This is what transpired 20 minutes ago:
RING RING
"Sir ansarap ng pagkain. Dinuguan, pancit, at puto pao"
"Di ako gutom!"
"Sir minsan lang to, forget mo muna diet mo"
"Ayoko!" I went down to the pantry to "greet lani"
I knew it. It was a trap. A conspiracy to lead me astray.
I fought back.
But caught a whiff of the dinuguan.
I said "no. i will not be swayed"
I saw a tiny orange shrimp on the pancit.
I said "the Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want!"
I saw the itlog na pula on the puto pao.
PATAY TAYO DIYAN.
...
My First Serving:
1 Puto Pao
1 cup dinuguan
1 Serving Pancit
I fell. I fell into the hands of the enemy. But I told myself, mistakes will be committed along the way. That's okay. What's more important is that you do not commit the same mistake.
"sir"
I turned.
"o."
"sir meron pa po. kuha pa kayo."
"k."
My second serving:
1 Puto Pao
1 cup dinuguan
1 Serving Pancit
Damnit. Now I really have to play basketball tonight. Either that or I help out the construction workers working on the new warehouses across the street.
Basketball nalang.
To Lani, happy birthday. Remind me to take a leave next year on you birthday.
Ciao.
