Mga Kwento sa Coffee Stand. . .

It's my second day here in Baguio, the city of Pines. Doing my out of town engagement of auditing three foundations of one of the biggest University here.

During merienda, I had these amusing experience ordering hot coffee and bread when other people beside me call for their orders. heheheh here how it goes:

1st day: Baguio is known for the climate here, the wind is cold as the city is located in high places and it is enclosed by Mountains. So typographically, the cold wind from the north is trapped and it was raining around 3pm. During merienda, I go to the canteen and ordered cappuccino and slice of bread. that's enough for me. then there is this lady, a college student perhaps, she stand beside me. and when she calls her order, it amazed me.

"Kuya isang coffee pls! yung malaki na"
"anung klaseng coffee Ma'am" sabi ni Kuya.
"Ice po!"

then I was like...what? Ice coffee? "Yung malaki?" then I was left there asking myself a question. adik lang?

"sir ok ka lang po? may order pa?"
"aaah? ok na tong hot coffee. hehehe, paki charge sa Accounting, thanks"
"ok sir thank you!"

Then I left. smiling.

2nd day: I was again on the coffee stand, still thinking of what happened yesterday and I am expecting to have another student ordering beside me an "Ice Cold Coffee." well it turn very dramatic today! hehehe. I ordered Sweet brewed Coffee. I was the one who is at the end of the queue with three students in front me. they all ordered "hot" coffee. so, it is declared, no ice coffee experience. sad...

But here is the catch.

"Sir anong order nyo" sabi ni ate.
"Sweet brewed coffee po ate." tapos tingin ako sa studyante sa harap ko.

huminto kasi cya nilapag yung hot coffee nya...

"Mainit cguro, sabi ko sa sarili..."

kumuha cya ng brown sugar, at nag stir...

"ah ok kaya pala..."

tapos, kumuha cya ng straw...

"Huh?..."

nagstir ulit...

"astig, hindi kuntento sa stirrer..."

at hinigop ang kapeng mainit...

"...adik lang?..."

amazing! hahaha kakaiba talaga ang mga taga-Baguio! hehehe. tapos napatingin ako kay Ate.

'Ahhh.. paki charge ulit sa Accounting." tapos kumuha ako ng cinnamon roll at alis.

hahaha lupet naman nila, sila ang kapeng mahirap timplahin! hehehe.
