remember when i said i hate riding a bus? yup, nothing's change, except that i hate it even more!
here's a story. i was riding a bus yesterday, and since it still was waiting to be full, i was tinkering on my kindle and found this chess game that i even forgot it was there. i'm not good in playing one, which is a shame coz my sister(atchie) and brother are very good players. they were busy collectiong trophies and medals during their grade school and high school while i was busy harassing classmates on my free time. yuh, i was a bully back then. i was one of those mean girls who bully kids in school that is the subject of so many films, except that i wasn't a cheerleader or pretty... and i am rambling...
so, i was playing this chess game and was too proud to lose that i didn't stop playing 'til i beat the damn software... that was the plan until we're on 50-0, in favor of the software. i was sweating and i couldn't blame the climate change for that as i always do. the bus (air-conditioned) was even less than 20 degrees for that matter. i was in those moments where the more i lose the more i determined to win and the damn software made it so hard for me to. damn software..
so, an hour had passed and i was pressing the tablet harder than i needed to, so that i almost left permanent marks on it. nothing's change, the software was still winning, except that we're 30 kilometers away and i felt nauseated from the constant swaying of the bus and from the extra effort to steadied my eyes on the swaying tablet, too. then i stopped coz i felt a little dizzy. i closed my eyes hoping to got my composure back... another hour had passed and the dizziness got worse. i was already biting my lower lip coz my stomach was hurling and i knew what that meant. that's bad omen... i knew what will happen next and i'm giving all my strength trying to not make it happen. i don't wanna be that woman on her mid 20's who still throw-up riding a bus... and i was even wearing a very red lipstick for crying out loud!
i couldn't helped it longer and i knew that it was coming. at least i still had the decency to warned my seatmate "miss, magsuka ko, excuse me, ha!", then i grabbed and emptied the jollibee plastic bag inside my backpack (that had the burgers in it for pasalubong) faster than the speed of light. then there, it went back - the shawarma rice that i had eaten before the trip, with little carrots and corns still undigested. yuh, i know, EW!
remember the little girl with the disgusted goo that i mocked HERE? yuh, karma right?
and that stupid chess game? after 648678943446784874 games played, i'm still on my 0 (zero). and i wont stop til my fingers bleed.
