TITLE:Psy-wars! Part 1

Have you ever been into a psychological war with strangers? I don’t know about guys, but i bet it does happen with girls.

Everyday, I ride PUV’s to school...jeepneys, fx and if i can’t get an fx, i’d take the bus, but my usual ride was the fx. Everyday i get to sit and squeeze in with strangers in the fx, and almost everyday i get to witness, or experience, the so called PSY-WARS! Now what are these psy-wars? A psy-war is like a cold war either between two passengers or the passenger and the driver, an unspoken conflict occurs between the two persons involved, it could happen after a short discussion and exchange of such words or looks. It’s really hard to explain but once you are there, you’ll know it. The best way to explain it, is by citing examples...haha this is the fun part!

Students, office workers, people on to a gimik or some sort, usual people headed of somewhere for some reason are the people you are stucked with for less than an hour, more than an hour, an hour, half an hour or as long as you reach your destination. Yes, Filipinos are friendly but you don’t expect them to just suddenly chat and mingle with you anyway, this is how the psy-war goes. Hmm where do i start? Let’s start by imagining ourselves seated at the front seat, remember we’re at an fx, 2 people are allowed to seat in front, of course excluding the driver, if two girls are seated in front and both find the space too small for the two of them and one feels uncomfortable, then the other one would start moving irritably and her seatmate would give her a sharp look but would not say anything, and there it is! Presto! The war has begun! For the whole trip both of them would hate whatever the other one is doing!

Now let’s move to the middle seat. Name: the middle seat, capacity: 4 butts. It says four regular people, one time, this really fat and so-so girl was the 4th middle passenger and one has to lean forward, how unfortunate for the other passengers who also paid because this girl here keeps squeezing in, demanding us to move a little more and she suspects that because i was seated near the window that i was not moving when in fact there was absolutely NO MORE space, we’re like sardines already in an fx comparable to a can, old, hot air coming form the ironic aircon and makes this sound whatsoever, she called my attention and told me to move a little more with this look on her face that makes you want to slap her back and forth then kick her a$$,
girl: pwedeng umusog ka ang sikip kasi eh! (pls imagine the face)
me: ah e pwedeng magpapayat ka? (then i rolled my eyes)
and for the whole trip, i guess you know what happened next. Another, when the driver seems to be asking for a much larger fare than your usual ones, another war will wage. This is the frequent conversations:
Manong: ah kulang pa po ng limang piso, nagtaas na po kasi eh.
Pasahero: ano ka? Araw araw ako sumasakay ganito lang binabayad ko.
M: eh sa iba ho yun.
P: bket bawal nga kayo magtaas eh! Cge nga asan ang taripa mo? (note: if you don’t know what taripa is, you have a serious gap in your environmental awareness)
M: edi bumaba na lang kayo!
P: e bat naman ako bababa? Gusto nio i-report ko kayo sa LTFRB?
M: cge i re-port mo! (wow c manong kuno matapang!)
P: o yan na nga yung limang piso mo! Sana yumaman ka! (sarcastic!)
M: nemnem....mnansu...(ah the usual mumbling words that you can’t understand)

So how does this story end? It is when the passenger finally has to step out of the vehicle and upon leaving, slamming the door very hard...ooohhh hurts your ears...and again goes manong mumbling words...

TITLE: PSY-WAR part2

If you think that was the end of it....wait! ‘coz there’s more lot’s more! Hmm oh the cellphone thing..ah the stories seems endless. Ok first, who owns the latest model? This is the usual unspoken psy-war in the fx, when one pulls out a phone from her bag and begins texting, the other should make it a point that the other one sees her phone,especially when hers is a much newer model, that’s not just it she would intentionally text a friend in order to get a reply and let her wav ringtone be heard. Another thing about cellphones, when someone calls, that passenger would talk to the caller in a way as if she was the only passenger,
oh yeah blah blah blah..really? that’s good, oh im on my way na already, so init nga here in the fx oo..
grrr makes my blood boil.
Here’s another example of the psy-war although it does not concern cellphones. Girls usually get irritated when someone keeps looking at them, if it’s a cute guy that’s a different story, but if it’s a girl with the look on a face that makes you want to pull out her eyes. No conversation would happen, just looks, dagger looks. Especially when both you caught each other looking at each other...if you could just say, anong problema mo huh? Sapakan na lang ano?!.. but don’t forget about the boys..no not those cute boys, those typical pervert guys who dresses oddly with blonde highlights and all (about the highlights it depends on the person with it). These are the guys who would keep on helping you even if you are not asking for it, you know repeating every word that you say and comments as if you two know each other and giving you this grin that gives you goosebumps...
me: isa pong ust
drayber: saan tong singkwenta?
Me: ust po
epal guy: ust daw
drayber: saan?
Me:ust po
epal: sa ust daw! (titingin saken) ang hinhin mo kasi magsalita, konting lakas bingi ata si manong (*flahes that..that... smile*)
me: (just a giving a very sarcastic smile) (drayber iaabot ang bayad, bwisit si epal pa ang kukuha abot ko naman)
epal: sukli daw nung ust (smile again)
me: (reach for my change and make it a point that my fingers don’t get in contact with his)

hmm..what else...oh i almost forgot...the pa-sosyals.... you know those people who dress like relatives of bill gates, with all those flashy jewelries, makes you want to snatch it off them, typical robbery victims.. almost all the common passenger hate this kinds, you know when they cover their noses as if they are seated next to garbage and keeps on looking around her, bringing out her fan and annoyingly fan herself continously bugging the aircon directing it to herself but seems to can’t get enough and makes a phone call saying...
elitista: hi dad, im in an fx ryt now eh, mom had to use the car eh, can you like pick me up na lang later? Ok..see yah. (puts down the phone)
elitista: ahmm menong, beyad oh...ahmm sa may morRrRayta leng... (roll the r!)
elitista: sa tebi na leng po menong...parRrRraaa...

more to come...you know i could make another sequel after the other.......
