Condom, Pregnancy, R as in Giraffe

May 18, 2017 Manila
I went to Watsons at the Venice Mall to buy Concore.

There were two older women occupying the counter at the pharmacy section. Tila mga balikbayan. Ang tagal nila, taking, their sweet time.
I must have waited for at least 15 minutes. I was growing impatient I wanted to ask what the fuss was all about. I became curious too what they were buying, bakit ang tagal naman.

I noticed the shelves on the left side contained all condoms.
Kung-anu-anong nakalagay.
Sa tagal ng tingin ko sa mga condom, parang nate-turn on na ako.

Merong play, vibrations, sensation. Kung nakatayo ka dito, ma te-turn on ka sa kababasa nitong mga ito.

On the right side naman were pregnancy test kits. After looking at the condoms, ma-te-turn on ka. Pero pagkita mo sa pregnancy test kit, ma te turn-off ka at baka ka naman mabuntis or if you are male, baka ka makabuntis.

There was a young foreigner-looking lady who was with her partner, she bought this pregnancy kit. Ang tsismosa ko.

Kaya pala ang tagal nung dalawang ale, maraming binibili na gamot na hindi naman nila alam ang mga pangalan.

Woman to the Pharmacist —- Bigyan mo nga ako nung gamot.
Pharmacist 1 ————— Ano’ng pangalan ho ng gamot?
Woman———————– Yung pang asthma nya. Meron ba kayong pang-asthma?
Pharmacist 1 to his colleague —– Pang asthma daw.
(They looked at their computer list, pang asthma, syempre maraming nakalista na gamot).
Woman———————– Hindi ko matandaan. R ang beginning, nalimutan ko.
Pharmacy searched the computer list for asthma medicines beginning with letter R.
Woman ———————- Yung asthma R ang beginning, R as in raaa ,
Girrrraffe.
