Stories Before the Fiesta
Just decided to post..walang magawa e. I haev weird experiences 'di pa dumadating yung pista dito. Mind if I share some?
Tindera ng Sabungan
I wasn't that thrilled that I was ordered na maging bantay nung store sa sabungan namin. Mahal talaga ang mga bilihin pag may sabong dito sa Passi. I had a little fun playing Tindera. Saying "Ano po yung sa inyo?" and exchanging pennies! I was with Angel. And we were supposed to be going out with my taekwondo friends para pumuntang perya. But my Dad insisted me to stay and guard the stockpile of cigars and softdrinks. We sold coke for P15 and beer for P25! 'Di ba ang mahal naman?! But Dad said it was the rule of the cockfight store owners.
It was a fine experience. I saw dead chickens nga lang, tinatahi pa yung mga sugat. Kawawa naman. I hate bloods! Tinignan namin ni Angel yung nasa cockpit! It was her first time na makapanood ng actual na sabong. I grew up with the chickens. Our house was just 3-5 steps away from the sabungan that's why.
Voices sa Gabi
Last night, I had this weird feeling about the quiteness of the night. Something was really telling me that I should get somebody by my side that night.
In the past few weeks, Angel was complaining that she saw something dun sa may sabungan. It was a lady in white...bata pa ata. Waaaaah! I told her that there are roaming spirits in our place. But I never saw or felt one ever since...since last night...
I went home at about 10pm. Nanggaling ako sa perya. Sumakay kami nung Horror Train at linait pa nga ng mga kasama ko yung mga nagpapanggap na aswang. And it was hilarious! Kasi napikon sila. Yeah I know they shouldn't have done that. I went home, quite sleepy. I watched PBB celeb Edition. I changed to my pajamas. It was about 11:30pm that night when I felt scared. I transfered to my Dad...dun sa room namin. Dun kasi siya natulog. I was surrounded by pillows. Confident that No one could come near me and that no one would disturb my beauty sleep. Then suddenly...
There were voices...umiiyak sila. I felt the chill! They were about my brother's age. Tapos parang nag-aaway sila. Then I covered my ears. I could not believe it! I mean I never felt such fright before. I never experienced it naman e. Still I could hear the noise. Sabi ko "Ano ba 'to! Matutulog na ako! Please leave me alone!". I put my hands together and began praying 3 I believe in God's, 3 Our Father's, 3 Hail Mary's and 3 Glory Be's. Then it left me for a while. Bumalik ulit! Ang gulo! I wrapped myself sa comforter! Then began tapping my Dad's shoulder. I said "Daddy, narinig mo yun?" nagising yung Dad ko. He said, "Yung alin? Wala naman akong naririnig kundi puro tunog ng fan ah?". Sabi ko, "Hindi, meron talagang umiiyak! Daddy, hindi ako makatulog. Bata, umiiyak siya! Mukhang dalawa o tatlo sila. Basta maraming voices! Nag-aaway!". Dad told me to pray. So I slept with both hands held together tightly--praying really hard so that whaterver it is out there would let me sleep.
Then at about 3am I woke up again. I felt something kasi. Then suddenly I felt wet! My Dad took the Holy Water and showered me! Then I slowly closed my eyes. After that, I slept tightly, leaving me with no worries or troubles. Certain that no one would bug me again. My Dad was praying pala habang natutulog ako. Naaawa nga ako sa kaya kasi 'di siya nakatulog ng mahimbing dahil sa mga wake up calls ko. He was praying the whole night.
