nakaka-lerki ka uncle!

Yesterday morning, hinatid ko si Red to work. Sumakay kame ng taxi na ang driver ay medyo may katandaan na. The travel in general was fine, medyo traffic ng konti, so we anticipated na mala-late si Red ng few minutes. So overall, nothing peculiar that morning.

...Not until dumating na kame sa destination...

Nung pababa na si Red ng taxi, she kissed me good bye sa cheeks. Aba, itong si uncle, napasigaw...

Old Uncle: "haaaayoo..." (typical Singapore expression...hehehe)
Red: "Why, uncle?"
Me: (natatawa sa expression ni uncle...pasalamat ka nga uncle, sa cheeks lang! pano pa kaya kung sa lips?!?! baka atakihin ka na sa puso??)
Old Uncle: "Two girls can kiss ah??"
Me: "hahaha... yes, uncle, it's normal. it's just in the cheeks. we're friends lah"
Red: (natatawa na lang din habang pababa)

Naiwan ako sa taxi. At habang palabas na kame ni Uncle sa compound...

Old Uncle: "you girlfriends?"
(intrigero ka uncle ah)
Me: "No uncle, we're just friends"
(friends nga ba tyo, Red???)
Old Uncle: "is your friend married?"
Me: "No uncle, why?"
Old Uncle: "Ah, I want to marry her"
('nak ng tokwa ka uncle! balak mo pa akong agawan?!? kaya ka pala tingin ng tingin sa likod! at talagang "marry" agad ah...)
Me: "Ah, but she's already taken uncle."
(hahaha... binakuran ko agad???)
Old Uncle: "Because my wife passed already. 4 years now."
Me: "Ah, sorry to hear that uncle"
Old Uncle: "Do you have any other friends?"
Me: "friends? who would want to marry you, uncle?"
Old Uncle: "Yes"
Me: "No uncle."
(madami akong friends na single, uncle, pro I don't think they'll want to marry you! hehehe...)
Old Uncle: "How about you? Are you married?"
(tokwa... mukhang desperado si uncle, pati ako pinag-i-interasan na...)
Me: "Yes, uncle, I'm already married!"
(bwaaaaahahaha... biglang married na ako??? hahahaha)

Few minutes later, bumaba na ako ng cab. 'Nak ng tokwa itong si uncle. Di kinaya ng powers ko ang mga hirit...

Parang nag-a-alangan na tuloy akong mag-cab ulit. hahaha... :P
