oh posh!

Me and Claire are saying that word for the whole time while waiting for a jeep inside the Ayala Alabang Village going outside, back to ATC. Where waiting and tired going back. Simpletons waiting in a posh village, just saw posh people, stars, water, and bazaar. What a posh life! hehe Which I don't want to be, even you're kinda super rich. hehe Ah yes, the village has a jeepney toda, they don't like trikes I guess.

After missing yun dapat pupuntahan ko for the weekend coz of stress, work and errands, eh naisip go, let's go to that St. James bazaar. Eh, dream naman kasi ni Raims yun, and luckily she does not only have a stall but also business partners. Good year for her.

Actually, it's my bad because I already informed 2 friends na Monday ako pupunta, but unfortunately, I changed my mind in the last minute.

Si William, well, nun niyaya ko siya kahapon eh matutulog muna siya bago pumunta. Si Joanne, Monday pupunta.

Good thing there is Claire na malapit lang sa URCI and ayun, madali ko nayaya.hehe Ah, speaking of URCI, pumunta muna ako dun, have some talk, and great lunch. I miss that place. Very missed place. I love living at the south. Damn. hehe Oh it's a miracle I did have a good lunch cooked by Ate. Mukhang ngayon lang ako nakatikim ng masarap na luto niya. At di na chicken lang alam niya. Improvement since I lived there before. Peace! Hahaha

Ah yes, before I left home, I downloaded the movies I want before I downgrade the package sa DSL. The reason behind that. Well, benjamins. hehe

Anyway, I left then went to URCI, after lunch, I met Claire and rode a jeep papuntang, my fave mall, ATC.

Unfortunately, we don't have time to stroll kasi kailangan makabalik ako shop early. hehehe

After some time, we thought may free shuttle papunta inside that posh village. What I remember years ago, especially halloween, na parang walang jeep or tricycle dun. We can't find any shuttle, or free shuttle, but naturo sa min ng mga driver sa terminal na may jeep papunta sa loob.

We did find that green jeepney terminal, tapos eto na, may gate pass pa. Wow. Before you ride a jeep, you need to get a gate pass from a sekyu. As usual, tanong kung saan, sabi naman sa bazaar, tanong na naman kung for what, sabi namin shoppers. Fill out the crappy forms, leave an ID then sakay sa jeep.

9 bucks? Long ride...

Well, when the jeep turned left sa entrance ng village tapos biglang bumaba kami. Sabi ko, 9 pesos na yun!!!! Peste naman, eh pwede naman lakarin ha.

Maling akala. hehehe

Icheck pala nun mga guards yun hawak namin papel, eh kukunin nila. Naman. hehe

Then balik sa jeep, tapos, yes, posh waiting. hehe

While talking to Claire, napapansin ko na parang ang tagal ha. Parang dadalhin kami sa dulo ng walang hanggang. hehe

Parang nagbiyahe ako sa Fairview, ang layo naman ng bazaar na yun. At the middle of the ride, may dalawang nice looking ladies, at sumakay sila sa jeep. Ah they look like high school girls pero high class. Posh kids. hehehe

After a very long ride, at last, we're here at Cuenca bazaar. It has a tag line of more than 600 concessionaires, so it's big. Big posh bazaar.

We went looking for Raims' stall and while looking, aba may ambulance, may pa raffle, bring me whatever, and most especially, posh people. May mga artista pa. hehe Chicks, oh man, it's heaven, this is where eyes go blind because of beauty. Damn. hehe

We were able to find yun stall ni Raims, at of course pinakilala niya yun mga partners niya. And while standing, grabe yun bazaar, so packed kaya yun mga stalls dikit dikit, and the ambulance has a purpose, baka may mahimatay sa sobrang dami ng tao, actually parang di pa max yun. hehe

Pero well, labas muna kami ni Claire to breathe. Oh yes, a lot of breathing. It's hot, crowded and chaotic so whew.

Ah, while waiting for the other friend that has also a stall, eh usap usap lang kami ni Claire about life.

Well, she has a hard life right now, good thing she kinda let it out, ang sabi ko nga, parang may pattern talaga ang mga Reyes sa buhay. Peste. hehe

I won't really give details on that, but in the end, we just say na don't give up, you have friends and continue on the things you love to do. Sayang naman kasi, pero I know she realized it naman. Ang kakatawa, kaya pala niya joke joke lang daw para to keep her going other than weeping hard every moment.

So, we find yun isa kong friend malapit sa emergency exit and surprising na parang may space or hangin pa sa stall na yun. We did find her and ayun kwento about sa bazaar at sa world trade bazaar na sobrang olats daw so the only hard thing was the ventilation talaga. Hehe Parang ka nag gym sa init and sikip. Crap indeed.

We decided to buy them to eat, something cold and came to our surprises, not the ATM booths or the dreaded BIR booth, but well, how do you compress 600 stalls, use a lot of space. So parang may tent 2 pa pala. hehe Food court then some kinda dapitan arcade, decors and etc. Naisip ko, parang hirap puntahan yun ha. hehe

We scouting the food and since you're in a posh village, in a posh bazaar, don't expect cheap foods. Ang cheap malamang yun sorbetes, other than that, oh of course, yun Halo Halo. hehe Damn mineral water, it's 35 pesos for 500 ml or less ata, basta yun na lang binili ko. hehe

We got back, bring the halo halo and at least, nawala yun init ng ulo nila. hehe

Some chit chat with Raims and plans for the la vista which is on Dec 12-13, it's the village near miriam college, be there! hehe Bazaar whatever, for greater cause, if any.

We were kinda hurry and ayun, we walking crazy kung paano bumalik sa bus terminal pabalik Manila. Great, panay tanong namin sa guard at saan naman kami dinala. Pesteng village, posh waiting. hehe

Ah, we did find the free shuttle, unfortunately, free shuttle around the village pala. Kaya di namin makita yun sa labas. Aysus!!! For short, walang silbi. Ah mayrun pala, sila nagturo kung saan kami magandang maghintay ng jeep. No cab, yes we tried that. Of course, no trike.

Like 10 minutes plus the 10 minutes walking around where to find the jeep, we did find one. You won't believe this, the one we rode going inside the village, is the also the one we rode going back ATC. So parang walang cutting trip sa village. Talagang posh village, they have posh rules. hehehe

Anak ng tokwa, well, it's better than late than sorry. Oh crap, I am late going back and there nasa ATC na kami.

Tired, shocked and happy because we saw friends and stars? Nah. hehe

Marami nakatira dun artista and they have one thing in common, they walk fast. hehe

Jeez. Anyway, so Claire got home first kasi BFRV lang naman while me, it's a long ride. While going back in QC, well, I want to sleep but I can't. However, I thought that ok din pala pumunta dun, at least di ba, checking your friends and happy to see on what they are doing. Even it's hard, and tiring, in a way, when they hear that the products they sell is good, parang ok na sayo yun. Yun gawa mo nagustuhan nila at marami sila, sulit ang pagod mo.

Ako naman, hmmm ok lang din, kaso since retail ako, kailangan marami eh. hehe Pero I'm happy, very happy.

Oh well, I got back sa shop, done some paper work and went home, drained. Damn. hehe Yet satisfied for the day. Naisip ko nga ganun din ako next year, kaso parang ang hirap maglagay ng cell shop and magtitinda ka lang for 4 days tops? Nah, parang loading station na lang, kaso naisip ko, hmmmm postpaid naman sila lahat? hehehe Pero ang sure, next year they're there and we will do it again, sana may car na. Bwahahaha

Posh living, in a way, might go two ways, one in posh heaven or posh hell. Your choice.

Ah William? Yes, he woked up 6pm. 3 times more hours he promised to get up. hehe

He got posh sleep I guess..
