SCREWED
Earlier tonight, I was walking inside the terminal where I usually catch a ride home, when I saw this certain pizza stall that showed in its full glory its pizzas. (Fine, its a Greenwich pizza place, ad I'm a asucker for pizzas). Upon seeing it, impulse immediately sprung up. But then, 2 things hindered me from taking action. One was I just ate a hearty dinner at KFC, and that I was trying to save more money. As I was having a dilemma then and there, I asked the man inside how much. Here is the transcript of the sequence:
self: magkano po?
man: *35*, two slices.
(self walks away and counts extra money. afterwards)
self: sige po isang order. (man gets the 2 slices, and then):
man: *45* pesos lang sir (with matching cash register "ka-ching" sound).
self: kala ko 35??
man: 45 ho sir sabi ko.
Here's the thing. I wouldn't have minded spending MORE than what I THOUGHT I heard. Its just that:
1.) I actually spent a lot more than what I wanted, therefore running out of funds, and the thing is I have classes until SATURDAY EVENING. And,
2.) If the guy actually served pizzas HOT. That was the coldest pizza I've had in recent times. (I've had colder ones, but that was a long time ago, therefore its beside the point).
As I was still fuming from what happened at that stupid pizza store or whatever, I settled myself with a good window-view seat on the bus. I would've been fine, if only the curtain that doubles as sun visor (that was as filthy as a rug full of oil, grease, dust and other earthly stuff rolled into one) had actually stayed in place. Since obviously it didn't, the thing fell squarely on my head, well, face actually, but then, whatever. Together with all the stuff the curtain came with.
These series of incidents topped ANOTHER mediocre afternoon-night. I've had mediocre afternoons before, but this one ranks up there, for sure.
Welcome to my life.
Peace out!
