It was a Saturday...

My Saturday started out pretty normal. I was not able to go to the derma though. Well… I was supposed to go to a party that night. Kwey and Denise planned this triple birthday bash for Joph, Macoy, and their friend Bim. I actually helped them look for a place. I also designed their magazine cover Birthday card. The thing is one horrible thing happened before I was about to go to the party.

There is this block rosary thing in our village. Well it was scheduled to leave our house last Saturday. We did not know that A LOT of our neighbors would come to our house to get it coz when it came to our house, there were only three people who came and we prepared a lot of food. Anyway, they all came 15 minutes before 8pm, almost dinner time. I was still in the bathroom, taking a bath, when I heard our doorbell ring. They all entered out house immediately. I could not go to my room to dress up coz they will all see me virtually naked! My helper and I had this long discussion on what to do. Finally, she figured that she would just get me some clothes. So I went out the shower wearing a pink collared shirt and short brown shorts. My hair was very wet. BASANG SISIW look. They were all staring at me! I casually went down and lead the farewell prayer for Mary. After that, they told me at I had to bring the Statue to the next house. I called my helper and then this sungit lady said “ikaw dapat ang magdadala nyan.” Fine ok if that’s what you want! My gosh! Thanx for being super sungit and angas! You didn’t even realize that you guys came at a very bad time in the first place. I was freakin’ taking a bath and you guys come intruding my private space! And you guys even have the guts to be super angas! Damn! Not yet done though. We went to the next house and all the lights were closed. They still insisted on ringing the doorbell. The helper was the only one in the house so one of them led the prayer. After the prayer, they had the guts to make cruel remarks such as:

Kawawa naman si Mama Mary, wala na nga tao sa pinanggalingan, wala pag tao sa pinuntahan. (Uh… the statue came from my house. I’m a homeowner. Hindi ako tao?)

Last week nga birthday nya eh ni hindi man lang sha nadasalan. Sana sa bahay ko na lang! (Um… ok… so sana hindi nyo na nililipat ng house diba? Augh!!!)

And they said those in front of me!!! Hay nako.. That’s why I don’t go out of the house eh… Anyway enough said….

So there... I ran towards my house, ate dinner, then thought on whether I would go to the party or not. My mom kept on telling me to go. Actually, she was almost driving me out of the house. But then due to the earlier incident plus Ateneo lost to NU plus my gigantic issues with myself, I decided not to go. Anyway, Happy Birthday to Joph and Macoy!!! And Timmy! And Bim na din ;)
