Look a like a Carabao???

Is it good having a look alike or not? Some people don't like having a look alike like for example Jet Li in his movie, The One but most celebrity has its own look alike or double. Are they considered carabao's? YES!!! they are carabaos since they're the same in facial structures, mostly. There is this humor that says if you have a same facial structure, resemblance or a look alike and as if the face is common to the person who you just met in the market. You are a carabao. They said that all the animals especially the carabao have same faces, which I believe true. It is obvious even to the other animals. But what about us Human? Animals too?

This happened a lot anywhere many times but this one experience of mine i could never forget. I remember one time when me and my friends went to one of the mall in Davao to watch the movie we planned to watch as part of our weekend activity. After the movie, we waited just outside the entrance of the cinema to wait for the other friends, I noticed that there was this certain gorgeous lady who really was staring at me. I thought i accidentally bumped her when we have our way out or when i bought a ticket in the ticket booth or i wronged here somewhere sometimes. She slowly approached me wearing an unconvinced eyes or in a doubted mood. then she asked me, "DI BA IKAW TONG NAGCONCERT SA SM YESTERDAY?" "TAMA PA LAGI KO!!!" oh my gosh! this beautiful lady mistook me as a singer, a vocalist of a certain famous band in the city. the feeling was really a sort of heavens blessing having this face (hahaha). Then we jokingly pretended that, "YES! i am that person!!! I hope you enjoy my song". We ended the day laughing because I have a band of my own, without even knowing it. Its hard to fake something your really are not. But you see? i made that girl happy by giving her a hug of a lifetime, a hug in behalf of her real idol. Good thing I guess. 

One evening it was Friday my friends decided to stop by my place to visit because they thought i was sick since i did not go to school that day. It was already 7 in the evening when we ended the conversation so we come up into conclusion to have the conversation going with a bottle of beer in hands. So we went to the usual place where beers were waters and talks have no limits. we have had first our dinner at the same time because i do not want to let my sisters cook for us. We ordered enough foods to ready our stomachs for the long hour of talks and sharing. It was okay then because its Friday and the next day was Saturday, a rest day. We ordered food as "pulutan" and beers. we started the drinking session at around 9:30pm and ended almost  2 in the morning. P.S. No liquor Ban that time so we were planning to stay till the sun shows up. However, one of my friend was already drunk and literally sleeping in the table, and vomited in his own shirt, so we were forced to stop since everyone then felt the cold breeze already and much intoxication. My friend called up the bill to the attending waiter. When the attending waiter saw me, he was surprised and suggested something to me and he apologized right then. The waiter said, "IKAW MAN DIAY NA SIR, SORRY SIR. AKOA NA LANG NI HATOD UNYA SIR O BAYRAN NA LANG NINYO KARON? PASENSYA NA SIR WALA KO KAILA DAYON SA IMUHA, DAGHAN MAN GUD CUSTOMER SIR.". Me and my friends had seconds of pause... then i said, "ITS OKAY, BAYRAN NA LANG NAKO NI KARON". It was really funny experience being mistakenly recognize as the owner of the restaurant. But the bad side of it, up until now i owe the restaurant 400+ pesos because we were short of budget to pay, it was because my drunk friend lost his wallet somewhere in the comfort room. I hope the attending waiter got it so that the deduction coming from us be saved and he be able to get a spur coming from us. Because of that experience, i never drink at that place again. Those were the last day I made a step over there premises. 

This experience of mine being wrongly branded happened just recently. It was Saturday night and the city streets is field with people from different places across the country since it was one of the major celebration in the city. My friend and I decided to look for a place to settle for a drink and it was not easy finding one because of the multitude of people celebrating the event. I remembered one of my occasional friend reminded me that they had a display stall in the street selling beers just near the enclosed streets with live band from different regions performing on stage. I was hesitant then because i was thinking the people would flood the place since the aura of the place was really inviting. So we risked the effort of going to the place since we have no choice and who knows we could find a good spot there. It was 11 in the evening when we finally met my friend and have a vacant table and seats for us. We then ordered a bucket and started drinking. The night was still booming with people just as if the people in that area have no interest of going home. It was almost 3 in the morning that time, then all of the sudden the person right beside our table tapped me and said something that changes all our moods. "PARE? PARE? KAILA KO SA IMUHA BA, CLIMBER KA DIBA? PAMILYAR KA KAAYO BA. KAUBAN MAN TA NAG CLIMB SA MT. APO LAST TIME. DILI LANG TA UBAN SA GRUPO. NAGA CLIMB PA KA KARON?". That was what the person said to me. I was thinking what to say to the person but instead just knodded "as if i was the one his pertaining to" and I said something that will spoil everything and come to a decision to escape from the area to avoid more talks and questioning. these words spoiled the scene, "WALA NA LAGI KO KA CLIMB KARON KAY BUSY, PERO LAST CLIMB KO SA SAMAL (take note: SAMAL)" when i noticed the feeling of suspicion among each other. I then said right away and ignored the person. And i thought my friends did not hear it but i was wrong, they were laughing at me all the way to my place. How could that be? the thing was that, there's no mountain in Samal that a climber could ever waste a time on.
