ang long weekend, isama mo na ang friday

friday

matapos kong magsagot ng mahahabang survey, we felt this sudden urge to search for food... and by food we mean, other junkies na hindi kfc, mcdo, or 711 stuff. we traversed ayala at around 1 am and when we realized that we're heading nowhere, we hailed a cab and had a sort of a joyride. we looked for kainan na open pa but the searching ended up in vain and we finally asked manong-patient-driver to drop us off at greenbelt - kung saan ang mga tao ay gumigiling at gumigimik na.
golly naman wala na ring open na restaurants... almost... kasi open pa pala ang kitchen (tama ba ang pangalan? kalimut ko na) 'til 2am.
so crepe and drama namin. at kape... ayos. nabusog kami for P200... watda... meryenda? 200? crap.
ohwell, balik din kami ng office to answer more surveys at maghintay for the clock to strike 6am... and uwi na woohoo!

saturday

saturday, i was supposed to go with mikey to visit his college friend - biktima ng hold-up at 8 stab wounds. God bless him... he's fine now...
pero dude, di ko talga kinayang bumangon ng 1030am... kaya hindi na rin ako sumama at natulog na lang ako. sabi ko mga 5 na ko gigising. weekend naman...
sabi ko lang yun dahil bandang 1230, kinatok ako ni kuya... dineadma ko... i thought if it's urgent, papatayin nya ko sa katok hanggang magising ako. so hindi pala... (i later on asked him why he was knocking at my door and he said wala lang daw, wala lang syang kasabay kumain ng lunch... ayos ka, bro... ang galing mo!)
so tulog ko ulit... at bandang 1pm, kinatok na naman ako. si win "ate..." he usually doesn't call me pag kumakatok at hindi urgent ang issue... so i felt it was something worth listening to, woke up, and opened the door. there he was, perspiring and namumutla and all... mukang may nangyari. all he blurted out was "nawala yung phone ko"... and i asked for the details, eyeing him from head to toe for any stabs, pasa, or sign of pananakit (yeah call me morbid... but heck i was nervous! praning pa ako sa 8 stabs)... so wala naman... pay attention ulit sa story nya.
it was the most peaceful form of pandurukot story that i ever heard... he rode a bus, got off the bus, and realized his phone's gone. thank God. i thank you God for this. for all we know, the mandurukot could have done anything worse... and that's all he did. i'm even thankful di sya tinutukan or sinabihan nang "hold-up to!". chum, may sakit sa puso si wawin... minsan na syang inakbayan ng holdaper pero may mga taong dumating kaya walang nakuha sa kanya nun... thank God ulit.
so anyway, yun na nga, the phone was gone in an instant... and hindi ako nagrereklamo... nagpapasalamat pa nga ako at napaka-safe ng method ng pagkakakuha nung phone.
sa lahat ng mga mandurukot, if you can't find decent, moral ways of living... yeah go on living your so-called way of living (puro living)... pero wag na kayong manakit... salamat na rin at hindi nyo sinaktan si win. oh, nakausap ko pa pala si manong mandurukot... i asked him nicely kung napulot nya yung phone ng brother ko... tinanong nya lang kung nasan kami and killed the connection na. nakakakilabot kahit papano... mangausap ng mandurukot.

sunday

birthday ng papa ni mikey (pero nasa barko sya... may handa nevertheless). punta raw ako sa kanila... so after mass (si father pogi ang pari hihi), went off to meet mikey na and nag lunch na kami sa kanila... some parts of the story i'd rather not relay... kse medo waste of time eh and private... funny in some way how NOT communicating could formulate the worst thoughts in your head... both his and mine. but it all ended well. after an hour of clearing things out, we just laughed and said... "awww..." yun lang siguro. =) somewhere in between these events, my mom and kuya, uncle and tita fetched me sa cavite na rin dahil birthday party naman nung 1 ko pang tita sa qc. so ayun, the saturday with mike was cut short pero masaya naman dun with my relatives and pamangkins... kung saan sentro ako ng chismisan at joke dahil nakilala ng tito kong kengkoy si mike... argh... i'll have to live with this joke for the rest of my life haha.

monday

is rest day. my 2 uncles were here kanina... as usual sentro pa rin ako ng joke... and you think it ends there? pinakanta pa ako sa magic sing na dala ng tito boy ko... argh... sige mega sing naman ako ng "if the feeling is gone" kasi walang kawala na talga ako... at mukang yun lang ang kaya ng boses ko haha. nakisama naman ang tadhana... naubos ang battery ng mic. so it's not magical at all hehe... and the singing was also cut short. thanks, papa God hihi! at lahat sila... "nakaligtas ka dun ah!" sa inyong lahat, bleeeeh! sa akin ang huling halakhak bwahahahaha!

tomorrow, pasok ulit. oh, have i mentioned this? nalilito na ang katawan ko kung matutulog ba sya or hindi. parang yung mata ko, inaantok na hindi. konting madikit lang ako sa kama, parang gusto na pumikit ng mata ko... i'm so lito.... hihi... lito but happy.

and to sum it all up, the weekend went well. funny how certain things have to happen, and you'll just have to explain not to defend but to make things known... and everything turns out ok. and you go on loving and living. and you realize it's not what you think, instead you are sooo loved. funny how you could be thankful even if certain so-called "valuable" things are taken away from you... and you just think positively and realize that it's great it's not your life that was taken from you... it's the most valuable thing after all. funny...
