Aspirations

August 10, 2008 Sunday

1:50AM – I’m disturbed by a motorbike rider circling around the block and stopped in front of our house, I took a peek out of the window and saw a figure in black jacket and helmet, then gone. I turned on the light of the driveway and the side balcony. Our fences have no sharp edges and our gate can be opened.

I had my share of commuting in the Metro. I dropped myself at Santolan LRT-2 Station and transferred train at Cubao, the MRT is a wreck, with long queue and it happened I lined at the “Exact Fare Only” I asked two gay teens in front of me if they have changed but they don’t have instead they save my line after I asked them how much the fare to Taft, I bought Mountain Dew so I’ll have changed of 14 bucks. I smoothly have my access card and the two gay twinks followed me, as if! Thanks for the magic of ipod I isolated myself with the noise and gyrating in the train. Then supposedly I’ll take a bus to Mall of Asia, but I chanced upon a jeepney, 8.50 bucks only.

Total transportation damage: 34.50 bucks

When I entered the mall, I immediately went to the restroom and relieved myself, check my image on the mirror and wipe myself with wet tissues. Fresh and invigorated I was lucky to spot my friends just near the restroom I went to. Arlene, her hubby Archie and her bestfriend Mac were waiting for me and I surprised them full front and made beso-beso and patawa immediately. I only had Sky Flakes and they are already finished with lunch its 3:30PM anyway…We went for dessert and refreshment, Tokyo Café’s crepes were delicious except the waffle is not soft, I had Peach Mango, yum and Red Tea. We talked or rather educated Mac about homosexuality and bisexuality and the current trend among gays in the society and the hypocrisy and discrimination within the circle. And the role of friends in general in a matter of coupling or dealing with couples. Then after it, the girls went for the loo and Archie and I were waiting for them in front of Hush Puppies when lo and behold Adam was just proximity near us, he was looking, I was staring, waiting, then he gave a surprise face with matching pointing gestures and that’s my cue to approach. Smiling or more of a smirk, I said my hi he said his piece of kamustahan, then to cut the story short, I said my piece as well and I casually just reminded him that he broke up with my friend Jordana and if that the “girl” he said yes and I asked him to introduce me, what’s he waiting for, no plan of introduction, so we went closer to the girl that’s waiting, she gave an oblivious look, I coyly answered I’m his friend from Iloilo then Adam nervously gave a laugh and said enjoy! The End. Report my delightful encounter with the damned ones to Jordana at Australia, she called immediately gave her the low down, but my girl is not satisfied she wants to know the details even I didn’t keenly researched. Then her span of networking prowess engaged immediately, I was preoccupied with them for a while, I gave my conclusion that it’s love and though the girl is not attractive but what can we do Adam fell for her and as a couple, typical coupling I may say when I saw them walking side by side. Then while walking at the boardwalk area, we took little pictures and more reminiscing of high school days with my friend Arlene and sharing our allegories with Archie and Mac. Then we opted to stay inside and waiting for John to arrived at the food court. We were admiring the N99i phone of Mac, only 7K, complete features with dual SIM! Good for Globe and Sun, they reminded me to get a Sun SIM. When John arrived we talked a little bit more then it reminded me to pay my Globe handyphone, luckily the centre was just on our way to the parking lot. Then I found out my address street is wrong instead of Augusta it was encoded August, stupid guy from Megamall branch! So I called 211 to correct it as meticulously I can be. Do remind me, my plan is until April 7, 2009 and I don’t wish to continue unless I’ll have a career per se. I stayed for dinner and down time at Arlene’s condo at Mandaluyong. Then I have a pabaon, a cake from Hizon. I rode a jeepney to Crossings, then made my way up to the Shaw MRT Station, then my way inside Farmers Plaza, which the Ricky Reyes parlor’s fountain leaking at the corridor, a guy behind made a splash, and yeah splashed some water on my jeans and back of my t-shirt. Then inside Gateway Mall to LRT 2 Station, I called my sister to pick me up I waited a little for her at the corner for private vehicles, even took a video of Marcos Hi-way. Life as a commuter, it’s expensive anyway if I’ll bring the Ford Lynx, I don’t have an income, if I’ll spare my money for gas alone, I don’t have enough money left for malling alone!

Then at home, my officemate Sheena texted that I’ll watched XXX at Channel 2, actually ABS is channel 8 in us. The probe tackles illegal recruiters and bogus hiring agencies at Cubao. It’s illegal to charged applicants with “processing fee” if the person is not yet hired! Gosh, the company I’m suspecting to be a scam is indeed scammish! Why charged us with 300 bucks for company ID and company kit? Sucks! Worst I avail of their products and BDO ATM for a total of 2,950 bucks! This week they should issue my ID, cards, ATM and official receipt or else they gonna taste my anguish! We made a plan to push through our earlier arrangement to go to ABS and watch Wowowee live! Gonna be a masa well duh I am part of the masses!

We watched an Adam Sandler movie, “Don’t Mess With The Zohan” at Robinsons but ate first at KFC, I ordered there promotional item for a chance to win in a raffle, actually I didn’t know it. Then after that we went to Antipolo to Padi’s Point, relaxed and I had some beers and my sister had Shirley Temple. Then I was bitin, I was shouting my friends names in the car while we glide downhill back to the Metro. We went to Metrowalk at Ortigas for some more drinks, I ordered a bucket and sausage platter at Menu. I can’t believe I had 9 San Mig Light for a night! It supposed to be 10! I was tipsy, I have self control, at 23 its hardly to be drunk again.

August 1, 2008 Friday

I went to Cubao looked for this anonymous company, imagine they refuse to tell their company name! Then I was even assisted out of the building! Spent my days touring the Araneta Center…I should have been challenging myself, not shaming myself for a challenge!

2:17 AM- For 2 weeks and a half at the Metro…what did I learn? Nursing not a drop…Scam, opportunist, was I that desperate for work? Was I that stupid to let myself be drowned with hiya I should have said no and I should have not let myself undergo, again charge it to experience.

I’m not in Manila. I’m in Rizal! We have a car but we really can’t afford the gas! I would just pity the car.

My plans: Advised mother not to push through with the reselling of this Vista Verde house, the duplex has lots of potential! Beside we need a house here in Manila.

Then about the Bellagio condo, I would secretly buy it, then returned the money my parents invested and not burden Mom with its monthly mortgage anymore. She would just think an anonymous buyer bought it, and I will middlename for contract signing. I would transfer the title to my name. Then my address would be the Fort, Taguig. (Again I need a career to back this with…surprise)

Then my landmark as a Model, Actor,Writer, Singer, and Total Performer for Superstardom.

I’ll have an Immigrant US Visa…well be situated at California and New York.

I’ll have multiply entry special Visas for UK, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, France, Italy, Spain and the rest of the European Union

I’ll have tourist access and working permits to Southeast Asia, China, Japan, South Korea, India, the Middle East, Israel, important key countries in Africa and Latin America.

I’ll have a best blog site at whatever sites I have current membership with. Multiply, Facebook, Myspace, Friendster, Blogspot, Yahoo, Hi5, Downelink, etc.
