Pedestal

Have you ever known a person whom you think so highly of, that every single word that escapes his lips is a gospel reading? Have you ever been so addicted to someone's company, that just the thought of seeing him again is enough to get you out of your warm bed during a cold December morning? Have you ever trusted someone with your life, and almost blindly just take in every word he says as the truth?

Has he ever disappointed you and in the process sent your emotions on a cruel roller coaster ride?

Distance changes people. The nasty thing about it is that no matter how much anger, frustration or even pain you feel at a given moment, it never negates the fact that this person will always remain on a pedestal. And no matter how much you try to contain your pride, you will always end up scrambling to mend fences and start all over again.

Useless Musings from over the Weekend

Spent Saturday night with a guy I used to like (actually, "like" is an understatement. "Obsess" is a little more accurate.). Once you get past the wierdness that comes with heavy emotional ek, it's actually very refreshing to start over and just enjoy each other's company without the complication of having "feelings" that eat you up from inside.

***

Drinking last Saturday was a blast, and I didn't feel a thing until I actually realized how many bottles I had. I therefore conclude that you will never get drunk if you don't count.

Need a laugh trip? If you are a Globe user, you can avail of their new dictionary service. Just type "translate(space)(word you want translated)" and send it to 2333. The bastos words are the funniest. Best done with a group of friends over drinks.

***

Alcohol + A bachelor (read: player) with "girl-problems" + 2 highly emotional PMS-y women = One helluva "Don't-be-a-jerk" sermon

One packet of Extra Joss will wake you up. Two packets of Extra Joss will turn your brain into mush for the rest of the day.

New Girl

The first day at work is not very different from the first day at school. You worry about whom to have lunch with and how much time you will have to sit and stare at the ceiling before the clock reads "5:30 pm". Above all of this though, there is always one question that will clog your mind.

Will these people be nice to me?

It's so amusing how possessing a huge kikay kit full of make-up can suddenly make women a whole lot friendlier. On the other hand, wearing a short skirt, 3-inch stilettos and red lipstick has exactly the same effect on men.

Creepy

After lunch today, I went with Kookie to her salon to accompany her while she got her hair done. After her haircut, we decided to go to Makati Cinema Square to check out the tiangge there. We were checking out phones and laughing at the clothes they sold, when she remembered that she wanted to check out if this Wicca store was still open. Kookie is into Wicca, and she said that she used to buy stuff from there a few years back. The store was located at a secluded spot in the basement, where, aside from the almost full binggo place, had a lot less foot traffic. When we got there, we were surprised to see that the store closed down already. The glass doors were sealed shut and a makeshift plywood wall was used to keep people away. Signs written on masking tape strips said "Do not open. -Management", and were stuck all over what used to be the entrance to the store. Curious, we peered inside the dark room. At first, all I saw were remnants of an abandoned stall. The former tenants left a lot of stuff inside and was obviously in a hurry when they evacuated, but aside from that, I didn't see anything too weird. I looked at Kookie and sighed, "hmmm, bakit kaya?" Then, she looked at me and quietly said, "may nangyari dito." I peered inside the glass door. What I saw on the floor sent chills through my spine.

A pentacle was drawn in black spray paint on the floor, and in the middle of the figure stood black candles. As soon as this image greeted my eyes, I felt a shiver travel from my toes to my nape. I looked at Kookie, and without even having to say a word, we started to walk away from the stall. Apparently, a mall security guard saw us because he approached us and said, "Ma'am, ano po ang hinahanap nyo jan?" Kookie then asked why the stall was evacuated, and the security guard said, "Nagka-problema po sila, kaya wala na." While saying this, he gave us a look as if to say, yes, you are probably thinking what I am thinking and you are probably right.

A few minutes later, while Kookie and I were waiting for our food to be served at a nearby restaurant, I told her that the whole thing creeped me out. She said that the pentacle and black candles are usually used to drive out evil spirits, and that something probably happened there which made them have to perform that ritual. She knew that the owner was into Wicca as well, and did not have any qualms about giving tutorials about Wiccan rituals. Something must have happened inside that stall that attracted evil spirits, and they had to drive them away.

I am normally oblivious to supernatural stuff, and that was definitely one of the creepiest sights I have ever seen.
