Mejo off topic my kwento but in a sense mejo may relate.. hehe
This happened in Nov 2015. I had planned to travel to Cambodia then with my bf and eventually extended the invite to my close cousin. I offered naman that I could pay for our accom kase mura lang for me since I worked overseas. Eventually, a month in for our annual vacay, bf backed out since he had to stay since yung mom niya passed away a few months prior to it, so understood na yun na he couldn't go. So what I did was I invited my friend in place and told my cousin about it kase nga I booked the hotel and everything na. So my cousin asked if pwede dalhin bf niya instead which I said ok kase this bf was very mabait sa family namen and had previously nagbantay and talagang naeffort to take care of my younger brother when he was confined to the hospital. So ayun nga, parang days before the trip my friend backed out all of a sudden which kinda pissed me off pero I couldn't get angry kase I understood yung reason niya. So ayun, my cousin nalang asked again kung pwede isama mom ng bf kase daw bago kakarenew lang ng passport, need daw magkastamp kase nareject previously for Australian or Canadian visa daw. So ako nman since there was extra room, ok lang no biggie. The trip went smoothly for a few days up until the 3rd day we were there, kase that day we went and crossed the border to Thailand since it was offered sa hotel na pinagstay namen which we found mura kaso what we didn't anticipate was yung travel time by land from Siem Reap to Bangok. We were stranded in land border for 4 hours dahil sa haba ng pila
Ayun lesson learned. We arrived in Bangkok (super traffic dito
)mejo padilim na and all we had done was roam the night market. So ayun, yung mom ng bf eh kept complaining the whole time na masakit na daw paa niya and balik na daw kame within an hour of being there and this was after she was done buying all of her angkan ata a ton of pasalubong
AGAIN Actually, wala naman yun samen eh kase pera ng mom ng bf un, pero kase we had agreed previously na since late ang bus the next day going back to Siem Reap eh mag grab taxi nalang kame and divided yung cost ng fare. So ayun , roam roam na kme, eh hindi pa nga kame nakakikot and nakakabili man lang ng pasalubong ng pinsan ko eh nagiinarte na yung mom ng bf niya kase gusto na daw bumalik, my gosh, paano naman yun eh from Bangkok to border eh atleast 4 hours ang biyahe tapos dadating kame dun madaling araw na. hello? sarado pa border kaya
Nagtanong kme gusto mag check in ayaw naman, yun pala ubos na pera nila DAHIL KAKABILI NG NANAY NIYA NG PASALUBONG NG ANGKAN NILA
I think ang pinaka-nakakainis was napilitan kame to go back in the middle of the night by taxi tlaga and when magbabayad na kme ng taxi, me and cousin gave the exact bill we agreed upon tapos sila mag ina kalahati lang ang share kase nga inubos na ng mom ang pera nila, super nakakahiya sa driver kase he made an effort na ihatid kame out of his way tapos ganun, ending I paid for sa kulang nila which was what the %&*$ talaga
... Ang nakakatawa pa sabe nila hintay nalang kme sa saradong mall sa labas till border opens
I was like, ha? eh 3 am palang kaya.. magoopen ng 8 or 9 am yung border.. ok lang kayo
.... Sa sobrang asar ko, I let go being nice nice and dragged my cousin sa nearby hotel where we checked in. Walang nagawa ang mag-ina kundi sumunod and nung bayaran na eh i told them, please pay for the accom (I would gladly pay but since I paid for their fair eh tlagang I insisted they pay for the accom).. Nagalit yung mom kase pala ang pera naiwan sa kanya eh $100 nalang so ang sinukli sa kanya eh baht which is lugi... Didn't really mind she was pissed kase yung binayad ko sa fair nila eh $$ din naman kase ang tinira ko nalang talaga na baht eh yung bayad sa taxi. Anong ending? Yung mom eh di kame pinansin the next day talaga, mega deadma then nung nakabalik na kme sa hotel, she refused to eat with us at all and nung paalis na kme to go to Pub Street, we really heard their argument na mag-ina in the next room.. as in sigawan with matching hagulgolan sa sobrang galit ata ng mom niya. My gosh
( I remember yung bf went to our room pa na umiiyak, tinawag yung cousin ko to go to their room, I heard the mom shouting na pasensya na kayo (cousin's name) sinira ko ang bakasyon niyo.. The nerve! I was even hearing my cousin back then, asking her calmly and politely what was the problem... Gosh! My cousin even offered to reimburse her the money and on top of it all, yung pinsan ko pa ang nag-apologize for the inconvenience!
Yung bf niya stood aside lang, hindi man lang pinagtanggol cousin ko and inaway pa ata pinsan ko kase daw bakit yung pera nila ang binayad namen sa hotel! Ang kakapal ng mga mukha nila! Sinumpa ko talaga sila after that scene!
Share ko lang kase for me, ok fine, mas matanda ka, ikaw ang elderly pero naman, I extended my invite to you, I was a gracious host to you since I paid for the hotel, transpo and food from the hotel for the entire trip, the least you could do naman sana was makisama. Parang konting hiya naman diba? I was so pissed not only because she made the vacay so awkward for us but more on, my cousin was crying her eyes out to me after she came back from their room!
Talagang sa Cambodia pa nila dinala issues nila sa pamilya? Jeez
Ayun upon check out nung magbabayad na biglang inabutan ako ng PHP 1000 which I politely declined. She insisted with parinig na ahh hindi na, nakakahiya naman so tinaggap ko since napika naman ako haha! I told my cousin next to me, grabe future MIL mo ah.. inabutan ako ng 1k eh yung room bill nila nasa $160++
Kaloka! Natawa nalang ako! Super apologize si bf kase nga hiyang hiya sya saken. Later on I learned, nagpadala relatives nila from states ng allowance nila mag-ina separately for the trip, bale yung money ni bf eh sa mom din pinadala para minsanan tapos yung trip namen yung mom lang pala talaga ang humawak ng pera niya and take note naubos lahat yun kakabili ng pasalubong sa buong angkan nila (Yung dad nya and mga kapatid got atleast 2 shirts or pants or shoes). Isang shirt lang nabili ni bf ni cousin para sa kanya from the entire trip
Grabe ang nanay niya. Even my mom was very pissed when I told her about it. Sabe niya ang kapal naman ng face tsaka baka ngayon lang nakapag-out of the country! hahah!
Pero grabe lang.. Common courtesy nman sana! Gosh!
Pikon padin ako pag naalala ko
Sorry ang haba! haha
