As I Ponder

Three days ago, I went to the mall to pay half of my barkada's will-be lodging expense for our outing at Puerto Galera a week from now. Well, it was my first time to do it. I mean, to pay something off via a savings account. So when I was actually able to fill up the slip, there was a feeling of satisfaction on my part. I was like, "Yey, Jam you did it without really looking like an idiot copying the woman in shades beside you."

And so I went in line, siyempre with the help of Manong guard. I didn't wanna find myself naman standing desperately and falling in a line meant for something else. Haha. Then, I realized the line was just so long. Oh God! I would have to admit that I am an impatient creature experiencing itchy feet soles whenever I have to wait for my turn. Nevertheless, I waited, waited and waited even more as I created little tales in my head about the people who were present.

I also counted. Well, I think I always count. I remember a time when I usually spent my afternoons at a friend's house with friends and walked home after with them. You know when people say "Masarap maglakad kung may kasama ka." Yea yea, true. But when you walk along with the same people whom you already spent your afternoons with, I think you'll get tired of it too. So when I reached that saturation point, I found myself wanting to be alone on the other side of the street and counting my footsteps quietly 'til I got home. Weird.

Going back, I counted the people who were ahead of me. At last, after 45 minutes of waiting, the number went down to five-four-three-two-Oops! No, three! Suddenly there was an old woman who suavely got her way up to the front and acted as if she was in line and as if she did nothing but normal. Galing eh! She barely even waited for a minute! Sin verguenza muchoo! Grr! And so I was bummed. I felt like really wanting to reprimand her about what she did when she passes by me but I immediately dismissed the, I must say, ingenious idea, just because I thought, "as if naman," with a shrug. Matanda na kasi eh, kaya mahirap. And also, I did not want to make a fuss about it but such instances really strain my nerves. Everytime I encounter injustices of this kind, it feels like there's a compelling reason to react. Injustices talaga eh! Haha pero seriously, 'eto talaga yung mga kapal moments na nakakairita.

Well, this is just one of my shallow thoughts I feel like sharing.
