Go Figure

Davao Detour Deluxe (or A Day in Eden Garden Resort, Davao City)

“Ah, ma’am, may reservation kayo?” says the guard.
“Wala po.”
“Ah, so ‘detour’ lang kayo?”

While not comprehending what “detour” meant, I said yes. Does it mean, we’re eschewing the guided tour schedule and going into a separate direction? Or is there a different route that we can take inside the garden resort?

I found out what it meant when I went up to the ‘detour’ office.

It’s the kind of tour one does for a day. Go figure.


Saved by the Bell

“Ma’am, small bell lang po”, said the cashier as I made my way to pay a small bottle of hair product. For a split second, I thought, ‘does she think I am buying a bell (a small one at that)?’ Then I realized she just wanted me to pay using small notes. Go figure, again.
