Sine July we’ve been encountering an old couple there and they’ve really started to interest me a lot. We’d normally see them already at one of the couches either asleep or eating breakfast beside their numerous plastic bags and bayongs filled with clothes (I think their clothes at least). Sometimes I’d see the old woman wear an ateneo shirt or jacket to warm herself up and she’d normally bring an ateneo bag. She seems like a really nice old lady, and the Mcdonald’s staff seems to have become acquainted with her as I saw her talking to the manager one time and the manager seems to be laughing really joyfully (though this is part of her job).

I asked my dad this morning what he taught of the couple this morning and mind you I’m not one to seriously believe everything my dad says right away but well…

He says he’s seen them before, back when he owned a shop in filbars he’d find the old lady hanging out at dunkin donuts. He’d spoken with the old lady a few times before and he says that she says (ok this sounds so unwell reported) she used to be a spanish language teacher in the ateneo but she retired but she’s been trying to re-apply for years but she has never recieved a single word about her application. She spends her time in Katipunan now waiting if there would be a follow up, she used to sell watches and small trinkets along katipunan and she’d wash her clothes in the dunkin donuts CR.

It really didn’t take long during july for me to realize she was homeless but she seriously doesn’t look poor, she pays for what they eat at mcdonald’s everyday, she doesn’t beg but I do think that’s where they sleep now.

That couple just really interests me and I don’t know I’m writing this hoping that someone else might get interested as well and try to find out more. Its really intriguing, an old woman in a manang style skirt or daster wearing an ateneo jacket one day just appearing in mcdonalds in the morning with bags full of clothes and cloth.

This friday when we go to Mcdonald’s for breakfast again I’m gonna ask the old couple to sit with us, this is just really sad.

Anyways, I’m a little frustrated right now as the topcase of my macbook cracked again! I wonder why apple hasn’t honored this as a product defect yet! It’s a good thing that I still have Apple Care Warranty so I can have it replaced anytime. I recently learned that if you find your apple product breaking thrice you can have it replaced but I wonder if my top case could fall under those breakage. If it is then that’s two down.

Ynzal, a really highly recommended service center had their apple official reseller status removed recently and because they had a lot of patrons, they had a red tag sale last week to honor the support the community has given them. The prices we’re really great and I was able to get this great 4mac Macbook hard shell case. I got it in blue because I wanted to have some of the scratches hidden. Kind of Looks cool in blue doesn’t it? And the apple backlight is still very much visible as well!

But sadly the big crack is still visible, which is why I’m looking for a proudskin! Anyways I’m still in the ACTM room and my dad is already calling me… waaah have to run!
