"The Opus Mall Couch Experience"

 "The Opus Mall Couch Experience"

So I was in Opus Mall on one of the comfortable couches in front of the foot locker. I was massaging my neck while sitting dab smack in the middle as it was the only available spot on the couch. The other people left and a family moved in,  flanking me on both sides , they we are all eating Ilaoilao, the yoghurt thing. On my right was a Mom and a kid on her lap and on my right was a small boy and the Mom's best friend also with a baby of a few months old on her lap. From a casual observers point of view I might have looked liked a part of their family! "Bakit wala akong ilaoilao(Yawyaw)???

It got even more awkward when they started talking about their plans in life...with me in the middle.

Mom on my right: "Girl , tuloy ko na ba yung balak ko?"

BF on the left: Anong plano girl?

Mom on my right: "Kaso May trauma ako..."

BF on the left: "Anong plano nga?"

Mom on my right:"Yung sa Boracay girl, sa Hainan kami magstay nabook ko na.Yung may viral video nung mga lasing dati."

BF on the left:"Yun naman pala."

Mom on my right:"Eh kasi girl paano kung may mga lasing na naman ulit?"

I was almost tempted to say: "Girl, ituloy mo na. Kailan mo pa itutuloy yan? Malalaki naman na ang mga bata. You deserve a vacation!"

Buti na lang tumawag yung asawa ko kasi may ipapakitang sapatos si Aven sa Converse...
