag ako pababa ng jeep. Sumabit ba ung libro ko sa paru-paro ni kuya! naku naman talaga!

After Poldy Class

It was Friday night, and I'm on my way home after our poldy class. The whole trip home was running smoothly, Quiapo is unbelievably traffic congestion-free! (Well go figure, its like 15 minutes past 9 o'clock in the evening so the traffic's supposed to be light) I was kind of happy and thankful because the week's about to end and I'm looking forward for the rest sunday's going to give me when, I realized we were slowing down, and yes you got it... traffic

I didn't mind much though, I wasn't in that much of a hurry to go home. Bible Study's almost done so I can't catch up and I wasn't going to meet anyone. I just kept to my seat, and observing people's idiosyncrasies.

I was at the intersection of Taft and Pedro Gil that time, the road near Robinson's Place Ermita.

My trip was delayed for about 10 minutes or so when we were on our way again. I didn't mind the delay that much but after we passed the intersection and saw the reason for the congestion, that I laughed at myself.

But before that, a little segue if you won't mind :D

People who have cars or who drive know that it's stupid to stay behind a jeepney especially if they're near a loading area, especially if it's near a mall or waiting shed. Why? Because the drivers would wait for passengers at that area not minding the cars behind them.

Well, the reason for this one WAS some kind of like that... As we passed the gas station near at the Pedro Gil-Taft intersection I saw the jeep that was the primary cause of the build-up. The jeep's a 12-seater, it was not fully painted yet it had the shiny silver finish that mostly belong to the newly bought or made jeeps and it only had 3 passengers . It was almost crawling because I saw the driver staring at his rear-view mirror as if he was waiting for passengers to board...

He wasn't....

I saw what he really was 'intently' viewing at the back. There was a couple behind but I didn't see them clearly, the woman was wearing a white uniform, I think she was a nursing somewhere near the place, while the guy wore civies, I think he is also a student because he didn't look that much old, I think he was at his early twenties.

This supposed couple, who has the drivers FULL attention, was busily smooching...

I shook my head, couldn't believe that THIS was the reason why we were delayed. A couple who couldn't keep their hands of each other long enough to get a room and a driver who can't keep his eyes off the rear-view mirror to notice the people who were waiting BEHIND him.

Now that's the power of hormones people!!!!!!!

Anyway, I reached home with no further incidents(thankfully)...

My lesbian jeepney trip

There was this lesbian couple in the jeep in was riding on, I just minded my own business because I was kind of dozing on and off during the ride. Whenever I would wake up from my nap I would see the two just talking and teasing each other... It was when the jeep was nearing my stop when things went from tease to shall I say a little action.

It happened at Buendia, just after the turn from the corner of Taft. I just woke from my daze with my left arm clinging on to the railings and was partly covering my sight of the two (btw they were seated directly in front of me), the vision was blocked at the point where I was only seeing their bodies and the neck of the one of the women who was wearing a red t-shirt or blouse.

The two were teasing each other as usual, the butch was wearing a white polo of some school, he was teasing the femme verbally (I wasn't able to hear the butch because I was that sleepy, as if I would willingly listen to the exchange). My head was kind of heavy that time, because I was on my way home from school.

For a while my head slipped from my arms and the couple was hidden from my sight for a while, when I shifted my head back into my clinging arm, I saw that the two changed their sitting position, they were now close enough to actually kiss.

Then there was silence... the couple suddenly stopped talking out loud...
My head slipped again blocking my sight of the two.

I felt that I was nearing my stop so I opened my eyes to see where I was, it was then that I saw the two were french kissing in front of me. I didn't really care with what was happening, so I was going to shift my eyes elsewhere when I saw the femme, staring at me while they were busy.

She gave me a mocking look, like "wala kang ganito no? mamatay ka sa inggit!" look. I just replied with a stare.

They were still kissing when I went down from the jeep.

The funny thing was when I was nearing our gate I saw another lesbian couple again walking past me.
