Something Old

June 23, 2007 in Rambling

I was almost late for my PE class last June 19. When I finally hailed a jeepney going to school, I somehow noticed that the driver was different. When I finally got in, I found out why.

He was actually a she

While being in her jeepney, I knew what the exact fare from the place I rode to the place I’ll land: 12php [lower than .1USD]. The whole journey was so long that I slept the whole way and had difficulty in waking up when it was time to go out.

I went in again, thinking that I’m late, but it was minutes later that our professor ordered us to practice with out table tennis [that I really suck at], while someone was checking our attendance. [saved!]

The day went on with the occasional boring classes things and somewhats.

But enough about that. The thing is, it’s really a great thing that there are women drivers, kind of adds a woman’s touch to the whole driver concept, plus, women can see colors better.

Recently [June 21], while I was being a bus boy. Two asked me if they should queue to the counter even if they asked for a spaghetti, I told them they should but then the fatter man starts blabbing about the fact that in Jolibee, they were privileged and granted also something about customer accommodation.and other stuff I don’t really care about, so just to shut them up, I complied and told the temporary manager trainee [Sir. J]. After explaining to Sir. J the story, he told me that it was 1 peso short, so I went back and they obliged in giving em 1 peso.

After a moment of cleaning un-bused tables, their order is finally ready. As I serve their meals, I give the, my best smiles and my softest voice so that they won’t be afraid of me (gets everyone anytime!)

After that, he asked for my name and I complied. he replies with giving me a recommendation for a service award of some sort. I rejected the offer. I don’t like to accept offers from corrupt people

Honestly, he was wearing the corrupt look: The pot belly, the office barong and that almost bald head… I pity his companion though, somewhat thinner than him and more ’fresh’, he has a tendency to go with orders.
