When boredom strikes, we strike back.

Nagsurvey ako sa mga pinsan ko kung ano ang kanilang pinaka-di-malilimutang karanasan kung ang pag-uusapan ay awkwardness, un bang pagkakataon na wala silang masabi at hindi sila at ease sa takbo ng usapan.

[Di ko na babanggitin ang kanilang mga pangalan kahit na di niyo naman sila kilala at kahit di naman nila mababasa ‘to sa dahilang ayaw nilang banggitin ko pa. Btw, I have a total of 47 cousins from both sides so di madaling ma-trace kung sino sa kanila ang nagmamay-ari ng mga experiences na ‘to.]

These are the top3 awkward moments:

(1) Cousin 1 (Guy) having a foursome dinner with his girlfriend and his girlfriend’s cousin with his girlfriend [What?!]. The cousin’s girlfriend happens to be his ex and they broke up not in good terms. The conversation? Their exes. [Kamusta naman un?]

Note: Parang eksena lang sa ‘Kung Tayo’y Magkakalayo’ ah kaya napili ko ‘to. The dinner of Celine (Kris Aquino) and Frank (Albert Martinez) with couple Selina (Maricar Reyes) and Steve (Gabby Concepcion). Celine and Steve are ex-lovers.

(2) Cousin 2 (Girl) attending a Sunday mass with her boyfriend accidentally saw her mother who didn’t approve of her boyfriend. Her mother said, “Sabi ko na nga ba kaya ayaw mong sumabay magsimba sa akin, kasama mo na naman ‘yang lalaking yan. Mag-uusap tayo mamaya sa bahay!”, then walked away.

Note: Siyempre pa, pinagtinginan sila ng mga tao sa simbahan. Nakakahiya un nang bongga, Communion pa naman.

(3) Cousin 3 (Girl) upon seeing her runaway father for the first time with his two children. She was speechless and didn’t know what to say especially when her half-sister said, “Sino siya ‘Pa, bakit natin sila pinuntahan dito at bakit kamukha ko siya?”

Note: The half-sister was only 10 years old.
