cause and effect I

last monday i've gone to my friend's place
(faust) just to see him. he said that ida
and kuya dy will be coming over to play cards
so i might as well come, crash in although i don't
play cards.

i got there first. i raided his books in search
of new stuff to borrow when ida came in along
with a jug o melon-milk
(yes the fresh milk that is incidentaly colored orange)
and a batch of cookies.

we talked..
laughed..
exchange intimate facts about each other..
(we end up playing that card game in which
a player ask this questions in the card and the
others must answer)
and then they played that game..

VAMPIRE

whatever!?! wala ako alam dun kya un..

after a min.or two i begun sketching at faust's
sketch pad.
i got bored..
kuya dy didn't came...
i wrote faust a letter and post if in his tag board
just above his bedspace along the side of rai's
grad.letter to him...

i took some pictures..
i looked at some too..
i stopped moving..
breathing..

after 3 hours (of hearing them playing,
tutoring each other, saying stuff i don't see
in my vocabulary..ok i can see it in mine but that's
beside the point..!d ako nag lalaro!)
they finished "the game"...

i find my self breathing again..

*TADUM-TADUM*

they talked some more..
issues..
problems..
my mind wonder..

"5 na uwi na tayo"

"ok sige, jere ung kwento ko un na.."

"lakad tayo! punta kila dy!"

"ha?!layo!"

"starbucks?!?"

"cge!!"

"anything to detain yehn!"

we walked the "walked" to the other gate..
the bridge..
convergys! at last!
