the Starbucks Episode

Thursday, November 24, 2005

i
bought a complete Ultimate Spanish language set. its about the most
expensive thing i bought since i purchased my sister’s Motorola E398
last April. and consider it is nothing but a book and eight compact
discs, it was really not something you would just decide to buy during
the weekend. but, i have good reasons buying it so for the kind of CPA
that i am, i am going to depreciate it over two years.

and
because there was nothing much to do after the purchase, i and my
sister hang around starbucks over at greenbelt (because we are already
in the vicinity) for a frapuccino. we end up commiting sins.

if
there are people i hated more than the flock of foreigners in the
greenbelt area, they are the long-haired, over-dressed filipinas that
they are with. we didn’t really take notice much of them until i took
out the Living Language* Spanish reference guide out of the powerbooks
plastic bag and scanned it. the expatriate must have seen it because he
was asking the two girls he was with if they knew Spanish and started
bragging off some Espanol words.

the girl wearing a white pair of jeans that neither looks good on her nor fashionable spoke up in a southern accent (yes, in my accent, people, but it was even worse cause she used it in speaking English):

“No, but i speak japanese and germany…”

at
that moment, my sister choke on her mocha frap and almost fell from her
chair. trust her to violate the principle of discretion when nosing
into other people’s conversation. i wasn’t able to suppress my giggles
so i shut the book in the hopes of the sound of the pages heavily
slammed unto each other would drown the sound escaping my throat.

oh
my God, if you know how to speak a foreign language, surely you know
what that language is called, right? the last time i checked, the
language in Germany is called German. and correct me if i am wrong, but
the japanese language is called nihonggo or niponggo, or whatever. i
speak neither, so i have a very good excuse.

the
two girls gave us inquiring glances; i fancy their stares lingered from
my black Levis sleeveless shirt and baggy pedal pusher, matched with a
cheap black and white slippers i bought in one of those street vendors
along guadalupe to my half-combed black hair that looks like i came out
of a washing machine dryer. and they looked briefly to my twenty-three
year old sister, who there was really nothing to criticize on. i bet a
hundred u.s. dollars (if i have them), that they would kill for her
23-inch waistline, her high cheekbones, and her butt.

we
said something in Bisaya and laughed. they went back patronizing the
foreign guy, laughing loudly for no reason at all except the guy
started twitching his face and looks like he was smiling after saying
something.

oh my God. do you guys even
know what a conversation is? people laugh when something funny is said.
you contradict when you do not agree. you nod your head when you share
the same thoughts. you are not supposed to, for flying rat’s ass sake,
look like “okay-i-do-not-understand-what-u-said-but-il-laugh-and
-then-let’s-go-and-fuck”
kind of girl.

they left the coffee table
afterwards, the other girl slipping her hands on the foreign guy’s arm
while the other one strutted after them like a lost duck.

you
really could not blame people associating Filipinas to Prostitutes. but
what the fuck, if one has to act like a prostitute, then skip the
conversation kind of thing. this may be the most unpatriotic thing i
ever said but i am not gonna scream guilty.

this
is an economic truth: the law of supply and demand. minimize the supply
and improve on it, demand rises and the market value increases.
eradicate the supply altogether, demand will shoot to the highest level
and not finding any supply, would settle for the substitutes.

and please, do not get me started on what i have to pay for one grande order of white chocolate.

Siguro kung ako yon, talagang ipapakita ko na pinagtatawanan ko siya. :-) Baka katulong yon. Ang dami talagang ganyan ngayon. Pero sana lang, may konti pa rin silang respeto sa sarili.

For flying rat's ass sake, it might cheer you up just a tad to know that this whole shit ass, sucking white man's dick attitude is not exclusive to the Philipines. I've seen it in many parts of Asia, and there's something definitely worse than this. Young, fresh-faced, effeminate Asian men hanging on to the hairy, geriatric arms of many an old white homo. I'm hardly homophobic, as many of my gay friends will attest, (I mean, just ask Mikey,) but the image of them getting it on seems too much for the tiny little puckered anus in my mind's eye. Here's a Spanish word for you: maricones.

Sana lang sinabi niya na hindi siya marunong magsalita ng Nihongo or German, halatang nagkukunwari eh, hehe. . I bet she can only speak a few Nihongo words like "Doomo Arigatou Gozaimasu" or something :D

angela, u are right. but ppl do pretty stupid things in the name of money. lol.

roanne, a very sad fact. :(

kinky— chico, for flying rat ass' sake, u are missing the point. but that's okay, cause i dont really expect the likes of u to get the whole essence anyway. here's an espanol phrase for you: "tu es un cabron chovinista tan callate.".

Alright. I'll shut up then, since I'm such a chauvinistic motherfucker/dick/asshole/goat. Gee, thanks.

Ugh! yet another reason why I have extremely short hair. i hate being lumped with those kind. i do get defensive whenever I go back home with my German husband and mongrel kid. hmmm… hope they do not think i am one of those "reformed" ex-prostis. hahahaha

Maggie! Kinkylube! Why are you fighting? This is a blog of peace! Or at least I'd like to think of it that way.

World Peace! Wahoo!!!

[7] oh Anp, jjajajaja, i know what you mean. the generalizations are really crazy. there must be something freudian about long hair, lol!

Saw your blog at AnP's, anyway your observations are right to the dot! When I was in Greenbelt last year, [after 2 years of being kidnapped in Holland], I was scandalized by the prostitution development in the area. Literally blown away by the scene especially in that Cafe Havana place. In fact, Dutchman [my bf] and I were so amused that we came back for successive 3 nights to people watch. Our conclusion: we were 101% sure the women were hookers. After 20 minutes sitting there, you get to see how the meat trade unfolds right before your very eyes. It was very obvious even to the untrained eye.

ahhh, couldnt agree more. my expat friends were there the other weekend because that is the only place that plays good salsa music in the area. they're 29 year old swiss guys and women from ages 19 to 40 started coming on at them! bloody devastating!
