Frenzy Fright

Good 'ol Capampangan delicasies.
It's fiesta time once again. Every year when I was still young, my dad and I would go back to his hometown in Lubao. I remember riding the squiggly Ferri's wheel, lining up just to experience the nauseating Octopus and placing my bet at the Sakla. Oh, the good times... those were the days.
Revisiting, I looked for the lavishly decorated streets, the Peria, the Marching Bands and everything that comes to mind when you say Fiesta. The town was peaceful, no blowing horns, no traffic! At last, we reached our destination! The best thing about it is the part where we eat the sumptuous feast. Callos, Arroz Valenciana, Kare-kare, Lengua...names synonymous to Capampangan cooking.

On a sad note, my wedding album got ruined today. I brought it to my relatives in the province for them to see. Unfortunately, the second I took my eyes off it, the disaster happened. There it is, the pages stained and crumpled.

Scene: Mom and Tita turning the pages...
Mom: Naku! Ano ito?
Leslie: Anong ano? Patingin nga! P*****ina! Sinong tarantado gumawa nito?
Tita: Parang tinignan yan nung mga anak nung bisita kanina. Ano ba to, Coke?
Leslie: Sinong mga bata yan? Papatayin ko sila! Anak ng puta! Asan na yang mga yan?
Pagbabayarin ko sila! Di ba nila alam kung ano halaga nito!
Mommy: Baka pwede pa remedyuhan to. Tanong mo kay Mimi!
Leslie: Remedyo? Eh namantsahan na nga yung mga pictures eh. Mabuti naman at nagtira pa
sila! Pu*******na talaga! Lagot ako kay Jayson nito! Mga hampas lupa! Mimi! Paano
na 'to? Huhuhu.
I don't know what to do! Half crazy, half shocked, thinking...it'll be very costly to have another one made. I despise those provincial people who did this to my precious album!!! I can't stop cursing! I hope they don't experience the joys of getting married. Waaaaaaahhhhhhhh!

Are you pregnant? Ive been asked this question a couple of times today. Even though that I know thay they mean well, I can't help but feel down. Imagine, even my 17 y.o niece didn't have a problem conceiving! Oh well, this too shall pass. I'll have mine in God's time.

Aggg. That's sad :( Pero buti nalang digital files na ang mga photo ngayon no?

Keep that album nalang as your display album for messy walang alaga people and then when you can order a new one for you and Jayson.

Ay shiet, bad trip yun!!!!!! Tangina talaga! (naku, pati ako napamura!)......I hope magawan ng paraan...paano kaya?

With regards to having a baby, speaking from experience ha, a baby would always be a welcome addition and make your union really a family, pero it would not hurt to enjoy yourselves talaga. gawin nyo ang lahat ng pwede magawa! Pag nandyan na si baby, wala ka na...si baby na muna :D

hi leslie.. anu ba yan? i take note not to bring my album to the province na! grr... i hope there's something you can do.. maybe re-print the page??

Leslie said...

Mga friends, thanks sa pakikiramay. Hanggang ngayon di ko pa rin alam gagawin ko about it. Ayoko naman ma-spoil vacation ni Mimi. Wala ako magawa kundi mapamura na lang. Shit!!!!!! ---> pagka-Bad girl ko lumalabas na pati sungay at buntot.
About the baby, kairita lang pag lagi na lang tinatanong. Hay! Kaya nga ba ayaw ko nagpapakita sa mga kamag-anak eh. Hehe.
