Round glasses why not 😅

31st at 31st!

Thank you Lord for the +1 sa edad. Hihi. Went to have ramen with friends yesterday as early celebration tas sa Alabang with bffs next weekend. Don’t feel like doing anything but to sleep. Haha. Not feeling well siguro sa pagod at dahil na ulanan na din.

Every end month na lang ata may entry ako dito. Hahahahha. Pero this is something I want to share.

Yesterday, July 29th, pumunta ako sa Parañaque kahit na kakapasok lang ng bagyong Falcon dahil nag plano talaga yung dati kong coach ng get-together namin at dahil na din aalis na siya pa ibang bansa.

So nag book ako ng grab at first pero walang nag aaccept. While waiting na may mag accept, may dumating na taxi and I chose to ride it na lang instead kasi nag mamadali na ako at mukhang katiwa-tiwala naman yung driver since may tatay vibes siya.

At first, okay naman lahat. Walang nag sasalita which is mas prefer ko when travelling. Until we reached naia rotonda (basta yung malapit pa airport pero di pa dun sa airport talaga) dun na siya nag start mag salita. Sabi lang niya nung una “buti na lang po di na naulan.” Which is sumagot ako ng “oo nga po eh” to show some respect. Then hanggang sa naging ganito na:

Driver: may payong naman po kayo ma'am?

Me: meron naman po.

Driver: buti na lang di pa naulan. Sino po ba pupuntahan niyo po?

Me: friends lang po.

Driver: ah so wala po kayong asawa po or boypren?

Me: wala po.

Driver: ay bakit po? Ang ganda niyo naman po.

Me: (hindi sumagit kasi feeling ko hahaba pa yung convo and mabilis maubos energy ko pag kumakausap ng di ko kakilala. Fact.)

Driver: ako na lang mam. Binata naman po ako. Dalaga po kayo. Okay na po iyon

Me: *napataas ang kilay* hindi po ako interesado kuya

Driver: ay bakit po?

Me: *mejo galit na tono* babae po gusto ko.

Driver: ay sayang po kayo mam. Anakan na lang po kita.

Me: ha? Hindi din po ako intersado mag anak kuya.

Driver: joke lang po ma'am. Seryoso na po kayo masyado

Me: kuya. Hindi po maganda yung biro niyo. Hindi nakakatawa at hindi nakakatuwa.

Hindi na din nag salita si kuya knowing na pikon na pikon na tono ng boses ko. Kung di lang ako malayo pa sa bababaan ko at kung familiar lang din ako sa lugar, bumaba na talaga ako kaso hindi din ako familiar at mejo nasa highway kami.

Nag bayad ako tas sinabi sa kanya “kuya, sa susunod wag po kayong mag bibiro ng ganun or kahit sabihin lang yun sa pasahero niyo po. Pwede kayong kasuhan.”

Di ko na nakuha yung plate number which is mali ko din kasi dapat talaga ay nireport ko knowing na yung binabaan ko ay may police station na malapit.

Lesson learned talaga sakin na wag ng sumagot sa mga tanong ng kahit sino lalo na kung fishing lang naman ng information.

Sobra yung nginig ko pag kababa ko ng taxi kasi kahit anong handa ko sa mga ganung scenario, nakabog pa din talaga dibdib ko.

For context, ito din yung suot ko kahapon. This was taken weeks ago. Di ko alam kung anong kabastos bastos jan.

Okay. I am planning not to open this app for a very long time but I downloaded it tonight for I want to write this moment.

I am now somewhere near the street and house where I grew up. I am currently at the third floor of the building and I can literally see the very corner of the street where I and my best childhood friends used to do “pole dancing” (not the sexy way. We just know how to climb a pole up until the very highest point and we’ll slide down and back at it again and again.)

I am all alone because my older sister went somewhere and I was given this soltitude to reminisce my past. Our past.

You know those flashbacks in the movies where they can see their younger selves and smiled at them because of how happy they were, I also have that just now. I can see my friends and I walking and talking late at night in that street like we own the whole world not knowing what future held for us.

While i’m still in that state, the night wind suddenly blew and it got me to tears. I flet happiness and sadness and loneliness all at the same time. It’s been a while since I wished and hoped that I can go back to the past and stay there because I know that that’s where and the only time I felt happy and okay. Without any care of the others. Night breeze has its own way of making you feel extra dramatic. Haha!

Anyways, i hope you all experience this kind of night too. Very nostalgic. I know it has its own term, i just don’t know what it is.

That’s it. This post may have some grammatical error. Please know that I am typing it while I am still at that state. No time to edit. Hahahaha okay. Ciao! Brb. Maybe after anither month or months or whatevs.

Brb.

Felt all the emotion available while reading this book. It’s sooo good! Preparing myself to read One Day next month or the next day but I gave myself today a rest. My eyes are not in good condition plus I have work later too.

jgh from dating my self and I relaized na it is soooo dangerous to open your tumblr in public kasi pag open ng dash mo may nag re-reblog ng nsfk entry. Hahahahahahahaha!

Nevertheless, so happy and fulfilled. Went to buy korean goods good for 1 month, finished two books, ate at coco ichibanya, and nag pahinga sa UCC.

Also, ugaliing tignan ang tag price kasi ng bayad ako ng 188 php para clip na sing laki ng limang piso 😅🤦🏻‍♀️

I need a new larger/bigger book shelf.
