By golly! Just when I am about to put final touches to my itinerary dubbed ‘task force kabaleyan paway senior express’, I read this butas in the fuselage of an Air Quantas B747-400 eroplen?

Naku kinabahan tuloy ako knowing it is in that section I will be sitting in? Many senior citizens like me taking to the skies no more space on economy and business class. I will ran out of false teeth before I can afford first class so into the baggage compartment I go.

If ever I get to go, I wondered, other than making pasyal to various carinderias in Dagupan, Lingayen and all the places that can cause ‘immodium’ attacks, should I not explore getting into some kind of Guinness World Record like recent successes of our kabaleyans?

Will boncillia, masahe, haircut, facials, shave, ear cleaning, hair tinting done in 8 hours continuously for 1 week do it? What I am worried about is the one holding the labaha for 3 days without sleep… bahala na.

Dropping by Sunday Punch will also be a cinch. It is in a building owned by two prominent families but easier for the kutsero by simply telling him – take me to Allied Bank please!
