Dragged myself out of bed at 6 in the morning to go to the cemetery. The plain thought of having to squeeze myself in the countless number of people under the Philippine sun wasn't very pleasing. But then I thought of my dead relatives and I just know I had to go because my so called 'conscience' will do its work which is to make me feel like crap until I give up.

I was with my cousins and my Titas when we went to Manila North Cemetery. Supposedly, we were to claim the 8 baskets of orchids my Titas ordered from this so called 'During'. So we stopped by the front gate and my Titas are searching all over for the During girl whatever along the strip of flower vendors. They seem to be having a hard time so we had to ask this flower vendor:

Auntie: May kilala po ba kayong During dito?

Vendor: Po? Matagal na pong wala dito yun.

*Auntie walks off to look again leaving me and my cousins there in the midst of the beloved vendor*

Vendor: Sino ulit hinahanap niyo?

(Naks naman. Bilis makalimot ni Manang.)

Min: During po. Kinausap po siya ng Mom ko and Tita ko isang araw.

Vendor: Matagal na siyang wala... Matagal na siyang..patay.

Cousins and ME: *stares at each other* Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitttt!

Shit talaga. If she's dead, then who's the During my Mom and Tita talked to and ordered 8 baskets of orchids?? Oooh. Creeepy.

Anyways, Tita ordered from a different vendor along the strip. So when everything was done, we all had to carry 2 bakets of orchids each person. Of course, ginagawa na ng mga pulis ang kanilang mga tungkulin at hinigpitan pa nila ang seguridad para mapanatili ang kaayusan at kaligtasan ng mga tao. Kaya naman naimbento nila ang pag chcheck ng bag bago pumasok.

Guard: *looks at me and my cousin holding the flowers* Walang bomba yan ah? *laughs*

Cousin: Wala po!

Min: Yan ang alam niyo. *stares him in the eye and walked away*

Bomba my ass.

Soooooo, after smelling all odors god has made, screamed at the top of my lungs when someone steps on my foot, and adored the food stalls we woud pass by, we arrived in our spot. Haha. Spot amp. So we saw Tito Tony there already with his maid and a small kid. Turns out, he is my nephew. He is sooooo cute. He was almost the same height as me but then I learned he was only a 1st grader. Fuckshit. In time, we're the only ones who talked since we're the only kids left at one point. I was playing WWE in Mara's PSP , SEGWAY: That was the first time I played WWE and I won!!!!! Pagbigyan. Mababaw ako. Anyways, we were sitting together and he was acting like my little coach beside me.

"Press the 'X' button! Get the steel chair and smack it on his face!! Hahaha!"

Puta. High si gago. Haha. Joke. After that, I let him try it. While playing, I asked him about his arm which is in a cast. Apparently, he rarely speaks Tagalog so I had to bleed and suffer and talk to him in English.

Min: What happened to your arm?

Nephew: Soccer.

Min: You play soccer? Cool!

Nephew: Yes. I'm a varsity in Ateneo. We're going to join in Alaska Cup.

Min: Wow! I'm planning to take soccer lessons too. During summer, I mean.

Nephew: There's AFC in Ateneo! Join there so we can see each other during summer.

Min: That's where I'm planning to join. I'll try :)

It was fun bonding with him. He was a funny little guy. He talked about the time wherein he saw 2 guys kissing each other in one of his soccer games and reffered to it as 'Eewwy!', talked more about his WWE moments where taken from his words, "There was this time where I made hubad the girl and I kissed her. Hihihihi!" He was referring about the game ah? Haha! Dirty minds. He's just effin' 7 years old. He's so conyo. Ang funny.

Ay, oo nga pala. Before I forget. Mara, the typical OS Theresian, brought along her schoolwork. Of course, being the older cousin, I would jump in and help a younger cousin in need. But then I saw this little paper that they had to answer. It read out, 'Algebra'. Napasabi ako, 'Sa dinami daming subjects, Algebra pa. Biology nalang!! I love Punnet Sqaures!!'

Pero tinulungan ko parin siya. We answered most of the questions there together with Ate Ana. I guess it was a funny sight seeing Me, Mara and Ate Ana on the floor looking all serious while my other cousins were playing PSP, laughing their heads off and doing other stuff.

Kuya Jok: Ganyan ba mga Theresians? Hahaha! Para kayong tanga diyan.

I don't know, really. Though I loathe, abhor, and curse Algebra or any Math related subjects, I like the feeling of TRYING to solve them.

So, later on, Me and Mara continued me and my cousins' tradition of collecting melted candles and selling them. After a hard day's work, we succesfully gathered 4 kg of melted candles and earned us a hefty P30! Haha =)) We were like screaming up and down shouting, "We're riiiiich! Yehey!!"

So, to end things, I stayed in the cemetery until 4pm. Demmet.
