5 Things You Won’t Expect From Me

5 Things that you won’t expect me to do:

  1. You won’t expect me to text you back from my cellphone I don’t always bring my phone when I’m at home.
  2. You won’t expect me to wear colored shirts at home expect for the color white.
  3. You won’t expect me to totally come in late when meeting at some place. I usually come on or before the prescribed time.
  4. You won’t expect me to be awake beyond 1 am unless necessary.
  5. You won’t expect me to not wear any other colored shirts besides green every now and then (I have green shirts all too many).

The CSB Experience 2: Meeting Up With the Omani-raised Girl from Oman

  

It was last year, May 23, 2007 where I first met and talked to a fellow 107 MMA frosh. I remember we were seating next to each other while the frosh orientation was about to commence. Ever since my block was called out, the last thing I did was waved her goodbye. I remember the meeting I could no longer recall her face. I already said to myself that I may never get to see her for a very long time given the circumstances hehe. The only thing that will m ake me recognize hern is that she’s from Oman, attended Philippine School-Oman and that she was telling me about something concerning DLSU.

    Fast-forward to June 11, 2008. BASICOM class had just ended and me and classmates were about to return our borrowed laptops to the AV Room at the 10th floor of SDA. While there, many fo us were talking about animes aired when we were young. Then one of them said, “The first anime that I watched was ‘Samurai X’…”. We were like “What? ‘Samurai X”?” yeah, I was surprised too. Asked why she didn’t watched anime earlier than that, knowing that Samurai X was aired way when I was like 10 years old. Prior to that, they were a lot of animes that were shown like Gatekeepers, Akazukin Cha Cha, Bubu Chacha, etc.

    She answered something like “Ah, we don’t have ABS nor GMA in Oman”. I never heard her say Oman the first time but she reiterated it that she was from Oman. “Oman?” I said. Something just came in my mind that time —>*”Oman?”*<---. I'd be a fool if I don't ask her this, so I was like "You wouldn't happen to be from Philippine School, would you?". "Yeah!".     And it all came together, ‘I think I know you…from the Frosh Orientation?”. Looks like I wasn’t the only one, “Yeah, I remember your face from somewhere..”.     Wow! It’s been a long time but who could’ve guessed that were classmates in 2 classes (the other one was Joseriz)? Who would have knew, ‘no?

Hu…Hu..Emo muna ako

Discreet mode

It’s not that I hate them or anything but the mere fact that they are now there without having been around and, suddenly appeard where they were elevated to what they are now? It  simpy implies that no amount of service to the higher up would be enough to bear any fruit, only to find out that all efforts are but a  waste of our time. It is biased, unfair, and without any considerations at all.

Reality and Dreams: Riles

Gonna make this very quick….

 

So okay, I had this very weird dream early Tuesday morning. Weird indeed.

 

1. Rail along McArthur-First sequence, I was in someplace similar in McArthur Highway. I was riding with someone on this “for two people-only” electirc scates gliding down on the railway which somehow looks a lot like a roller-coaster as we swing back and forth, fast and slow, up and down. And I felt like I was screaming like crazy as I holding a pole as I stand (I have nothing to seat in there by the way. Then we stopped somewhere in the Malinta section of the highway. Then a conductor from a train behind us dropped by and asked us to ride on the train itself than rather risking our very lives on this highly fatal death-trap.

2. Onang’s Cradle-Next sequence, I was inside a room, all grey and shadowy then standing on the wall is Onang and his band of brothers (sila rin ba?). And they were singing mushy emo love songs. Why am I having these strange dreams? I don’t know.

3. She Lies Next-Last sequence, I was standing next to this popular girl I knew back in high school. She was lying on the floor along with her circle of friends. They were all wearing the school uniforms and as they lie there, they all raised their right legs and they were all singing. One of them invited me to tag along. I did but in a 90 degrees angle, forming an “L” of sorts. really, even my dream counterpart is finding all of these all weird, out of the ordinary and increasingly creepy for every sequence that followed.
