Jacuzzi Jans

Isang payapang gabi ng pagtatrabaho, biglaang inalog ni Jans ang upuan ko. Naisip ko tuloy, ano ba ’yan, parang jacuzzi lang! Kaya naman isang negosyong papatok ang naisip namin: Jacuzzi Jans. At tinapatan niya ito nang kagana-ganang slogan: Jajacuzzihin ka talaga!

Nang mga sumunod na araw, nadagdagan pa ito ng ibang tag lines gaya ng “Jajacuzzihin ka to the max!“ at “Experience Jacuzzi like no other“ na tila mas akma sa isang promotional video.

At dahil sa website department din lang naman kami, bakit hindi magkaroon ng site na may testimonials page:

1. Grabe! Kalurkey.

2. Uulit-ulitin mo sa sarap!

3. I’ve never had something like this before!

May Before and After pa na mula sa J ay magiging :D

Suhestiyon pa ng tatay ko, may piped-in music na “Torete” at paglabas ng mga tao ay pawang mga tuliro. Puwede ring samahan ng concert na “Sax to the Max!” Akala mo kung anong jacuzzi na, Wet Set lang pala na manual ang pag-alog. Kaya kung jacuzzing-jacuzzi ka na, bakit pa pupunta sa iba? Halina’t subukan ang Jacuzzi Jans.

Mga Tanda Na Wala Nang Tao

(Para sa mga mahilig mag-OT ng Saturday morning)

1. May mga tao nga sa paligid mo, pero nagva-vacuum naman.
2. Gustuhin mo mang mag-surrender ng bag, wala nang tatanggap.
3. Wala nang pagkain sa canteen.
4. Ang bilis mong nakababa sa elevator.
5. Tumapat ka man sa automatic door, 'di na bumubukas.

Not Available

My recent status update on Facebook tells about my bad experience of being told “Sorry ma’am, not available po” at KFC and Mini Stop. As if this was not enough, I was told again that Kare-Kare Hotta Rice was no longer available at 711 the next day. I tried for better luck at the newly-opened dining place in Eastwood and ordered for the Chicken Charlie Bowl. “Sorry ma’am, it’s not yet available.” In fairness, their value meal A had been worth the wait.

Being the person who rarely gives up easily, ‘di pa sapat na minsang mabigo. Binalikan ko ang mashed potato at Krushers sa KFC kinabukasan… Not available pa rin! Panahon nang mag-isip-isip. Baka ‘di talaga laan sa kin. Sabi nga ni Belong tungkol sa pag-i-schedule ng lakad namin, “Wag mong pilitin kung mahihirapan ka lang.” Parang pag-ibig, at parang sa toilet lang din.

Pero may KFC din naman sa Cubao kaya dumayo pa ‘ko. Mahaba ang pila kaya inobserbahan ko muna ang kinakain ng mga tao. May mashed potato na! (Pero baka walang kutsara sabi ni Shaola?) At baka nga may Krushers nga sa machine, pero 1 hour pa pala bago mayari? Mayari talaga.

APE

Hindi ito tungkol sa theory of evolution. Iisa-isahin natin ang mga bumubuo sa Annual Physical Exam na sa ilang pagkakataon ay iniiwasan, kinatatakutan, o kinaiinisan:
1. History-Taking. Matatakot habang inaalala kung sinong may heart disease, high blood, diabetes o kanser sa pamilya
2. BP, Height and Weight na isinisigaw at nahihiya ka
3. Eye Check. Sa sobrang layo ng kinatatayuan ko, wag ko raw hulaan. May ulo pang haharang.
4. CBC. Parang kagat lang ng lamok!
5. Stool Sample. Wag pilitin. Kung ano lang daw ang kayang ibigay. Wag magmadaling magpasa. Baka ka madapa at matapon pa. Ang mahirap kung kailan kailangan saka ka naman wala sa mood.
6. Physical Check. Wag agad maghubad bago pumasok at magsabi ng "Doc, handa na po ako." Baka tumambad sa 'yo ang mga kakilala na napagtripang tumambay sa likod ng kurtina. Pero kung nakapaghubad na, dumiretso ka na sa mobile X-ray na naka-istasyon sa parking. From x-rated to x-ray!

Last word: Kung lalake, wag pipila sa pap smear.

When Dad Was A Schoolboy

It pays to visit grandmother's house and look into the dustbins of history. You can discover hidden treasures of the past... which can be used to shape your present, and future. Ha ha ha! It's just funny how the man who inspired me to excel in school used to be naughty and disobedient. Furthermore, he needed to practice handwriting at home. Notice the grades reflected for this subject in the two report cards. In all fairness, he graduated elementary with the award of First Honor. ;-)
