A close encounter with the third Kind (or not)I will share to you a tale that happened to me not more than an hour ago. This one is true! I tell you... this experience is very weird for me that up until now, my hands are still shaking. I don't know how to start my story cause my mind is still processing what the hell had just happened a while ago.
We (Rox, Kaye, Boaks, Luv, Danilo) were at Kaye's "house", after watching TV and eating some "dinner" (kutsinta, mango) they decided to go back to UP because of the curfew. I bid goodbye to them in the overpass cause I will go to my Kuya's condo in Cubao so, I'll be taking the opposite way. Heck, when I got tired of waiting for a jeepney in Katipunan, I decided to walk na lang to Cubao-Anonas. I walked passed ADMU, Prince David, etc. I reached the LRT station and saw Kuya Hadee and Kuya Polinar. They did'nt notice me so I just walked pass them. Not so far from the LRT station, I saw a guy (an effeminate one) wearing a white sando shirt, blue "mosiac-ish" (for the lack of the term) pants, and black sandals. He is the type of an ARTISTIC guy. He was glancing at my direction, I thought he was looking towards someone else at my back so I did'nt bother. But when I passed right beside him, he was still looking towards me. Now, I was sure I was the one! He then started a conversation with me:
(Forgive me, these is a not-so-accurate convo, it's just as far as my mind can remember)
GUY: Excuse me? San ka ba nag-aaral? (he's tone was a bit friendly and professional...basta, parang pang mga taga-showbiz gud... No one would'nt tell that he was a fake or what! basta!)
ME: Sa UP po.
GUY: Taga-dito ka ba?
ME: Hindi po.
GUY: Tagasaan ka?
ME: Sa Cebu po(I lied!naisip ko bka isipin niyang tanga ako kasi taga.Mindanao)
GUY: Ohw.
ME: (*nahiya akong mag-lie) Uhm, pero taga-Mindanao po ako dati.
GUY: Ah..so you're a Muslim?
ME: Ahahaha...hindi po...Christian po.
GUY: ohw, OK.
Then, he motioned to walk...
GUY: Anong year mo na?
ME: Ummm...mgafrefreshmen pa po...
GUY: Ah, OK! ganito kasi, I'm a blahblahblah (something about that he was a talent manager daw na me gagawing ad for NokiaNseries)
GUY: Alam mo ba yung mga 3G-capable phones?
ME: Ah, Opo opo!
GUY: Well, kasi, I'm making this ad and yung isang talent namin, biglang nagback-out.Hindi ko lam kung saan na. And naghihintay na yung ibang mga talent ko sa Ali (i'm not sure with the spelling) Mall sa Mcdo. Nagmamadali talaga ako, Kung hindi to matutuloy, 900thousand ang babayaran ko.
ME Oh, OK. (I was like, what the f***?!)
GUY: And yung mga talents namen will have a 4000 load and 5000 cash. They can also trade-in their phones for a Nokia N-series na phone. Um, pede ka ba maging talent?
ME: (what?!) walang akong sinagot.
GUY: Dont worry, hindi talaga akong masamang tao.
ME: (He was very convincing!PArang tanga talagha ako! ewan! totoo man cguro xa. ewan jud!) So, I was like...err, OK?
GUY: OK, sige sige good... kasi, maawa ka sa akin, babayaran ko sila ng 900K blabla.
ME: (I was like, OK whatever!...) (kulbaan na jud ayu ko)
GUY: Dont worry, it will just take 5-20 minutes lang. You'll be one of the crowd lang. By the way, do you have a phone? kasi dapat phone user ka kung sasali ka. Kasi bibigyan kayu ng load..(etc, etc)
ME: Ah, opo! opo!
GUY: Eh, ano bang unit ng phone mo?
ME: Ay,hindi ko po alam eh (Which is ture...I was unaware!)
GUY: O sige, i-describe mo na lang..
ME: Diniscribe ko ung phone ko.
GUY: Wag kang matakot, O, hawakan mo pa ang phone ko... Mabait akong tao (he motioned to give me his cell)
ME: Ay, wag na po. Ay, naiwan ko po sa bahay yung cell ko (I lied!)
GUY: Alam mo, nakakainsulto ka...(Akala ko, casual lang ang pagsabi niya, hindi siya galit... pero galit na pala siya.. na hurt daw feelings niya. kasi wala daw siyang ginagawang masama sa akin tapos heto ako, not putting trust on him)
ME: Ay, sorry po...sorry po..
***This time, natakot na talaga ako. Pramis! Nagsisi talaga ako kung bakit ko siya inintertain.
***He continued to talk...but di ko na maxadong maalala...
ME: Uhm, hindi po ako sure na makakasama ako eh, kasi, hinihintay ako ng kasama ko sa Araneta. Ung kuya ko, baka pagalitan ako. (*I lied...again!)
GUY: What?! Hindi ka pala sure? Para akong tanga. You made me walk from there to here... Hidi ka pala sure?
ME: ay, sorry po..sorry po talaga.
GUY: sana sinabi mo na lang na hindi ka pwede.
ME: Uy, sorry po. sorry po. Sasakay na po ako ng jeep.
GUY: Sang school ka ba?
ME: Sa UP po.
GUY: Anong course mo? (proffesional tone pa rin to ha... yung tipong pang-showbiz)
ME: Bio po. (natakot na akong maglie)
GUY: Alam mo bang taga-UP ako?
ME: ***i dont know what to answer...
GUY: Pupuntahan kita sa UP...hahanapin kita.
ME: sige po...soory po talaga (Sumakay ako ng kahit anong jeep..hindi ko na alam, hindi ako tumingin sa kanya. grabe! di ko talaga alam ang dapat ireact)
Actually, ang lapit-lapit na ng condo ng kuya ko...Sumakay lang ako ng jeep para makaalis dun sa guy na yun. Tas nahihiya ako sa jeep na bababa agad, so pinalampas ko ng konti ang jeep tas bumababa na ako. Nanginginig ang kamay at tuhod ko!
If it were
TRUE: Im very very sorry sa guy na yun. Sana mapatawad niya ako na inabala ko pa siya! Tanga ako! I feel very sory for him. Gago talaga ako. SORRY.sorry.sorry.
If the whole shit was a
FAKE: GAGO KANG BAYUTA KA?!?!?! utuon pa jud ko nimu? Sana, pagsakay ko ng jeep, nasagasaan siya ng truck tas mapunta siya sa impyerno at dun i-pupunish siya. nakahubad siya, tapos, nakaopen ang legs tas forever labas-pasok ang NOKIA N-series na phone sa kanyang puwet. Nagavibrate dapat ang phone tas kasing laki ng truck ang Nokia na yun.
Ayoko na dito! Gusto na ko muuli...
