I. Getting to Taguig Post Office
Okay, getting to this area is literally REALLY hard! since I don't know the place, I opted to do an ocular using the directions given to me by Allan (thanks to him & Rommel). The post office in Taguig is somewhere in Lower Bicutan (a place I've never been to ever since!). I left the office after taking lunch with Liza and rode the e-tryke going to Market Market. From there, I rode an fx going to Taguig and ask the driver to drop me off at the City Hall. The "true face" of the city of Taguig is different from the one I am familiar with in Bonifacio Global City. It was like Quezon City where you can see all sorts of business establishments, carinderias, bakeshop, hardware, tryke terminals, jeep terminals, traffic, etc, etc along the way. When I called up the City Hall last week, the person I talked to gave me directions about a street called Bagumbayan, when the fx passed by a street named liked that, I felt that I should've drop by there and walk/ride my way to the other side. But since Allan told me to get off exactly at the terminal, that's what I did. Turned out, I need to ride back again via jeep heading to Bicutan - and I am right - the jeep travelled the same road that the fx travelled going to City Hall before. Then I saw that Bagumbayan street, I knew I am near. After a few blocks, finally I am at the post office! It wasn't like the one as big as in Makati. It was like a regular post office. Nothing exciting.

II. Then???
Then, I asked a manong seated in the front table where I could received the parcels using the Form 1512 (if I'm not mistaken). He told me that the person manning the customs office suddenly went home because of an emergency. I asked if there are other persons who could release the item for me since I went half-day because of that. He said that only that person, named Bon-Bon is responsible for that. Poor me. I was realy really exhausted going to that place and what?!?! I wouldn't stil get Yotsuba and Suzuki. :(

I just inquired where the hell is the way for me to go back to Edsa and just head back home... (-__-#)

III. The other side to Edsa
Allan told me to ride a jeep abode Pasig or San Joaquin and drop off at the terminal and ride another jeep to Edsa from Megamall. Okay, that wasn't the one the front desk guy told me to do. He said to ride a jeep again (same street side as that of the post office) and drop off at Jollibee [for sure I could see it! >.<]. Then I have to ride a tryke going up. That's what I did. I opted to follow the frontdesk man's directions instead of Allan's. ^__^

After I reached Jollibee, I can't see where I could ride the tryke, and so being an 'avid fan' of walking, I tried walking the way up thinking that it would just take me a few steps to reach the top. BUT NO!!! Since the road is somewhat inclined, it was burden going up, I was like hiking the Batulao mountain again. Waaah!! I felt so tired. The sun was really hot, I did not even put on sunblock, I am dripping wet, and my legs and feet are all aching! I thought I could not do it anymore. I even passed by the Taguig "somewhat" school, NCPD Taguig and the Bureau of Equipment (may ganun palang government office?!?). When I saw a tryke terminal, I decided to ride instead. Then everything started to look familiar, the place I've been to (the Jollibee one), was the end of the road if you traverse the street in front of the DOST office in Bicutan. I was familiar with it for I've been there a couple of times already following up my scholarship, my years of service, signing up documents, paying 20k to temporarily lift my 'being banned to get out of the country' just to acquire a passport, and so on and so forth. Way across is SM Sucat Bicutan. Waaah, I am so near Parañaque and I am in the south of Metro Manila already!!!

When I unloaded at the tryke terminal, I walked my way to the usual streets I always pass by when I go to DOST. But they aren't the same anymore (except from the street vendors and the train railway) - there were overpass in pink and blue built by MMDA. I was trying to avoid using that and so I walked under the overpass thinking that I could still ride a bus going to Ayala from there. But I didn't. Fences were surrounding the place so I still need to climb up the overpass to get to the other side. Poor me... I was already feeling the heat on my head and anytime I could feel I would having migraines again. This is soooo frustrating...

IV. Going Home... Sad... ;(
From Bicutan, I paid for a fare to Ayala. First, I thought of going back to the mall and walk around but because of all the mishaps that happened, I just felt tired of doing that. Instead, I waited for an aircon bus going home (nalang). After I paid the fare to our place, I slept as if nobody cares. I felt so restless. I woke up nasa Balintawak nako! Grin*

I felt I'm going to have migraines again... sad...
I instead diverted my attention to playing Guitar Hero World Tour nalang. And na-happy pako kase nabuksan ko pa ung ibang gig events. Pero in fairness mahirap ah kahit 'Easy' ung difficulty. Pano nalang pag 'Medium', 'Hard', at 'Expert'??

V. Final Decision
So, what's next for Yotsuba and Suzuki??! I was thinking of going back at the post office again, this time riding a cab. I think it would do. I'll just leave the office around 11:30am so I would be back right before 1pm.

It was a tiring day... Time to sleep...
 

I was browsing through unread emails since I left my old company. Friends I gained there always do keep in touch even on the littlest ideas like forwarding emails. It always makes me smile whenever I received  like those especially if they personally ticked my name as ones to be forwarded to - it just means they remember me even a little. ^__^

I came across to this one email which had been circling the net for the past 1-2 years already. Remember the household named "Inday" whose lines are nosebleed-jerker as ever? This was one of those. I received quite a few through text messages but never realized Inday could do blogging too. Grin*

Here, have a read:

It was jazz an ordinary day. The skies were clear, the birds were chipping. Ang ganda-ganda ng araw! Nasa SM ako noon at katatapos ko lang mamili ng groceries. Timing naman nasa foodcore si Angel Locsin, nagpro-provoke ng movie nya. Grabe, andaming fans, pull-packed talaga! Dahil fans nya rin ako, nakipila rin ako.

Then suddenly, out of the loo, may bumulong sa akin ng: "Indaaaayyyy....."

Huh? It sounded like a familiar sound. Who can it be now?

"Dodong!" sigaw ko.

Napalakas yata voice ko. Kasi the other fans turned their backs to their
behind at napatingin sa amin. Sabi ko "Sorry, I didn't mean to be
loud and proud." Hinawakan na lang ni Dodong ang kamay ko at lumayo kami from the crowd.

"Kamusta na Inday? Do you come here open? Tanong nya.

"Bihira lang, Dodong. I'm just droppings by. Ethnic and schedule ko eh." Sabi ko.

Memories came flushing in my mind. How can I forget to remember Dodong?
Siya na may mata ni Piolo, dimple ni Aga, at bigote ni Rex Cortez. He's every woman's dreamboat. I was just starting my tour of duty kay ate noon nang unang makilala ko si Dodong. Contraction worker siya sa ginagawang bahay sa tapat namin. Naging kami for a while then after that were not an item anymore.

"Tanghali na Inday. What did you say we have lunch together?" tanong ni Dodong. "I don't mine." sagot ko.

Sa restaurant, nilapitan kaagad kami ng waiter. "What's your odor sir?" sabi nung waiter kay Dodong.

"Do you have porkshop?" tanong ni Dodong. "Yes sir" sabi nito. "Our porkshop with a resistance to the teeth of boast of our chef. Domestic careful selection of pork with little fat of female liking is used. The exquisite cooking which repeated trial and error and was completed. it also has healthy vegetables with salad feeling fully" dagdag niya.

"And you ma'am?" sabay tingin naman sa akin.

Hmmm... mukhang masarap yung porkshop. Pero I'm cutting down on my carbon kaya pinigilan ko. "I'll just have water, thanks. Liquidate diet ako eh." sagot ko.

Pagkatapos kumain, nagyaya si Dodong manood ng sine. Teka teka, this is going too far. Besides, it's a long, long way to run.

"Reality chess, Dodong. May asawa na ako, si Jay. As a mother of fact, I'm happily married" pagmamalaki ko.

"Di na pwede yung tulad ng dati. Sorry pero I didn't expect you still have more feelings than I expected. i don't want you getting the way. Past is fast. Therefore, cause and defect." dagdag ko pa.

Tumahimik sya. Parang may language barrel na namagitan sa amin. The seconds that passed seemed like fraternity. Di nagla-on, nagsalita na rin sya. "I don't care less!" sigaw ni Dodong.

Shocks, give me a brake! The nerd ng taong ito para sigawan ako! To think it's his other woman that caused our separation to part. Kinabahan na ako.

I felt speedbumps all over my body and was having panic attach. Tinalikuran ko siya at nagmadali akong lumakad palayo. Pero sumunod pa rin siya like a monkey on my butt. Hanggang sa makakita ako ng security guard. Biglang nawala si Dodong.

"Excuse me kuya, pwedeng magtanong?" sabi ko sa mamang guard.

"Of course miss, I can help you with my pleasure." sagot niya.

"Saan po ba ang exit? Could you point me to the right erection? I got lost in my eyes."

“Diretso lang." sabi niya. "Then turn right anytime with care." "Thanks for your corporation" sabi ko.

Buti na lang nandun si kuya. Pero saglit lang, I smell something peachy. As I turned, nakita ko na namang nakasunod si Dodong! Delaying static lang pala kanina ang pag disappear nya.

"Nyahahaha! You can run but you can hide, Inday. No matter where you go, there you are!" pananakot nya.

Oh no, is this the end? This is too much, I feel degradable. My world started falling afar. Then suddenly, Jay come from behind! Dodong was caught to the act! In the matter of minute, it's all over. I'm out of arm's way.

"Thanks Jay, my love. But how did you?" bago pa man ako matapos, sabi niya: "I was in the neighborhood. Fans din ako ni Angel eh. I heard you shout but at first I didn't give it a thought. Pero nang makita ko kayong magkahawak ng holding hands, then i give it a thought. I know something is a missed."

From then on, Dodong did not brother me again. In fact, he didn't even sister me. As in platonic at wala na talaga. Pero kami ni Jay, heto, shoot sailing pa rin ang relationship. Lalo pa ngayon, open na kami sa isa't-isa at walang exhibitions. i feel I'm on cloud.
