A 10-Minute Ride

"I heard you're planning to spend the holidays back home now that you already have your greencard?" My mum's uncle asked me on our way to my workplace. Uncle Roger volunteered to drop me off that day since he's not interested in watching Kampanerang Kuba unlike his wife and my mum. I just confirmed what my mum told him, he went on talking and I heard the best advice given to me, "Enjoy your vacation, then, 'coz by the time you got back here, you'll have to focus on your studies and part-time job, whatever it may be."

If only he knew.. I won't be really enjoying myself in the Philippines.. I'll hafta manage my aunt's store while she's having her much-needed vacation and check-up. I won't be a part of the "Empe Boiz" anymore, though salimpusa naman lang talaga ako.. All I have is 2 days at most, if ever matuloy man ako this month.. Kahet kase I'm working my flat ass off, eh part-timer lang naman ako tsaka minimum lang rate ko, kaya short pa rin ako ng pamasahe.. Sa hangin kase kame nagkapirmahan ni kuya ng kontrata na if ever man kapusin ako eh iso-shoulder n'ya..

"Pagdating mo dun, mag-scout ka na ng mapapangasawa mo. Dapat Nursing grad at masipag, 'yung ipagta-trabaho ka para mabuhay kayo not the other way around. Tapos, i-petition mo na makarating dito, pero kelangan you love each other. Tignan mo kame ng Auntie mo. Mas maganda pa rin kase pag Pilipino rin mapapangasawa mo eh."

"Aray ko, bata pa po ako," was my reply but wasn't voiced out, late na'ko for work eh..
