notes of a sleepwalker (2)
11:45 of the following night
jollibee mango
after my usual lunch, same thing (i love how the rice is cooked!), i went out of jollibee. then there was this girl again with her sampaguitas, this time she was outside the resto. for the first time, she offered me her goods. so gave her P5 for one of those. but she refused my money saying each was P20. i laughed. are you kidding me?? last time i bought one like that, it was only P5. and that was like a few weeks ago. crisis too??? she insisted it was for P20. and since i didn't have extra cash for that, and i felt like she was playing tricks on me, i just gave her my P5 and walked away. but she followed and gave me one of her sampaguitas instead. and when i still refused to take it, she put it in my pocket. i laughed hard. god, she is an amazing kid. i will miss her.

jollibee mango. im having one of my late lunches here. today, i'm having burger steak with "sagbot" as sidedish. i like the rice a lot. i'll probably have another one tomorrow. he-he.
i'm at a corner, fave spot, nearest to the glass wall. just about a meter from me is a girl. cute one. i always see her when i'm here. 5 years old, or older. i dunno. btw, she's selling sampaguita. i think shes the same girl who sold us, i was with four others, a month ago or so, while we were eating larang (and some other street food) near robi.
anyway, she's clean. so not like the typical kids in the streets. i once saw her, during my other visits at this resto, wearing a pair of clean rubber shoes. today, she is wearing a pair of topsiders, with raffled socks (however you call them) in them. it's already late and shes still there. wherever her mom is..
and oh, she's not begging. she may look at me from time to time. but she never extends a hand to me, to beg. but if she ever does, i'm actually prepared to buy her the same food i'm eating. just 39. i'm nice today. he-he. but she never does. it's almost 12, and i'm out.
