Karma is a reclining bus seat

Last weekend was a blast. I had fun lolling around in Zambales with my brunas. It was an adventure, straight out of a Mexican flick. Well, the mini non-airconditioned bus-ride we took to Candelaria anyway (we had to transfer buses). The scenery outside was reminiscent of that bus ride Ugly Betty took during her trip to Mexico with Hilda. As in I half expected chickens to start running across the aisle chasing fruits that fell out of the crate of some fruit vendor. Wehehe and the bus had wooden seats! And my seat happened to be right above the bus' engine. I felt my flipflops struggling not to melt.

Anyway, will blog about it as soon as I upload the photos. In the meantime, check out my travel blog, Moo With Me. Yes shameless plug. I wrote about Siquijor. :D

Proof karma exists:

We transferred buses in Olongapo City to get to Pasay. There was a slightly long queue at the ticket booth and my friends and I were chatting animatedly about something. We went to stand behind the person we thought came before us--we were mistaken because apparently the line was not really a line. It took a curve right behind that person.

We were not aware of this until this really horrible woman wearing a large gold tacky headband and an even larger brown hair clamp announced rather loudly, "Hoy Miss, dito ang pila."

She could've been nicer. It wasn't like we cut in line intentionally, we were just not aware about it. She did not have to be rude nor did she have to raise her overplucked eyebrows and roll her red, bloodshot eyes at us! Hmmm...maybe she was just tired. Haha anyway, we just said 'ok' and fell in line behind her. She was really seething, which was amusing. Wonder what was eating her?? LOL

So there I was thinking I wouldn't be seeing her again anytime soon. But the moment I stepped onto the bus and located seat number 26, lo and behold, who would be sitting in seat 27 but Gold Headband Brown Clamp Lady!

I had to pass through her and I swear it wasn't intentional (it wasn't! it wasn't!) but my bag hit her face! I mumbled my apologies (hey it wasn't that hard, wag siyang mag-inarte!) and went to take my seat beside her thinking all the while that *slightly evil laugh here* karma really existed!

Karma proved to be a bitch.

If getting hit on the face with a bag wasn't bad enough, Gold Headband Brown Clamp Lady placed her drink on the pouch behind the seat in front of her and was in the middle of adjusting its cap (it was a large treat she bought for herself from McDonalds waha) when suddenly, the man in front of her fully reclined his seat!

Out poured half the amount of her large Coca Cola drink onto her faded blue jeans!

The expression her face took was a classic. As in, WTF?!

I had to look directly out the window, find something remotely interesting (anything!) to distract myself and keep me from bursting out into laughter. As in I think I nearly had a heart attack. The moment she stood up to go to the rest room, I laughed til my sides ached. I didn't even care that people were looking--some were laughing right along with me. Ah, schadenfreude! But it didn't last long, I had to stop. Maybe she was just having a bad day...haha

Anyway. There you have it folks. Proof karma DOES exist and will bite you in the ass. Or in her case, pour half your favorite soda onto your, well, it was probably her favorite pair of jeans.

So be NICE! :D
