Neighbor from Hell

I have kwento that I need to get out of my chest kasi sobrang bwisit na bwisit talaga ako.

After work today, Alvin and I went to my family's house in Moonwalk because Alvin will try to fix the fuse box there. Then after fixing it, Faye went with us outside to see us off. When we got out of the gate, there was this lady (in her i think 40s) wearing a tight, black spaghetti strap top and jeans stading outside our house. (not a very nice sight, mind you... in short, MASAGWA!)

LADY: You know you shouldn't block the driveway!

(Their house is in front of ours)

I looked over where Alvin parked the car and saw that it was parked in front of OUR DRIVEWAY. Nahirapan atang ipasok yung car truck nila sa garahe nila. Yes, may truck sila that they park inside their garage in their house which is inside a private subdivision.

ME: Ma'am, you should have knocked na lang po sa house namin so that...

I was supposed to say: so that we can move our car if you're having a hard time parking your car inside.

I wasn't finished talking yet pero she turned her back at me and said: "NEVER MIND!"

Punyeta! Bastos na frog!!!!!!

So I said to her retreating back: "We're parked naman IN FRONT OF OUR HOUSE ah! What's wrong with that?!"

She said something but I didn't hear because I went inside na the car.

And then, when we were on our way home, I realized I forgot my phone so we went back.

When Faye went out to hand me my phone, she said: "Ate sabi nung kausap mo nung pagsakay mo ng car, ang yabang mo daw. As in sinisigaw niya pa. Binalibagan ko nga ng pinto e!"

Ay, sosyalerang frog ako pero pag may mga taong ganyan, lumalabas talaga ang pagkajologs ko! I was in my If-You-Want-War-I'll-Give-You-War mode! Ang kapal ng mukha ng MASHONDAng yun!

Inaabangan ko nga lumabas ng bahay nila, hindi na naman lumabas. Kamoteng frog!!

She's so weird! Kinausap ko naman siya ng maayos. I even called her Ma'am kahit mukha siyang Tribal Fish. Pero ang bastos kausap.

Alvin said: "Babe baka natakot kasi akala rarat-ratin mo ng English. Ayaw ma-nose bleed."

Well anyway, leche siya. Wag na patulan ang mga lower species like her.

Pero sinira niya gabi ko ha..

Note: We have been living in that house since 1982. Therefore, we all know each other there and walang animosity between neighbors. Mukhang bagong lipat lang yung frog na yun kaya ganun umasta. Pakker siya.
