The Time-Space Lapse...

Jan 19, 2012 01:11





  • After drinking hot cocoa with warm soymilk, I went to bed around...1AM then woke up at 5:30...I went to the fridge to think about what to make for breffie (breakfast) but decided to wait a little longer so I went back to bed.........

    BUT.

    When I woke up, it was 6:45 and I groaned, "Ughh lemme just go to sleep."

    Next thing I knew...I woke up at 10:30 (my class was at 10AM) and cursed as I scrambled out of bed and got ready.  I mutter to myself, "omg..*slaps forehead* the breakfast..screw it, I can eat it later" as I head out the door.

    ....

    ......

    .........

    .......... I didn't realize that where I was....

    ...was not where I should've been.

    It felt like the Philippines meets South Korea, only I'm in the rural "baranggays" but the names are in Konglish/Korean...

    I meet up with KQ and KJ to go to our schools, and we were walking and just chatting...the three of us started talking in different languages and subtitles were ALL OVER THE PLACE...(I kid you not)

    CHINESE, MALAY, TAGALOG, KOREAN.

    I am amazed, "How the hell do we know all these?" (lol im running late, why are we still chatting?)

    And then it starts to rain..

    Feeling the light drops of water on the palm of my hand, I looked to the sky and groaned, "Crud..I didn't know it was gonna rain..." with a scrunch on my face.

    KQ and KJ nodded simultaneously.

    Luckily KJ's school was closer to our location, and KQ's was a few blocks away...but mine was even further down into the city.   So, KJ rushed into her school, and the two of us ran for shelter from the sudden, pouring rain and to get to school before lunch started. By the time we got to KQ's school, the rain stopped.

    We looked at each other, puzzled for a few seconds before shrugging it off and parting ways for our own schools.

    I'm off to catch a jeepney and then I get off at a stop near the school.  I start running down the alleys, zigzagging my way through because the school itself is not exposed to the public eye.  It was one of the indoor, multistory buildings.  I nearly get into a road collision, barely missing a fast jeepney and an out of control rig truck because the driver himself was drunk.

    And then it starts to rain again.  I whined as I ran, "CRAP I'M ALREADY LATE. I'M FREAKING LATE ALREADY" and so I get out my phone to call a friend's number that first came to my mind.

    There's a gentle, yet a bit cocky voice on the phone, "Hey babe."

    I widened my eyes mid-run and did a double take, shocked at the first thing that came out of my phone.  I stared at it and then brought it back against my ear again.

    I was thrown off guard, "Dude...this is..Gelo..wtf?"

    The voice chuckled and said, "Okay..GELO...you know you're my babe, right?"

    This made me even more bewildered and blushing, despite the commotion around me.

    Trying to sound pissed off but stammered a bit, "W-WHO IS THIS?"

    The voice paused for a moment, as if convinced that I don't know him, and replies with a hint of hurt, "...This is Woohyun...Nam Woohyun, remember?"

    There's a short moment of silence as I stared at my phone in shock, in which Nam Freaking Woohyun slowly registered in my mind and I can't hear Woohyun's worried voice, "Gelo? Angelo? Babe, you still there?"

    When it all clicked...

    "WHAT IN THE ACTUAL -"

    Then I woke up, checking the clock.

    And it was 7:45AM.


weird dream..., gelo, is this the real life?
