Have you ever had a lot nicknames? Ako i do and dahil wala ako magawa, ie-enumerate ko sila, in chronological order
1. Doy - tawag ng mga tito ko sa mother’s side
2. Lalay - tawag ng mga tita ko sa father’s side
3. Rulan - tawag ng mga kababata ko. my parents being visayans, had THE ACCENT. cyempre being kids, ginaya nila how my mum and dad pronounced my name. it stuck, unfortunately
4. Poland / Polandits / Polandito - tawag sa kin ng mga retarded kong mga kabarkada nung elementary hahahah. hanggang ngayon, yan pa rin ang tawag sa kin ng wlang katuturan kong matalik na kaibigang si joseph joven at ng kanyang butihing ina
5. Oskee / Eekso - tawag naman sa kin ng mga walang puso’t kaluluwa kong mga classmates nung high school. specifically designed to torture me (i hated the name with a vengeance but what the hell could i do i was a little kid - literally). eto ang tawag sa kin dahil lang sa Salazar ang apilyido ko. Anyway sa ngayon ang mga kabigan ko na lang ng homicidal maniac, anorexic pediatrician at tiny curly super woman ang tumatawag nyan sa kin
6. Kookoo / Cucularis Indicus / Koo / Koops - tawag sa kin ng college barkada. among all my names this is one of my favorites. this is me. this is who i am. yun lang napaka-unglamorous ng origin… kookoo dahil sa kulangot. bwiset.
7. Roland / Rols / Rolly (ewwww) / Roli-poli-oli - ayan formal na. cyempre kasi ndi na ko bata hahahah. tawag sa kin sa office ng mga taong nagpe-pretend na ginagalang ako hahahah weee
8. Dru - the latest na bansag ng aking new found friends (and family). Named after druid, yung napakagaling na scholar sa ragnarok hahahah
and of course meron pang mga in-between na tawag sa kin such as babe, honey, sweetheart, loveydoods, mahal, sugarbabes, daddy, papa, panget, at ang napaka memorable na daddykins. hehehe
my friend and i were talking earlier. napagusapan yung isang analogy that my orther friends have creatively put together to describe me and how i view love and sex.
"alam mo, ang babae, parang plantsa yan. matagal uminit, matagal lumamig… ang lalaki naman, parang ilaw. ang daling buksan, ang dali din patayin… sa case mo (ako yun) isa kang christmas light. patay sindi ng walang kapariwaraan"
ayos.
im 29 and the cosmos has given me not so subtle signs about how my life is going to be next year…
i met someone minutes before my birthday… we had a blast spent two hours together talking. sadly we had to part because i was full of chicken poop, i never had the guts to say what i really felt. yun lang… hindi ko nakuha number nya (MESSAGE FROM THE GREAT COSMOS: Stop thinking too much. Smell the roses, enjoy the scene)
kanina a rolling billboard (read: trucks that go around the city with a huge billboard propped on its bed) almost ran over me. i was rattled only to realize that the ad was for FRENZY CONDOMS (MESSAGE FROM THE GREAT COSMOS: Either i will die a very horny man OR i’m being reminded that using rubber will knock some sense into me in the future hihihi)
ano iniiii
i was out on a date…. with myself heheheh
i woke up really late. last night’s party was a blast, although…. forget it heheh.
took a quick shower and took off to the nearest starbucks for aome brew and started reading eragon. awesome book. devoured chapter after chapter till it was time for my appointment with the stylist. an hour and a hlaf later i was sporting a new hairstyle. then i decided to watch happy feet… so i hopped to another less-crowded mall to watch it alone. kinda weird but i got used to it. story was shallow but the cgi was out of this world. then i went to yet another mall to windowshop for christmas gifts for certain special people in my life.
it was almost 11pm when i got home. exhausted, but unusually happy…
EYE IN THE SKY
Don’t think sorry’s easily said
Don’t try turning tables instead
You’ve taken lots of chances before
But I ain’t gonna give any more
Don’t ask me
That’s how it goes
Cause part of me knows what you’re thinkin’
Don’t say words you’re gonna regret
Don’t let the fire rush to your head
I’ve heard the accusation before
And I ain’t gonna take any more
Believe me
The sun in your eyes
Made some of the lies worth believing
I am the eye in the sky
Looking at you
I can read your mind
I am the maker of rules
Dealing with fools
I can cheat you blind
And I don’t need to see any more
To know that I can read your mind, I can read your mind
Don’t leave false illusions behind
Don’t cry cause I ain’t changing my mind
So find another fool like before
Cause I ain’t gonna live anymore believing
Some of the lies while all of the signs are deceiving
I am the eye in the sky
Looking at you
I can read your mind
I am the maker of rules
Dealing with fools
I can cheat you blind
And I don’t need to see any more
To know that I can read your mind, I can read your mind
i had a very weird day…
everything started normal. i woke up late.
i brought a friend to my other friend’s house. i did my good deed for the decade… we cleaned up her place. la lang i just got the impulse to reorganize everything in my path. we finished early evening and decided to grab a bite.
we went to robinsons pioneer then we opted to just go get some coffee since we’re not hungry anyway. awa ng dyos walang malapit na starbucks so we had to walk papasok ng papasok ng pioneer… wala. took the trike ayun meron sa edsa central.
we had coffee… chatted a little the went home in opposite directions. then i realized i wanted to buy some dvds from guadalupe so i took the bus back. ayun nkabili ng corrs live in london. took the bus to monumento.
travelling regularly from the office to monumento by bus is really a long long long ride. ngayon, surprisingly, i was awake the whole time from guadalupe. siguro mga 45 mins to an hour yun. the whole time walang tumabi sa kin. not that i wanted someone beside me pero there was a point when all the seats were taken except the two seats beside me. (i was on the rigth side, yung tatluhan, and i was sitting right beside the window) the whole time wala talagang sumasakay. praning ako. is there something wrong with me? was i sprouting horns? do i smell funny? bakit kaya…
anyway nawala na sa isip ko yun. i was so immersed in my ipod. finally may tumabi. employee ng toy kingdom. sumakay ng north edsa. then pagdating ng muñoz, lipat agad to the nearest vacant seat. hala bakit ba kasi…
monumento na. bumaba na ko. sakay ng jeep na divisoria. there was this girl right beside me. then biglang lumipat sa kabilang side tumabi dun sa guy. turns out boyfriend nya pala yun. pero nkakapraning talaga kasi ng bakit ba walang gusto tumabi sa kin?
then it hit me. nakasulat sa t-shirt ko: TALK DIRTY TO ME
asus napagkamalan ata akong perv. bwiset.
