Conversations ni Inday with Ricky Lo

Inday is getting a lot of popularity today mostly from word of mouth, SMS and e-mails. Her witty comments regarding her life as a domestic helper has already brought laughter and uncontrollable nosebleeds to us.

RL: Inday, thank you for accepting this interview, how are you feeling right now?

Inday: You might expect me to be flabbergasted or nervous with all the attention I’m getting right now. Actually, I’m not. I know from that very first text message that this is going to be inevitable. Even now the media is already interested in my fame that they sent you to interview me thinking that you can comprehend each and every word that I say.

RL: [nagpunas ng ilong] Uhmm, ahh I see… so with all your uhh academic credentials, what made you decide just to be a domestic helper?

Inday: Well, what do you expect me to be? A lawyer? A politician? A newscaster? Oh come on, you’re all so predictable. Have you met a domestic helper that has a medical degree, is a world-class culinary artist, has a degree in Business Management, a certified public accountant and consistent Best in English for four years in high school?

RL: Uhhm, ahh I guess not.

Inday: Well there you go. That’s what sets me apart and makes me unique from all the rest and I guess it’s something that you just can’t fathom.

RL: [tuluyan nang nag-nosebleed]

Inday: I guess this is the end of this interview. I still have to prepare our evening victuals and update my blog. Tatah! Hi nga pala to my love, Dodong! I love you babes.

Umbrella Lyrics

Story of Inday

Dahil sa tindi ng kahirapan sa
probinsya, namasukan si Inday bilang
katulong sa Maynila. Habang
ini-interview ng amo

Amo: Kelangan namin ng katulong para mag
ayos ng bahay, magluto, maglaba,
magplantsa, mamalengke, at magbantay ng
mga bata. Kaya mo ba ang lahat ng ito?




Inday: I believe that my trained skills
and expertise in management with the use
of standard tools, and my discipline and
experience will contribute significantly
to the value of the work that you want,
my creativity, productivity and
work-efficiency and the high quality of
outcomes I can offer will boost the work
progress.

Amo: [nosebleed]

Nakaraan ang dalawang araw, umuwi ang
amo, nakitang me bukol si junior.

Amo: Bakit me bukol si junior?

Inday: Compromising safety with useless
aesthetics, the not-so-well engineered
architectural design of our kitchen
lavatory affected the boy's cranium with
a slight boil at the left temple near
the auditory organ.

Amo: [nosebleed ulit]

Kinagabihan, habang naghahapunan.

Amo: Bakit maalat ang ulam?

Inday: The consistency was fine. But you
see, it seems that the increased amount
of sodium chloride (NaCl) affected the
taste drastically and those actions are
irreversible. I do apologize.

Amo: [nosebleed na naman]

Donya: Bakit tuwing paguwi ko,
nadadatnan kitang nanunuod ng tv?!

Inday: Because I don't want you to see
me doing absolutely nothing.

Donya: [hinimatay]

Kinabukasan, sinamahan ni Inday si
junior sa principal's office dahil di
makapunta ang amo at donya.

Principal: Sinuntok ni junior ang
kanyang kaklase.

Inday: It's absurd! It was never a fact
that he will inflict a fight. I can only
imagine how you handle schizophrenic
kids on this educational institution.
Revise your policies because they suck!

Principal: [nag resign]

Pag dating sa bahay, nandun na ang amo,
galit na galit.

Amo: Inday, bakit nagkalat ang basura sa
likod ng bahay?!

Inday: A change in the weather patterns
might have occurred wrecking havoc to
the surroundings. The way the debris are
scattered indicates that the gust of
wind was going northeast causing damage
to the path it was heading for.

Amo: [nosebleed ulit]

Habang nagluluto si Inday ng hapunan,
malikot si junior.

Inday: Stop your raucous behavior. It is
bound to result in property damages and
if that happens there will be
corresponding punishment to be inflicted
upon you!

Junior: [takbo sa CR, punasan ang
nagdudugong ilong]

Pagkatapos magluto, nanood na ng TV si
Inday. Nabalitaan nya umalis si
Angel
Locsin
sa GMA 7.

Junior: Bakit kaya sya umalis?

Inday: Sometimes, people choose to leave
not because of selfish reasons but
because they just know that things will
get worse if they'll stay. Leaving can
be a tough act, and it's harder when
people can't understand you for doing so.

Junior: [tuloy ang pagdugo ng ilong]

Nung gabing yon, me nag text ke Inday.
Si Dodong, ang driver ng kapitbahay,
gusto maki pag text-mate.

Inday: To forestall further hopes of
acquaintance, my unfathomable statement
to the denial of your request - Petition
denied.

Di nagla-on, dahil sa tyaga ni Dodong,
nagging syota nya rin si Inday. Pero di
tumagal ang kanilang relasyon, at
nakipag-break si Inday ke Dodong.

Inday: The statute restricts me to love
you but you have the provocations. The
way you smile is the proximate cause why
I love you. We have some rules to think
of. We have no vested rights to love
each other because the upper household
dismissed my petition!

Dodong: Perhaps you are mistaken, what
you seem to contrive as any affections
for you are somewhat half-hearted. I was
merely attempting to expand my network
of interests by involving you in my
daily recreation. Heretofor, you can
expect an end to any verbal articulation
from myself

Me dumaan na mamang basurero, at narinig
ang usapan ni Inday at Dodong.

Basurero: Be careful in letting go of
the things you thought are just nothing
because maybe someday you'll realize
that the one you gave away is the very
thing you want to stay.

When You're Gone

This is the song being played when I learned about the bad news. Coincidence?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otMB3WVQNVg

When You're Gone
I always needed time on my own
I never thought I'd need you there when I cry
And the days feel like years when I'm alone
And the bed where you lie
Is made up on your side

When you walk away
I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now?

When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
When you're gone
The words I need to hear to always get me through the day
And make it OK
I miss you

I never felt this way before
Everything that I do
Reminds me of you
And the clothes you left
They lie on the floor
And they smell just like you
I love the things that you do

When you walk away
I count the steps that you take

Do you see how much I need you right now?

When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
When you're gone
The words I need to hear to always get me through the day
And make it OK
I miss you

We were made for each other
Out here forever
I know we were
Yeah Yeah

All I ever wanted was for you to know
Everything I do I give my heart and soul
I can hardly breathe I need to feel you here with me
Yeah

When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
And When you're gone
The words I need to hear will always get me through the day
And make it OK
I miss you
mMm
