Episode #11: Ba't Ka Nagagalit?!
We were at the coffee shop working on our blog – when Bratinella’s buddy happened to walk into the place.
Kulit: I thought I'd find you here...
HER: Uy – hello!
Kulit: I’m not stalking you ha . . .
HER: No prob . . . we’re just working on our blog.
Kulit: (Looking at me . . .) Hello.
ME: Hel... uhurmphh! (choking on my sandwich). . . Sorry 'bout that . . .
We exchanged some small talk – then I went back to what I was doing . . . but half my attention (well, more than that actually) was focused on what was about to transpire . . .
Kulit: What’s your article about?
HER: “Men Bullying Women”.
Kulit: ANO’NG KLASENG TOPIC YAN?! (Nag ‘alsa-boses’ bigla!)
ME: (Uh-oh . . .)
HER: Women’s Month ngayon, eh . . . Teka . . . Ba’t ka nagagalit? (Staying cool.)
Kulit: HINDI AKO GALIT!! (Mas malakas na ang boses ngayon.)
HER: (Tumaas ang kilay ng Bratinella – then with child-like impish little grin. . .) . . . You’re making dilat your eyes . . . all the veins on your neck are on ‘red-alert’ . . . wala kang volume control . . . hindi ka pa galit niyan?!
Kulit: HINDI!!
HER: H-e-l-l-o-o-o!! . . . Have you seen a mirror lately?! (Biglang naglabas nang mirror from her handbag!)
ME: (Naku po – talaga naman . . . Please, Bratinella – pagbigyan mo na si KULIT – at nang makaalis na tayo . . . Iwanan ko kaya kayong dalawa diyan, makita ninyo!)
Kulit: HRMPHHHH!!
HER: Ano ka? . . . Walking calling card? . . . Just because masungit na boss ka sa office – sa tingin mo boss rin kita at pwede ka rin biglang magsungit sa akin?? . . . Ha ha . . . (What a bully . . . )
Kulit: Hindi AKO bully – IKAW ang bully!! . . . Sana matapos na ang Women's Month na ito!
HER: Ngek! . . . Narinig ang side-comment ko . . . heh heh . . . Hoy - magdusa ka – ladies’ month ngayon – sorry ka! . . . Mwahaha!!
ME: (Ewan ko sa inyong dalawa . . . e heto ako sa gitna nyo . . . AKO ang nagdurusa!)
A classic example of how Bratinella handles stress – dinadaan lang niya sa naughty smile with matching famous laughter. Her HAPPINESS formula -- kaya flawless siya:
“Pag may nagagalit -- don’t take things personally . . . It’s NOT about you . . . Hindi sila galit sa inyo . . . Galit sila sa mundo . . . Mwahaha!”
