please.

Pare, a la una y media na ngunit gising ka pa rin.

Di ka madapuan ng antok.

Dahil sa kape na naman ba ‘yan?

O dahil sa ibang bagay?

Magbukas ka kaya ng serbesa?

Hayaan mong iduyan ka ng alak hanggang sa mahimbing ka.

Wala lang. Basura blog. lolz

May tatlong iba’t ibang taong nanlibre sa kin sa dalawang magkaibang coffee shop. Syet, masakit din pala sa ulo ‘yun.

I was chewing my nails while waiting for my name to be called. I was anxious, sleepy and somewhat hungry all at the same time. There was a man on my right who was wearing a hospital gown probably in his forties. He looked sick. And I assumed he’s a cancer patient. His wife was sitting beside him, attending to his needs. His doctor called him and accompanied him to the laboratory room. His wife waited.

I heard someone calling my name – a doctor. I nodded at her and gave her a warm smile. She asked me some questions that I readily answered. When she was finished asking preliminary questions, she gave me some instructions and told me to wait for the nurse who’ll give me a test dose to check if I’ll develop allergic reactions to it.

Fortunately, all the preliminary tests were okay.

Another nurse handed me a one-liter plastic container filled with a special solution which they call contrast medium. She asked me to drink 80% of it as fast as I could so that we can proceed with the actual test as soon as possible. It took me less than a minute to do what she asked me to do.

When she came back, I told her the time I finished drinking 80% of the magic brew. She then gave me a hospital gown and instructed me to wear it. “Be sure to remove any metal,” she said.

Mukhang maaadik ako dito a…

This is where I lived when I was still in Malaysia.

big time.

The rain pours hard as I leave the office. I try to get a cab but to no avail. So I decide to just walk.

I turn on my iPod and load an album of James Blunt. His songs and the cold rain are a perfect combination.

I raise the volume above maximum and pretend that I’m in another world. I snap my fingers, dance a little bit, sing along with James Blunt and never give a sh it about the people around me.

I am enjoying the moment.

I don’t care if my shoes and even my pants are soaking wet.

The weather is kind of cool. The perfect weather, I must say.

I head to a mall to have a nice dinner. I’m thinking that I should treat myself after having spent 5 hours in the office on a Sunday afternoon.

The mall is unbelievably crowded. Thank goodness, I only need to spend less than an hour in this people-infested place. I will soon find a quiet place and have a cup of tea or coffee and probably read a pleasant book.

Maybe I was a barista in my past life. I just feel so at home whenever I’m in a coffee shop – any coffee shop.

I love looking at lovely girls. I love watching them especially when they’re enjoying their coffee. I like it when they take a sip from a paper cup. Or even from a white porcelain mug. I find it sexy.

I am supposed to be reading A Theory of Learning for the Mobile Age but I’m getting tons of distractions. I decide to put it away and just continue with what I do best – watching moving works of art.

I suddenly wish that I smoke.

I take a last sip of the stale mocha, put my earphones on and leave.

‘Yon nga lang, ayaw ko lang talaga.
