Saturday
i woke up late and as far as i could remember, i took 3 slices of bread and a glass of orange juice. Gonna meet Tish at 4pm in UP Diliman to pick up something for Pussycat Dolls Tickets. Anyway, its still 12nn so i played (again) the only DVD i had… Little Manhattan. Okey, there are 5 DVDs in here but this is the only Hollywood movie available. In the movie, Gabe said that two and half weeks seems like eternity and guess what, 6 days of being alone is like living in hell.
it was 4pm and was standing in line to purchase a MRT pass… a train passed by (what the F@#*K?!), I was still in line! great, I’m so late ( i was thinking then…)! Think, think, think… ahhh my turn now, dropped a peso coin in a charity can for Red Cross, then i said:
"boss, Guadalupe po."
The cashier answered back, "San?"
"Sa Guadalupe… isa lang." i replied in a louder voice.
"Saan ba punta mo?" with a grouchy face of the cashier.
"Ay, sa Quezon Ave. pala!"
The hell… what was i thinking, i’m in guadalupe station purchasing Guadalupe pass??? The shame, the horror!
i dropped off in Quezon Ave. Still reminishing what had just happened a while ago at the Guadalupe station. Anyway, its 430pm and Tish texted me already that she’ll be waiting at the UP grandstand. Grrr… I might be late in the office, but not during lakwatsa! i can feel the rush now… i decided to take a cab. Damn! those cabs weren’t available, making excuses that they’re going home already. "yati! nagtorno pa ang mga amaw, mamili man diay og pasahero!" i miss Holiday taxi…
I finally met Tish and felt sorry for the tardiness. To my luck, it’s the Devils vs. the RP Team Ultimate Match (Frisbee Baby!). Tish told me that i already missed the drills but i can observed how they play in the field. Hmm.. is that Derek Ramsey? I can sense that Loohann was drooling while i texted her. Haha! Anyway, i eventually understand what Tish really meant when she talked about strategies and game plans about Ultimate in Davao: the cuts, the fakes, stacks, swings, high jumps and low passes. Damn! a live demo! They’re good! Wish i had a cam to show it to the STD, maybe next time…
Off to Aunt’s house in Sta. Mesa. i took LRT 2 from Katipunan and still i could remember the terror in Guadalupe. I called my aunt if she’s available for a movie in SM centerpoint. She said yes, and we’re going to watch Superman Returns (my second time). Just my luck, i’d seen it already… the theater sucked! i can only see tiny Superman and Lois Lane whispering to each other while the children were screaming and crying because the place was so dark! Far out! Why the hell these parents bring their 3 year old children that can hardly understand what Superman was trying to say. Why can’t they just stay at home and buy DVD… Pirate Rules!
Sunday
As usual, i do not have mornings at weekends (exemptions to lakwatsas! hehehe). No plans, I wondered where people gone. Ahh… church! They didn’t bother to invite me anymore since they already knew that i’m a non-practicing catholic. Takot lang nila baka tatanungin ko na naman kung ano ang Homily ng pari at ala na naman silang masagot. Hahaha.
Anyway, i was bored again. i tried to weigh myself and whoa… i’m 8 kilos heavier in a span of 7 days. my hands are still itching for a toss. i badly need a practice, but instead, i asked christine and girard for a coffee talk. Only christine replied and suggested a better idea… movie marathon! Amazed, i asked her where to buy pirated dvds (captain jack is back!). She told me i could buy some pirated dvds at Shaw Boulevard which is nearer to her pad.
When i arrived at Shaw, i tried asking some stalls on where i could buy pirated dvds. Asking questions around are common in the city like this, whether you live here or not. Tell you more about it later. Buying DVD especially when it is pirated is pretty much scary in this place. Vendors are so careful not bump in with the Optical Media Board (OMB) or perhaps anti-piracy agents. Take this example, In a stall, only 4 or 8 dvd posters can be seen. I asked if they have "The Davinci Code." The saleslady whispered to me that she had one at the back and she went out to pick it out, if only i am willing to wait. Eagerly i said if i could go with her so that i can choose other movies, but instead with a frown look at her face, she insisted and went back to her place and left me all alone. Wow! do i look like 007? If only i introduced myself as Captain Jack Sparrow and i think there will be no problem with that. Anyway, i looked around (again) and found a guy with a Dead Man’s Chest (pirated goods). I purchased 3 videos and asked for a discount, although i know they are cheap already, just to test my marketing skills, yet still it didn’t work! Pirates’ Code… lousy me!
At christine’s pad with her friend joy, we watched The Davinci Code, despite the fact that only christine haven’t seen the movie. Lucky for her she haven’t read my review about it. After the movie, they offered me to stay for dinner with the condition to help them cook the shrimps! Hmm… i missed cooking but i just don’t remember how to cook the shrimps, but still i said YES! It’s shrimps for Christ sake! Well, CSI supreme sunday was on and my lab rats are pretty much cooperative but i guess they haven’t enjoy it (I think i miss something, sorry!). I will make up to you guys some other time. Oppsss… it’s late and i have to leave since Manic Monday is fast approaching. We said our goodbyes and i gave thanks for their warm welcome.
I decided to take a bus at Shaw Boulevard. Two ladies approached me for directions. See? i can tell from the tone of their voice that they are Manileñas and the proud Dabawenyo gave them one, "Ahm, sakay na lang po kayo ng Bus papuntang LRT-Ayala-Leveriza, tapos baba kayo sa kantong Makati Avenue. Aircon bus lang ata bumabyahe dun." What a relief?! I can now tell directions in Makati City. Then suddenly, one of the ladies asked, "Magkano po ba pamasahe ng Bus?" What a freak??? I can tell directions but i am not a bus conductor! Eventually we took the same bus but i stayed away from them to avoid furthermore questions.
It is known in this metro that buses have sound system or television to ease the boredom during trips. But hell is always on my side. A passenger beside me competes with the broken radio speakers. Damn stations who used to play music that you could find in the videoke machines. Songs like My Love Will See You Through (Marco Sison) and Only You (Sam Milby). Imagine he sang with feelings and high tunes… Far Out! When the bus took right to Ayala Avenue, He asked me if the bus would go to Baclaran, I nodded. I know he’s lost (evil grin) but still no pressure with him (i lost the battle, fahk!). The bus stopped at Paseo street and i remember the two ladies, still didn’t drop off. In short "Lumampas!" If only they asked the bus conductor to drop them off then maybe i can volunteer to kick their arse out!
At home (or maybe my pseudo home), Tatay was already asleep, unfortunately in the living room. Therefore i can’t watch my pirated dvds (*sigh*). I locked myself again in my six corner room. I grabbed a cigarette and smoked the hell out of me in the terrace. To my surprised… a flying cockroach! Ahhh!!! i hate flying cockroaches. But i was able to defend myself, smash that bitch up (wow, techno soundtrack yun ah!) and let it fall in 11th floor building!
It’s already Monday, 2am.. wish i have better days to come.
