exciting but exhausting (saturday surprise)

July 30, 2005, Saturday. There goes again. My pain. It was disturbing me again. My tummy pain. I was hungry. I was in the middle of my irritating English class. The teacher (yeah you hear me, I called her teacher!) was treating us like high school, DAMMIT! I was exchanging texts with Bryan (AKA The Walking Stick ) and we agreed to eat breakfast somewhere outside the campus. I exited the classroom while the teacher was discussing something. Tss, like I care?

Bryan and I went for sisig that morning and I felt a slight tummy pain. Arg! We were away from class for like 45 minutes already and we finally decided to go back. But then my classmate texted me saying that I shouldn’t go back to class just yet because some of my classmates were pinapagalitan by our teacher (Taena, high school amp! DAMMIT!) and I might get included with the unfortunate ones. So there, I stayed in the Pavilion to wait.

When it was break time, I met up with my classmates and they told me that they had a seatwork. Tss, like I care? I joined in the class and the classes resumed. We (or they) had another seatwork. Darn, I was like “eenie minie moe” ponyeta! I didn’t get to listen to the lecture so probably, I’m gonna fail this test. Tss, like I care? (again?) That 2nd seatwork was considered more like a quiz, ponyeta! So, while on the quiz, Tammi goes mp3 while answering. It didn’t help, but it was keeping my cool. Arg!

When the teacher finally hindered us from answering the cursed test, I used my evil eye and copied some of my seatmate’s answers. Dalawa lang nakopya ko, ponyeta!

Ok, after the checking (high school talaga. DAMMIT!) I realized that I got 0! Arg! But good thing I copied my seatmate’s answers and I got 1! Arg! Then without thinking twice, without minding the teacher in front of me, I used my mighty hand to change my answers. There! I got 10 na! … 10 out of 30! DAMMIT!

Ok ok, like the saying goes, don’t cry over spilled milk, but cry over spilled Redhorse… or something like that… I just took my mind off the cursed test and listen to more musika.

Next class, Pinoy. Our Pinoy Professor is very slow (as in SLOW!) that some students exclaim behind him “Slow Mo!” As in, short for ‘Slow Motion’. Like a usual thing I do, I shouted “SLOW MO!” in front of him. Did I get punished? Nah… He’s slow e. ^o^

So finally, my Saturday classes for the week are done and the next thing I knew, I’m in Katips with Jason and exchanging texts with Diestro. Do I have to include here our messages??? Uh… Wak na! HAHA.

Jason and I decided to hang out in Select muna kasi di pa ok sa ARDZ. He was so generous that he bought me a can of Redhorse. Yey! Free beer! Wihi! ^o^ We just chatted there and Rinna arrived. We talked a little about my x. They were like “Taena yung gagong yun e!” Hehe. I’m so happy I have friends who can say na gago x ko. It really makes my day. ^o^ Anyways, Jem arrived shortly and we started talking about our kagaguhans in life not minding the girl behind us reading a big Bible. But we weren’t sure if it was a Bible though.

Jem was initiating his transformation. Kapag pass 6pm, bakla na raw xa. He was so funny, he went, “Ayyy yung bird ni Jaju, kumindat sakin!” along with his gay accents. XD

We decided to go to ARDZ na and we hanged out there. While we were making kulit on the couch considering na may konting amats ako, I noticed that there were few people outside. I told Rinna to come along with me for I reckon that Roc may be outside. She agreed.

While we were walking towards the glass door, I noticed someone sitting outside and thought, “Wuy, kamukha ni Nero o!” Then Rinna exclaimed, “Tammi, si Nero o!” Then I replied, “Uu nga e, kamukha ni Nero…” So then, we went outside and I sat next to the Nero-look-alike. I watched him yap thru his phone then I blurted “Tangina mo anung ginagawa mo dito!?” Yup, it really was Nero. I was surprised, shocked, excited, happy.. Darn! Can’t tell how much he lightened me up by surprisingly showing up! But I sure can tell na maghahanap nanaman ng inuman to si Oka (AKA Nero )! …exciting! He was with a short girl named Pute.

After a few walks and goof offs, the gig at ARDZ started and we are finally accompanied by Ate Bat Bat and Roc (the musician of the night sa tropa namin. Hihi!)

And so and so and so… I just found my self greeting old friends. I was in front of ARDZ, and saw Jom. I went in and saw a few familiar Scholastican faces. In front of the stage (or more like a performing corner.. tever..???), I noticed my classmate watching the gig and I was like “Chukiiieee!” and noticed that Memer was also with him. We started watching the gig of an unknown band and noticed another friend coming my way. I stood up to meet Simon. After a few hours, the Scholasticans were leaving and I noticed the men with them - I waved at Rigo and laughed the hell out of me when I saw Segis. Lolz. They even said that Makhoy was also in ARDZ but I didn’t make an effort to see him… Tss, like I care?

It was fun there at Katips, Pute and Nero mentioned that Katips looks like a province. Dami daw puno! Haha! Mga taga-Maynila talaga o dung! Anyways, even if I was already with Oka that long, I still can’t believe that he is with us, with my barkada, in ARDZ! He said that he only went with Pute because he knew that Rinna and I would be there. Rinna and I were like “awwwww.” :x ^_^ Such a sweet thing my sister Oka did, noh?

After the rock music and Colt mixed together, Jason asked me if he could put his sim in my phone. I was hesitant but I agreed. Ok ok, nice decision Tammi, my phone got busted. Ack! And Jason was over reacting by giving me his phone. I ignored it and borrowed Jom’s. When I put my sim in his 7650 (Shux, I miss my 7650 ), a message came in. Yup yup, I was once again exchanged text messages with Diestro. He asked me if I could go to Jepoy’s (Jeffrey Paragas) house. I agreed because Jepoy is my neighbor.

Finally, Jason and Ate Bat Bat’s mum arrived about a little pass 10pm. It was sad because I had to say goodbye to my sister Oka but somehow, I kinda felt excited. Uhh… Siguro naman may idea na kayu kung bakit.

Pretty soon, I found my self looking at Jepoy’s gate. There’s nothing unusual with it… Pero wala lang, it’s blue e! HEHE. A man came out and I asked for Jepoy immediately. He said that they left. I was acting cool with what the old man said but deep inside, I was like “Ack! Ano? Hindi puedeng mag-gala sila nu! HELL NO WAY!” But the man mentioned that they just went out for yosi… Right… Yosi…

Then Tabo (Nico Tabones) arrived. He just came from Pampanga. He was also looking for Jepoy. We waited for them - Jepoy, Diestro, and I dunno who the hell the others are. We chatted while waiting. 10 minutes have passed and we were starting to run out of topics to discuss.

20 minutes…
25 minutes… Then I started to rest my head… I was sleepy and a bit drunk… Arg…
30 minutes…
40 minutes… Tabo woke me up and told me to go home nalang. Ok, so that’s what I did. Arg, muntik na ko makatulog sa kalye! I was like “Taena mo Diestro, wag ka magpapakita sakin!”

I arrived at my house about 12:45am and tried to call his phone. But it was “The subscriber shit cannot be reached, pota please try again later taena.” I assumed that he is out of battery charge so I just sent him a text message, slightly pouring my grudge. Haah…

Then off I went to dream land. I woke up at 12 noon the next morning.
