What a joke. Alright, that was Feria’s signal no. 2..
(Uh-oh, not that I had wanted it give us a strong blow, but having grown up in Bicol, that is soo NOT a signal-No.-2-as-we-normally-have-it-in-Bicol. And it’s not so bad a thing too that I skipped a half-sure failure in a quiz scheduled yesterday, as our prof decided to cancel our class. Sometimes oftentimes I just get lucky.)
While checking on the TV news last night (and t’was typhoon Feria being discussed by the newsguy on a weirdly peaceful rainless night), my housemate, Dree gave this funny comment:
‘Ano nga ulit running speed mo? Ano ba naman yan si Feria e mukhang mas mabilis ka pa d’yan eh..’
At that time, I didn’t catch it to be that funny as I was busy munching on a piece of cake. This morning, while riding a cab I caught more clearly the windspeed specs of typhoon Feria: 15kph.
Not so fast, I thought. Actually quite too slow, I thought further.
So arriving at the office, the topic of chitchat was still Feria. From the 29th floor, we peeked from the glass window and saw just slight drizzle. Amid the chitchat, I mindlessly muttered an angas joke (recalling to mind that Feria blows at only 15kph):
‘You know, Feria’s slow.. It said in the news 15 km per hour lang daw speed nya.. Mas mabilis pa nga ako dun eh, hahaha!’
Man that threw my officemate off her seat! She kept laughing and laughing, and then it dawned on me that yeah, that was a funny statement.
But no, I am Not faster than Feria. She is slow, yes, but I can’t (yet?-or-EVER) muster enough prowess to stage a sub-60 time for a 15k.
At least not in my waking time. Hahaha.
