"Bosing, kukuha ako ng isang kaha ng Coke litro."
"Kolk?"
"Oo, Coke."
"Kolk?"
"Coke."

I fell in line at the cashier of our local convenience store to pay for the case of Coca-Cola. We don't buy our soft drinks per bottle, we buy them in cases at a weekly interval. It's cheaper that way. In that certain convenience store, we would leave the empty bottles at the guard, pay the bill inside the store, and wait for the items to be brought out of their warehouse. I've been buying there for almost 3 months now and the guard always assists me and tells me what to do. The guard there already knows me by face and as soon as he sees me, we just follow our routine. I leave the empty bottles at the door, he hands me a bill, and I pay at the cashier. Even the cashiers there know my routine. But today was different. A new guard stationed at the door gave me the bill.
"Boy, patingin ulit nung papel." he took the bill from me while I was in the line. Then he scribbled something on the piece of paper and returned it to me. I looked at it and saw that he stroke out 'Pepsi' and wrote 'Coke' above it. Didn't I already told him that?
I handed the cashier the bill and my payment. Then the cashier asked me: "Malamig? Hindi naman malamig binibili mo dati a?" "Hindi nga." I answered her. Our convenience store is weird, they charge extra for refrigerated items. Cold Coke is more expensive than warm Coke. "Cold nakalagay dito a. Guard, baguhin mo to. Mag-aabono tayo nyan."

"E ma'am, sabi nya malamig daw!" The guard objected.
"Hindi a." I replied.
"Oo e." he rebutted.

I specifically did not remember saying 'malamig' so I had the bill changed and payed the ordinary fare. Then as I left the convenience store, I remembered our little conversation,

'Kolk?'
'Oo, Coke.'
'Kolk?'
'Coke.'

Aaaaa... so that was it! Want to have some kolk kolk?
