Teka lang. Bago ang lahat, magkkwento muna ko. Sayang naman tong article na to kung magiging tungkol lang sa isang taong wala ng yatang ibang alam gawin sa buhay nya kundi sundan lahat ng ginagawa ko at alamin lahat ng nangyayari saken. Minsan na nga lang ako makapagblog eh.

Nung isang isang araw, biglang nagtext saken ang gagong tropa ko na nagngangalang Podi. Sabi nya sa text, “Tol sunduin mo ko sa Mactan Airport after one and a half hour. Dito na ko sa plane”. Nasa work ako nun, akala ko nagbibiro lang kaya hindi ko pinansin. After mga two hours, tumawag. Nasa Mactan Airport na nga daw sya. Sunduin ko na daw sya kasi baka iba pa ang pumick up sa kanya, nyaha. Nag early out ako sa work tapos dumerecho na nga ko sa airport. On our way to Mandaue City, sinabi nya kagad saken na pinapunta daw sya ng nanay ko para sunduin ako. Wala na daw akong lusot kapag ganun. Tsk tsk wais talaga ng nanay ko.

Hmmm tinatamad ako gumawa ng one whole article, kaya sa kung ano na lang ang lumabas at maisipan ko. Pagpasensyahan nyo na, hehe.

• Natalo ko kagabi ng 180 pesos sa tong its. Bukod sa kinulang ako sa pandaraya, este diskarte pala, nagkataon na mga hustler na talaga yung mga kalaban ko. Lagas na naman ako.

• Malapit na birthday ng nanay ko, pinapauwi ako. Payagan kaya ako umuwi? Ano kaya okay na regalo? Sa tingin nyo?

• Kanina sinubukan kong gumawa ng pancakes for breakfast. Imbes na harina, gawgaw yung nailagay ko. Taena, kaya pala sumobra sa puti tapos ang tigas pa. Sana yung nasa box na lang pala ginamit ko. Nauwi na naman tuloy ako sa walang kamatayang hotdogs and ham. Ako lang ang anak ng Chef na hinde marunong magluto.

• Tinawagan ako ng Convergys, baka daw gusto ko magwork sa kanila. Amp slang na slang yung babae. Aasarin ko sana eh kaso baka mapikon. Sabi ko na lang ayaw ko muna. Boring maging call center agent. Nasubukan ko na yun dati. After ilang months lang, nagresign ako. Ampanget eh, walang night life.

• Namimiss ko na anak ko. Tsk dami ko ng utang dun.

Has it been abandoned? I just started to realize these. Why are we so impatient when it comes to love? Why do we throw ourselves to the wolves when we cannot have what has been promised? Why did you not wait for me to bring myself back to you? I’ve been a seasoned player in this game and to abandon it, I feel that I would be letting go of one of the best qualities I have. Patience is a virtue, but they never said how it can hurt.

Patiently waiting for that time with high hopes. I was so excited. You could tell in the smile I carried. I was going to talk to you again. I patiently waited. Seconds, minutes, hours passed. But you didn’t come.

Do we see promises with skeptical eyes? We’re so willing to break them now. They carry no weight I guess. Or maybe promises have become a casual thing nowadays. The waiting game, it’s not worth playing anymore, is it? Devoted players end up losing to those who go the other way. Disappointing but true.

It’s so easy to just give up, drop out, quit.

The three things I hate the most. Dammit.

Our very first meeting was unusual. In fact, one can bet if we can call it a meeting, rather, just a simple crossing of paths. We were on the same bar. I’m with my cousins and you’re with your friends. Through a complete stranger, you handed me a note neatly written on a piece of paper. When I read it, it contained your name and your contact number. To be honest, I got turned off by your aggressiveness. My initial reaction was I just gave you a cold shrug and subconsciously slid the note on my wallet.

Days passed. I totally forgot about you, as well as the note. But then, I don’t know if fate brought it, one of my cousins texted me out of nowhere. He asked if I contacted you already. Of course I said no because I never did and until that time, I still didn’t have the plan to do it. And then my cousin told me that I should give it a try and that I should ask you out since we’re scheduled to go to the same bar again that night. After almost an hour of him convincing, and me thinking, I decided to get the note and dialled your number on my mobile. As soon as you answered your phone, I didn’t know what to say. I just introduced myself to you and asked you if you could meet us again. I mentioned the place and the time. You said yes, then there was a long pause. Maybe you were expecting me to say something else, but I didn’t. Instead, I said bye and I hit the end call button.
