Thursday Blunder
Jun 29, 2006 Daily Blurbs, School
I woke up at the wrong side of the bed today. I was grumpy and I was even thinking of playing hooky. But, I remembered, I have to pass my homework. It’s a good thing I did attend my classes. I was called for a board work at Basic Computer Concepts (BASICON), to convert an Octal number to Binary. Until now, I still turn beet red when I am called to answer in front of everyone. I just don’t like the feeling that everyone is looking at me. I did answer the equation correctly.
By next week, I believe everyone is supposed to be in uniform. But I haven’t had mine altered yet. It is way too big! I thought we’d be allowed to wear pants as part of our uniform, but the admin said that there had to be a medical reason before we are allowed to. So now, wearing pants needs a doctor’s signature?! Pff.
Anyway, my friend, Dyan called. She calls me like once a month, just to catch up, and I like hearing from her. We’ve been friends since elementary and we’ve had our share of good and bad times. She told me that our common friend, Gelo (the hubby of our common friend, Nikki) already has a job. THANK GOD! I mean, his kid is depending on him. Dyan is boyless right now. I guess, both of us are in the same boat, where, we feel very scared of crossing the road over to that one man’s arms. It’s just logical, I guess.
From the time being, I am savoring the moments that I am single, although sometimes I wish I had someone, I am all good. I mean, you can never really escape the thought of depending on someone other than yourself. I am still normal. If life permits, I’ll be in love soon enough.
I think.
I am supposed to go to Makati tomorrow for a client meeting, but I don’t know if I’d be able to. I don’t like going to places so far from where I am. Haha. Pff. Well, it’s just that, I can edit their pages at home, they just wanted to add more links on their links page. They made me mad because this old woman that I am talking to (secretary of my boss), have no clue what a LINK is! So she said I had to go there and she has to show me the pages they want to link up. I mean, how did she visit those websites if she does not know the URL?
I am PMSing. I can feel it coming. :outrage:

The Mark
Jun 21, 2006 Fiction
I was so excited. I prepared his favorite dish, Mac ‘n Cheese with Mushroom sauce. It’s been 22 months since Mark and I, became a “We”.
I used the Globe network to locate where he was. We both made it a point we have that technology, and thank God for that. He was at Jack’s, his bestfriend.
As I was nearing the gate, I heard a loud mixture of laughs, music and naughty charades. I smiled to myself thinking it was one of their dare games again. When I got to the gate, I turned to look at the garage to see him and his friends so I could surprise him. Mark was kissing another girl. A beautiful, tall and white-skinned girl… all that I’m not.
My heart stopped to beat for a second, and then, it turned into a loud thump thump thump in my ear, and it felt like so deafening in my ears. I held my breath to hold back the tears. Slowly, I walked back down the riser and turned to the direction of home before anyone could see me.
When I got home, I ran upstairs to my bed. I tried to erase the images of Mark kissing somebody else, somebody who looks better than I do.
I thought he was way past the beautiful ones, that I am the only person he could love more than his life. But I guess, they are all lies now.
My phone rang. It was him. He said he was just calling to say goodnight and that he missed me that day, and that he meant to come over but something came up and he had to be at Jack’s. At least he told me where he really was. Technology saved me that night. I said my goodnights and that I loved him. But he didn’t know that I was saying a real goodbye…
The next three days I tried my best to dodge him off. I had a hundred excuses why we can’t meet or even talk. He said he missed a lot of me, my smile, my voice, my text messages… Those messages always gather up tears that are ready to fall but did not because I wouldn’t let it. He would drop by my house, but I told everyone that I don’t want to see him, so they’d make up excuses for me. I used my old sim card so he can’t track me down.
After a week of hiding, I finally had the courage to talk to him. We met at the usual, Starbucks Eastwood. He was wearing the polo shirt I gave him and I noticed he trimmed his hair. He was wearing my favorite scent of him, and his smile, oh his smile, always melts my heart.
We ordered our usual, his, a Caramel Mocciato, and mine is a Mocha Frappucino. He added a slice of Tiramisu and Cinnamon Roll for our sweet tooth.
We settled for a corner table outside. I knew he wanted to talk because he always chooses the quietest spot he can find, and the corner usually is. We both started to talk at once. He smiled, that little boy smile. I let him talk first.
“Dre, it’s been a long week. I miss you so much. This has been the longest week we’ve ever been apart, it’s exhausting. Oh Dre, I hate missing you, you drive me nuts!”
He then pulled out something from his pocket. It was a white gold bracelet with a diamond detail.
“Happy 22 months, baby. I love you…”
