Echoing Back

Tinatamad na ako isulat ‘to.

Pero In gist, what I was trying to say was that because of the experience of almost being mauled I was more afraid in the streets now.

Last Saturday I accompanied three former members of UP Paranormal Society to search for ghosts and other entities in the UP Theater. This was for a segment I was producing. But I wasn’t really frightened even during the few times that our camera lights went out just as the paranormal investigator was pointing the location of the entity (happened twice).

But when I went to our high school classmates’ house somewhere in Luzon Avenue, mas kinabahan ako. We were along the road waiting for some classmates and I feel like every guy passing was looking and about to hit us with some pipe.

Papunta sa bahay ng kaklase ko kailangan naming dumaan sa mga maliliit na eskinita. I was with two other classmates who lives in the area and another one who knows the way as well. PERO 20 minutes yata kaming nagpaikot-ikot. Apparently they didn’t know the way. May mga tumutulong naman, volunteering directions — mga tambay na nag-iinom! Nililigaw ata kami. At one point, I was so paranoid I have to tuck my iPod inside my undies. YES! Inside my undies! The screen part was held by my pants’ waistband.

Nakarating naman kami ng maayos. Paglabas na lang kami nakasalubong ng lasing na biglang pinagtuturo yung isang kaibigan ko at naghahamon ng away.

Sa jeep pauwi sa amin, isang mama naman na katabi ng driver ang text ng text at lingon ng lingon sa likod. Eh may isa pa kaming kasamang praning. Akala niya tinitignan yung GF niya. Sinita-sita niya. Maya-maya may nag-eepal na isa pang mama, pulis pala.

A little later, biglang naghalughog yung mama ng gamit sa bag niya. Nagpanic na yung dalawang praning baka raw may baril. Pinahinto yung jeep, pinuntahan nung pulis yung mama tapos naghahanap ng ID at kung anu-ano sa bag.

Actually, headphone lang naman nung cellphone yung kukunin nung mama. I saw it kasi nasalikod lang ako. Pero kasi naman lingon talaga siya ng lingon sa likod eh. Sabi niya hinahanap niya yung kasama niya eh bumaba raw pala.

NYAK! Not to be judgemental. Mukha naman siyang mabait. Kaya lang ganun na ganun style ng mga holdaper. Wala pang laman yung jeep nakapwesto na siya sa tabi ng driver. Kung magkasama sila bakit naghiwalay pa sila ng upuan?

My iPod nga pala was safely tucked under my pants so pagdating ko sa bahay, ayun may dent at wrinkles na yung skin ng iPod ko.

Wala lang. Corny blog lang. Napromise ko na kasi sa blog ko last time.
