My Looong Weekend
I don’t know where to start. I’ve been lost in circulation lately. I’ve got the worst week so far, and hopefully, it’s the worst already. Oh, since I have been so busy during this long weekend, then I might as well start on it.
First Day: Friday
COSA Work: Telemarketing
It was Friday morning when I woke up late since its ACP day and I was so lazy that I didn’t sign up or anything. In the afternoon, I did the COSA work and imagine that I have contacted around 30+ companies, and talked to them as-if I am a call center agent. I was laughing out loud, of course in a discreet manner since I was talking to them, because they kept on asking me to which company I belong. Haha, have I created a certain aura or impression to them? O-M-G, my head’s bloating already. Haha.
AMS Work: Trip to DV
After the COSA work, no matter how lazy I was, I still went to DV. It’s already 4.00PM when I left, and I arrived there past 5.00PM. How did it go? Worse! I rode the LRT 2 station given that it’s the only way I know how to get into DV. I stood from Anonas station all the way up to Recto. Even though I had the chance to grab a seat, I cared not to. Ewan ko ba, it feels guilty inside whenever you see women standing in front of you. It’s not that I pity them but there is this calling the bugs me whenever I do that. Oh well, it’s relaxing though. While I was busy standing and making my moment of sight-seeing (Imagine, it’s Manila in which all I saw where buildings and factories), the train’s aisle suddenly caught my attention. It’s kinda weird but at that very moment, I wished to grab a camera and take the aisle’s picture. I can’t really explain it but for your sake, just imagine that the people in the aisle were like having their own moments like mine. Solemnity and gratitude were the things I have seen and felt in a span of a few seconds. I want to be a photographer! Yikes!
I got off the train when I received Cookie’s call. I rode the jeep to Masangkay, which is near kathz’s place. If before, I used to ask for Kathz’s help to bring me to DV, now, I did it alone. Whew, what an adventure! It was already dark when I got off the jeep, and to my disgust (not really) I saw a lot of horse dungs!?! I wonder why since Patty’s not with me. Haha. Kidding aside, I’ve totally realized that the dung mismo is fibrous, because scientifically the horse eats a lot of fibers (grass). Yuck, feeling scientist. Was it a clarification or a correction? Oh well.
As usual, DV’s chaotic but it didn’t hinder me from pursuing my goal, which is to get the AMS shirt from Pen-Pen which is all the way to Juan Luna. Imagine how far I have traversed, starting from Masangkay, to Soler Ave., to Meisic Mall, to 168 Mall, and finally into the wilderness (what a term!) of Juan Luna. I arrived at Pen-Pen to see Mei Hao at around 5:35. Unfortunately, she’s out eating somewhere so I stayed and waited for her. She arrived after 15 minutes and sarcastically, I thank her for not having the shirt ready. I was kinda pissed since she’s texted me that it’s already for pick up 3 days ago pa! And at that time, should I think that I wasted time? Argh, all I did is to make a deposit and leave right away.
The Email
I went to see Kathz made a short chit chat and left since it’s already 6.30PM. The series of unfortunate events continued to prevail since I was caught in the middle of a heavy traffic going back to the LRT station at Recto for more than an hour! I arrived home past 8.00PM. I checked my email and I have read something that made me feel so depressed. But I won’t expound on it since the people I am referring to can hardly get my point, so I just replied to those who could pay attention.
Friendships
After PBB, I went online and chatted with Patty and Pigey until 4.00AM. We’ve talked about a lot of things. With Patty, napagtibay ang aming pagkakaibigan. It made me realize that sitting down and talking about things really helps you grow, spiritually. I love you Patty! With Pigey, I’ve realized how lonely we are thinking that we’re the only guys in the block, ignoring Roy who happens to be delayed and who happens to have a life now that he has someone called Odette. It has been our bonding moment, the ultimate open forum. Meron lang talagang mga taong panira at naninira ng buhay at walang magawa, buti nalang may lunas na pag-uusap and it helps clear and straighten things up.
In a friendship, I believe, there’s what we call a certain level of understanding. And friends should cling with it and be consistent. Of course, in life, there’s the protagonist (Ang magkakaibigan) and a lot of antagonist. To further build your friendship, each one should watch out for these antagonists who rant out a lot bad things and rumors that could really destroy the trust (bond) and understanding. Buti nalang talaga, there’s the mighty glue, ang usapang marangal, that brings back the friendship and helps us to cling more to that understanding. Whew. Pigey, we rules!
There was a great need to end the conversation asap for I have to wake up early for our museum trip to Ayala. Otherwise, papatayin ako nila Kathz and Che!
Second Day: Saturday
Ayala Museum Trip
My mom was so stressed waking me up, hindi talaga ako nagigising. She’s so thankful to Che who called me that morning. Sobrang sabog ng pakiramdam ko, bangag in a sense. Hindi na dapat ako tutuloy pero sabi ni Che, they’re willing to wait for me. I got up and hurriedly get myself fixed. Although tired and starving, I left the house right away.
I arrived at Gonuts Donuts Araneta, our meeting place around 10.35AM but miraculously, I was the first one to arrive. Grabe, I was not late. Yeah yeah, late in a sense pero hindi ako late. Labo! While waiting, I bought 2 Gonuts and it turned my stomach kasi sobrang tamis! Yikes! Finally, they arrived and we went to Ayala na thru MRT.
Take note of our goal and purpose: To pay a visit to Ayala Museum as a requirement of our history class. We arrived at the Ayala station before 12.00noon. They dined in at Oody’s samantalang ako, feeling sick because of the Gonuts. Not in mood to eat. Tapos, we waited for like 20+ minutes waiting for their order pero wala pa rin. So ako, sa init ng ulo ko, sumugod ako sa counter at nagbossy-bossy-han. Haha. I scolded the crews kasi ba naman noong lumapit ako, doon pa lang nila inaayos yung order. Shit sobra, tapos the girl reasoned out, kasalanan daw ng printer at hindi na-print ang order nila. Grabe, nauna kami sa ibang customers pero nauna silang nakakain at umalis. Oh well, warning to those who wish to eat at Oody’s. Make sure to follow up your orders frequently at baka makalimutan nila. Tapos, nag Globe tour pa kami.
There’s this promotion on going for Globe. They have this big shuttle with different stations. One of which is the picture taking na gagawin kang cover person ng magazine. Basta, the pic that they’ll give you is of size 4R which shows a cover page of a mag with you, of course, as the model. Labo ba ng explanation ko?! Wah! You might be wondering on how we were able to get in since the primary requirement is that you should be a Globe user, and si Kathz lang ang Globe sa amin. Haha, here’s the trick. Isa isa kaming pumunta. Kathz lent her sim to Che and after che, she lent me her fone for the reason that my fone is not open-lined. Amazing ba?! Haha, Ooops… we need to go to the museum pa! Haha, nakalimutan namin. Haha.
We went to Ayala Museum. Asteeg! Sobrang ganda! Promise, with all the paintings! Super amazing! Art lovers should pay a visit! Asteeg talaga! But the thing is, wala ron ang hinahanap namin. It annoyed us that we went to all floors and only found around 10 artifacts! Grabe, at puro mga camiso at panyo! Hello? We’re looking for prehistoric pots, weapons, etc. but what we’ve seen were from the Spanish period tapos puro damit. Nakulangan kami sa input, so we’re scheduling another trip to a museum in Manila. Sa Thursday ata.
Oh well. We went back to G4 to get our pics. The thing is nakakainis kasi nabura ata yung akin. Sa sobrang loser ata ng hitsura ko. Haha. Kasi when I looked at the monitor, talagang nawala ang slot ko. Before me is an old guy, tapos ang sumunod sa akin is a girl with her kid ata. Weird kasi this girl I’m talking with greeted me. Hindi ko siya kilala pero sabi nya, “Hello!” as if we’ve met somewhere before. Whew. Okay lang naman, nagulat lang ako. Haha.
The MRT Incident
At 6.00PM, we went to the MRT station and bought our tickets going to Cubao. While we’re having ourselves siksikan, all of a sudden biglang nagkaroon ng seat. So si Che naman, took the opportune. The train stopped a station tapos nagkaroon na naman ng vacant seat, so si Kathz din upo agad! Tapos maraming bumababa, so ako rin nakiupo na. To our shock, as-in natawa kaming lahat, nasa Taft Station kami. Shet, mali pala ang train na sinakyan naming so bigla kaming lumabas sa sobrang kahihiyan pero people are coming in so pasok ulet kami. We’re laughing out loud sobra up to the point that the woman beside me, biglang itinulak ako. So ako, nagulat! Grabe! Siguro she was disturbed by our moment of unending happiness. Tapos si Che, katabi ko s’ya, sobrang natatawa na at nandidiri kasi there’s this old man standing awkwardly in front of her. Na-disgrace si Che. Haha. Finally, we made our way home. It was an adventure. Sobrang saya, gimmick ang labas pero with a benevolent purpose: Pay a visit in a Museum. School work pero masaya!
Parties
I went to catch my cousins’ birthday party at Filinvest. I stayed for 2 hours and left for the COSA Umbrella Party at El Pueblo. Since I am an AVP, I felt the need of supporting our Org’s event. I was with Rach, Jelline and Anna. Ang saya sobra! Sobra! I drank a bottle of Strong Ice and Coco Punch, plus sisig and French fries! Saya Sobra! Whew, ang weird lang kasi kung kalian junior na kami, saka kami nagsasaya. Hay, it’s just right to kick out the hell week coming in two weeks. Whew. I arrived home at around 2.30AM.
Third day: Sunday
Wala pa akong nagagawa. I woke up around 1.00PM and now, blogging. Right now, I need to start working. Tama na ang gimmick at pasaya. There are a lot of things to do. La la la la! In three weeks, its Christmas break na! Yahooooo!
Mahaba ba? Sorry.
