Yesterday was our yearly Santacruzan. Santacruzan is an event/ a festival held in the Philippines where the participants dress in gowns blah blah blah.
I was supposed to be one of the participants but sadly, I got hooked on finishing a new chapter for my story.I decided to watch it anyway.
And I found out that I’m one of the ‘officer-in-charge’. So the parade started (oh, it was night time) I’m sporting our school jogging pants and a random shirt unlike my comrades who are wearing ‘decent’ clothes.
So it started and saw that my kids joined (I’m also a catechist so I teach the kids here in our neighborhood, and we are really close) They teased me endlessly saying that “Uy, ate. Dapat sumali ka, para partner kayo ni Kuya O or ni Kuya G” I just laughed at their ‘comments’
After a while it started raining. Not much trouble since it’s not really hard. When we’re almost at the church it started raining HARD.
I was still walking with my hand clutching my umbrella ella ella eh eh. And suddenly HE was beside me. He was mumbling a couple of curses. HE WAS WET (because it’s raining and he has no umbrella) He was an escort.
I asked him why he ditched his muse and he answered that “hindi na daw sya kasya sa payong nila” I told him “Ah. So sa tingin mo kasya tayo sa payong ko?” He then got the umbrella out of my hand and said “Edi wag na tayong mag- payong” And we ran to the church while I was singing Check Yes Juliet.
We were running with the kids. Nyahaha. Special moment :)
