Bad Friday

My first real blog entry and it's not about sugar and spice and everything nice.

Things are not going well at all. Last Friday (how ironic, the day being called Good Friday), I left the office feeling rejuvenated because it was my off. It took me 15 minutes to get to Buendia-LRT from Ayala at 5 in the morning.

Then I had to wait by the Sinangag Food House for roughly 20 minutes before an ordinary fare mini-bus came. The travel time from Buendia to BF took less than 30 minutes so I was outside our house (my fiance's house) at 6 a.m.

I had no key and the store was closed because it was a holiday (no one was fixing the store display) so I had no way of getting inside. I also had only P5 worth of prepaid credit (not enought to make a call). So I texted my fiance telling him to open the gate for me.

I waited.

And waited.

I then resorted to calling his name and using a rock to pound on the metal gate to wake him up. I saw the village guard walking up to me so I pretended that I was calling someone from the house to let me in.

Manong Guard probably thought I was insane or was probably gonna drag me off to the administrative office for making a racket. I texted Beb again to let me in. He had told me that he will be sleeping in the TV room (which was near the garden which was near the fence which was near the street) so I started throwing pebbles at the windows to wake him up.

I must say that I was so NOT happy at that time. Happy was not even a part of my vocabulary. Our neighbors (who lived two houses away) got out of their house and were pointedly looking at me. I was thinking, "Pakshet, yung mga taong ang layo sa 'kin nagising sa pambubulahaw ko pero itong nasa tapat ko, tulog pa din!"

I saw a table outside the store and my only chance of ever getting in was to climb up the wall. It was sooo hard! I had to remove my shoes and get all dirty and sweaty.

After looking stupid and almost breaking my neck in the process, I was finally able to get in. The whole ordeal lasted for about 40 minutes so I'm sure you would understand that I am fuming mad at this time. I knocked real hard on the stupid door and Beb opened the door, turned his back and lay down on the sofa. No sorry, no nothing!

Nakaka bad trip sobra di ba?! Away na 'to! So nagdabog ako at binalibag ang bag ko sa kama at tinapon ang sapatos ko sa sahig na tumama sa pader na gumawa ng malakas na ingay na ikinagising ni Mahadera.
