Bata pa lang ako, may mga senyales na ng aking, uhmmm, inquisitive nature. Read: usisera. Back when I was in Grade 2, ninakawan ang simbahan sa tabi ng school that I was attending. The thieves (I assumed na plural kasi mahihirapan kung mag-isa lang) stole the ornate silver panels decorating the altar. See the gilded gold altar? That's where the silver panels used to be.

If I remember it right, half day lang ang pasok, but instead of waiting for the school bus, my friend (who's also "inquisitive") and I proceeded to the church, and fancying ourselves to be little Nancy Drews, we did our own investigation.
Umakyat kami sa altar and checked the area where the silver panels were.We peered on every nook and cranny. Kulang na lang fingerprinting kit and magnifying glasses. Alas! Our skills as sleuths were microscopic to nil and we did not yield any significant findings, well, other than our logical conclusion that there was more than one person who did the job. *We were positively Sherlockian!*
Di namin napansin, matagal-tagal na rin pala kaming nag-i-imbestiga. When we finally left the church, mag-a-alas dos na. Naiwan na ako ng school bus. Wala akong pamasahe pauwi. Buti na lang my friend kindly lent me money for my fare. If you think that was the end of my woes brought about by my pagka-usisera, NOOOOO!!! While walking pababa ng church patio, NADAPA ako sa sigaan (bonfire ng basura). BUT WAIT, that's not all. Pagbagsak ko, tumama yung tuhod sa nagbabagang eggshells. *Lord, eto ba ang karma?!* Hay, hanggang ngayon meron akong bente-singko sa tuhod.
Lesson: Huwag tatanga-tanga!
Ha Ha Ha Natawa ako dun sa benre singko

Ni-try ko na cebo de macho, Contractubex, etc., to no avail.
DeleteHindi ako makacatch up sa pagbabgo sa blog mo Mother! Hahaha Blue and red naman ngayon. Medyo na-nose-bleed lang ako sa tagline mo.. pagmatalino the! hahahaha
ReplyDeleteNancy Drew!!! Favorite ko yung books niya dati. What I can't understand though, I have classmates who were laughing about my addiction to Nancy Drew series. Love ko si Sweet Valley pero mas na-attach ako kay Nancy Drew at BabySitters Club. As for the kwento, all the more I realize na duwag at matatakutin akong bata nun hahaha Takot ako sa matatanda at mapagalitan.
Ano kasi, bored ako sa files ko, so paminsan-minsan, pag naiinip na ng todo, I tweak the template. Re tagline, hello, dati pa yan...di totoo yan. Mema lang. Ahahahahahaha!
DeleteRe Sweet Valley vs Nancy Drew, so true. I tried naman, pero medyo bored ako sa Sweet Valley. Hehehe, alam mo ang inabutan ko pang Nancy Drew eh yung mga hardbound na mala-vintage ang drawing, though obviously, hindi pa "vintage" yun nung panahon na yun.
Hardbound? Classic nun :) Sa akin naman paperback na, pero sa school library naalala ko eh hina-hardbound nila para daw matibay.. pero no need kasi ilan lang naman kami nagbabasa haha
DeleteAng kauna-unahang Nancy Drew I read ay yung Secret of the Old Clock. :)
DeleteShe was decades ahead of Lara Croft in discovering something in a clock. :)
Cute ng "cover page" mo or whatever you call it. Galing mo talaga.
ReplyDeleteI can't claim any credit kasi I just used a site that makes monograms for weddings to generate that. :) But still, thank you!
DeleteHahaha! Classic naman itong story mo. I'm amazed at the details that you still remember up to this day! Sulat ka na ng book! =)
ReplyDeleteI love the font you used for TPS. Love ko yan. Ganyan din yung font sa Crane & Co. notecards that I like =)
Siguro kasi may peklat na nagpapaalala sa akin. :)
DeleteMine too!!! It's "Chevalier Stripes". Remember you gave me a box of notecards na may monogram? Ganyang font din ang ginamit mo. :)
