aawayin ko lang naman daw kasi sya. kaya mas mabuti pang magbrownout na lang.

hay. =(

Anung oras na’y gising ka pa. Pilit mong nilalabanan ang antok at pagod dahil kauuwi mo lang galing trabaho. Buong sigla ka pa ring mangungulit at magtatanong kung anung nangyari sa araw ko. Araw-araw ganyan, araw-araw madami kang kwento. Araw-araw pagpatak ng alas-syete ng umaga dyan, alas-otso naman ng gabi dito, magkausap na tayo.

Pero iba ngayong araw na ito. Sobrang antok ka na, pero pinilit mo pa rin akong makausap. Aalis din naman kasi kayo ng nanay mo, kaya’t sabi mo’y di ka na matutulog. Oo, kausap kita habang ginagawa ko ang entry ko ngayon. Nangingiti ako habang pinapakinggan ang iyong paghilik. Sana’y andyan ako sa tabi mo ngayon. Sana’y yakap kita para mawala ang iyong pagod. Sana. Lagi na lang sana.

Ano kayang itsura mo ngayon ano? Nakaupo ka sa puting monoblock na hindi naman kumportable, pero nakatulog ka. Pagod na pagod ka nga talaga. Kagabi pa lang naman kasi sa trabaho’y nagrereklamo ka na sa email mo sa akin na antok ka na, na gusto mo nang umuwi.

Narinig kitang umungol, sabi mo’y ayaw mo nang umalis. Wag na nga siguro, matulog ka na lang mahal. Magpahinga. Baka isipin mo’y magagalit ako sayo, kasi unang beses na nangyaring makatulog ka habang kausap ako. Hindi ako galit. Masaya nga ako na kahit sobrang layo natin sa isa’t-isa, eh posible palang makatulugan mo ako. Gusto ko na tuloy na lalo kang makasama dahil alam kong mas ok na makatulog ka habang ako’y nasa tabi mo.

Tahimik na ang voice conference natin, maliban sa pasaglit-saglit na paghilik. Ang lakas mahal, hehe. Hindi na rin ako nagsasalita, hinihintay na lamang kitang maalimpungatan at sabihing lilipat ka na sa kama.

Baby? wala akong narinig na sagot. Tulog ka lang dyan mahal. Tulog ng mahimbing. =)

“Aakyat tayo dyan? Seryoso?” Yan na lamang ang natanong ko kay Arvin nang maisipan nyang umakyat sa napakahabang hagdan na yan sa La Mesa EcoPark. Hindi biro ang haba at taas ng nasabing hagdan, pero sabi ni Arvin, makikita daw namin sa itaas ang mismong La Mesa Dam, kaya pumayag na rin ako.

Nasa kalagitnaan pa lang ata kami ng pagakyat nang makita  namin ang dalawang matanda, isang babae at lalake na pababa na. Nakakahiya nga dahil habang kaming dalawa ni Arvin ay hingal na hingal sa pagakyat, ang dalawang matanda nama’y parang wala lang, hindi batid ang pagod, nagkukwentuhan pa. Madaya, dahil pababa na sila. Hehe.

Tumambay kami saglit ni Arvin sa itaas, para na rin magpahinga at syempre, magpicture taking. Mainit ang panahon pero di namin ito pinansin, dahil walang patid na kwentuhan, kulitan at kodakan ang nangyari. Nakita rin naman namin ang La Mesa Dam pero di kami nakalapit dahil may harang ang paligid ng dam. Pero natigilan din kami sa aming ginagawa, dahil may nakita kaming police mobile na tumigil sa tapat namin. Ang buong akala nami’y bababa ang pulis at paaalisin kami. Hehehehe. Pero di naman iyon nangyari dahil umalis na rin ang mobile matapos ang ilang minuto.

Napagdesisyunan na rin naming umalis na, bago pa bumalik ung pulis at para makapaglibot na sa buong park. Nga pala, hindi namin nakuhanan ng litrato ung mismong Dam dahil may nakalagay na karatula dun.

Hmmm, ito kaya ung dahilan kung bakit may pulis na tumigil sa tapat namin? Lagot pala kami kung nagkataon. Hehehe.

Ito ang aking lahok para sa ika-75 na linggo ng Litratong Pinoy na may temang Karatula. Ang litrato ay kinuhanan last year at dahil hindi namin mapicturan ang dam mismo, ung karatula na lang ang kinuhanan ni Arvin. Bisitahin ang  lahok ng iba pang miyembro dito.
