small world

it was a meet up intended for a girl friend of mine. it's been months since we last saw each other so when she mentioned she would like to see me, flying high upon the wings of love ang drama ko somewhere south malapit sa isa sa mga top notch schools sa bansa.

eh matuk mo, ang lola mo ay hindi agad nakababa sa kaniyang condo kaya smoke belcher muna ang drama nitey sa labas ng napagusapang fast food. nakaka dalawang hithit palang ako ng when i saw a familiar face na nakaupo sa may labas ng fast food. it seems the guy also recognized me and waved his hand

siyempre, hindi ako nag-aral sa assumption college kaya pasimple akong nagsight kung may iba pang tao sa puwesto ko. aba, malay ko kung hindi pala ako ang kinawayan ng guwapo at matipunong binata. at ng makumpirmang imposible namang sa mga halaman siya kumakaway, i also waved my hand and smiled.

tuloy sa pagka smoke belcher hanggang sa halos maiyak na ang baga.

then i saw something that i never thought would happen.

'hi, you look familiar to me. have we bumped into each other before?!'

ay inglesero ang potah. the first time i saw him, hindi naman ganun. okay, rule of thumb, kabugin ang lahat ng birhen sa buong universe at magpakipot.

'im very sorry, but i don't think so. but you look familiar, really.'

'oo nga eh, i feel i've met you before. by the way im (gave his name..not so sure if it is his real name)..'

rule of thumb again. never give your real name to strangers. no matter how cutie pie egg pie they are..

'oh hi. im john. john arthur villanueva.'

sa loob loob ko, potah, sana nakaisip ako ng mas fabulous name. at hindi yung pen name ko noh?!

kuwentuhan kaming dalawa hanggang sa nagpaalam si mokong

'thanks for the time john. hope to bump into you again one of these days...hmm, may i have your number?'

i dialled my super old number. 09168311338. not sure if it has been reused already. high school pa ako nung maging number ko yan.

as i saw him walk his way up to the light railway transit station, i cant help but feel i made the right thing. i don't want to mingle with people who are just as sick as i am when it comes to love.it would only make the depression worst. nope, that i am choosy with people. but looking at how painful my situation is (and considering ive got a lot of other problems to think of), i need a breather. i need people who can make me believe that indeed life is beautiful, and not remind me how painful it is to be like them when they're in love...

so how sure am i that this guy is just like me?

he is the infamous gay guy i saw in malate when i made my immersion there and from whom i heard the infamous lines--hindi naman ako umaasa...hinihintay lang kitang maging masaya...

mabuti na lang, dumating din yung aking girl friend at natuloy ang matagal na naming naischedule na kuwentuhan at bonding moment.
