A Teacher's Diary

Big Deal

Sunday

A short conversation with Elton. He texted me when he left us in MJ's place but my phone battery was empty that I was only able to read it past 1 AM when I got home.

Kumag: "Kumag!"

Ako: "Yes kumag? Lobat eh. Kakabukas ko lang."

Kumag: "La naman kumag. Namiss kita eh. :)"

Yeah right. I set a reunion for our Wave in Cricket for Meggy. Ako lang naman tsaka si Alex ang sigurado. May mga interesado. May mga dahilan na hindi makakarating. At may mga magpapaasa. So later, I am very sure that it's the only three of us. Alex, Meggs and me. Pati si Chase na add ko. Hindi nga pala sila magkakilala ni Meggs.

After I washed the undergarments in my laundry basket and iron my uniforms for the week. Almost 1 PM, I quickly decided to go to Victory East. Ang layo lang kasi. Kailangang mag-effort. Pagdating ko, nakita naman ako ni Alex. Mali pala yung natetext ko na number niya. Nawala nga pala yung phone niya kaya ilan beses din siyang nagpalit ng number. There wasn't any available seat kung saan siya nakaupo. He gave me his seat and went somewhere vacant. Hindi naman siya kalayuan pero hindi kami pareho ng hanay. Ang maganda lang, tanaw ko pa rin naman siya...

"Is God blessings conditional?" -Genesis 15

Answer: yes and no

Ang ganda ng song na 'One Thing Remains', we sang it in the opening and closing of the service.

I must download it!

We ate at Chowking since I didn't eat lunch. I ordered the usual, pork chowfan and he had his wanton mami with siopao. Ako ang taya. We rode a taxi on our way to Megamall. Half (more than half actually) the fare ako rin ang nagbayad. Wala pa raw budget si Alex dahil nadeposit niya na for savings. Understandable naman at saka hindi naman na siya iba. Siya din naman yung tipong marunong bumawi.

Ang traffic nga lang. While we were in the taxi, marami na rin naman kaming napag-usapan. One of them was about me being interested of having an iphone. Siguro kasi asar talo na ko ng sobra sa Samsung Duos ko na konting-konti na lang, malapit na talagang mawalan ng silbi. Halos 2 hours na lang ata ang battery life. Kaya hindi ko na siya magamit outdoors. Alex gave me hope na marami raw pwedeng mabili sa Greenhills for less than 10k. Aw. I want! >_<

Nagpapatulong din ako mag-isip ng something naughty for my kris kringle this coming Friday pero wala naman siyang matinong suggestion kundi "talong at saka itlog".

Pagkadating namin, wala si Meggs sa Dunkin Donuts. Tumawag naman siya kanina while Alex and I were in the taxi. Pa empty bat na naman ako pero kinaya pa na magsend ng message kay Meggy na tumawag kay Alex. We found him at the counter of Surplus.

A brief introduction...

His name is Miguel Actub. I call him Meggs, sometimes, Meggy. Hawig niya si Pooh. Not the yellow bear Winnie the Pooh cartoon character but the Pooh stand up gay comedian. Minsan na nga daw siyang napagkamalan noon at may fan na nagpapicture sa kanya. Yes. He's gay. Pero hindi siya nagko cross dress. He just occassionally make himself pretty kapag siguro may contests or parties.

We were call center virgins since it was both our first time in call center industry. Pati rin si Alex. After our A-Bay training, Meggs and I were transferred on the production floor with the same team (Patriots) under the provision of TM Levy Cruz. Later on na lang namin naging ka team si Alex after his team dispersed under TM Amir.
