"Did you know that Mexican cuisine is a fusion of different native cooking with European and Spanish origins?" tanong ni Zeke habang nagda-drive.
Umiling ako dito.
Wala naman talaga akong alam sa pagkain or different cuisine kundi ang, well iyon nga ang kumain. Hindi ko naman pinangarap ang maging chef. Importante pasok sa panlasa ko at walang lason ang kinakain ko, hahaha.
Pero ayos na din 'tong pag-oorient niya sakin sa Mexican cuisine, at least, food for the brain hehehe.
"Well, I'm pretty sure that you have at least an idea that Mexico is a multi-ethnic country, right?" baling nito sakin.
Tumango naman ako. "Yup. If I am not mistaken, after achieving their independence from the Spanish Empire in the year 1821, this led to a multi-ethnic nationalism that although their most spoken language is Mexican Spanish, some people can speak other languages from different—"
Nakita kong napakunot noo ito kaya napatigil ako sa pagsasalita. "What?"
He seems to ponder what I just said, tapos napangiti na ng tuluyan. "You're from the Philippines, right? Basically, an Asian?"
Tumaas ang kilay ko sa sinabi niya. "Yes? So what's the problem with me being an Asian?"
Don’t say may sa racist ito, wag naman sana. I was hoping that he’s SUPER NICE. Kasi di ba, wala lang, hehehe.
Nakita ko namang umiling-iling si Zeke. "Oh nothing. I'm just amused with the idea that you know a lot of facts about Mexico," natatawang saad nito.
Shit. Me and my big mouth.
Noong nakaraang araw lang din kasi ako nagbasa ng Encyclopedia about Western culture at napasadahan ko ang Mexico. Syempre bored na naman ako nun. Hindi ko naman inakala na iyon ang magiging topic namin ngayon.
At least nakakasabay ako di ba? Hahaha.
Pero baka sabihin nito na masyado akong pa-impress. Tapos sabihin niya na masyado kong pinaghandaan ang date na ‘to.
Pero, natutuwa talaga ako sa kanya pag nagsasalita siya, hindi ko alam kung bakit, hehehe.
Nagpasya na lamang akong tumahimik pagkatapos kong ngumiti ng alanganin dito.
Baka masira ko pa ang moment dahil sa mga pinagsasabi ko, ayoko namang mangyari ‘yon noh.
Maya-maya ay nakangiting binalingan ako ni Zeke.
He’s really handsome, no doubt. Hahaha.
"We’re here. I’m sorry that it’s a long drive. I hope you didn’t get bored but this is one of the finest Mexican restaurant in town," nakangiting saad ni Zeke bago inabot ang susi sa valet at lumabas ng sasakyan.
