The flight of d crispy box

the other day i woke up to a text message from my FaFa, informing my MaMa' that a new fridge will be arriving that afternoon advising her not to open it right away and let it alone for at least 2 hours. more like an initial charge of a cellphone. hehe i had no idea. nobody told me about the new fridge. or nobody had the chance to tell me coz im a nocturnal mammal and im not part of d family anymore, like my brother once said, in half jest. coz i rarely see them at home awake, if at all, i might pass by the kitchen at breakfast, answering a few questions, uttering a comment and telling my inay to wake me up 5 hours after, then go straight 2 my room. spiraling down hard my bed. zzzzz in .5 of a nanosecond. i told my inay about the fridge and as i expected, she was excited. she loves the kitchen. she spends most of her time there. no, actually she lives there. the kitche is her battleground, her territory, her AOR. and the fridge is the kitchen's primary assault weapon when it comes to war (food war) . she was excited and she just can't hide it. (kanta ka rin) but unfortunately i, was not, i din't cry, though.and i dint tell them i was either. getting rid of d old corrosive and rusting fridge is for me... sad. sad for its sentimental value and the moments i have shared with d old fridge. those times, everyday i have shooked hands with her(her d fridge) handle. those times when i run to her and find comfort from her food and water when i was hungry or thirsty. those times when a piece of hard cold chocolate can bring joy to my lonely day. those days when i was still half as tall as her and i cant even reach d top of her coz i wanted to steal the extra coins my mother left. (dont try dat at home) so many memories of the old fridge. she was already there condensing and evaporating (har har) when i was still inside my mother's womb. so that would mean d fridge is more than 22 years old. and with few repairs. that must be for d record books. and now i have to say goodbye to d old fridge. though its already crispy and old with all the rust and broken parts, not to mention d deformed surface, that was supposed to be magnetic! so frustrating when i realized that it can't hold those little magnetic fruits anymore. i've always enjoyed playing and making up forms and objects with them. goodbye my old friend. i'm going to miss you. but of course our new fridge is much taller, bigger and cooler... yah cooler. and much more economical because it's new and it consumes less electricity. and with few bonuses dat goes with d fridge... dvd player extension, GPS satellite, built-in plasma tv and monitor. touch screen pa. convertible into a queen size bed, a chair, a table, a volkswagen. meron pa! a pop-up sharpener at the back... crayola holder, pencil case holder at the side- a safety air bag- malay mo baka mabagsakan ng aeroplane. laser security detectors. voice activated- just yell "bukas!" "open!" "abli!" "abrir!" multi ligual kasi... tama naaaaa!!!! di nga...plus may ringtone. pag nag yelo na ang tubig. tutututut titit! no really... it's silvery gray! mas astig. ang tatak nang bago naming ref? SUZUKI bwehehe goodbye!
