Waiting in Vain

"I don't wanna wait for our lives to be over
I want to know right now, what will it be??
I don't wanna wait for our lives to be over
Will it be ‘yes’? Or will it be ‘sorry’?"
(Paula Cole)


About a week ago, the second week of classes, I had a really strange dream—one that I'll never forget for the rest of my life…

I was walking past Kostka Extension of Arrneow and was looking through the posters and announcements on the promo boards when I felt somebody's hand from my back, touching my left shoulder. The walk was so dark and quiet that I thought there was nobody there but me (tikawat ada ak hadto hin Bamboo nga poster. hihi!), and so I was shocked when this happened. I turned my back to see who it was and poof! The eligible bachelor SIR ELDY CAANG was there, flashing his "kita-pati-it-gums" smile! And then we began to talk, just like one of those ordinary days…

ako: Sir!! napakalas ka man!
eldy: Anu na? Nagpa-validate ka na nim ID? (with the usual makaharangit nga tono)
ako: Waray pa, sir…
eldy: Kana, uupdan…

(and then we walked towards Xavier Hall, tas nautud nak inup)

Nyekz! That was so weird. Sir Caang was acting so concerned, with the image of a "super-class-adviser-to-the-rescue" (which was soooo not-like him! haha! ;p). The thought of that dream had been bothering me so much that I decided it was finally about time I had my ID validated…

(by ADSA…)

ADSA girl: Yes, ma'am?
ako: Umm, ID validation…
ADSA girl: (grins) Ba't ngayon lang? Di ba may 2 weeks na sked for that? Sa 2 weeks na yun wala kang time?
ako: (just smiled the plastik smile)
ADSA girl: Hindi, tinatanong ko lang…
ako: Busy po ako nun…
ADSA girl: Ah okey. Paki-antay na lang po dun… (points at waiting area)

I waited for almost ten minutes before I was finally called for picture-taking. With those ten minutes of boredom, I was left with a cellular phone and an Analytical Chem textbook. (alang naman mag-study ak, so…) The idea of placing missed calls to every person on my phonebook crossed my mind. When I reached ELMER ROMERO's name, I was called by the ADSA officer.

Then, when I was done with the picture-taking, I checked my phone, and chadaa!!

Crush (",) was his name (yes "HIM, "the one", "sha na!", tuud na ini! ahihihi…) on my phonebook.

Yikes! Buhi hiya!! =D


"Ilang isaw pa ba ang kakainin, o giliw ko?
Ilang tansan pa ba ang iipunin, o giliw ko??
Gagawin ko ang lahat, pati ang thesis MO
Wag MO lang ipagkait ang hinahanap ko
Sagutin MO lang ako, aking sinta'y
Walang humpay na ligaya!"
