Accidental Bloopers! Ooppsss!!!
May 29, 2010
I am an organized person. Every night, I prepare everything what I need for the following day. When I have a trip, I started packing 5 days before the scheduled trip eventhough it will only lasts for 3 days, just to make sure nothing amiss.
But then, 2 weeks ago, it must be a bad day for me or I woke up at the wrong side of the bed or something weird. I had this bloopers while going to work. I woke up, took a bath, did my rituals and put on my 2 piece uniform then left my place. I walked about 50 meters from my place to wait for a jeep going to MRT, rode the MRT and alighted in Ortigas station. I was taking my time, it was just too early for my schedule…. when suddenly a middle aged woman behind me whispered and removed something that was clipped on the hem of my dress saying “Miss, may ipit ka sa damit” then gave me the neon green dress clip. The woman was trying to supress her giggles. Ooppss!!! It was not visible since it was clipped at the back of my dress until it has been pointed out to me.
As it turned out, my brother who left our place earlier than me removed the clip from his shirt then clipped it to my uniform.
Then the following day, I was at DFA to renew my passport. When the assisting personnel was checking my birth certificate, she asked me “alam mo ba na wala kang gender sa birth certificate mo?” What???? Oh crap! Fortunately, I had with me my old passport and I don’t have to provide an affidavit that I am a girl. I thought she was going to ask me what to put on my gender. The last time I checked, I was and I am still a 100% girl. Do I need to provide a certification? My parents must be overwhelmed when I was born, they did not bother to check if I was a boy or a girl. At least I know my name is a girl name. I happened to know someone named “Baby Boy” on his birth certificate.
Let’s face it, most of us are human. We all make mistakes. This is just to add a little light hearted humor to our day. It was never happened to me before but from now on I will keep on checking my dress if there is something clipped on it before I leave our place. But I dont have to check everyday if I am a girl. I had a few giggles and it gives me something to chuckle at.
