Confessions of a Cab Driver

I took a cab from abs-cbn to my place in ortigas. It was a red colored cab named "padrino". I sat at the back of the driver hoping for some quiet time after my taping. But the driver still initiated a conversation. He started off with how expensive the gas price is nowadays and how dangerous the lpg engine is to the health of the driver. Then he began to ask me a question:


Driver: may asawa na po kayo sir?

Lex: wala pa. Hindi pa naman kinakasal ang mga bakla sa pilipinas.

Driver: a ganoon po ba kayo? Hindi ko po nahalata. Buti pa kayo hindi kayo nahihiya umamin. Yung iba kasi nagtatago pa.

Lex: ako naman ang nagpapakain sa sarili ko. Hindi ko kailangan mahiya sa kung ano ang pagkatao ko.

Driver: Alam nyo sir nakatira na ho ako ng bakla.

I started to become curious and from the rear view mirror, i took a glance at the face of the driver. TrUe enough, the driver was good looking. He had a symmetrical face with a lean body. And he continued to recall his story.

Driver: naging pasahero ko siya mula sa ortigas. Tapos niyaya niya ako mag inuman. Binayaran niya yung metro habang umiinom kami. gwapo yung bakla maganda yung katawan...

At this point i was really tempted to get the number of this alleged gay man, but i let the driver proceed withthe story.

Driver: tapos tinanong nya ako kung okay lang ba kung mag motel kami. Okay naman sa akin. Babayaran niya yung boundary ko e. Grabe siya. Ang galing niya magpigil. Siya naka tatlong putok tapos ako pinipigilan nya pag malapit na akong labasan...

Unfortunately, i was already in front of my building even before he finished his story. As i was about to get off, he quickly made an offer.

Driver: kayo sir? Gusto niyo?

Lex: hindi ako pwede. Magagalit ang boyfriend ko.

I decided not to get my change.

Lex: sige. Humayo ka at magpaligaya ka pa ng maraming bading!
