Sa isang mall sa Makati…
TV Patrol Reporter: Sa nalalapit na election, maraming pangalan ang naglalabasan bilang standard bearer ng iba’t ibang partido. Nandyan si Mar Roxas, Manny Villar, Ping Lacson, at Loren Legarda. Minabuti ng inyong lingcod na magikot-ikot at magtanong sa taong-bayan kung sino ba and karapat-dapat na maging susunod na pangulo ng Pilipinas?
Dadaan ang mga amo ni Inday. Di kalayuan papalapit si Junior at si Inday na nakaunipormeng pangkatulong.
TV Patrol Reporter: Sir, Mam. Pwede po ba naming kayong mainterview?
Mga Amo ni Inday: Please spare us. Yung katulong na lang naming ang interbyuhin mo. Hindi ka mapapahiya dyan.
Titingnan ng mabilis mulo ulo hanggang paa si Inday na tila nagaalangan pero nasabi sa sarili ‘ Sige na nga!.’
TV Patrol Reporter: Miss, pwede ka ba naming mainterview?
Inday: Sure, why not!
TV Patrol Reporter: Aba, Inglesera ang loka! Miss, heto ang tanong ko. Sa iyong opinion, sino ang karapat-dapat na maging presidente ng Pilipinas sa 2010, si Mar Roxas, Loren Legarda, Manny Villar o Ping Lacson?
Inday: I think it is too early to tell who will be the next leader of this corrupt-ridden nation. The names you just mentioned sound exciting but for now, I couldn’t tell you yet who deserves my vote. BUT …I do have parameters in choosing my next president which I would like to share to everyone watching your news show.
Inday: I believe that the next leader of our country must possess the following characteristics: he/she must have the leadership qualities and popularity of President Ramon Magsaysay, he/she must have the intelligence of President Ferdinand Marcos, he/she must have the charisma of President Corazon Aquino, he/she must have the diligence of President Fidel Ramos and President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, and the most important characteristic the next president must posses is he/she must have the integrity and patriotism of Jose Rizal and Jovito Salonga.
Napatingin si reporter sa mga amo ni Inday
Mga Amo ni Inday: O, ano? Nawindang ka no?
On Relativism and Disagreement
Narinig ni Ederlyn na nagtatawanan si Inday at Dodong habang kinakain nila ang nilutong Paella ni Inday kaya dumaan sya sa harap ng dalawa at nagparinig…
Ederlyn: Hoi Dodong! Ambabaw mo talaga. Nabola ka naman nyang si Inday eh ang korni korni naman nya. At bakit kinakain mo yan? Dog food ba yan?
Haharapin ni Inday si Ederlyn ng nakapameywang…
Inday: It has often been proposed that claims about what is funny, delicious, or likely are “subjective,” in the sense that their truth depends not only on how things are with the objects they explicitly concern, but on how things are with some subject not explicitly mentioned. This thought is supported by the striking degree to which we differ in our judgments about these matters.
Inday: If there are wholly objective properties of funniness, deliciousness, or likelihood, then most of us must be defective in our capacity to detect them. We are humor-blind, or taste-blind, or likelihood-blind, in much the same way that some of us are color-blind. But this diagnosis clashes with the way we think and talk about these domains. In our judgments about what is delicious, we lack the humility color-blind people show in their judgments about what is red or green. We do not seem to regard the fact that many others disagree with us as grounds for caution in calling foods delicious. We readily judge things to be funny in light of our own senses of humor, even though when challenged we can offer no grounds for thinking our senses of humor are the “right” ones. We readily judge things to be likely in light of what we know, even while acknowledging that our knowledge is only partial, and that others may know more than we do.
Ederlyn: Syet… talo na naman ako.
Dodong or Ethan
Isang araw, nag-aabang si Inday sa kalye ng taxi para pumunta ng gym. Napuna sya ni Ethan, ang tricycle driver, na nakatambay sa kanto habang kumakain ng bananacue.
Ethan: Hi Miss Beautiful! San ka punta?
Inday: Hey Ethan! Gold’s Gym and no, I don’t want you to take me there on that shabby pedicab of yours.
Narinig sila ni Dodong na nagdidilig ng mga halaman at dali daliang iniwan ito para lumapit sa kanila.
Dodong: Inday, sino sya? Ano sya sa buhay mo?
Inday: Relax Dodong, he’s just a friend I met the other day. Ethan, this is Dodong. Dodong, this is Ethan.
Ethan: Pre! Bananacue? (inalok ang kinakaing bananacue)
Dodong: Not so nice to meet you.
Dodong: Inday, ang totoo hanggang ngayon ay umaasa parin ako na sabihin mo sa akin na ako parin. Ako nalang. Ako nalang ulit.
Inday: Dodong, oh please stop being so melodramatic. You’re making a scene and it’s getting embarrassing.
Ethan: O nga pre ano ba problema mo?
Dodong: (lumingon kay Ethan) Malaki lang ang katawan mo pero di mo ako kayang patumbahin!
Inday: Ay ambot!
Nag-walkout si Inday papalayo sa kanilang dalawa at sumakay na rin ng taxi.
Ethan: (sabi kay Dodong) Pre, medyo kahawig mo si John Lloyd pag lumalaki butas ng ilong mo.
Uuuy… mukhang may magkikiss and make up mamaya…
