Breaking it gently

21 March 2010 3 Comments

After about 4 blizzards, average 28 inches of snow, followed by 4 days of continuing and unrelenting rain, finally we had a beautiful day. Tamang-tama, kasag-sagan nang internet bullying, hate and vilification campaign to Reyna Elena sa Pinoy Blogosphere. So, mon ami et moi decided to drive somewhere.

We went to Atlantic City but decided to take the local roads. Wala lang. What would typically take 2.0 hours from Delaware to Atlantic City, it took us about 3 or more hours. Why? We discovered other alternative driving route destination, read: we got lost.

And my friend could be weird sometimes. You see he is a conversation minimalist, read: shy, but he was angry like a rat because we both forgot to bring Madame Auring’s crystal balls, our navigation systems.

Sure got there anyway, pero we just decided to book a hotel and stay in Atlantic City dahil ginabi nga kami sa daan.

So, after depositing some retirement money on Trumps National Saving Bank, read: Casino, we head to the bars, had some drinks. Wala lang. Kwentuhan.

Typically naman, puro mga kalokohan ang masarap pag-usapan sa tapat nang kwatro kantos right? So, share ko senyo mga pinag-uusapan namen:

Mon ami: Bakit natanggal sa trabaho ang banker?
Reynz: Ewan. Nawalan nang interest?

Mon ami: Why did the chicken cross the road?
Reynz: To get to the other side.

Mon ami: Alam mo bang there’s a restaurant in the moon?
Reynz: Hay naku, I don’t wanna go there. I’m sure wala silang atmosphere.

Oo. When times are rough on the internet, especially in blogging, masarap kamo ang lasa nang kwatro kanto. So, anyway, share ko senyo ang kwento nang tarantadong kaibigan ko.

Eto:

Juan went on vacation and arranged for his mother na bantayan daw ang bahay nya and take care of his cat. Para siguradong all bases are covered, he asked his next door neighbor na check naman daw nya once in a while dahil nga medyo matanda naman ang nanay nitong si Juan. “No problem” sabi nung neighbor.

So, ayun fly ang Juan to Boracay and after a few days, call sya sa neighbor to check on how things were going.

Well,” the neighbor said, “your cat died.”

“Geez! Can’t you break it to me gently? I’m on vacation! Give me some consideration! Like telling me first that the cat was on the roof, then the cat fell off the roof, then maybe you took the cat to the vet one day – like that, not boom! All at once! By the way, how’s my mom?”

Well,’ the neighbor said, “she went up on the roof…”
