no longer a virgin
Both of us were scared, this being our first time. "Ingatan mo," I cautioned. "Kinabukasan ko ito."
"Oo nga; natatakot tuloy ako." was the response.
As locks of my hair were lifted by gentle fingers, I felt warmth creeping up my cheeks. "Mainit pala pag ganito."
"First time?"
"Oo."
"Virgin..." Again, a soft caress.
A few minutes later...
"Ayan! Sabi sa 'yo, maganda yung buhok mo pag pinlantsa eh! Tingnan mo, straight na straight! Gusto mo sa Monday ulit. Pasok ka'ng maaga; magplantsa ulit tayo."
Kalimugtong. I finally saw Kaith again. A large chunk of our "sisters' day out" was spent gabbing about what transpired since we last met; emphasis on "current events"
(I can't believe I haven't seen you in two freaking years! Sabi sa 'yo, bata ka pa nun, at ang laki-laki mo na ngayon - your dear ate really got suspended in time... you know well enough what I mean; thanks for waking me up... haha).
We watched an indie film presented at the UST Medicine Auditorium, "Ang Daan Patungong Kalimutong" by Mes de Guzman. It was about the lives of two young orphans born and raised in the mountains of Benguet. The movie threw in realities residents of remote areas have to face every day. Just imagine having to walk for hours just to be able to reach school - and this isn't a simple stroll along paved roads but climbing through steep parts of the mountainside, not to mention carefully stepping at slippery slabs of stone, with running water around it nonetheless. Their two older brothers are working at a place far from home, their grandfather is sick (and keeps making strange noises... haha) so the little people really had to fend for themselves.
Reality for these children may be harsh, but every situation was kept light by innocent, dry humor.
So was the movie great? All I can say is, "El Shaddai."
(The mini-film "Rags" and trailer for "Balikbayan Box", also by Mes de Guzman, were shown as well. Hmm… this is one filmmaker we have to watch out for. Ang galing eh. The movies are about social issues but you won’t fall asleep; I love his humor.)
Postcript: Sis! "I really do love you in a thousand ways." Bwahahahahaha... bwahahahahahaha!!! (Miss you already).
Pain. In my back. Across my shoulders. In my legs. At the balls of my feet. Between my eyes.
The past month was probably the most stressful I had to date. Towards my assigned cut-off I've been having chest pains as well. Lack of sleep and worry about a dozen other things (besides work) didn't help. But what the heck... Extra Joss lang yan. "Miss, TUBIG!"
I'm glad weekend's here. Sleep? Give me plenty, if you please
Byaheng langit? What if you like someone very much, but pride, ambition and (possibly, but not quite) a past you can't let go of prevent you from giving in to your feelings?
Uncreative and stupid as these reasons might be, I can't simply give them up. Yeah, yeah... I've always been one who makes things complicated, getting my heartstrings in a desperate tangle.
I don't even know what I want from you. It's just you that I want. And when you're with me I can't seem to get enough.
