"is she the one?  can i meet her?"

can i just die?

my dog sings (or howls) to dusty springfield’s god bless the child - specific, take note, no other version, particularly during the instrumental horns climactic section.  you don’t believe me?  come to my house, i’ll show ya. 

"I’m getting a bacon-burger, man!"

with so much going on as it is, whatwithall the extra drums and cymbals, the irregular beats, the reading of notes on the score sheet, the sessionist li’l drummer-boy finds time to set his left drumstick down on his lap every once in a while to scratch his face, wipe the sweat off his forehead, fix his headphones, signal a thumbs up sign to a wide-eyed, gaping spectator…

erica:  huy jac!  sabi ng mom ko ang ganda daw ng aura mo.

jacqui:  wow.  talaga? 

– i was genuinely interested coz in the first place erica’s mom is a very spiritual and religious person, baka she really sees auras as in she’s that in touch with the spiritual world and can spot a good or bad person a mile away.  plus i believe i come across as a dark person who rejects happiness and attracts misfortune –

ano daw kulay? 

lucas:  pink. 

jacqui:  pink?

lucas:  si jacqui ano yan eh, rainbows and butterflies.  ano jac.

jacqui:  binabasa mo blog ko noh, sabi na nga ba eh.   

stumbled upon the new bo bice cd on the now playing stand at tower and i just bought it, right off the bat *snap* just like that.  i didn’t know any of the songs, i had no idea what kinda music clive approved for bo’s "debut album", i just had to get that cd.  shemps, gotta support the boyfriend. 

-shift tense-

so i step out of the store, sit on a bench where my mom is waiting (eating her hotdog sandwich) and rip the cellophane off the cd to inspect.  ooh the exclusive mini poster looks hot (joe… in case of emergency call 1-800-hottie… woohoo).  nevermind if it took up all the space where the lyrics shoulda been.  no lyrics so i go straight to the thank yous. 

and then i get the greatest, most devastating shock of my life. 

bo says thanks to God, his parents, his wife Caroline and… what?!? his wife?!? and son Aidan?!?  but in season4 she was only his girlfriend, whom i truly believed he was gonna break up with when he became famous, and now they have a son?!  lies!  ALL LIES!!! 

and at the bottom of the page, in fine print, reads: to my #1 fan Jacqui, PLEASE surrender the fantasy.

If you’re over me, I’m already over you
If it’s all been done, what is left to do
How can you hang up if the line is dead
If you wanna walk, I’m a step ahead
If you’re moving on, I’m already gone
If the light is off then it isn’t on

item 9: i don’t need a new pencilcase anymore.  lucas found my old one in our mandaluyong apartment and brought it home for me last friday.  we all used to stay in that apartment when we were in college together and then later on in pbt together - but now it’s just lucas coz he’s mba-ing in UP.  my incubus science and pirated dave cds are still there, my ateneo jacket, my yearbook… should go there one of these days to collect. 

item 13: inside my old pencilcase i found this small note that read "dear jacqui and ivy, i’m bored.  love, niners."  my first reaction was huh sino yun.  and then i remembered nina, our classmate in spanish under senor fons.  ivy and i were the lone juniors in that class, everybody else were seniors, taking spanish as an elective.  edgar was also in that class, that guy my mom said looked like andres bonifacio.  he was babble senior year and my mom spotted him at one of the games.  "ang galing ni luigi mag-cheer!  tama lang that he was put in the middle.  pero that guy assigned to my section looked so funny, parang di bagay mag-cheerleader.  you know, the payat one with the andres bonifacio hairdo."  ang landi at ang sama talaga ng nanay ko.  no wonder i’m like this. 

item 30: yesterday i made round about as much as i would get from 2 weeks of teaching in lasalle in a single day.  that raket with erica was so easy that i could’ve done it for free or as a favor for ‘my friend!’.  ssshh of course that’s just between you and me heehee.  yes due to dire circumstances, erica and i have turned to part-timing as high-class escorts -AS IF!  no agent in his right mind would hire me as an escort.  dyahe lang sa raket ako ang bida at hindi si manila’s 5 loveliest erica kasi ako lang iba costume.  btw i find it astig that both bubu and her boyfriend jp are architects-in-training.  can’t wait for them to marry and build their house!

imagine there’s no countries it isn’t hard to do nothing to kill or die for no religion too imagine all the people living life in peace…
