ah yes... just when i thought it's safer to come home early i get to experience unwanted incidents. a bit, whatever.
i was walking home the other night, around 9:30pm when yet again i was offered a free tricycle ride passing by me. do i look like i can't manage the short walk? this will be the third time that i was asked to join in because the tricycle is anyway on its way home similar to my street, but the only difference is i don't feel at ease with the driver.
the first two offers i took because the first one was a "suki" driver (tricycle that i always get to ride on regularly going to the mall), the next one i also took because he does look familiar and he really lives just within a mild radius from our house, but this last one? it was driven by a younger guy with another guy behind him and they don't look safe for me.
so i declined the offer.
they kept insisting that it's okay their not to harm me or whatever, but i can't get myself to say yes.. all i did for a number of times was say, "no, thanks, but im fine... and im almost home anyway... thanks again..." and kept walking as calmly but stiff and fast as i could. still they kept insisting, reiterating that i don't have to pay and that they find they're wasting gas if they don't have a passenger with them and would like the company, still i said "NO.THANKS." to my surprise they brought the tricy across the right lane, right in front of me. like that's gonna convince me. the more i said, hard and strong, "NO.get going."
when im almost around the corner they finally gave up, (thank God!), mumbled a few, "fine, don't then." and went on their way. like what was that all about?
the firsts were blessings, this last was stupidly arrogant and scary.
glad to be home safe anyway. GEEZ!

Hello again. Yes, when I was in the Phils it's scary to trust people like that.
Even my mom warned me about trusting random people, and she wouldn't let me go out in public without someone to protect me.
Now for coffee, do you have barista's there who make coffee look pretty? We have heaps of em here and here is a small taste of what they can do: http://pogichinoy.blogspot.com/2007/01/coffee-bitch-coffee-porn-tennis-fashion.html
Oh my. My sister told me something on the TV. Something about a girl being raped by tricycle driver (I hope I'm not sounding too morbid, just concerned). Take care! It's good that you don't trust easily.
buti na lang po nakauwi ka ng bahay ng maayos..
mahirap talaga magtiwala sa mga taong hindi mo kilala.. tsktsk..
kaya ingat ka po lagi. :)
