This afternoon, I went to visit Isetann, Cubao just to buy a couple of personal things I need for myself. After isetann, I went to visit a mall nearby just to relax and have something for snacks before returning to UST. While there at the lobby, I saw many people gathering - I presumed there was a quarrel, hindi pala, they were viewing or I should say listening to one middle-aged lady singing a videoke tune. Lumapit ako at umupo sa isang chair, maganda rin naman ang boses nung ale.
The people seem to appreciate the singing talent of the lady, marunong naman talagang kumanta. In front of me, there were 2 young ladies who were also listening. I found out that one of them ay anak pala noong kumakanta. Hearing their conversation, her friend said, "ang galing-galing talagang kumanta ng mommy mo, ang taas ng boses...parang si Whitney Houston!" The daughter, apparently unfazed by the lavish praise of her friend sa mommy niya, nagkibit lang siya ng balikat at ang sabi, "well, ok lang...salamat...eh kaya naman talagang abutin ng nanay ko ang mataas na kanta....eh kasi naman, pagising niya tuwing umaga, laging tumataas ang boses sa kasisigaw sa aming magkakapatid...."
Natawa ako at sa aking pagtawa, nabitawan ko yung coke-in-can, and the liquid spilled on the floor. The two ladies noticed it and the daughter of the singer asked, "Mister, napano ka?" I answered, "wala, nagandahan lang ako sa boses ng nanay mo, parang si Jaya (Ramsey)". The daughter gave me a tiger look, as I went on my way fast...hehe.
