On Robbers and Pesky Kids on the Street

Scene 1:

Ninong Roy and I were driving off to UST for Alvin's grad recital. Nearly 3pm, the traffic was heavy. As long as it matters by Gin Blossom was playing on the background and we were trying to busy ourselves humming to the tune because we were starting to get pissed off. We need to get there by 3pm. There came a boy trying to wash the windows of Roy's car. Ninong politely asked him to stop because he doesn't have coins to give him. He pretended not to hear him. Ninong spoke the same words. The reply came as shock:

Boy: "Fuck you ka! P*%*#@ M*! Pag di mo ko binigyan babasagin ko tong bintana mo"

And then there was silence.

Scene 2: (Same day)

6:30 pm, Alvin and I were rushing to Trinoma after his recital. We agreed on eating at our favorite Taco Bell that's why we starved ourselves even if there was a lot to chow down on his after recital mini celebration. The thing was, it was raining very hard that day that it caused an even heavier traffic in the evening. The streets were already flooded by the time we were able to ride a jeepney. We had no other choice but to ride a jeep since the streets were already jampacked with people trying to get a ride. Alvin was in such relief, at last he managed to perform very well in his recital. He oh-so deserved his "Flat 1" grade. The jeepney was crowded, people were compressed.

Ending of scene 1: Ninong's car got a lot of scratches made by that pesky boy

Ending of scene 2: Alvin's Samsung cellphone was stolen. (It was in his pocket, a robber successfuly managed to get it without Alvin's knowing)

To these people. Stop getting a life out of other people's expense. We all need something and we never get it the easy way. We have to work hard for it. And it doesn't include working hard to get other people's possession and claim it as your own. And to that pesky kid, do yourself a big favor, CHANGE NOW. Unless you want to be a full grown ROBBER like the one who stole Alvin's phone.
