Mistaken Identity…
What am I up to nowadays?
I am on my immersion program, I am assigned at one of the barangays in Silang, Cavite to do community organizing with my group mates. I am to know the community’s problems and help them do something about it. I am to live with them for 3 days a week for 1 month. I am now on my second week and so far its going on its smooth sides but I know there will be a lot of rough sides also…
While on our way home, my group mate asked me if I would like to join her for a cup of coffee, and so I, craving for Starbucks in a week or two, easily agreed without thinking that I am still on my community uniform which is a plain white polo shirt with black slacks and black leather shoes. I suggested that we go to Robinsons Ermita because it is on our way…
We left our heavy luggage at the Robinsons Department store baggage counter. Before we go to Starbucks, she said that she’ll just buy something at the Robinsons Supermarket and so, me and my other group mate waited for her outside the supermarket…
While waiting…
Lady: Miss. may iniitay kayo?
Me and my group mate: (looked at each other first) Opo, meron po…
Lady: Ah… (she walked away but immediately turned back at us again…)
Lady: Hindi ba kayo tiga-NESTLE?
Me and my group mate: (looked at each other again…) Ay hindi po…
The lady walked away, without saying nothing…
Me: Grabe ahh… ang mahal ng tuition natin tapos pinapagkamalan lang tayong ganun… hahaha!
My groupmate: Oo nga eh.. haha!
Me: Halika na nga, mag-ID tayo para din a tayo mapagkamalan… hahaha!
then my other group mate arrived… we told her the story then she burst in laughter…
(Do we look like some sales clerk from Nestle? hahah)
One thing I learned from the experience… Don’t stay near the supermarket when I am on my community uniform, if I don’t want to be a victim of some mistaken identity…LOL! (is that even a learning? hahaha)
Honestly, I was pissed off but I can’t do anything but to laugh, laugh really hard until now. LOL!
