It is stupid in the English language and this is exactly what I felt the other day. Remember the incident I shared about me realizing that I am getting old because I forgot my ATM pin number; well I shared the same story to my officemates and told them that I punched FOUR numbers that might be my pin numbers.
Then an officemate interjected a question:
Officemate1: Di ba anim ang pin number?
Officemate2: Oo nga, ang alam ko anim yun, bakit sa’yo apat lang?
Tangengot(AKO): Anim ba yun? Hindi ba apat?
Officemate3: Eh kaya naman pala rejected ang card mo, apat lang pina-punch mo. Ang Tanga!
Officemates1,2 &3: Hahahahahahaha!
Tangengot: Kaya pala (Sabay kamot sa ulo). Sorry, tanga lang..hahahaha(nakikitawa pero hiyang-hiya na akitch!)
Today, I went to the bank (where the picture of Papa Piolo hangs) to pay my bills and once again I saw the dreaded ATM machine. I approached it, inserted my debit card, and then punched the six number I remember using and behold... it proceeded to the next instructions! Success!
