Sunshine Stories

on the way to a picnic last saturday, naligaw kami. may dalawang kotseng nakasunod sa amin at walang ni isa na may dalang mapa. puro puno at mga highway na mahaba na walang tao ang nakita namin kakahanap sa Baker Road. At one point, pumara kami ng driver para itanong yung daan pero pagkatapos nun, nagmadali lahat ng mga kotse at nagkawalaan kami.

kanino kaya kami magtatanong na tama ang ibibigay na direksyon? iba iba kasi ung sinasabi namin pero isang oras na at nasa loob na kami ng gubat e wala pa ring lumalabas na farm. mauubos na nga yung gasolina namin eh. Nung nakakita kami ng police car sa isang far away neighborhood, sobrang desperado na si Stela Matutina from Tanzania kaya ang sabi niya,

"Let’s follow that car and ask him!"

Pero ayaw ni Laura. "We can’t follow the police until he gets home, you know. He might think we’re stalking him!"

Kung sa bagay, san ka nga naman nakakita ng civilian na sumusunod sa pulis para lang magtanong ng direksyon. Malay ba namin kung san pupunta ung pulis na yun diba?

Laura was frustrated because we were so lost and she did not know what to do. Nasa Albany na kami by this time at ilang highway na ang nalampasan namin. She said if we did not find it, she’ll just treat us at Dairy Queen then we will go home. Ako naman, I was her cheerleader. I was not concerned at all whether we get to the picnic or not or if we were lost. Im poor at directions myself and I was not the driver so the best thing was to tell both of them we’ll find our way somehow.

And fortunately, that got us through the day. We found the right road after one hour. Bumawi na lang kami sa pagkain at masaya kaming umuwi.
