| Thought...less... hahaha |
I'm so sleepy.
Haven't had much sleep since Sunday. And yesterday, napa inom pa ako ng di-oras. Got home around 12.10 AM. I didn't have enough phone credits to call my brother to open the gate for me like I usually do so I was forced to ring the bell several times, which I don't like doing because I didn't want to wake up the whole house. After several tries, I decided to walk to a nearby convenience store to load credits on my phone. The store was adjacent to a recently opened restobar, with an open second floor deck where a live band was playing. so afer loading up, I decided to go to the restobar (called Iskatis) to drink and eat as i haven't had my dinner yet.
Matagal ko na namang gusto gawin yun at padi's e. At least at Iskatis, even if the view was just overlooking sumulong highway, walking distance lang from the house.
When I got to the second floor, i was surprised to find it empty, except for the band and the restaurant staff. i found myself a seat and ordered garlic mushrooms, yangchow rice (matsalap tsalap!) and a san mig light. the band was ok. they performed as if a crowd was watching - complete with intros and jokes etc. I'd clap lightly at the end of their songs, and at one point, happened to catch the eye of the vocalist. we both smiled and then they took notice of me, making like a comedy bar, and speaking among themselves, wondering why i was there alone. Then one of the guitarists (a cute guy with long hair tied in a pony tail) joked and told the band to play a song called 'Alone.' At that point i couldn't keep myself from smiling. i don't know if it was the beer or just that i found it funny they were sort of making fun of me when in reality i really couldn't care less.
In any case, i eventually finished my dinner and was halfway through my second bottle when i started feeling a little woozy. by that time, a couple had already come and gone, while two guys and another couple were still there. the band invited us to jam with them or to sing along. i really wanted to go jam with them or make them play some Sandwich songs. i really wanted to jump and do headbangs. i really badly wanted to dance. (grabe, last gimik ko sa bar is Sept 2005 pa! repressed na repressed na ako!!!) but the alcohol was setting in and i didn't want to make a fool of myself there. If i were with my friends though i would've had a blast! karaoke + red horse nights yeah!
so i finished my beer and left while the band took their break. Mejo pasuray suray na ko pero hindi gaano obvious hehe. the vocalist and the cute guitarist thanked me and that was it. They were called The Stardreamer band. the drummer was cute too ^_^ o yeah... may libre pa akong sightseeing dava =P
i walked back to the house and rang my brother up. it was almost 2 AM when i crashed. mali nga yata e because when i woke up around 5Am, slept and woke up again, finally at 6.30, my whole body felt so leaden. heniwooooosssshh nakaligo naman ako and nakapasok pa rin on time.
going back to Iskatis, ilang katanungan:
1) Kumikita kaya sila? well, the place looks packed on fridays and saturdays. pero if the rest of the week looks like what i saw there yesterday, good luck na lang sa kanila.
2) Binabayaran kaya yung band?
3) Wonder how it feels to play in front of an empty audience?
oh well... i'm just shooting off here. and my arms are feeling heavy again it takes effort even to type these in. hay.. may lakad pa mamaya - bday celeb / first blood (first libre ng new staff to the old) - at may pasok bukas...
now I know what NOT to do at Padi's alone. Hindi pwede ng walang kasama kasi mga 10-15 minute ride yun from the house. If gusto nang walang kasama, ini mwede moooominom...

I am being haunted. surprisingly, it makes me happy. I don't know if I'll wake up soon or stay sleeping. All i know is I'll be a little sad if i wake up but i won't believe it if i stay sleeping. But the nightmares are doing me good, I think. It's helping me live. salamat sa multo. ^_^
If i can just lead you here... but its too risky for now. oh well.

(Time's up. Kris gives the answers.)
Kris: Naku, ang galing galing mo pa naman sa challenge round kanina, nablanko ka bigla ngayon.

What else?
I'm enjoying doing stuff alone now. not that i prefer to be alone rather than be with friends or family. But i'm learning to enjoy the moments i spend by myself. waw. ^_^
I'm also into reading books. I've always been an avid reader before i entered college. but since college and the time i started working, i haven't had time to read much. I'm rediscovering that passion again now. I just finished Paulo Coelho's Five People You Meet in Heaven and Richard Bach's Jonathan Livingston Seagull. they were very nice. 5 people actually got me crying by the time i finished the last chapter. I'm currently reading The Alchemist. And i just bought a copy of The Little Prince (na matagal nang ipinagdudukdukan sa akin ng isa sa aking mga naging boylet or almost boylet, na pilit kong idinedeny. Nagka-asaran kasi kami noon, and he said I should read The Little Prince, as if may masama akong ugali na macucure ng pagbabasa noon.) ang cute ng copy na nabili ko, kasi hindi sya yung gaya ng dati na paper back na mimeograph yung inside pages. Ngayon parang comics na glossy yung paper. At the same price!
Dami pa ako nakaline up na books. I haven't gotten this excited about reading since Nancy Drew, Hardy Boys and Sweet Valley High hahaha.
And i suddenly missed going to the gym.. nanghihina na kasi ako.
oh well basta ganon! i better go back to sleep.. este work.. |
