What a Shame!

January 23, 2008

I was riding in a bus going to the Ateneo at around 7:30 in the morning this day. Actually, this is the earliest time I went to school just because I have a consultation on my English paper. I am sleepy when I was in the bus, maybe bacause I am not "immune" on early start of school works. So, because I am afraid to sleep in the bus and then wake up in a place I don't know, I started comforting and waking myself by noticing things around me...the people there who are also sleepy like me, the conductor who do not stop walking (maybe he is just trying not to be sleepy), the students in their uniform (worst than our dress code), and the most bothering thing that I see....a sign printed above the bus's window saying "Keep tickets for INSPICTION"...It is not the first time that I see the sign but I never notice it like I did this day....I really don't know what should my first reaction should be, not because it is too funny or erroneous but because I don't even know if it's spelling is right or wrong....Of course at first I really have a strong feeling that it is wrong and that is why I giggle as I see it.....However, after a second, I pause for a moment and think if it's really wrong or it's only me who find it wrong....So, I doubted myself and think over and over again what the spelling really is.....Until the bus stop in Katipunan, I still don't know if the spelling is "INSPICTION" which is the speling printed on every bus that I see or "INSPECTION" which I doubted if right or wrong....But thanks to boosting technology such as the computer.....Before I went to my english paper consultation, I first went to the "COMPUTER CONSULTATION" for the most bothering thing I saw on the bus.....So I type in the computer....i.....n....s....p....e....c.....t....i...o...n.....and I press (Enter).......then suddenly, no red line appears.....which means that I am correct.....but I am still in doubt.....maybe the spelling and grammar check is off.....so i checked it......but guess what....it's ON!!!!!......then I type the spelling on the bus.....i....n....s....p....i....c....t....i...o....n.....(Enter).....and the red line appear.......Suddenly, I feel the happiness and fulfillment of mysteries unsolved....the two ends of my lips then pulled up (hahahaha!!!!!.....at last...).......However, it is still a shameful thing that I am bothered by the word "Insp(i/e)ction"......what will my English teachers will say when they knew it? I guess they will just laugh and tease me.....but well what should my response be??.....easy....."to err is human, to forgive is divine..."...hehehe... :p......"but if you are not human you might not be like me.....(hahaha)......and so, the next thing happen???.....my life continues...... :p
