I was supposed to meet with two g2g doc friends tonight to watch UP Film Institute's screening of Manila by Night. I know, I know, I just declared bankruptcy an entry ago, but hear me out first.
Manila by Night is the film where Cherie Gil won the coveted best acting award for a lesbian role in the highly prestigious QTV show, Pinaka. Dahil may kabataan pa ko nung pinalabas ito sa sinehan (and I'm sure chinop-chop na to sa cuts nung pinalabas), ngayon ko pa lang ito mapapanood if ever.
I excitedly came to work an hour earlier so I can leave 5ish in time for the 7pm screening. It's like waiting for the minute by minute progress of time. The day dragged on ever so slowly (because I've been monitoring the passing of the desktop clock) until 5:30pm finally came. I quickly left the office, withdrew from the bank my last money and texted the grrls. No reply. Agitated, I gave TQ (my doc friend) a call. No answer. Excitement was replaced with tension and worry. 6pm, still nothing. Defeated, I called gf to tell her my sob story. I decided with a heavy heart to just head home and catch the film another time.
In the bus going home (opposite to UP), TQ finally replied around 6:30pm. They're already there at UP. And I'm 2.5hrs away from them. Darn network connection for delayed messages! They were convincing me to still go even just for dinner. I asked if it's their treat and said silly no. No treat means no go. :)
At the LRT, I'm still feeling lost because of planned gimmick gone awry. Standing in the throng of masses, I distracted myself by observing three kolehiyalas still in their uniforms, proudly wearing their St. Paul University Manila necklace IDs. *Paumanhin kung may maapektuhan* I mused to myself:
Ang chackie (meaning chaka) ng mga taga-St. Paul Manila. Kung ganito magiging itsura ng mga g2g, magpapakastraight na lang ako!
I tried to not look at them anymore, but their loud voices scream of attention (maybe to compensate for their lack in beauty).
St. Paul MNL kolehiyala1: Si X hindi naman tumutulong sa 'tin.
St. Paul MNL kolehiyala2: Onga. Kaya naman natin e. kung gagalingan natin, maganda kakalabasan (kung anumang topic yun, I hope it's not an attempt to beauitify their faces, kasi galing na lang ng syensya ang makakagawa nun)
St. Paul MNL kolehiyala3: (eto na pamatay!) Kung talagang determinated ka, magagawa mo !
O di ba, ang sarap tumumbling?
Maya maya, nagsibabaan na ang mga determinated. Hay salamat. Next batch please. Marunong naman bumawi si God kasi bumulaga na lang sa harapan ko (as in halos dumunggol) and isang maputing babaeng pretty and sexy (siguro 1 month na Ponds whitening pa tisay na sya), naka-plunging neckline na green blouse, naka-mini skirts, wearing clunky green bracelet and ring. (I'm sure intentional na hindi sya nagnecklace). I definitely feel green with her.
Alam nyo naman sa lrt pag rush hour di ba? Siksikan na, maalog pa. Shempre, pati yung nasa ilalim ng green blouse umalog-alog na rin na para bang gustong dumungaw sa labas (I wish! Hehe). Buti na lang femme ako kaya kahit I kept staring at her neck below, hindi malisyosa ang dating, baka nga flattered pa sya. So ang lowlah nyo, pangisi-ngisi, este, pangiti-ngiti lang at feeling nakajackpot kahit pano. Eto na ang catch.
Chackie nyang kasama: medyo sumasakit ang balakang ko
Green girl: bakit naman?
Chackie nyang kasama: PMS e.
Green girl: (pabulong kay chackie) PMS? Pre-masturbation syndrome?
Sexy femme na eavesdropper: (ako yun! Wehehe. Isingit talaga sarili e) napalunok, nanlaki mata at naloka sa narinig
Chackie nyang kasama: nyeh. Pre-menstual syndrome.
Beauty can only take you so far. Sa case ko with the chackies, they took me to a determinated path. With green girl, well atleast umabot man lang kami sa masturbation, pwede na yun! ;)

oi mare. sayang nga na hindi ka nakasama. first and foremeost, sorry if hindi ko nakuha yung call mo, nakasilent kasi and naiwan ko sa loob ng car nung lumabas kami for isaw. alam ko kung gaano ka nakakainis yung feeling pag lumabo last minute yung plans na medyo inaabangan mo.
hmm, sabihan lang kita ng something about myself para sa future: if nag-agree ako to meet up or something, hanggang hindi ako nagsasabi na hindi ako pwede, it means tuloy ako. :) yan ha, para in case magloko ang globe or naka-silent ulit ang phone ko at hindi tayo magkausap ng maayos regarding future plans, you'd know.
last, ngayon ko lang nabasa yung blog mo kaya i had no idea na ganyan pala sitwasyon mo ngayon. parang sa lahat kasi ng napuntahan ko at nakita ko na mga tao, lagi akong nakakanchawan na manlibre kaya medyo malaki din gastos ko. kung alam ko lang, it would have been no problem na treat ko na lang yun if it meant na kasama ka namin that night. (naks!)
sa lahat ng mga dapat pupunta, kaming dalawa lang yung natuloy. at 5 lang ata kami sa loob ng videotheque. tapos may weird pa na nangyari dun sa movie na parang premature yung paglabas ng ending kaya paglabas namin, napakamot kami pareho ng ulo. hehe.
ayun lang naman po. sorry ulit about what happened. i really hope to meet up with you soon. grabe 2 times na tayo naudlot ha...
PMS? Pre-masturbation syndrome?
=> ano daw??? nakaka nose bleed ito ah! buti nalang maganda sha
=D.
