Finally...A Very Long Engagement

Oh yes. Finally. The wait is over and must I say, it's really worth it. (I'm a little disappointed however my date with Ikay didn't push through. Instead, I had a night out with the boys..or 2 boys..whatever). I love everything the film. The fact that it was subtitled from beginning to finish...hayy...French is truly a wonderful language. The story is so serious and heavy but there's always a little bit of humor in the script which was simply amazing. The French of course, didn't fail to show off the beauty of their country. Mathilde brought me with her in her long journey. So now.. I really wanna go to France. Hehe... If there's one thing I learned from the movie, that's HOPE. And... doggie farts are blessings because they gladden/brighten one's heart.

PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE...

That seemed to be the theme of my whole day yesterday. I spent about 5 hours on the road. Gawwwddd. 2 hours going to school, another 2 hours going to Eastwood and an hour going home. Worse, I felt sleepy the whole day. It's weird actually. I had enough sleep the night before. But I can never fall asleep watching the movie. I told myself that a hundred times. Hehe. I'd kill myself if I did. It was almost a useless day, if I hadn't gone to watch the movie...

We left Alabang at 1:30pm for the 2:30pm class. We didn't take the Skyway because it's never traffic. (Skyway costs too much already..P115 one way!). But for a few days now, it has been traffic because of the construction going on. But it was 1:30pm. Who could possibly be on the road during that time. But what a big mistake that was. We tried to avoid the traffic via C5 and Makati. But it was traffic everywhere! Even in Estrada for crying out loud. I got to school at 3:20pm just in time for me to submit my assignment to my Quatech teacher. Good thing I could attend my Finama class. But I was just so sleepy. I was pretending to understand the lesson for one whole hour. Argh... Then dimissal. Yes!

4:40pm, met up with Aga then headed straight to the parking lot. I was frikking sleepy. Thank god he wanted to smoke. I could sleep for a little while. Well I tried to but I can't. It was so weird. It's like I have insomnia or something. Then by 5pm we left Taft. And traffic, yet again. I told him I dunno the way to Eastwood from La Salle, so I'll be useless as a navigator (I'm always a bad navigator. Hehe...from experience with Kuya Nono..haha..I really have no sense of direction whatsoever), so I'll just sleep. Of course, he didn't want me to sleep and that he never lets anyone sleep in the front seat. Argh.. Fine I'll sleep in the back. Of course, he didn't let me. DUH. So there we were. Stuck in traffic, trying to entertain ourselves with his 18 track CD compilation. Criminy he never finishes a song. So after, we decided to just listen to the radio..tough luck..nothing good was playing. We've made fun of the people passing by, I've tried winking at this toothless guy (but I chickened out), he tried to pick up some girls...and by 5:45pm, we have just crossed Quirino Avenue. It was that bad. Then I tried to sleep again. He wouldn't let me damn it. I close my eyes for 30 seconds and he starts to talk. What am I to do?! I tried ignoring him so eventually he lets me sleep. ALAS, I told myself. But I couldn't sleep. It was just bizarre.

6:30pm. Kokoy calls me up and tells me he's on his way. We were only San Juan. 6:45pm, he texts me and tells me he's there already. HUWAT?! He's early, really. I told him 7pm. 7pm, we were in Greenhills. Aga is to meet his "client". Haha. He's selling bags, by the way (Check out www.picturetrail.com/katips), Avon products, flexi patches and God knows what else. He's never met that person before and he's nervous. Haha! It was a funny situation. He was nervous because he's not sure if he can sell the bag. It's not the best bag in the world and it doesn't look like P880. Haha. I wanted to just laugh right there, but it's sort of a big deal, his first client and all, so being a good friend that I am, I gave him a few advice and that typical "kaya mo yan" and when with him to meet the girl. Haha. It was so obvious he was nervous and he knows nothing about the product. And what do you know, he did it. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! It was just hilarious.

7:10pm, Emilky boy has been texting me, asking me where we were. We just left Greenhills and Aga's just screaming his lungs out, celebrating his first sale. I'm his good omen, what can I say?! No, really I am. Haha! Despite all that traffic..I am. Thankfully, the traffic there wasn't as heavy. We got to Eastwood by 7:40pm. Met Emilky boy. I was very happy to see my cousin, of course. He's one cool soul. So what's up with Kokoy? Hmm... a lot I guess. He seems happy and good for him. His energy is high and smile's on his face. The movie was at 8:20pm, so we had about 40 mins to eat. I'm saving, so fastfood. I had my beloved cheeseburger. Yes. I felt so bad for letting my cousin wait for so long I had to spend additional P60 for his Twister Fries and McFloat. Not a dull moment with Kokoy, as always. It's nice to know he has been influenced by a very...well.. influencial person in the radio, Zach. Haha. I had to stop myself from laughing hard. (For Ikay, hhmm.. don't let your friends sleep in Kokoy's room again..he's working out for goodness' sake!).

8pm, we were on our way to the cinemas when I heard a familiar voice call my name. Toni and Abby were there!!! I was so happy to see them, but we were almost late for the movie. Awww! Then I realized, I miss those bitches. I wanna see them really soon. Hayyy..

11pm, the movie ended. Kokoy wanted a drink. We were cheap people so we had to go to the nearby supermarket. Walked a mile just to find out it was closed. Criminy. We ended up buying P55 beers. I'm glad they both liked the movie. Aga almost didn't want to watch it because it's a frikking chick flick. Oh puh-lease..it was not the typical chick flick. He was just complaining that we had to watch it before Valentine's. Drama pucha. Then from Kokoy's acting career to his kissing games, they both started to talk about their love lives. "Ohhh get over Aedz", I told him. He said he was, so I'll take his word for it. Then all of a sudden, it was just them talking...about love. Wow, that was new. I mean, usually boy talks are about cars, porn, music or girls. So it was interesting to listen to them. But then I had to go. Had to leave them there and continue with their heart to heart. Haha. They probably didn't even say goodbye to me! Their talk was just intense. Gawwdd. Where did that come from? I'm thinking..the movie's just THAT good.

And the issue with me and Aga goes on. I don't even know why I have to defend myself. There's nothing to it. Maybe Kokoy can answer that. Hah! Finally, someone who can attest that I'm telling the truth when I say we're just friends. I treat Aga the way I treat Kokoy. There you go. Clarity.
