so yesterday

So it was v-day yesterday, and i sort of missed it. Again. Well, i've excuse for this year, i was busy with work. He he. hm. I'm actually tired right now. No, not from always missing it, damnit. Just tired from yesterday's work. I was in Argao the entire day, by the way. And Argao, if you want to know, is 66 kms away from Cebu City, or about a 2-hour ride by van. It was a whole day mini suroy-suroy sa Sugbu. We climbed mountains, attended 2 groundbreaking and 2 ribbon cutting ceremonies. And heard 10,000 speeches! This is actually why i chose this profession, bec when you get this kind of assignment there's always no room for dull moments. Yay!

I did not have a gameplan yesterday, i already watched Jumper the day before that, eh, so it was sort of a free day for me to do what i wanted to do after work. But free day, my ass, the Argao assignment (on top of another one in Naga City), which i thought was only good for a few hours, consumed my entire day. It was Valentine's day yesterday, everyone and almost everything in Argao made sure that I knew it. Text messages from friends, people carrying red roses and hearts, and greetings from people I met there were glaring reminders that it was hearts day (uhm, who says I'm trying to forget it???). Okay. And when you're Valentine-less, like myself, the occasion just comes and goes without you. And seriously, it does not matter at all. For the record, I don't like hearts or any heart-shaped things, and flowers. Just chocolates, hahaha...

It was nighttime already when I finally made it back home, and just before I could lay my aching back on my bed, a friend invited me over to this place. The very place where i passed by just an hour ago. Man, where is your sense of timing? Hahah...Okay, I don't have intentions to go out that day anyway. With my bone-tired body, bed is just the only place I'd rather be in. My bed. Then another text message came, this time from a close friend, inviting me to come over to this place because she was tired at home, and she wanted to breathe. I gathered her parents just had a fight that day, a Valentine's day of all the days! I really hate it when this friend worries a lot about her fighter parents. Ggrr, I know her mom loves her father, and vice versa, but I just don't understand it that amid all the love they have in their home these two still emotionally abuse one another. Is that part of loving too? Because it if is, I'll be glad if I'm completely taken out from the marriage list. Lol! So my reply to her: “Magminyo gani ta, simbako, di ta mag-ingun ana hap!”

The final text message for the day was from a workmate/friend which says: “Hey, (insert nick here)! According to friendster it's ur bday 2day. Is ths true?”

Nasad??? lol!

And my reply: “Mao ba? C frnster jud, wa ko kbaw ana da. Aku gift ha? ;-) But the idiot that is me, nangutana sad tawon: “birthday diay ron nako???” Sa huna-huna ra nuon. hehehe...

And guess what, it worked. The latest victim's message read: “Hahaha..I owe u a cup of cappuccino. :)”

Yay!

Ana lang! Hahahah...

And then Valentine's was over. Just like that.
