My companion and I were confident to finish our pics sa baba before going up. We were trying to make ourselves feel better na at least may advantage sa UBB kasi may seats na. Di na kailangan makipag unahan unlike sa floor standing (pero ang totoo siyempre like everyone bitter kami dahil rigged ang system lol).

Pag akyat namin lo and behold, lahat ng seats occupied na. We showed it to the ushers, saktong nasa tabi nila yung supposed seats namin. This was their explanation in verbatim "Ma'am sorry po ah. Nag decide na lang po kasi yung iba na magkakatabi silang barkada kahit magkakalayo yung seats nila."

Then they just stared at me helplessly and looked around in the higher sections to look for seats pero lahat magkakalayo na. That set me off. Grabe yung audacity ng lahat ng gumawa nito. Despite being angry, I remained calm BUT still asserted that I want our seats. We were so optimistic about it kasi we checked it and kita pa rin namin si Liv sa stage kahit malayo kami.

"Possible bang patayuin yung nasa seat namin?" I remained firm and loud enough to be heard ng nakaupo sa amin.

"Ma'am sorry po ah. Sila po kasi yung nagdecide na umupo tabi-tabi eh." What's worse ay yung nakaupo sa seats namin wala talagang kibo.

Medyo umiinit na talaga ulo atp. "I know and I understand, but we WANT to be in our designated seats na lang po. We also can't be separated due to logistics reasons"

The ushers gave in to my request and finally talked to the two people. Umalis din sila pero nakasimangot. Especially when the ushers repeatedly apologized tapos pinarinig ko sa kanila at sa barkada nila sa malapit samin na "No it's not your fault po, hindi po kayo ang hindi sumunod sa seating. Salamat po."

Lol I don't care. Amin yung seats na yon.

Isa lang talaga ang conclusion ko from all of this.

WALANG COMMON GOOD AND BASIC DECENCY SA PINAS. While I totally hate yung mga defenders ni blythe na ganun naman daw talaga ang sistema at kung may privilege din naman tayo gagamitin din natin (bc it perpetrates this bullshit system we all suffer in), na-realize ko na oo nga. Karamihan talaga sa inyo walang respeto sa iba at makakalamang kung makakalamang. Ang nakakainis ay pare-parehas na nga tayong gin*go ng fire nation, maglalamangan pa tayo.
