God... I'm old
I felt my age today during a conversation with my trainees.
"Grabe! Wala nang seats for the Incubus concert." (There aren't any seats available for the Incubus concert)
"Makano ba tickets?" (How much are the tickets?)
"Mga four kiaw" (About 4 thousand)
Me: "I'm not paying 4 grand for that! I'd pay that much to see Eddie Vedder"
After a moment of silence, one kid pipes up "Who's Eddie Vedder?"
***
Em: "Grabe! Ang guapo niya! Ang sweet! Para kaming si John Lloyd and Bea!" (He is so handsome and sweet! We're like John Lloyd and Bea!)
Me: "Baka parang si Sharon and Gabby! Hahahaha!" (Or like Sharon and Gabby)
Em: Sino naman si Gabby? Eigenman? (And who the hell is Gabby?)
Me: "Yung tatay ni KC. Kaya nga Conception ang last name niya eh" (KC's dad. That's why her last name's Conception.)
Em: "Ah..." (insert awkward silence here)
***
I am old.
Crap.
I should start saving for a pacemaker.
