anyway, yesterday a funny thing happened while i was riding a jeepney going home. it has been a twice-a-week routine for us officemates to play basketball after our shift, on tuesdays and fridays. so yesterday from 6:30 - 9AM we played some hoops as if we're preparing to compete against China for the FIBA World Championships hehe. in other words, buhos talaga ang laro. and for people who play 2 and a half hours straight basketball (btw, did i mention we came from a 9-hour shift the night before with little sleep or none at all), that's tiring man. as in lawit-dila mo hanggang baba. eh nayaya pa ako to play badminton afterwards, for an extra hour. i chugged 6 gatorades all in all! bottomline, i was dead tired going home. lunch time, heat, exhaustion, traffic, PUJ ride: those are deadly combinations i tell you. i was there sitting and trying to fight off my drowsiness when all of a sudden everything went black. and silent........
next thing i know, i woke up amidst a jampacked jeep. my right hand was gripping the bar (yung kapitan sa meh bandang bubong ng jeep) so at least i know matino akong nakatulog. but here's the thing. i realized my head was resting face down on somebody else's shoulder! and you guessed it right, that somebody is a guy!!! hindi si ate guy, kundi lalake!! *@#&!^#@ naka-office attire naman, disente, pero putik, lalake!! and as with the past experiences, hindi man lang niya ako ginising or nag react man lang. parang nag enjoy pa ang mokong na nakasalampak ako sa balikat niya. com'on bro, i could have appreciated it more when you hit me in the face before my head even touched your body. with all the might i had left, i tried to stave off again my drowsiness. but then again, i am not Spartan King Leonidas. my mind is willing, but my body? oh so weak. and tired. buti na lang, naunang bumaba yung taong yun sakin. coz i've been waiting for him to do so kasi di ako makatingala sa hiya. by the time i did, i realized most of the people are staring at me. bakit naman kasi yung nag imbento ng jeepney eh ginawang harapan yung mga upuan? mali eh! maling mali!! di ba niya naisip yung mga commuters na katulad ko? na madaling makatulog? tsk tsk..
anyway, my brother was pushing me the other week to buy my own ride. he saw this mazda3 advertisement sa glorietta ata. P70,000 downpayment and monthly of xxx pesosesosesoses. kaya naman sana but the thing is, madali nga akong makatulog sa sasakyan. eh pasahero pa lang ako niyan, what more pag ako na ang may hawak ng steering wheel. so, for now, i'll stick with commuting and just be excited for my next "jeepney adventure" hehe. who knows, baka makatabi na ako ng isang papable next time! ay, chorva!!
