A thousand and one curses. Streamed down on me from ma faver's mouth. "Antanga-tanga mo talaga! Hindi kasi tumawag muna, sabi ko na kahapon, tumawag ka muna eh! Nag-aaksaya ka ng gasolina! Parang dati, iniwan ka na pala! Yadda yadda yadda...!" A hundred more when we arrived home. "O, bat ayaw mo pang bumaba ng kotse? Iintayin mo pang ipasok uli [ang kotse] eh aalis nga ako! O hindi pa isasara ang gate!" [You're such an airhead! Don't wait til the driver parks the car inside! I have somewhere to go to! Get out of the car! And close the gate behind you!] To which I replied,"Isasara ko ang gate eh aalis ka nga ulit" [Why shoiuld I close the gate when you just said you have to go again?] To which he said,"Eh kung masingitan tayo?"
