Do I look like a snatcher?
This is a WTF question I have been asking lately. Ever since that incident that transpired at National Bookstore in Davao City during my -ugly- years, this question has been bugging my mind. You see when I was in high school, just before someone really loved me, my hair was semi-afro, with a moustache and goatie to boot, and let’s throw the very brown skincolor in the mix and just picture how messy and fugly I looked like. Picture it already? -This was btw around 1999- Ok let’s keep moving. And so I went inside National Bookstore just to look at magazines and then proceeded towards the exit door. Just right before I am about to go out, a security guard approached me, stopped me and began body searching me. Like WTF, I told myself. Do I look like a snatcher? Look mr guard, don’t you recognize my high school uniform! I am from Ateneo for pete’s sake. Well that didn’t bother mr guard and after a minute or two I was set free. That began a long hatred for the famous bookstore. Geez.
Then today, I rode a jeepney going home. I was seated right beside a guy. When I was about to put the coins in my pocket, this guy immediately grabbed his pocket to check his belongings. Like WTF mate, I know I am ugly, but you are darker than me and fuglier than me! Why in heaven’s name would I be interested in your things, I said to myself. So in retaliation, I looked at him and threw out a sarcastic smile and moved. I hope he got the message. But I was thinking, is it the constant paranoia that people always check their belongings while in the jeepney or is it just the way I look like?
This is both a curse and a blessing. Blessing because potential snatchers might think I am one of their comrade and curse because ladies and guys alike tend to be wary of me. Either way I will choose the former, but I am afraid that one day I will be the fall-out guy (fall guy, my bad).
haha, that’s the problem with society. they forget that even the most handsome boy can be a snatcher.
