Conversations With Myself

(AKO AT SI AKO)

Present Me: Hey gally, it's me, er, disi-nuebe na ko.

2000(9yr old) Me: Hey! Would you mind not sitting on my m2m records? I have them all lined up on my bed in the order I want to listen to them.

Present Me: Oops, sorry about that. No really! I've come back in time to let you know what's in store for your future. Super daming nangyari SAYO.. ummm!

2000(9yrold) Me: Uh, huh. ok.. ok.. kwento mo. butlig pa ba pantalon?uniforms?

Present Me: Nope. Mostly I wear jeans and tees. Or turtlenecks on coolish days lalo na sa baguio dati.... So far there has been no world-wide mandate for a single uniform. Which is a good thing, since I would look horrid in a "butlig suit" now. Especially a silver one. haha!

So.... what do you want to know about the year 2010?

200oMe: 2010 eh? Okay, I'll play along. Do I have a flying car?

Present Me: Nope. But I do own a reliable cell phone...

2000Me: Now that's just depressing. A phone? You're all freaked out about a phone? We've had those for like, 3310 nokia model you know.

Present Me: Not one like this! You can surf the 'net, take photos, listen to music, and erm, even phone people.

2000 Me: Far out... where do you plug it in? Don't you have cameras anymore?

Present Me: Oh sure, I have one too; to take BETTER pictures than my phone!

2000 Me: Uh huh. And your camera is also used to call people, but not as well as your phone, right? Ooooo - kay...... What the heck is "surf the net?" We don't live near the ocean.

Present Me: No, no. It has nothing to do with water. The "Net" is short for "Internet"! An amazing NETwork of interconnected computers for the sharing of information all around the world!

2000 Me: Like a big encyclopedia? I always wanted to own a whole set of encyclopedias... a good set with like 20 volumes and fake leather binding. Unless of course I was rich in the future and I could afford REAL leather. That would be groovy. I could look up anything without having to walk all the way to the Library.

Present Me: No, no, no. All that information is now stored digitally. No need for encyclopedias anymore, you can Google anything on your computer.

2000 Me: Google? What's a Google? That sounds made up. Gooooooogle, Googly... Googly... Goo-Gill-Lee!

Present Me: Stop it shhh.. lokaloka!

2000 Me: Sorry. Well,I like encyclopedias... tapos? anu pa mga mangyayari? yayaman ba ako?

Present Me: No. haha.. actually, mabubuntis ka agad. haha!

2000 Me: Look. I'm sorry, but I really do think you're pulling my leg. kalokohan yan! No metallic jumpsuits, no rocket-powered cars, no encyclopedias. I don't believe you're from the future at all. Mabubuntis pa ako??! Talk shit! Are you sure you're not just some crazy relative that stopped by for a visit with my Dad? You look familiar.

Present Me: Well, I COULD prove it to you by giving you some pictures of CIEN..^^
2000 Me: who's cien? whoah!

Present Me: anak mo. I mean, anak ko. ahy! anak pala natin
2000 Me:iiiiishhhh! Now THAT'S something I want to hear about! Then? who's my husband?

Present Me: Er.... wellllll...... wala eh.. ='(
