IN RANDOM VIEWS of a city-bred and a promdi.

Some hilarious THRILL(anes)S that happened to my family and me et.al. this Nov. 29, 2007 in chronological order:

AT HOME

At 4PM I receive a text msg from my sis:
Are you watching? Mag-kaka-coup d’etat na!

I got tensed.  I went downstairs and told my parents:
Ma,
Da… mag coup coup d’etat na sabi ni Chap! Paano na dinner natin sa
Super Bowl?!? (Ngayon lang kasi kami makapag-didinner na kumpleto as a
family)

Daddy responds:
Walang coup d’etat! ‘Yang si Chap naman e… wala namang sumusunod sa kanila Trillanes at Guingona e! Mga pampagulo.

After taking a bath and dressing up:
Ma, Da, Nick… Tara na, mag-dinner na tayo!!! (But all of them watching TV)

Secretary Puno on TV says:
May curfew na
tayo… no carrying of firearms - licensed or otherwise… If caught
with firearms, they will be apprehended for questioning…

I got tensed again:
Paano na dinner natin.. may curfew na pala!
Itong sila Guingona naman kasi e! Pa-uprising-uprising pa kasi e! Wala namang nangyari!

Then words flash on TV screen:
CURFEW STARTS 12 MN. TO 5AM

I said:
Ah okay, pwede pa tayo mag-dinner.

DINNER AT SUPERBOWL, TRINOMA

At the reception.  I told the waiter:
Table for 4 please

We were told to pick seats.  It was 8:10 pm in my watch.

Waiter handed the menu.

Daddy: Wow. Gusto ko yung pancit.
Me: Ah I’ll order the Fillet O’Fish… naitikman ko na masarap.

Then the waiter cuts…
Waiter: Sir, Ma’am… may 9pm po tayo na curfew.  Okay lang po kung hanggang 8.45pm lang po sila kakain?

Pissed me: Ha?!?
Daddy: 12 MN pa ang curfew! (to the waiter)

Waiter responds:
Yes sir, but we received a memo from the management ng mall… all restaurants will close at 9pm.
Mommy: O cge bilisin na natin.

I ordered like superman faster than a speeding bullet:
Ok… ahhh.. (skimming… like cramming on a case)…..
Yang Chow Fried Rice, Hot Tea.. yung free. House water na kami
My brother Nick: Pero ako Coke.
I continue: Ahhhhh… yung tofu with mushroom. Pancit. Soup of the Day, Egg Drop Soup.
My brother: Pero ako Garlic Rice.

Waiter repeats our order.

Then serves the food.

After few minutes of eating, they forgot 1 viand… which we also forgot… the fillet! (The most delicious pa naman!!! harghhh ).

Me: Waiter! Waiter! May nakalimutan yung fillet!
Waiter: Ah okay ma’am.

Waiter comes back: Ma’am lulutuin pa ma’am.
Pissed me: Hargghhhh. O cge cge! Pakibilisan.
Waiter shouts towards the kitchen: Fillet O’Fish … in advance please!

Fillet O’Fish arrives when all the food including the rice were all almost eaten na.

Then Chap, my sis working at ABS-CBN arrives from work.  She didn’t eat anymore.

IN THE CAR ON OUR WAY HOME
