Paranoia….
i went home late…. again… for the second day in a row now…. well, that’s what us guys do… go out, have fun, chill out, drink….. hehehe…. nah… if you believe that i’ve been doing that all week long, you’re out of your mind…. i’ve been out studying with some of my friends who have the same problems that i do when we study at home and that is falling asleep while studying
…
anyways, so today i went home late (or should i say early), and alex dropped me off at petron which is just a tricycle ride away from my home… i heard this group of young men
askin if i needed a tricycle… so i motioned yes and then this guy went running towards his tricycle so he could give me ride
….
now i thought that was it but then as we cruised towards my place, his buddies got on another tricycle and followed my ride… i didn’t mind… at first… but then these guys started talkin but i couldn’t really make out what they were saying.. halfway through the length of the ride, the driver’s buddies were tailing us… and then all of a sudden, they disappeared……..
i thought they just went along with the ride and turned a different direction to get back home….. but then something inside me told me to take another look behind me….. and guess what? the tricycle that was following us earlier was still there!!! it cut down some speed….. so was i being paranoid? you’d probably say i’m crazy but hey…. it cut down some speed and turned off its freaking lights! now who in their right mind would feel comfortable about that?!…
damn…….. we were getting close to home too… I started running scenarios in my head of what i should/could do if this and that happened…..
first thing that came to my head was, prepare the tricycle fee and run into the house before they get a chance to mug me….. probably set my man-eating dog
free and we could work together to break some skinny gang’s necks!
second thing that came into my head was to grab this 15inch-long pipe that so happened to be in the tricycle i was riding and start swinging when trouble occurs… but then i’d be in a disadvantage of a 1 to 5 combat….. i’m pretty sure i weigh 10-20lbs heavier than any of these guys…. then i realized that if these guys were on drugs, they’d be more aggressive and stronger than an ordinary people
…..
i was running out of options…. so we arrived at my place… i lost sight of the other tricycle
…. things looked brighter for me when i saw a couple of my sane neighbors still out having a chat with friends
…. i’m pretty sure that the plan of these guys got messed up because of these other people in the street…..
so i paid the driver 20pesos, went through the gates and locked it…. and i think i heard/saw that the driver was interested in my dog………. hmm……….. oh well, atleast i didn’t get mugged…..
but if ever those guys do try to break in……… all hell will break lose and i’ll just have to make sure that these guys won’t be recognized by any of their relatives when i get through with them!![]()

Whoa…..Good thing nothing bad happened. I was actually quite frightened with your story especially when you were telling all those scenarios. I was relieved to hear that everything went out just fine. Buti na lang umiistambay pa sa labas ang mga kapitbahay mo. Keep up the good work with your blog! =)
PS. Those smileys are sooo cute.
