Two days ago, I received a surprising call from a long time friend who happens to be the subject of my previous entry. From the moment she started talking, I instantly felt the tension and the emotions she wanted to convey to me. She was extremely down. I just let her speak and I just kept on listening to her every words. I felt her sudden urge to cry in her voice. All that she mentioned repeatedly was ” Nath, akala ko masakit na yung ginawa ni (name of a guy), mas masakit pa pala to”. Me, clueless on what she’s saying, asked for an explanation. It was later I found out that she’s two weeks pregnant and the guy who’s my friend as well doesn’t want to take the responsibilities. I got tongue tied. I didn’t know how to comfort her as I am not good in words when it comes to difficult situations like hers. I just told her that sooner or later, everything will fall into their right places. I’m aware that that didn’t even lessen the pain she has but what can I do, that’s all that I could offer at that time. More or less after 5 minutes, she decided to hang up the phone and continued the story through text. She wanted me to talk to my guy friend and make him realize what he had done. According to her, she chose me because she knows that that same situation happened to me before and I was able to surpass it.
Yes, I’ve experienced it before but definitely a whole different story with them. At a very young age, I became a father to a cute and smart little boy named Kurt Enzo. He was named after the lead vocalist of my favorite rockband, Nirvana. He is one of my stress busters. Just thinking of his cute gestures and talking to him can make a bad day turn into a great one. My friend’s story made me miss Kurt so much than before. I miss the way he calls me “Neethan” because he’s having a hard time pronouncing my name Neytan, hehe. But when his Mom showed him some alphabet flash cards, the letter D with the word Doughnut caught his ever changing mind. Since then, he got fond of calling me Doughnath. He is so adorable and can really make me smile effortlessly. How cute he is everytime he makes lambing and asks for Jabibi (Jollibee), yoyet (chocolates), toter (helicopter), and epen (airplane) from me. Next school year, I believe he’ll go to school already. Just now, he’s so eager to study. He keeps on borrowing her Mom’s pens and does some doodling thing on papers, chairs, tables, and even on walls. Haha. I am so proud of him. He is my son.

Sa buong buhay ko, ngayon lang ako nawalan ng boses. As in ubos talaga. Kahapon medyo may konte pa eh kaso after ko sya tawagan ng dalawang magkasunod na beses, naubos na ng tuluyan. Tinatawanan nya nga ko, halata daw na masakit lalamunan ko at hirap ako magsalita. =( Ang sweet nya no? Pero okay lang, inasar ko naman sya kasi nahalata kong kinilig sya when I called her, nyahaha. Actually that wasn’t the first time I called her, yung first time eh mas nakakatawa. Medyo nagtatampo kasi sya nun ( samin na lang yung reason, kala nyo ha Sommer-sault and Aling Baby =p ), hinde sya nagrereply sa mga text messages ko, so naisipan ko syang tawagan. Parang timang, kasi hinde sya gaano nagsasalita, haha. Na-speechless amp. Tapos ayaw nya rin mag iloveyou saken kahit anong pilit ko. Yun pala kasi, she’s with her brother and other relatives, haha. So later that night, tinawagan ko ulit sya gusto ko marinig yung iloveyou nya, which I did. It felt so good kaya after one call, tumawag ulet ako kasi gusto ko ulit marinig yung iloveyou nya. It’s like a music to my ears kasi. =)
Teka, baket ba napunta na ko dun, ganito yata talaga kapag ano.. ano.. ehem. Basta. Back to the main topic, hehe. Ayun nga, wala talaga akong boses ngayon. My throat aches. Inisip ko kung ano ba pinaggagawa ko baket nagkaganito, first time kasi. Naalala ko naulanan nga pala ko nung isang gabi sa paghahanap ng tapsilog, tapos napasabak pa ko sa inuman nung isang gabi. Gagawa sana ko ng separate entry for that pero isasama ko na lang dito. It was a fun night. Sort of despedida na rin for me.

Yesterday, some of my work friends and I decided to take a half day from our usual working hours. At first, I was hesitant because I am in charge with the over all floor plan of one of our major projects. But after a couple of hours of convincing, I finally agreed. I told Shayne (one of the gorgeous female architects that I know, haha), to supervise the field temporarily. I made sure though that everything’s under control before I left.
Before the clock hit 12pm, Arman, Rod, Joey, Greg, and I were already off from work. We stopped by at each other’s place to change clothes and grab something to eat along the way. And then we headed straight to San Francisco where the event will be held. It was the Billabong Surfing School. It was cool. Bumped into old familiar faces and met new friends. Everybody surely had a blast.
We spent the whole afternoon catching the large waves, eating barbecues, exchanging laughs and more. We didn’t waste the oppotunity to take wonderful pictures as well. After numerous try outs on the boards, our stomachs complained. We took a short walk and landed on this unique restaurant. They have these old surfing boards piled together and were made as walls and ceilings. Really amazing.
At around 6pm, we called it a day. We’re all tired but it was definitely worth the undertime work. We told ourselves that we will join again on the 3rd upcoming event.
Nyahaha! Ang aga aga, naligo si Kurt sa Stonewood pool. Antok pa nga eh and ang lamig ng tubig pero sige pa rin. He’s with his yaya.
For more scandalous pictures of him, click here. Hahaha.
