Temporary Madness

”I used to have a wish:
One day I'd feel like this.
Now I know lab exists,
'Cause YOU're standing right next to me...”


2 p.m. SM North:

ako: Oi, adi na ak.. hain ka?;p
HIM: nbs nliwat,hehe ü

At National Bookstore…

ako: Psst!
HIM: Uy!

Engk! Out of all the shirts we possibly could wear, it was the color ORANGE we chose to wear today. (yeah right, bagat big deal ;p) But it was CUTE, despite the kakosa-from-Munti outfits that we had. (yess! mga presong lagalag sa mall, what a perfect match! ;p) And if HE'd only worn shorts, our fashion statements would have spelled "uniform".

HIM: Maupay na la waray'k nag-shorts.
ako: Kayanu ka nag-orange??
HIM: Di man ini orange. (uu, kay light orange. shonga! ;p)

By the Greenwich counter…

ako: Anu't im? Libre ko.
HIM: Ayaw la balet, KKB la kita.
ako: Ayaw na… anu imu?
HIM: Ikaw la… (ako la kunu. diri ak pagkaun noh! =D)
ako: Mm, pizza…

As I finished eating…

ako: Tara…
HIM: Niyan gad, nakaun pa ak.
ako: Dalii kay tak tiyan, hihi
HIM: Niyan na, gusto ko mag-iniha nganhi.
ako: Agi tak buy-ay
HIM: Natuud ka hito?
ako: Uu.
HIM: Aww… hira (iya berks kunu) kay kahuman kaun, nagliliningkod liwat. Kay nangangadi kunu ha ubus (ha toot!)
(tawa liwat ak)

After more of his fables…

ako: Tara na!
HIM: Mayda pa…
ako: Kaiiha. Ako na daw la maubus hiton
HIM: Niyan, kahulog hito (points at ice on my glass)

And so we waited for the piece of ice (cylindrical ice with a hollow center whose hole I inserted through my straw and placed on top of my glass's rim, barbecue style) to fall off before leaving the place.

And we went straight to the cinemas, where I was made to choose which movie to watch. It was ‘Kingdom of Heaven’ for the most obvious reason: Orlando Bloom. (aheee! =D)


ako: Iton?
HIM: Ikaw…
ako: Maupay ito?
HIM: Okey la…
ako: Sige, ito na. Nakilala ka ba kan Justin Timberlake?
HIM: Baga, kay?
ako: Kanawung niya hi Orlando Bloom, di ba?
HIM: Huh? Balet…? Sige na la, uu…

And so we went in. It was dimly lit inside (shempre kay sinehan), but our shirts glowed in the dark, in all their orange-ness. As we walked through the aisle of the place, and as HE looked for seats… (shempre hiya la namiling kay buta ak. wakokok! ;p)

"Di ka anu nakita?"

A sudden uneasiness came upon me when I felt the gentlest pat of his hand on my shoulder. (aheeee!;p) Perhaps for HIM it was just a friendly pat, a friendly "akbay", simply a gesture of concern for the handicapped (i.e. buta!). But for me (sus ako pa!) and my malicious-minded self, it was more than that. (wakokoko! ;D) And so…

"Tugudug! Tugudug! Tugudug!"

Like never before, my heart was throbbing at an abnormally high rate (4 beats per second!) And I've never felt so jittery my whole life! Tsk tsk tsk… Soon after that, weird wriggling sensations went on within my stomach. (ito ngani nga "tiny butterflies" nga bagat naglulupad-lupad ha sakob tim tiyan, pero bagat mga wati! wakeke! ;p) My fingers began to tremble just like how it always does when I'm about to do ignitions in the lab. My body temp had risen to a blazing 40 degrees Celsius (exagg! :D) and my knees grew weak that I wanted so much to be seated. OMG! Was I ovulating??!!

Geez! With just a touch, HE (yes "HIM", "the one", "sha na!", tuud na ini! ahihihi…) could do so much! If all these are symptoms to being "torete", then I'm absolutely positive of being infected. TORETE na ak! haha! ;p

"Ngadi…"

And finally we were seated…

ako: Uy, palit.
HIM: Alagad ka, pagkakaun mo pa la
ako: Kay waray kit hihimuun (besides magkita ba) Sige na… =)
HIM: Anu?? Puydi man may kita himuun… (eeekz!)
ako: Kato. Sige na, popcorn ngan coke.

And as HE went, I was left there, all feverish and cold, trying to keep myself from shivering. Ageeh whatever it was that I felt, diri na adto normal! wakoko! =D

HE was unusually quiet the whole time—no jowk's, no singgit's, no anything. The only times that HE spoke were when I demanded of something…

Reklamo #1: Popcorn

ako: Maparat man!
HIM: Anu??
ako: Maparat.
HIM: Anu ito?
ako: Maparat? Di ka maaram? Meaning hito SALTY…
HIM: Aw amu ngayan ito?
ako: Uu.
HIM: Aw nadamu ko ada an asin, hehe

Reklamo #2: Buta-ness

ako: Agi di ak nakita…
HIM: Whaaat??!! Kadako na hito.
ako: Buta ak
HIM: Sul-uta gad. (glasses kunu)
ako: Diri ak.
HIM: Kayanu?
ako: Di ak naangay.
HIM: Hehe. Anu man balhin kita?
ako: Yaw na. (lipong! ;p)

Reklamo #3: Aircon

ako: Ayaw ngadto, mahagkut.
HIM: Ngain man?
ako: Ha diri mahagkut. (shonga!;p)

And probably desperate to shut my mouth up, HE just hastily grabbed my hand and led the way to our new seats. And although his palm was as rough as sandpaper, it still sent electrifying shivers through my bones. (pasteelan, kuryente gayud! :p) And eventually, HE left me speechless, distracted, and unable to comprehend what I was watching. Haay shut up na la ak, uu na la… ahihi! ^^,

At walang kamalay-malay
Na tinuruan mo ang puso ko
Na umibig nang tunay…"
