Friday. Can’t concert with Ca. Re-sked coffee with Bengbeng. Postponed free beer with Honey Rose. Not even siomai with Maweng Jen.
Friday. I am so loaded with family duties and personal errands. Passport preps for me and Soph. To be continued tomorrow. Final submission by Monday . Kapuso perks. DFA coming over on the 23rd. Bwelo ako sa Buglasan. I need to take the earliest flight for my interview hummmm
Commitments with Honey. Continued my search for my IPOD docking station, scheduled meet-ups. Finalized my satellite TV. Deposited cheques. Tried some new Victoria Secret. Downloaded Rihanna, Eminem, and hummm that song …. sorry I can’t tell ;). My second Mary Grace for the week. First was yesterday with Ca and my fave Mexican chili choc’late. Today with Yangyang, and a cup of peppermint tablea … he he such expensive lunches :). Surfed, surfed, surfed ;) I was so preoccupied with all of these, I totally forgotten about my aspilet, second time this week.
I was on the phone with MyPiayaya, some late phone-in birthday greetings :). I asked her a favor for a little fixing of photos curt’sy of her friend from MIS. Hayyyy … and the exciting part … calendared next Friday @concertgrounds … a few bottles of light beer and sound tripping yipeeeee ... a handful of friends, Virgini volunteering! Tamang tama sweldo hep hep!
I had to rush to Imus before 9 PM for Mama and Lola with soft and hard copies. I will know by Tuesday. I said a short prayer on my way to Dasma, asking Lola’s help and blessing.
Grabbed M&Ms, strawberry ice cream, potato loaf bread, and OK Mag October ish and that tiny tin of Diet 7 Up.
Some familiar lines twirling in my head, was that a song, a line in a novel, or from loveblender? … good enuff for an FB shout out … “I’ll never know, what you’ll never tell.” …
I gave it a little tweak … the Irma touch …
… but there’s nothing to tell, I have nothing to know.”
Some kinda bus ride earlier … a barrage of thoughts … how far I have gone … how big the distance. Separate lives. The complete disconnect. Worlds apart. Uncommon friend. For once, in this universe, I know the existence of two different people, under two different skies.
Having said that, situations can’t be created on purpose anymore. When Coincidence equals Always. From then on , everything else has to be accidental. But since am a RIGID, OC, careful, calculating fool, I defy all forces, natural or otherwise. No accidents. I am making sure of that.
Honestly, that doesn’t make me happy. But that doesn’t hurt. I can live with that.
It doesn't really matter, whether it mattered or not. :)
A gYpsy's home early, on a Friday, moonstruck, weather's good, no beer.
I like to remember things my own way. how i remembered them, not necessarily the way they happened. I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. My DeLicioUs ambiguity.
... my other garden ;)
About Me
- Irma
- I'm not a graceful person. I'm not a Sunday morning or a Friday sunset. I am a Tuesday 2AM, I am gunshots muffled by a few city blocks, I am a broken window during February. My bones crack on a nightly basis. I fall from elegance with a dull thud, and I apologize for my awkward sadness. I sometimes believe that I don't belong around people, that I belong to all the leap days that didn't happen. The way light and darkness mix under my skin has become a storm. You don't see the lightning, but you hear the echoes.
