La Cucaracha
Translated, it means the cockroach dance (i think). Anyways, the FX I was riding this morning was tuned in to that radio station, which you "don’t need to memorize" and the 2 DJs were talking about cockroaches and how "yuckie" they are. I can’t help but remember my "La Cucaracha" incident in the elevator in ABS-CBN compound last year.
I was alone in the elevator going down after dropped off my daughter to her theater workshop when I noticed a cockroach about a foot away from my foot. Not wanting to have anything to do with it, it having anything to do with me, I slowly stepped away from that seemingly sleeping cockroach. Well apparently, it was not sleeping because it moved closer to me the moment I moved, so my instinct was, of course, to again stepped away. I guess it liked having me around and wanted to get jiggy with me or something because everytime i stepped away it keeps moving closer. We’re in the elevator so there isn’t really much room to move so I ended up literally running in circles trying to get away from the cockroach as it keeps on moving towards me (good thing it did not fly towards me or else I would have screamed my head off). When the elevator opened up, I was laughing so hard because I can picture how silly I looked like running around inside the elevator. Good thing there was only one person around to see me, but it was Pinky Marquez, my daughter’s workshop instructor, so I kinda want to leave at once and hide myself when I pick up my daughter lest she would think that my daughter’s mother is insane.
