In the Bus

So I was at the bus. Central to SM Fairview. Aircon. Punuan. Tayuan. As a good abiding citizen, I follow the conductor:

Conductor: Oh usog lang tayo. Sa likod yung malalayo pa, sa harap yung mga bababa na.

And I follow manong kundoktor.

" Ah, hindinamanpalapunuansalikod, malawak pa ang space.. sure wala nang upuan pero at least hindi natatamaan ng some stranger yung boobs ko."

A normal day. Si Kuya Willie ang nasa TV with his sexy dancers at the background. " Abang abang lang tayo. May bababa din." At sure enough may bumaba sa Tandang Sora.

Syempre, as a practical wise tired and hungry girl I am, I sit immediately. "Ah this is my day. Cool."

Next thing I heard: Ah, I just let a woman sit first, even though I was closer to the seat...

She is just eating a banana que. She's very hungry... No... I'm not a fan of letting women sit, I treat everyone equally... She's just watching some video... I don't know... Yeah...So ungrateful...

Nice wan kuya. "UNGREATFUL". That really got me.

I can actually understand you, you sweet considerate bastard... I freaking speak English. Hah... Look, It's not my fault that you are so busy talking with, whoever, your girlfriend I suppose . I was actually trying to be polite and not interrupt your conversation. Because, obviously, your call is so much more important than the freaking seat... Because if it wasn't, it would be like: #1, a seat becomes available, #2 you see it, #3 you sit on it, dummy.

What he did was: #1 a seat becomes available, #2 he stares at it, #3 he tells his phone pall that a seat is now available, dummy.

Being the innocent looking resourceful young woman I am, I did what I can to shame him... Why?... Well, just cause! Now, what would you have done? Ignore it like you did not hear the hurtful, tedious, accurate, hurtful things that that man said? No!

I increased the volume of the video I was watching. I was watching this funny Asian looking girl who has an Aussie accent, Natalie (xxx). I forgot her last name. Para syang si MikeyBustos, or si CongTV sa Youtube... Australian nga lang... Anyway,

Nat A: What's your password?

Nat B: I.. it's pp.. "password."

Nat A: Yah, what's your password?

Nat B. Yah,,, it's "password."

She's a very interesting Youtuber, right? With an Australian accent, babe. Look her up. Subscribe. No. This is not a paid advertisement. Boy, I lost you there, didn't I? MY point is:

I was letting him know that I know English dude. It's not immature... Yah, I don't care what you think reader. Just go with the story.. I don't want views in this stupid app. Wattpad? More like, "What? Pad?" Oh, look at that. That was a bad pun in writing. That's rare. I'm proud of that.

Going back. At the bus, the freaking man, freaking stopped talking to his girl. Bwahahahah... He just started texting. And laughing??? What the hell? Were they still talking about me? But I didn't say anything rude! What did I do to deserve this kuya? I just took the freaking empty seat. Huh.

Anyways, let me know in the comments what YOU think. Was I just overthinking? Was there a better way of handling that situation? Should I have just thanked him despite of those things he said? Should I have offered him the seat? Gave him the banana que?... huh.. That's just weird. Why would I do that?

If you are tired after work, would you have time to talk about an empty seat to your phone pal instead of just sitting in it? Am I over reacting because I am freaking writing about it? I should find a better material to write about...

Cool.

Cheers!
