We all had this lutang moments that we don't really know what we are about to do or we lost our state of being that we do things that later embarrassed us in front of other people. I know we all had that, and let me tell you mine!
Jeepney embarrassing moments with Meyzee.
It was when my project was around Antipolo City Philippines way back 2018, I would travel, from Quezon City to Antipolo, if you are living around these area, you would know how far that is and the road is always congested. I would travel thrice a week, from my rented apartment to cubao, then I will ride on the train to Santolan then I will ride another jeepney to shopwise antipolo and then I will take the tricycle to go to my project jobsite. And you see I am super haggard! Lol. I will travel for 2.5 hrs in the morning and 4hrs in the afternoon (road is heavily traffic at nights) . And you know how exhausted it is, so in the morning, I always sleep during my travel. And the thing was, I was, half awaken, by the kundoktors words "Oh, shopwise shopwise, antipolo, tanay!". And without looking outside I immediately went down. And to my embarrassment, I was still too far from my destination. Ugh. I try to ride again, but that jeepney was 'effin fast to go! I blame the nap I took, haha, so in my 3 weeks of travel, I felt so exhausted, and decided to sleep on the jobsite even I was the only girl on the site, well glad, there were still people 'men' that are good, and there are free foods in the morning. Lol.
Another one, was when, I was paying the jeepney fair, I would say it like,
"Manong para po" but I am paying! Not that I wanted to go down. And everyone was looking at me like I was an alien. Probably saying 'Oh, this idiot.' Haha
Have you also find yourself feeling like a tower in the jeepney? I did it many times, like I was in the living room forgetting that they weren't roof. Damn that hurts!
My butt kissing the floor
I was in 5th year college then, you know wearing long skirt, I find it uncomfortable, but yeah, I still wore it the entire, college. My friends and I was walking around. I was a shy student in college and I always have this bangs of hair on my face, hiding my eyes. Making it hard for me to noticed gaps and steps, plus my eyesight is unclear. I am a nearsighted. I still laugh whenever I am remembering this one. So the thing was, my class will start about 5 pm in the afternoon. And you know that it was the out of most of the students, aligning on the sidewalk are the lower years and the other student of different course, so on our way to our classroom RM101 I missed the first two step of the walkway. The thing when you thought you're about to land on the right step but, you fell on the ground, my skirt slit extended about twice its normal cut.
And everyone went silent and stop from what they were doing, talking and look at me. And I am the first one to laugh though I wanted to cry because my toes and butt hurts. And then my friends laugh along with me. And I feel like I wanted to be eaten alive by the earth crusts. And God knows how I wanted that to happen.. And from then on until now, I still missed some of the steps! Haha. But I know now to balance my body as I don't fell on the ground. But still...
1020 kids play
I will keep mentioning this. Lol. As I was so embarrassed about it. I don't know where I shared this but I think I have. It was when, I was first year highschool. Lloyd the asshole, will be happy to read this, because the bastard keeps teasing me until college. The generation back then, is still late that instead of playing volleyball we play 10 20. And at first I didn't know, that I don't wear shorts. Just undies. Wth. Haha. And when we are level 4 around waist level, and I was the one who is jumping at 100 my skirts fly ending me up like a ballerina. Lol. Showing my legs and undies. I am glad were playing in our classroom. Or it will be a total disaster if we did that outside. And I am glad I was young back then!
I still has many crazy moments to share but not these extremes. Like, laughing on meetings, though everyone is serious. That was when I am so bored at the meeting and I start to scroll facebook and I chuckled. Everyone looks at me. Glad my friend was a savior! She pinched me.
Or when I was about to take home food from my uncle's burial. And my aunt saw me. They say its prohibited.
Or when someone gave me food and I gave it to one of my workers. But the one who gave it to me, saw me giving it to others. Haha. I was just so afraid with kulam. I grew up believing it does exist. Specially when I am not in my hometown.
How about you what are the most embarrassing moments you did during your lutang self? Or unintentionally?
I hope my story made you laugh! Though, the market is red!
