SAMEDI:

I woke up around seven in the morning. Mom left home before I did. I practiced piano, then prepared to leave for Yin’s place. Damn this hellish traffic. I brought a box of doughnuts and a big, green mango. I arrived at my destination quarter before twelve in the afternoon.

Their front gate was open so there’s no need to knock. There, I found Yin and her Mom cooking for lunch. I turned out that they will have other visitors besides me. And I was surprised to see Yin’s grandmother. You know, she never told us (or me) that she still have a grandmother. Yin and I went to their bedroom and we just talked. She browsed my phone and I browsed her. Her cellphone was superb; it has a tv, radio, internet, you name it. I think it was an iPhone. I’ve seen our picture during her 18th birthday; we’re all present, except for Aubrey and Maebell. I didn’t look so bad as well. She took out her album and showed me the pictures.

Then, I told her about Stephen, the gross Swiss guy. And the rest was all remisniscing. We ate dougnuts while talking. Her mom called us for lunch. After lunch, we ate leche flan, then freshened ourselves and went to Jeni’s house.

Boy, the house was a total mess. We went upstairs, directly at Jeni’s room, like what we always do whenever we visit. We met her on their house’s hallway on the second floor. She just stepped out of the bathroom. Her mom was home, and we just watched tv and talked. We watched American Idol, Amazing Race and more.

American Idol just showed some Americans have dumb sides too. I mean, they claim that they live in the most powerful country in the world, and yet, they can’t bring Idol wannabes in mental institutions. If I’m one of them, I’ll surely lock some of Idol wannabes due to their mental retardation. Good thing, it’s funny.

We caught a glimpse of Amazing Race Asia. Marc Nelson is way hot. One of the contestants said that she’s tired of seeing Marc Nelson’s face in billboards, print ads, posters and brochures, when they were in the country. Hello, Marc Nelson is a model.

Jherson showed up, and I could say that he already became a religious fanatic. He behaved like old times, insensitive of what I could feel, but I just held my head high, acted maturely and smiled as I hugged him. He was surprised, but recovered within seconds, and he did the same to Yin. See? He didn’t stay for long. Michaelangelo, Jeni’s nephew gave me fishballs. I swear, that kid gets more handsome everytime I see him. And he’s quite tall now. We went outside to eat fishballs. Then, we decided to go to Kenichi’s house. Nobody was there, so we headed for KR’s house. According to Shem (Kr’s fratello), KR was still in school. We just went back to Jeni’s house, curled up in the big couches and just talked. We just talked and talked and talked. We talked about our friends, our classmates and our former school. I shared them how hard my life was in Letran. I told them about Lane and Sarina.

On of our topics was about Jenerose. They liked the girl, but there’s only one problem; she’s a bad influence. I told them that I hated her all my life, because she’s so mean. When we were in highschool, when I’m eating, she grabs whatever it is and takes a bite. At first, I don’t care at all. But then she got so bossy, and she orders me around, then tells me how ugly I am. She thinks she’s beautiful but she’s not. She’s short and have big teeth. Once, I borrowed a magazine from Aubrey, and I was reading it, and she grabbed it because she wanted to read it too. I was pissed off, but I didn’t let go of the magazine, and we had a little tug of war. She won, but I didn’t give up. I called her names (I’m not proud, okay?) like “buraot”, “pg” and whatever that could hurt her feelings. I think she was hurt but she didn’t show it, and slammed the magazine on the floor. But I didn’t stop there. My classmates backed me up and suggested names for her. I forgot what happened afterbut I’m sure that I was so happy that time, because of my sweet vengeance.

And when we’re in our senior year, she borrowed a tape from me, but I didn’t lend her. Her seatmate borrowed it and I gave it to her seatmate. She was watching when I did that. Then, she asked her seatmate if she could have the tape right after, but Joanne told her, “Baka ayaw ni Regine, kaya hindi pwede”. That’s right. Then, months after we graduated, we went back to school for an alumni gathering. I brought the ball with me and I was playing v-ball with Mozart and Marianne when she joined us. We’re on the shade, and as the sun moved, our space became smaller. Jenerose arrogantly ordered me to move out of the shade and play under the sun while she remains under the building’s shadow. I openly defied her and shouted at her, “O sige, ikaw na lang. That’s my ball, for your information.”

And I heard that she stopped going to school. Ha, I know it’s wrong to be happy about other’s misfortunes, but she deserves it. I also heard that she had this big birthday party before she dropped from school. Nobody came, including Yin, whom she claims her ”bestfriend”. I treat Yin as my bestfriend, I’m not sure if I’m her bestfriend, but I’m so sure that we’re closer than sisters. But then, she told me that I’m her bestfriend. And everybody knows it.

And everybody knows also that Jenerose is my archenemy. Erika’s no better, but at least, Erika tries to be nice, and she treats me well, so then, we’re friends. Jeni and Yin despise Jenerose too.

It was seven in the evening when we decided that we should get back at Yin’s house. We kissed and hugged Jeni goodbye before we left. We just ad a quick dinner at Yin’s house and I went home.

I was so worried that I wouldn’t catch the last train, but I prayed to God not to let the train go. And He answered. There were still two trains on the station. After paying, I walked towards the train, as if I was window-shopping; I wasn’t in a hurry. I was about to stepped in when the train door closed. I caught a glimpse of a cute dude who looked exactly like Luke Kirby (with curly locks and all) in Mambo Italiano, sitting inside. Too late. And the train left.

I waited for the next. I sat down and texted Yin that I already boarded the train. In the middle of the journey, another hottie boarded the train. And this time, he’s an Indian. He was standing in front of me. I was careful not to get caught looking at him, but he once did. Standing beside him was a hairy black man. Ew to the hair.

I got on the bus and started reading. It wasn’t a long journey, and when I was about to get out of the bus, a big, white, old man pinched my arm, and I think he did that on purpose. I wasn’t sure how to react, but he really grossed me out so I let a long, loud, “Ewwwww!!!” enough for the other passengers to hear. I stepped out of the bus and ran. I ain’t a beauty, but there are people who are really desperate, so I took out my pair of scissors and got ready to stab when someone walks near me. Maybe, it’s paranoia.

DOMENICA:

Woke up so late. Just finished the Romanov Prophecy all day. Learned that Benedict’s Dad was on town. Prepared for the interview.

LUNEDI:

Went to class and cut it short due to the interview. I tried my best to make my group leave early, but those three seemed not to care about time. We arrived at our destination by 12 pm, and we get to work right away. Unfortunaley, we couldn’t check in on that hotel because it’s so expensive, We looked for another place to work, and it’s a pretty long day. It was almost three in the afternoon when we found the right place. Actually, I wasn’t in favor in checking in in that hotel, because I don’t feel the place. I was just vetoed out; I was outnumbered, so I had no choice but to do what they want.

We started and finished in due time, so we just rested and chilled out. We watched “King’s Ransom” in HBO. Eugene stayed, the other two went home together while I took a different route. While was on the bus, I was thinking about buying “Soul Harvest” by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins, but I decided not to, because I could use the money for more important things.
