Had team breakfast at 6am after shift with some of my teammates (the others were on VTO) at dencios since we’ll be dispersed to different teams starting Saturday. We’re going to have new teammates, new manager and new TLs. Bagong pakikisama na naman to. I’m so gonna miss my first team in ETIS. Well then, like what I always say, to my now former teammates, I see you when I see you :D
At 9am I dashed to UP Diliman to buy some DVDs and meet up with Ditch. Since I was still wearing my uber-preppy polo shirt from work, I opted to drop by Maroons and get some old fashioned UP shirt. I got a maroon colored, medium-sized baby tee with “Mga Iskolar ng Bayan” emblazoned across the bottom part of the shirt right under oble’s printed image. It’s nice to reconnect with my roots. Hehehe.
Anyway, I was supposed to have my UP pilgrimage that same day as well (visit CSSP, UP Main Lib, Sunken Garden, book stalls at AS walk and at the Coop, though I was only able to drop by the DVD shop at SC) but I got there rather late and I still have some film viewing adventure with Ditch. So off we go to Rob Galleria to watch Wanted: Border. It was about an aswang landlady (played by the sublime Rosanna Roces). That is all I know about the movie though but I trust Ditch’s movie picks. But the Roman and Greek gods seemed to have conspired against the two of us because when we got there, Wanted: Border was not screening till 5:00pm! There was like a double screening in Cinema 8, and they’re screening Paranormal Activity when we got there. So we have no choice. We both don’t want to watch 2010 and we both have no plans whatsoever of seeing New Moon. Not in this lifetime! And so we set to Cinema 8 and watch Paranormal Activity instead. Besides, one of my teammates was watching it in her iPod this morning before we go to dencios and she seemed very terrified. I reckon I’ll somehow enjoy it.
And I was right, I enjoyed it actually. In a comic level that is! Haha!! It was like the funniest movie I’ve seen since Bruno. I think if it was only in the Philippines, the only rational and the most practical way to deal with the protagonists’ dilemma is to call their friendly neighborhood albularyo to administer the every so mystical tawas to put an end to the torments they are getting from some kapre or duwende. Hahahahaha!! In scenes where all of the audience should have been screaming there lungs out, I was hysterically laughing.
In the theater, it was just me and ditch and some Korean kids watching the movie. I bet they enjoyed it too. Hope I understand what they we’re saying though. I bet they “enjoyed” it the same way I did. Or maybe not. Perhaps I just have this tendency to chuckle while watching pathetically contrived horror movies which some people might not share. Hehehe.
In any case, amidst that “Paranormal Activity” fiasco, I genuinely had fun. It had been forever since I last talked with someone who I share the same passion with. We talked about films and books over lunch and I should say, that had been the most sensible conversation I had with someone apart from my brother since I started working again. Yes Kuya Ditch, I will try to finish 1984 and give you my unabashed opinion on the last part of the book!

I like the way you greet “Good Morning!” and flash that reassuring smile every time the day (or should I say night) starts. I like it whenever you smile awkwardly as if you’re just 16. I like the way your presence is felt whenever you’re around. I like the way you dress up. I like way you speak, as if you knew nothing but you actually do. I like it when you kid around, though no one notices. I like it whenever I confuse you with all my questions especially when you’re so busy. I like the way you’re always there when I need you, professionally that is. I like the way you entice my olfactory glands whenever you just had a smoke. I don’t usually relish it, but since it is you I do not mind. I like it every time you ask for something; you know with you’re rather cute coercion I will always give in. I like it whenever you whine that you’re depressed; then I’ll offer you some Mentos just to cheer you up. I like the way you expression turned rather serious when you asked me how old I think you were right after I said every thing is just part of growing up. I like it when you said you’ll watch over me since I was the only one left. I like the way you pampered me when I almost cried after a realization that I was the only one left. I like it when you apologized for something that is not entirely you’re fault. It was just hormones; I should be the one apologizing.
I like the fact that I am infatuated to you. It’s been a while since I actually like someone. I like you but I should not. I know hindi tayo talo, but I can’t help it. You’re so irresistible. Although it is sad I like the fact that I’ll never see you that much for like heaven knows how long. That might curtail this obsessive tendency. Hope to work with you again someday. I will surely miss you. I see you when I see you then :D
