And slightly sad, half-mad nevergirl is


just a 25-year-old who still wishes it would rain chocolates one day. No matter how many stilettos she learns to walk in and never mind that she breathes work and smells of stale potential, she’d always be half in love with peter pan and that secret, secret place not-so-little girls go to when they do not want to grow up or compromise their dreams.

"Did he step on you?"

I froze, not wanting to lie but knowing right there and then I might have to. He looked grim.

"Why?" I hedged. I didn’t want trouble. We’d trooped to AA’s for dinner - my sister and the little girl in tow - because the yaya was sick. We’d given her two days off; and today, and not one of us wanted to do any cooking. Trouble was the last thing I wanted, not with four strapping males on one side and only the hub on the other.

"Because I felt you flinch, and I saw his hand shove you aside. So, did he step on you?"

I waved his concern away. "Can I answer that in a bit? I’m starving. I think I’d like to try this and this, and maybe some of that beef, as well?"

"Ma, you have to answer my question because if he stepped on you, I’m going to go up to him and throw this plate on his face."

"You caveman! What on earth do you want to go and do that for? You want a brawl? You want Alex to see you beat up a guy, or worse, get beaten up by all four of them?"

"No. But did he step on you?"

I glanced to my left. I waited for the four Koreans to drift away before I nodded. "Yes, he stepped on me. He stepped on my foot as he shoved me aside just so he could grab four sticks of barbecue. An apology would have been nice, but I wasn’t hurt so I don’t want you making a ruckus over this. Let it go. The little girl is watching you."

He clenched his fists, and for a moment, I thought he would make good on his threat to start a scuffle. Instead, he inhaled deeply before he told me, "Let’s eat at the first establishment that puts up a ‘No Koreans Allowed’ sign. I don’t know how you can put up with the Koreans at your workplace. These asses come here to learn English. What they need are lessons on good manners."

I thought about what he said while I chewed on my beef. He’s right. Their curriculum could use a little beefing up.

saputon sad gyud ko ana nila chin! wa gyuy mga batasan.

Posted by M at March 31, 2008, 12:07 am

i don’t want to be discriminating no but like M, saputon ko makakita nila because they’re so rude! they don’t know how to fall in line. nya feeling nila they own the place. they’re so boisterous and loud and annoying. hehehe.

Posted by kaith at March 31, 2008, 4:03 pm

if i was there, i’d give that guy a good beating (or maybe, encourage your hub to do the beating and i’d be cheering. hehe. mean ko sa?)

makalagot. the least he could’ve done was say sorry.

Posted by Aileen at April 1, 2008, 8:32 pm

Ai, wala jud nagsorry. He moved away as if nothing had happened. It’s not possible he didn’t know he’d stepped on me. My feet are not that thin! Hahaha.

Posted by nevergirl at April 3, 2008, 7:04 pm

M and Kaith, lagi, mga bastos jud ni sila. Sadly, they’re everywhere we go. It’s almost impossible to go to a place and not find them swarming all over. I’m trying not to be prejudiced because I’ve met some of them who are really nice. But the rest are loud, rude, and dishonest; and there are days I wish they’d just go home and take their kim-chi with them.

Hahaha. Maka-imagine baya ko mai muunsa ka if naa pa lang ka didto. Right now, I’m laughing because I remembered your reaction when that mean old lady told Tiris, “Tambuka naman ka!”
