broom broom!

instead of riding the mrt, i usually take the bus going to work for two reasons. one, lesser effort. you could just imagine how my face would distort in dismay whenever that escalator would not work at times when i just needed it the most. two, all mrt employees would have been in their lovely abode by that time. well, graveyard shift and all that.

waiting for the bus is a dreaded moment for me, when most of my patience are being put to test. imagine a very late evening in philcoa with lesser people and lesser PUJs and PUVs. there would be a strong impulse to jump into the first bus that comes along. but i would have to wait for a specific one that is:

1) non -airconditioned ( airconditioned buses would go Ortigas Ilalim and would take me a lifetime before getting me to my beloved rcbc.)
2) Cubao Ilalim ( the usual heavy traffic is in this area, and yes the most unpredictable ones as well, so one can never be so sure maybe even if its 3 am)
3) Crossing Ilalim (don't you dare! this area apparently has been declared as the unofficial terminal where green lights don't exist. )

if i would want a hassle-free ride, I would have to patiently wait for this bus. otherwise, i would have to endure a journey through EDSA worrying for a heavy traffic i might encounter along the way. i would have to admit that there are times i would grow impatient and compromise ( "okay, so this is not a Cubao Ilalim but at least non-aircon and is Crossing Ilalim! could save some of my time.. Para manong, sasakay po!" or "oh my, i'll be late! all are ibabaws! let me have the next non aircon bus!"). and so goes that anxiety-filled ride.

in one of the bus rides i had, i wondered if waiting for the bus and for love are the same. but of course for the latter, there should be no room for compromises. i will not be able to take the anxieties along the journey. i know i would still want to wait for my " non-airconditioned, Cubao Ilalim, Crossing Ilalim" even if i would have to go against my own patience in the solitude, dark, sometimes even rainy nights. and when i would finally hop to go for that ride, i would gladly give my bus fare, together with all the sacrifices it may require from me to manong konduktor, and would say "it was all worth it". well, the Driver is in control. =)

Chorvah has its etymology from the Greek word cheorvamus meaning “for lack of the right word to say”, or “in place of anything you want to express but cannot verbalize”. Ibig sabihin pala, siya ay parang “aloha” sa wikang Hawaiiano, which can mean many, many things. “Chorvah” can be used as:

Noun: “ano” / “kwan”  / “or something”
“Ate  Glow, kelan yung birthday chorvah ni Big Mike?”
“Hoy, Vicky ‘to, whatcha gonna wear ba? The sporty or the chinese chorvah mo?

Adjective: used if you want to be polite.
“Ang chorvah naman niyan!” ( So, ano ba? Pangit ba o maganda? Baduy ba or ang arte?) They will never know what you really mean. How polite!

Verb: can replace any verb
“Chorvah lang ng chorvah!”

Chorvah is such an amazing word, it lets you choose your own adventure. At least you will never be accused of putting words in somebody else’s mouth. If you don’t have anything to say, or you can’t find the right word to say, or you want to say something but you don’t know how to say it, just say CHORVAH!

Variations: Chuvah, Chenes, Chenelyn
