Twelve In A Row Part 5

The Motor bike Man

The three of us complained of foot ache due to extreme fatigue.  We had  been walking for miles and were getting to nowhere and seemed the time runs so fast.

Elia decided to call her friend to make sure we're on the right tract. We crossed the road and asked the two   guys for the station bound to Daruna Nu Kroh. They pointed left and right so this time I made sure I understood everything. I got my lesson at the Victory Monument. Do you remember?  We followed their instruction exactly without missing any point and at last we're now standing at the right place.They were of great help!

We waited for sometime but it seemed not any single  trace of pick- up as well as passengers except us in this place.  Under the bridge were parked motorcycles  and drivers enjoying their hammock tied between trees swinging back and forth. The motor cycle driver was intelligent and sensible. He offered for a ride  and his rent  but he has to have a company  to drive us since his cute motorcycle was built only for maximum of two passengers.We agreed for the payment  of 200 Baht and ( they will share) they brought us there. It was only twenty-minute ride!

Elia and I reached the place before Koko so, I gave the man the amount we agreed before we started but now  he was asking for 20 Baht additional. I didn't give any cent because we already agreed with no extra charge.

Elia and I waited for Koko and got inside to meet the priest.

Have you come across with such situation?

What's next ??

Another Disturbing Text!

My heart was joyously pumping when I read the text message sent to me by this number 63 9094883389.

Obviously a text from the Philippines as it was evident in the country code.

Here's the text.

Congrats! Ur SIM # had won the Php.950,000.00 Thru electric raffle draw,Frm Aquino foundation. Pls. call me now. I'm atty. Rhea I. Mendez Info. dept. Banko Sentral ng Pilipinas...

Upon reading  it, I know it's  unbelievable. How can just anyone win without buying the lottery ticket?And I didn't join any Philippine raffle for that matter! This is a big  lie!

This wasn't the only time I got a text like this. My mom,too got one and was flabbergasted.At first my mom and I   responded to the text in our hope we'll have the said amount' till such time the sender wanted my bank account and some other relevant information but at the end we ignored that mouth watering amount.

Have you got one? Maybe even the President had one?.Lol!

How easy   my life could be if that's the case.Then I would just sit at home and enjoy every moment without lifting any finger.

Lesson: Nothing is free in this world. This is impossible!

Another Double-Dealer

We were getting late for our appointment  but we couldn’t just waste our money to another double- dealer.

We almost toured around the market when we saw another pick-up. We were  hoping he isn’t a kin of that  beguiler man.

As I was the one who can speak Thai fluently, it was then  my duty to inquire and to bargain.  Before I could complain ,the two pushed me near  the pick-up.  I hesitantly asked the man for a ride but unfortunately he was bound to another side of the globe.  Lol!  In his hope to gain more money , he  persuaded us  for a single trip of 400Baht. It would mean 800Baht for  two ways.   It seemed that  as we walked  farther the more these  double dealers wanted to milk us.

We were on the go when we heard him in his coaxing  tone ,” Ao mai nu? Mai mee rot laew na. Tur atjai pai mai tahn nad kadai na.” (Do you want to take  a ride ? There’s no available trip and you might be late in your appointment.”  I smiled and  said in my gracious humor, “ Thank you, uncle and never mind.  There’s nothing  to worry about.”( the priest  will be in the church anyway.)

Another treacherous man!

Did we make a wrong decision to turn down the offer of the first man? What shall we do? Take it or leave it?

Happy wandering  with us…….To Daruna Nu Kroh.

A Reply To Man's Query

 To the women out there, do you agree with this?

Man says to God:  "God, why did you make woman so beautiful?"
God says:  "So you would love her."
Man says to God: "But God," the man says, "why did you make her so dumb?"
God says:  "So she would love you."

The Pick-up Driver1

Early Sunday morning at six, we(Elia,Koko,Me) walked to the market to get a "Song tew" pick-up truck  to Daruna Church for an appointment with the priest.

We had been walking for a long distance but we couldn't see any "Song tew " around. Elia was happy to spot one. I presumed the man, shaving his beard with his mouth tilted infront of a tiny mirror   was the driver. "Kothot na ka, Kun loong ka, Rao ja pai Daruna Nu Kroh . Tae rao tawng nag rot tee nai dee ka?'' ( Excuse me. Uncle ,were going to Daruna Nu Kroh. Where shall we take a ride?) Uncle put down his blade and told us there weren't  any trip today since it was a Sunday.I decided to ask his car rent but it seemed to us that he over priced. He suggested for 300 Baht per trip. Quickly my brain did the calculation.

 Oh, uncle must be  taking advantage for there were no other cars available yet. We thanked him and left. After a few steps I looked back and saw him shaving. Hehehe. I'm used to dealing with people like him.

Who's In Dominion?

Who's under your dress?

There were three guys talking in the pub. Two of them are talking about the amount of control they have over their wives, while the third remains quiet.

After a while one of the first two turns to the third and says,

"Well, what about you, what sort of control do you have over your wife?"

The third fellow says "I'll tell you. Just the other night my wife came to me on her hands and knees."

The first two guys were amazed. "What happened then?" they asked.

"She said, 'Get out from under the bed and fight like a man'."
