What's Wrong With These Eyes?

The sun's rays are blinding my unsheathed eyes as I open the windows. They were immersed from the artificial light the whole time, barely blinking from the stressful rays of the CRT. I cannot peer through the window to look over my dog which constantly barks for the reason I do not know.

I kept myself busy. I did the chores as early as five in the morning to keep me tired so I can finally take a rest after. To no avail, I am still sitting infront of this PC. Trying hard to strain my eyes so I will be forced to sleep. Still, I can't.

When will I be able to take even a nap to restore my energy. The black circles around my eyes are getting wider. I might be mistaken as one of the casts of the Dawn of the Dead. Damn! Tomorrow's a Monday and I must be in a healthy look. Maybe I just need a time to lay on bed and practice closing my eyes. I might fall asleep. Anyway, my sister's already up so she can look after the house now. Gotta do some napping session. I hope I can. ;)

I Must Tell You This

These past few nights, I have not seen the moon. It seemed to be hiding behind those dark clouds. Only the stars are visible at nights, oftentimes, not. Last night, I gazed at the sky and only saw the stars. They are countable unlike the other nights when I was still able to see different forms and figures. After I doze a little, I was awakened by the heavy downpour on the roof. And I knew nothing twinkled and shone anymore that night.

But one thing I forgot to tell you. I saw again the same moon that captured me. I just forgot when that night was specifically. I was surprised the feeling once again took over me. I was glad I was able to see him again full figured covered with light.

Tweetiums Gathered

Wow! Last night was one of my greatest nights for this year as my Highschool circle met together to celebrate our Christmas. The group only meets rarely a year, once or twice. Emz was not with us that time as she was in Gensan with her family. We set this date so that we can meet each other before the year ends. The night was really a fun. We were able to bond with each other and fill those times when we have not met. Christmas is gift-giving so we have our exchange of gifts too.

The Last Day of Bet

I actually greeted this year's last day with some friends. Except that I did not meet sunrise after the whole day's bonding. I was hoping I was awake 24 hours to greet the day with a visit at the church but I unconsciously lay asleep on the bed as soon as I got home early. I mean early in the morning.

The year has been good to me minus the recent incidents that quite affected me. Nonetheless, the year was great. After all it was the Year of the Rat, my year.

At two in the morning, I shyly smiled as I remembered I have a bet with a friend. And today's the last day that a fulfillment must be done. I thought I would be anxious but knowing that I cannot make a miracle in a day, I just smiled. My friends wondered why. I just gave no answer. I know that I must not cling on to something that I have no power of. Maybe this year was not a good bet for me, even last year, or maybe even the next year.. *sigh.. Yet I still did a bet this year. Starting tomorrow...

Same Species

We were at the coffeeshop that time waiting for an email from London which will be our soonest nest. While Thea and I were talking, a guy from the outside who belongs to the same species of the cat caught the attention of Thea. She then asked me how was the cat. I gave no reply except for 'I don't know'. Well, that was the best and the only answer I could give lol. We continued to discuss different topics when a local guy approached our table and asked for something which is mine. I was shocked receiving such an unexpected approach. I asked him why, replying that his friend was persistently asking for it. I told him to tell his friend to come over and talk to us straight. So he did.

He joined us in the table. He is of the same age as mine. Oh, and Thea identified him as the one who stood outside the shop just beside us. I was fairly impressed by his conversation skills. He was sociable and charming. The conversation was interesting, and so was he. Thea and I left the shop almost midnight.

He was different like all other his same species. That was I thought before we left. But it seems that their character stereotyped them all.

Thea and I laughed thinking how good he could have been if not for the manner he showed. Whew! Another character we must include in our list of do’s and don’t’s.

The Shirt Was Sold

I met with my good friend tonight planning for a group Christmas party. As usual, we were the constant partners when it comes to circle plans and outing. After a few drinks and songs with Korean friends, the two of us went out for coffee and finally made options available for our group's approval.

Going home we realized it's another mallwide sale. I complained how the shirt I planned to buy the other day ran out of stocks in the malls I went. I forgot it was midnight sale last night. All stocks were no longer available when I came back at the two malls. I should have brought that shirt long before. I was thinking and hoping I would find better style at the other mall but to my dismay I found no better one. Worse, when I went back, it was no longer available. I was dismayed. I should be giving that to a friend by Monday next week.

I then remembered what my friend told me. When she and her 'candidate' were talking, she once told him, 'It's like buying a shirt in the mall. You love that shirt very much but you decided to leave it there for a week because your finances cannot afford it. But after a week, when you have all the finances, you went back to buy it but unfortunately, it was no longer available to you. It was sold out.'

The lesson? If there is something or someone you wanted the most, grab for it while it is still available to you. You might be disappointed that the one thing you've been dying to own is already taken by somebody else. And you were left to choose with the 'not so good' ones...

Oops!

For tonight, the time with my little cute brats has ended. The little one gave me a DIY beaded bracelet which touched me very much. I left their house.

I was now walking along the dark lonely streets away from their home. While waiting for the economic transportation in the dimmed corner, a vehicle passed me which I presume was the father of the little girls. I waved. The driver stopped and looked at me as if confirming if he knew me. I realized I mistakenly identified him. I looked down trying to cover the shame and so I was just texting my friend to console the feeling. He drove ahead. Hooh! I felt relieved. But wait! The car turned back. Worse, it parked just five steps before me. My knees were trembling and my heart pumping intensely. The shame was overshadowed with fear. I must not get nervous, I told myself. So I pretended I was not scared at all. The car stayed there for ten minutes I think and then off he went back to the other street. For another round, I felt relieved. Fortunately, the tricycle arrived and off I immediately got in. When we are about at the middle of the road, I looked back and found the car following me. There was an intense rush of blood felt. I was getting more and more nervous. Why is he following me again? I only mistook him as another person by waving at him lately but it should not be like this. The car drove faster than I was riding and stopped at the crossing of the village just before the tricycle arrived. I went down trembling with fear. If anybody looks at me they might notice the pale look I had. I crossed the street and stayed on the other side without looking at the car. I was about to ride taxi going to a party but the fear that he might follow me prompted me to ride jeepney instead. Whew! I finally got out in the situation. I do not know how I will ever go back this evening again in that place.

Chasing a Guy

Wooh! I never thought we will end up chasing a guy on Saturday night. Was it still night or early in the morning? Whenever that was, the feeling was very odd... but exciting too. lol. Oh well let me go into details.

The whole Saturday was an exhausting day. I did work and play. From Fagioli to Brueggers' to Promenade to the streets of Davao, we unrelentlessly toured the city.

Autoshop was not our place as we didn't fit the atmosphere of the youngs. It was just too loud for us. After my friend's meal and a burger at 11PM at Bruegger’s and Spaceburger, we went back to the car and planned for another hop. As we were planning, my friend spotted this cute guy at Shiatsu, so she parked her car infront of the parlor and waited for that guy to come out. He went out the parlor, entered his car and started the engine. Now the two cars faced each other. We moved backwards so he can go out the area. His car's front light was too glaring that we cannot have a glimpse of his face. We were all staring at his car until we finally got the position where we can see the driver's seat, and the driver of course. Yeh, he was really cute. He looked at his left side (our car parked on this side waiting for him to move out) so he can check if it's safe to turn. He sluggishly smiled. My friend was twitterpated with the responsive smile. We followed his car but he slowed down. We drove ahead and now the two cars are situated side to side, we looked at him and my friend loudly smiled. (what’s the term? Lol) Now we’re ahead. We turned left to Torres. My friend on the backseat chillingly told us that the car was following us. We were all electrified and shouted but driving ahead, a car overtook his position. The vehicle between us broke the excitement as he turned left and was misled. That excitement caused us to move around Torres Ave. and look for him but we couldn’t find him anymore. We went to Rizal Promenade to check if he would party there but found my dear friend Chet and his friends instead. We stopped awhile and had chitchats for few minutes and off we went back to the massage parlor where that guy just went. We got his name but not his number. We again went back to the Torres area hoping we could still find him but unfortunately, not. At least we got his name and the plate number before we end our day. Whew! That was something I did very odd but exciting. Lol. Well at least we took part on my friend's excitement. We did that for her. ;)

Short-term Amnesia?

Whew! Where have all those previous writings came from? I seemed to be a stranger to what I wrote in this site. lol. But really, I have difficulty remembering. Or maybe I was just too exhausted today to remember anything. hehe

The world last night put me into a stance that I woke up drained this morning. Whew! I could have slept in the office but I must not.

Memories

Memories flashing back… Well, this is what my friend texted me as soon as she woke up this morning. Memories… Hmmm.. they were flashing in me yesterday. There are those moments when I doubt its sincerity but they are more overshadowed by great happy memories (because my friends lift me up all the times). We always sit and talk over a cup of coffee. (We just had a stop last night at Tata Benito's)

My life’s getting ordinary each day but two things keep me holding each day. No, three. :D My November, December and January. *sigh! And everything will end and begin next year.

Shocked

I was busy working with our newsletter when at exactly 2:01PM, I received a message from a friend's friend explaining something which I really don't care at all. How would you react to something that is beyond your control? I mean, this friend of mine has his life and I don't care if he messes it up. It's his. It happened a week ago but it became a big issue in their community today. I was shocked when I received the message. I was emotionally disturbed.

Then here comes his friend explaining his friend's side that I misunderstood his personality. That I misunderstood everything that night. I immediately responded with both tone of sophistication and respect that I do not care who he meets with. Mean but nice. I ignored all the messages but replied once. His friend says he was reprimanded and they talked with their elder brother the whole afternoon. Since then I haven’t received any messages. I still hope everything would come out ok. Haaaay….

SPILLING? SPELLING?

Thea, before you spill everything out, I'm SPILLING it now! Is my SPELLING correct? hahahaha!

I went out with some friends last night to breathe a little. From the office yesterday afternoon, I met Thea at gmall, sipped coffee and had little conversation. My friend came and I introduced Thea. We had dinner and we were driven back to the office where my officemate was waiting for me. She badly needed someone to talk to so I went back. We went to gateway to had some drinks. In the middle of the conversation, I mispronounced the SPELLING as SPILLING. I looked at Thea and I began to laugh hard, harder. Thea too. But my friend and officemate plainly looked us at and began to wonder. Then we explained why. Thea was laughing hard, saying our English diction and grammar would soon become poor if we continue to converse with these people. We were laughing hard. She said we do not need to be very particular this time as we were talking to them. I became too conscious with my English then; trying to speak slowly and clearly so I won't be making mistakes. Boredom hit us so we changed place and did videoke. Before the midnight strike, we went home. We were driven home but I insist we just drop by at Thea's place. I instantly slept when i got home.
