Best friend

So you are not sure who your best friend is. You say it's because it's been a while since the last time you saw each other. I say, it's because you refuse to know her. You don't know her just because you've known each other for more than ten years now. You thought you knew her, but you refuse to know her. Too bad, she really tried hard to understand you. Too bad, you really had too many common grounds.

I guess I just erased your uncertainty.

Zero to Zero

"Ang lovelife ko parang Coke... zero." -- a forwarded text.

Brandy and Coke zero.

It may be the first and last time I've witnessed their marriage.

Fifteen minutes after the class started, I found myself in a convenience store with Louie and Jet, surveying the nicest brandy, grabbing four liters of Coke Zero and bagging the unhealthiest chips around.

Well, Jet facilitated the class in absence of Dr. July, while Louie, who happens to be my classmate, just dragged me to play poker with Jet. Poker? What the hell do I know about poker?

I know that Louie thought the idea was hilarious, though he still made a shot. "Jet, bakit hindi mo yayain si Joyce maglaro ng poker?"

Jet was too silent.

"Hindi naman ako naglalaro ng poker. " I tried to laugh.

"Basta, sumama ka samin. Hindi rin nman ako marunong. Topak lang to si Jet, naisipan magyaya ng poker. Jet, turuan mo si Joyce a."

Jet finally said something. "Um, we are going to a very secret spot... Promise me not to tell anyone?"

What? Then I got it, we are invading somebody else's unit, as the owner is still in Tokyo.

So, I met Shaila, Lem, Flats (?), Ian, Tina, Jhong - all faculties, I guess.

What can I say? Jet is such a nice guy. He made sure I wasn't left in the crowd. He did everything to make me comfortable, and I'm quite aware of that. haha!

Then it hit me. He told me why he suddenly came up with this idea: He will be taking his second M.A. in International Political Economy at Nanyang, Singapore, starting 15 July (?). Of course, through full scholarship.

This is really making me laugh until this time. Everything sounds so familiar.

Gravitate

Narrowing sight
Turning back
Rejecting heights
Plunging energy
Closing doors
Shutting down
Escaping fanfares

All came too soon...

Am I too early to gravitate?

I took a bow in glee before a sterning audience fazed, sornful faces
Uncared by puzzled eyes, for a moment I became free
Unabashedly exiting the cold stage of social warmth
I started embrasing myself and felt congratulated.

I was not purposed to justify my unpleasantry,

Nor existed to be starred.

I am simply created to be infinitely scarred

and be intermittently unscarred.

How could you go wrong with David Cook?!

More than a sexy singer and a well-defined artist, it is a major turn on that he is addicted to crossword puzzle.

Aargh!

That's the type of person who will never receive a 'no' from me for a marriage proposal. Hehe.

postscript

wahaha..

Someone just said: "Hi cuz! How are you na? I miss messing up with Plato." Obviously, I instantly considered that one as a philo matter.

Then I just saw Plato's picture. He's a dog.
