Halloween Story

Pang Halloween Story If you don't mind:

Tutal today is Halloween so pang Halloween ang story na ito. I think it was the Year 1986 or 1987 ata yun. My supervisor dropped by at my place of work in the Department of Health, DRTS. I was surprised! She never visit that area before and I don't know what she needs to do there whether she's there to supervise or what because my job is at the free clinic. Turned out she was there to talk with other doctors I think or attend a symposium? Not sure. So while she was getting out of her car she told me that it's her birthday actually and she wants to ask me for a lunch out. I think as I remember I don't have a ready gift for her but I always have in my bag pcs of chocolate. That time she's lucky that I have toblerone. So instead of having it for my snack I just gave it to her instead because it's her birthday anyway. When I gave it to her, she told me, "you don't need to Verna." She was happy smiling at my gesture of thoughtfulness. Then after lunch, after I had finish my free clinic at DRTS, she was with one of our sales representative from Pharma. Well he's cute and a look-alike of DD of XF. My supervisor is equally stunning and at her age is still gorgeous. My co-workers at DRTS were looking at us for sure. My supervisor asked us to ride her car and we have to go to the Pharma before that time specified on the "invitation." She let him (RT) do the driving, we passed by San Lazaro Hospital and we cannot get into the road because of heavy traffic, so we waited for more than 15 minutes. Grabe naman sa traffic doon. So he drove fast that area going to the right side of the road. He kept on driving, and driving until there is something wrong with the road. My supervisor seemed a little nervous and about to panic and asked me, "Verna, where are we?"  I looked around, outside the window of her car and can't find any street sign. Then outside that area zone is ....oh my God we're in another planet!!!!!!!! I got nervous too. It's almost like twilight zone in that area. I haven't been in that place either so I don't know where we are. We can't find any possible route to get out. It was a closed-in no other route to get out. It's like another country in that area sa tutuo lang. Even the people, they don't look like Filipinos. How could that happen? Hindi rin sila Intsik. So nasan kami? Ewan ko talaga namang ninerbyos kaming 3. RT was a new driver and he too doesn't know that area. Sa tutuo lang parang hindi na sya Pinas. Ano kayang country yun? tagaktak ang pawis nung driver namin. Ako naman nerbyosa, mas lalo palang nerbyosa yung supervisor ko. So walang way doon how to get out going to the highway. Ang ginawa ni RT he drove the car backwards not forward. Bumalik kami sa dating destination kahit na matraffic. Even if we waited 30 minutes or more than that amount of time. Sige lang basta mukhang nasa civilization kami, quesa naman doon sa lugar na yun...everytime na hihinto ang ibang sasakyan ok lang kahit na abutin ng siyam siyam basta safe kami from harm. Ang init pa naman noon at yung car ng supervisor namin ay mahina yung aircon. Grabe! We get there to the Pharma or to that venue where he is supposed to play his violin. Recital. Naka! Buti naman nakahabol siya sa program.

Ako naman nag-iisip pa up to now. That twilight zone area is something weird. Pang X Files. I couldn't believe that in Philippines there's an area where another country is inside area of responsibility and territory.
