I sleep 12 midnight last night, and my chatmate was one of the ex-DJs in LS fm, Mike. I dunno his last name, just Mike! I was just shocked that he was my chatmate, then we talked more on our lives, our girls – her girlfriend who bought a Nine West bag with five digits as a price, and my girlfriend who prefers nothing but me. A big difference?
At first, I dunno how to talk to a guy in YM – seriously, one of my worse characters is insecurity, I’m such a stupid brag. Any man chatting to another man would feel uncomfortable, ayt? So he asked me first about my name, then he told me I invited him to join Friendster, I was kinda shocked because I don’t know him but he talks to me like we were childhood friends. I asked Gale about this ‘Mike’ guy, cause I dunno him yet. He had a status that was a quote of Exupery (not complete, I dunno the full name of that Exupery) and Gale is good in quotes. She knew it first than I, cause I have no idea about quotes. I am impressed with Gale and Mike, cause they both have the knowledge about quotes, and I can’t really relate to them.
I gave Gale the YM id of this Mike, and so she got it. Then Mike asked me if I hear LS always, and I kinda vision that he was related to LS, it’s just a premonition. Yeah he was, and I ‘m so happy to meet at least a DJ (or an ex-DJ) in my life, cause probably I’d chose that one as my career. Being a DJ is hard, because you need to connect to the audience, like the texts and the Radio Active Connection. He was trying to impress me, though I’m not totally impressed. Gale told me he was trying to impress her, but then she wasn’t impressed. “He was a brag, mayabang” as she told me. I just laughed about it.
Then it goes on and on, he lives in Cavite. He told me that Divisoria is a hell-bending stench. I got tons of learnings from him. The fact that I told “wuss” woud not make me a successful person, because you can’t replace was with wuss. He told me that chocolates would be a great gift for my girl, haha. He had this IPod also, and his cat barfed on it, thank God the UPS wasn’t affected – Merry Christmas to him. Haha.
Then we talked about our girls, he has 2 legal girlfriends, and the rest was History. I got 3 girlfriends, and four – uhh, “illegal”. He was quarreling with his “asawa – girlfriend nya”. His girl bought that Nine West bag with 5 digits, and I told him maybe his girlfriend bought it as a gift for herself. He laughed, and told me that most of the time they quarrel about money, because her girlfriend was very extravagant – not that very. When her girlfriend see sumthin’, she liked it, she would buy it, and do anything just to buy it. My girl is totally different, she was a shy-type, she would make you kneel in front of her and ask her what she like, and that’s the time she’d spill the beans. Damn her, pero ayos lang, nakaktipid naman ako – di magastos! Hehe.
He studies at UP, well, he told me it’s the best college for Mass Comm… that’s because it’s his school. Haha. I wasn’t that sure about my career though, I could switch it, I could change it. I have a lot of talents, and I’m not sure if one of these would make my life better. College life, as he said, is happier than High School – because you got to know new people, and new places and a whole lot of adventure. He told me also that media is a competition, and that when you are in mediocre, you could simply get out of the job – you know what I mean.
Manila is not a haven for all, it is a kingdom of the rich people, where rich people dwell and get happy while the contented has no place. Yeah, it is, Manila is a nightmare for poor people.
When the clock turns twelve, I decided to sleep, so I told him that “I gotta go.” We both thanked each other for that time, haha. At least, we both know each other a little.
