my brother's and beng's friends came by tonight to celebrate his last birthday as a single man. meanwhile, the MC's for the wedding, shikko (pinsan ko) and beng's friend, along with marco's (kapatid ni beng) expertise with the video cam (i swear ako lang ata walang kino-contribute sa kasal na to), went on to ask a series of questions to some guests
shikko: ano ang mami-miss mo sa kuya mo pag kinasal na sya?
ako: pwede bang yung hindi ko na lang mami-miss???
[later on, i said: a...wala ng mag-aayos ng PC ko. with the face. (this is obviously a joke)]
(i seriously can't think of any though, so i lied and said something mushy bec shikko would grill me)
then i thought of one incident with jamie. jamie would have been a our thesismate had she delayed herself for one term. she took her thesis a term earlier than us, thus this girl who became a staple in my marketing management life became a girl i would see for an hour in a span of a month.
during one of those times, we bypassed the "hi-s, hellos, how are yous" for her furious monologue about her thesis (and those who are writing it with her). imagine mariel during the afternoon live feed of pbb on studio 23, where she just keeps going on and on and on...
i was feeling all the negativity, and being unable to come up with anything sensibly comforting to say to her, all i came up with was: um, ang payat mo ngayon.
she was obviously caught off-guard. she stopped momentarily (a normal person would not have noticed the shift), smiled, and kept going. but minus all the negativity and distress
friends,
family,
