Who says MRT rides can’t be fun? 😉

Last night, on my way home, I was amused by an overheard convo of 2 girls and a badingerzie. They were talking about music and I couldn’t help but get reeled in.

Girl 1: Like grabe! I love Mariah Carey talaga! She’s da bam! (The bomb… wow, that’s so late 90’s ha)
Girl 2: Grabe sizzz! I love her, too!
Bading: I love her more!!! Teka nga, bakit ba E = MC2 ang title ng album niya? (Sorry, I can’t make the 2 become small and go to the upper right of C.)
Girl 2: Basta scientific ‘yun.
Girl 1: MC, Mariah Carey!
Bading: Eh yung E?
Girl 1: Energy? (Nice try, but no.)
Girl 2: EINSTEIN? (Putangina, ilayo niyo ito sa’kin, masasaksak ko’tong mujer na ‘to!)
Me: Sorry ha, maka-butt in lang… E means Emancipation. Remember her previous album? The Emancipation of Mimi?
Bading: Aaaaayyyy… oo nga noh? Ok, thanks! O girls, narinig niyo ‘yun? Emancipation daw!
Girl 2: Eh baket squared?
Bading: Ask na lang natin si Miss. Miss?
Me: To the second power… kasi sequel of some sort po nung album na namention ko…
Bading: Ah ok! Thanks po!

Approaching Guadalupe…

Girl 2: Oo nga pala! Narinig niyo ba ‘yung bagong version ng APOLOGY?
Girl 1: Anong Apology?
Girl 2: Ano ba! Ang popular kaya nun bakit hindi mo alam?!?!?! Apology ng One Republic! (Sabi nang ilayo niyo sa’kin itong babaeng ito eh! Makakaladkad ko ‘to!!!!!)
Bading: Paano ‘yun? (Paano malalaman eh Apology nga daw!)
Girl 2: Hindi ako marunong kumanta! (‘Wag ka na ring magsalita. Bruha ka.)

Approaching Boni…

Me: Uhhh… sorry ha. Pet peeve ko lang kasi talaga ‘to eh. APOLOGIZE ang title. Baka ngayon maisip niyo na ang lyrics…

Sakto. The doors opened and I left hurriedly. Feeling ko kasi mamamatay na ako or makakapatay na ako kung manatili pa ako dun kahit isang saglit.

Pakialamera na kung pakialamera. Harsh na kung harsh.

At least may dagdag kaalaman sila.

May the music gods bless them.
