pure non-fiction
A day in the life (finally!)
10:40 bestfriend Mae-Ann on the phone. Stories new and old, and, always, a very satisfying conversation.
11:30 pm Ma asks for water, I go get a pitcher.
-Sunday-
1:00 am saying goodnight to friend Janica has never been so (hard) as i kept battling drowziness just to keep myself awake. Apparently she was feeling sleepy too. Goodnyt text message never sent between two parties.
2:45 alarm goes off, head is in a daze. Delighted to see Ma cooking breakfast (hotdogs and eggs) exclusively for me.
3:30 on the road to Mandaluyong
4:30 am conversation with Atty. Catalino Castillo. “Tito, kinakabahan ako sa interview!” My father’s brother stared at me at the eye and told me: ‘you should be’. Then he laughs.
7:00 asleep on the couch. Saliva drooling.
8:17 Tita feeds me; eggs, hotdogs, coffee and Hershey’s Dark Chocolate
9:05 On the road to Bicutan exit. Heavy traffic in SLEX. Hell. More chocolates shared with Pa. Better Living sighted.
10:21 Rodrigo Rebullida, the Godfather, greets us at the gates. My mother’s older brother was beaming as I was given a glass of Coke light. Breakfast: luncheon meat, rice, melons and bananas.
10:40 (I watch the Sixers kill the Miami Heat)
11:30 Watching Troy again for the nth time. Oh well. Lunch beckons me on. Fried fish (pompanos that are also founding Florida), beef picadillo, pineapples, and a cigarette stick for me.
01:20 On the road. Terrible heat wave going on EDSA.
2:55 Munching on Bread Pan and C2 as Ma and me watched Richard Gutierrez, Era Madrigal and Katrina Halili on SOP. Shet. Lupin.
3:40 Sleeping. Aircon can’t beat the heat. Hell.
5:13 Coffee, and a quick shower. SM North day. Oh man. Yahoo. Bored.
6:16 Sunset. Still hot. On the road.
7:30 pm The Block should have been filled with ice cubes. Hot still. I go beg my parents for money to buy load. Oh well. A bum, me.
8:00 dinner. Man Hann has never looked this enticing, especially with Yang Chow fried rice, Spicy Spareribs, Seafood Special and Fried Squid. Iced Tea to boot, and always, Coke Light.
8:40 on the road back to Diliman.
9:00 babysitting on my Mama Vicky’s house. I just love playing hide and seek with nieces and cousins. Ate Kle and Colleen and Nicole are such wonderful girls to be with.
9:40 Victor Castillo, banker, lends me his sablay. I thank my cousin. Graduation day, here I come.
10:15 family prayers said and I eat again. C2 and popcorn.
11:22 pm PBB and Starstruck, baby. Friendster.com and NBA.com
11:fortysomething pm: this post posted.

Finally! Something I could relate with. This entry made me miss my mom’s cooking, our family trips and weekends.
