Have you ever done or say something crazy while your mind is afloat, as if you're physically present but mentally absent? Especially when you are tired, lack sleep or are preoccupied with things and you don't pay attention to words, things and people around you? That we called in the Philippines,'Lutang Moments!'
I know we all have our lutang moments and we laugh hard when we remember such events. And let me share mine as these are the ones I will never forget!
The hotel key card isn't working
This happened at The Garcia Resort, which is the hotel we stayed in in Turkey. So we eat out that night and went to Amusement Park we're the kids enjoy the rides and games, spend a lot to top up the card and buy tokens to keep them happy. As usual, I'm the runner so I got tired and ask the husband if I and Tia can go back to the hotel as I need sleep. The husband says yes if I insist and get us in the taxi. So we were in the hotel, we walk to our room, grab the key card and the door won't open. I keep trying and trying and it's not working!
So I and Tia went on to the reception area told the staff that my key card isn't working. I'm a little sound unhappy because I go home to rest and then all of a sudden I can't get in our room. She asks for the card and so I give it to her. She smiled at me and said, "It's not going to work as it is the amusement park's top-up card!"
Oh sh*t I wish to disappear! Of course, it's not going to work. 🤣🤣🤣
Love you na po!
This happened in the Philippines, I did overtime at work and went home late. I was messaging my husband and when I was about to get off the jeepney (public transportation) I shouted at the driver, "Love you na po!" when I want to say is "Para na po!" The driver shouted back, "Agad agad?!" 🤣🤣🤣
Everyone is looking at me, laughing. 😂
Daisy
So the first lockdown during the pandemic, I make myself busy painting all the gates and window sills in the house. And since we're on the lane I see everyone walking with their dogs. We exchange our hi's and hello. And there's one specific woman that loves to talk to me and to Tia too. Tia even told her that she wants a dog too but she wants a pink one! I don't know her but I know the name of the dog, Daisy you call her.
One day after our groceries shopping heading home, and while I'm staring blankly at the window of our car, my husband told me, there's your friend and so I wave at her and shouted, "Hello Daisy!" Then I realized Daisy is the dog lol. 😂
I took off my underwear
This happened in Turkey in September last year. So we went out shopping and went to a bar after. I'm exhausted because of the long walks and standing while negotiating with stuff we bought and since the massage spa is just in the corner, I told my husband that I'm getting a massage. The bar has an area for kids so Tia and Jigz are playing with Chloe so it's okay for me to go for an hour.
At the spa, since I had already been there on our first day, they knew me already. They have the best Turkish Bath and I had a very good massage. But since it's late I don't know who's in. So I went inside and just tell the owner, a very nice man, Duran, that I want a 1-hour massage and ask me something but since my head is away so I just nod my head and say yes.
So he told me I can go and change. I know already what to do. I went to the locker/changing room. Take my clothes off and wrap a towel around me. I put all my belongings in the locker and get the key. I went to the massage room and lay down comfortably, waiting for the masseuse. I hope it's the same woman because she's the best I've ever had.
As I lay down there, the masseur came in! It's a man. Although I know him as he did the Turkish Bath for my husband and son. And you know what? As he was about to begin I realized that I have no underwear on! And how did I do that, I didn't know? I hurriedly get up and run to the locker room but I forgot the key so I go back to the massage room and say sorry while getting the key. 🤣 And there I put my knickers on. For goodness sake, he might be thinking I'm up to something lol. And so I came back with my undies on telling I just message the husband. 😅
And lol, I ask for a massage but I was surprised I got a sensual massage hahaha. 🤣
And there you go, I can't remember the rest of my crazy stuff. But I hope that made you smile.
