CHAPTER 13
AVOIDING THE UNPRETTY


Narrator: As for Erich and her two other friends, Denise and Brenda, walking…

Erich: (looking around) Akala ko wala masyadong tao dito on a weekday.

Denise: Sa Friday night hanggang sa buong weekend, punong puno ditto.

Brenda: Yeah. This is nothing compared to that.

Erich: Ganun ba?

Brenda: Yep, even the Block.

Erich: ‘Ba siempre oo. Kahit anong araw, basta madaming tao sa gabi.

Brenda: Oh that’s right. Ng tira ka sa Fullerton.

Erich: Yeah pero malayo ako sa the Block.

Narrator: A moment later, the three girls approached Rubios where Erich noticed a familiar Filipino dude sitting across another familiar Filipino girl in one of the outside tables beside the entrance. Brenda started noticing them also.

Brenda: Hey… (as she takes a closer look at them laughing with one another) Si Aaron ba yan?

Erich: (frowning) Oo.

Denise: Siya bang ex mo, Erich?

Erich: Basta, hindi na siyang boyfriend ko.

Brenda: Yan ata yun girlfriend niya, yun sexy na bingi.

Denise: Bakit mukhang inchek yun kasama ang ex ni Erich?

Brenda: (notices the girl leaning toward him trying to understand what he’s telling her) Kita mo? Mas mukha pang tanga yun girlfriend niya kesa sa bingi.

Denise: (in disgust) Pangit naman siya eh. Kawawa naman si Erich.

Erich: Guys, wag na tayo magusapan ‘to. Tara na

Denise: Sure.

Narrator: So without looking, the three girls quicky passed by Aaron and his girlfriend, who continued talking to each other while eating.

Meanwhile inside my house as me, Koji, and Uncle D-Nort were all drinking beer…

Jay: Come on, Kobe! (as he dribbles the bal with Bowen guarding him)

D-Nort: To Bynum! (as Kobe passes ball to Bynum, the starting center splitting the defense of Duncan and Oberto for a monster slam)

Jay: Yes!! Good job, Bynum!

Koji: He should make it to the All Star game this year, ah?

D-Nort: Mmm… give him one more year.

Jay: One more year? He’s almost at his prime now, don’t you think?

D-Nort: Yeah but you should give him more time to develop.

Jay: That’s true.

Koji: Aww c’mon! (as we noticed Finley making an open layup, leaving Bynum and the other Lakers standing around)

D-Nort: Oh GOSH! Der’s no DEFENSE!

Jay: Shit we’re still down by 14. (as the scoreboard read 77 – 63 led by the Spurs under 7 minutes remaining in the third quarter)

Narrator: I drank my Coors beer afterwards.
