Math Deficiency --- NOT. /
I'm a commuter. Everyday, I ride the jeepney twice and pay the jeepney driver 6.00 pesos since students and senior citizens have discounts. I stand my ground when it comes to that. When it is a school day, talagang 6.00 pesos lang ibabayad ko. Bahala ka.

Last Tuesday, while going home, I rode the jeep with two of my friends. My friend paid exactly 6.00 while the rest of us paid 20.00 each. I handed the money to the driver and said clearly, Manong, bayod po. Tatlong estudyante.
And all he gave me was a blank look.
When he gave me the change, I counted it. Kailangan, 28 yung sukli namin. Since parehong 20 yung binayad namin. 14 sa kanya, and 14 sa akin.
Kulang ng 6.00 pesos.
Inisip namin na ok lang yun. Pero nanghinayang ako kasi isang trip din yun diba? So dun nagsimula ang bwisit na usapan.
ME: Manong, kulang po kami ng 6.00. Kasi magkahiwalay na bayad po yung dalawang bente. Pareho pong estudyante yun.
DRIVER: ... Magkano ba binayad mo?
ME: 40.00 po.
DRIVER: Magkano yung sukli na binigay ko?
ME: 22 pesos lang po.
DRIVER: O, tama na yun eh.
*nagtinginan kaming tatlo*
ME: Kuya, dapat po tigf-fourteen kami ng sukli. Kulang pa kami ng anim na piso.
DRIVER: *Medyo badtrip na.* Akin na nga yan!
ME: Ayan po o!
DRIVER: O, ayan na.
*26 pesos lang yung binigay*
ME: *Nagtataas na ng boses* Kuya, may kulang pa pong dalawang piso.
DRIVER: Bakit magkano ba dinagdag ko?
ME: 4 na piso lang ho.
DRIVER: *Barado na at inabot yung dalawang piso*
Leche. If I know alam niya na kulang kurakot lang siya. AKALA NIYA HA. Paki ko ba kung makipag-argue ako sa kanya. Basta akin na sukli ko, leche. Kahit na dalawang piso yung kulang. Nasimulan ko na kasi makipagtalo eh. Mas maganda kung matapos na tama talaga ako. :> Ako pa, dinaya mo sa pera? Nagtitinginan na nga yung mga tao kasi makulet ako eh. Prfbt.
Now you understand what it's like to dive.
Take it back, taken back, she forgets you.
Now she pleads: "Forgive me again, it's the last time I will..."
