Really irrelevant and shallow thought for the day: Magaling kaya si Ornussa Cadness mag AutoCAD? Hmmmm… wala lang…
Ok, to snap myself out of my really shallow state of mind…
Our subdivision’s homeowner’s association is a real mess right now… why? Well its because Globe wants to put up a cell site right next to the subdivision’s water tank, they intend to pay the Association 30k for this, the president in his due diligence did the legwork, checking the DENR, the DOH, etc. about the safety of the installation, and it comes out that people’s fears about radiation are really unfounded.
But here’s the thing… the Association president was elected without a quorum in the proceedings, and a lot of people are bummed about it because they are all jockeying for position, so anyway, they go rabblerousing and spread nasty and really dumb rumors about the cell site project.
So anyway, this morning I woke up and walked to the sari-sari store to buy pandesal and get our morning paper. While I was waiting in line, our newspaper dealer, Inday, comes over and asks me…
Inday : “Andoy, pabor ka ba dun sa cell site?”
Leandro : “Uh, oo naman, kailangan nung association yung pera eh”
Inday : “Naku, wag, pag kinabit ng Globe yang cell-site na yan dadami ang kidlat dito sa atin! Sige kayo Andoy, masusunog yung mga computer at gamit niyo…”
Leandro : <dripping with veiled sarcasm> GANUN?!
Inday: “Naku Oo no, tsaka baka hindi na natin magamit yung tubig sa tangke kasi parang xray daw yang cell site eh.”
Leandro : <now flowing with sarcasm and wonder> TALAGA?!
I don’t want to be intellectually arrogant, and it really is sad how shallow and ignorant people can get. As my dad would say… “Masyado kasi maraming genius dito sa Pilipinas eh…”
Yes, shallowness can be really infectious
And Yes… they call me andoy…
