Back from Angono

Monday, June 21st, 2010

I feel exhausted. Meow moved to Angono, and I helped out during the past four days, so there goes my vacation leaves! Not that I am complaining that much. Because I did have fun.

You know how it is when you have nothing to do, and then, wham! People are asking you, left and right, to go out, and you have other priorities to attend to. So I stood up two parties, and I have deadlines to meet for my non-work-related activities.

Anyways, Angono is quite nice. I think Meow is happy and is considering living there permanently. For her, the only place in Metro Manila conducive to living or having a family is UP Village.

It’s almost over now. I am just two signatures away for my clearance at the call center that has a name that sounds very much like a taxi franchise.

We were planning to go to an acquaintance’s birthday but Meow canceled because she wasn’t able to get much sleep. I am a bit relieved. I wanna be lucid for this, and I was. My employment ended last Sunday. I do not miss it. I was afraid the past 2 days that I felt no strong feelings. Have I gone numb? How much of the old me was extinguishedd by working in a call center?

I went there again today, with my bulky backpack, armed with my notebook and Albert Camus to give me company. Seeing them was pleasant but I ask myself if I have established a strong bond with them. I kinda like them… mostly.

Based on a true story….

“We had a big fight last Friday. A really big fight over lost time and my inability to show affection,” Jack told me, “I felt really bad about it.”

“I saw JaneĀ  the following day,” he continued, “we bought a laptop. By the time we ate we were really tired. She had this thing about motels being a place of sin, of how those poor hapless women are brought there against there own volition .

“It goes something that.” He said thoughtfully.

“Letse! Pa-ingles-ingles ka pa!” I shout at him, “Ano ba talaga kwento mo?”

“I am getting there, Geez!” He answered irritably. “Tang ina mo!”
