on a wednesday night…
last wednesday night, Donna, Kuya, Luis, Borge, and I went to greenhills to have a playstation 2 fixed. all we were able to do, however was get a price on how much it would be to fix it (5K? yeowch… 0_0). hung out at gerry’s grill for a span of two bottles of beer and 3 separate trips to the washroom. by that time, it was already 9 pm and the boys were ready to call it a day. donna and i wanted to hang out a bit more, so we decided to kill time at one of the starbucks branches. to our surprise, Borge suddenly said he wanted to go with us, then Bich followed suit saying he was craving for some hot chocolate as well. pinilit na rin namin si kuya, so we all ended up in starbucks till 11pm.
**aside lang muna: mga laughtrip namin kasi nun, astig. bich ordered a venti hot chocolate then, a third of the way into his drink, he got up and got four packets of sugar - all of which he emptied into his cup! @_@ in the meantime, borge was telling this story about a news report he saw on tv. can’t really remember much about what he said, but all i remember are these few lines:
Borge: "pinaglihi kasi sa syokoy (siokoy?) yung tao. nilagyan siya ng buhok, inayusan ng itsura…"
Luis: "ano na itsura niya ngayon?"
Borge: "ayun, mukhang syokoy (siokoy?) na inayusan!"
bigla ko tuloy naalala nun yung movie na pinanood namin ni cy sa gateway (shake, rattle, and roll)! that was why i kept laughing at that time… kahit na hindi na yun yung pinag-uusapan nina borge, sige pa rin ang tawa ko. i kept seeing the creature from the second part of the movie. paano ba naman kasi diba? pinaglihi daw yung bata sa goldfish, kaya haLimaw ang itsura. dagdag pa sa visual na yun yung mga Lines galing sa movie: dahil dun sha nilunod sa aquarium ng kanyang ama dahil sha ay pangit kaya sha pinagmaskara, pinaglihi sa goldfish…
soLid Laugh trip back in december, and it was stiLL a soLid Laugh trip a few days ago… =)
now, around 11pm, everyone really had to go home (well, everyone except me…). i was supposed to go check out the pedicab station around the corner when i got the bright idea of waiting for my mom at my brother’s building (saves me the transpo fare too…). so we all hopped into the taxi that was waiting and sped off towards robinsons galleria. a few minutes into the ride, i realized that my brother’s shift wouldn’t start till 1 am. oh well…
anyway, because i had time alone to myself (a LOT of time actually), i grabbed whatever pen and paper i could find and started scribbling away… (my first paper was actually the cover for the empty malboro pack i had with me while the second page had to be scribbled on a starbucks table napkin.)

sitting once again outside a starbucks branch (this time along emerald avenue), it’s been about an hour and 1/2 since kuya dropped me off here. ordered a grande vanilla cream drink then took a walk and found myself in…
metrowalk. 0_o ang haabaaa ng nilakad ko. thought i’d chill at the starbucks branch there but thought better of it.
walked around the parking lots a bit then found myself…
back in the emerald avnue branch of starbucks. hay buhay! "stop with the walking!" a little voice inside my head whispers.
so i sit down and watch the events of the night unfold…
unfortunately, i’ve been sitting here for around 15 minutes already and nothing’s interested me so far. booooooringgg…
i wanted to walk towards EDSA, ride a bus going to taft/buendia, hop onto a bus bound to… well, anywhere but here.
(drink is still half-full. hardly drank anything on my walks… puro soundtrip eh.)
(start of second page)
buti di ako nabangga. i just remembered that aside from soundtripping while walking, halos lagi pa akong nakatingala sa langit.
there were no stars *again* because of the *ahem* "clouds" overhead. ang boring, taena! gloomy tignan… then i remembered that i’ll be going back to puerto in a week, so hah! oks na ulit.
pero again, i remembered something… or rather, someone. actually, i didn’t really think of someone in particular. i’m missing a lot of people right now. it would be nice to know that the people i miss feel the same way as i do. i hope they find themselves reminiscing about whateversecrets, laughs, or sob stories we might’ve shared together. haaayyy… i’m getting sentimental - and i HATE it when i get like this because it brings down my mood. ah, crap. enough of the drama for now…
so here i am, contemplating on whether to start walking towards my still-unknown destination (wherever my feet take me…), and i hear another small voice whisper:
"wag na kasing mag-isip…"
so i don’t think. i wait…
and curiously enough, i’m still here - unable to move anything but the hand that holds this pen. PAH!
another adventure put off. haaay, i guess it’s for the best since my mom wouldn’t appreciate me texting her to say that i’m on my way to god-knows-where and that i won’t be back till morning.
so tonight, i guess i’ve had enough. good thing that the moment of insanity had already passed. i can think clearly again…
WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING HERE AT 1 AM WHEN I PLAN TO GO ROLLERBLADING TOMORROW MORNING AT THE FORT?!!
i have no other excuse to give other than this… sabog eh. 0_o
haaaay buhay….
~~~
i never got to go rollerblading though. my mom was too tired and i woke up late anyway. 0_o dein din nakapagpa-ear piercing kasi nag-cancel si Jowee (had some errands to do i guess…). so i sLept aLLLLLLLL daaaaaayyyy Looooooong…
