HAPPENINGS

Time must be the ultimate diva. And that being intangible, adds up to its heightened yet humble presence in a human's life. Time wanes and drains and siphons and gets you back from your downfall. And the biggest mistake is to waste the diva that is Time. I just don't know why people belittle such innate character.

Yesterday. I just wasted 8 of them. Including mine. So that's 9. I was ngarag for 5 days searching and questing for impossible guests for our new show. You get their numbers, contact them as much as possible through landlyn then contact them through cell phone, convince, praise, loathe, be interested in them and try to convince them again, ask them personal questions, laugh at them and thank them for being convinced. And that's only one. Some people agree to absent themselves from work and class just to entertain my invitation. I was mentally stressed since its on my mind and mouth for 5 days and I couldn't sleep because of it. Come taping day where everybody's dolled up for their 5 minutes of fame somebody calls that the taping is packed-up.

Teka lang...

I don't get it. I just don't fucking get it. This is not Math but i don't get it. How do i tell them that? i don't want to be the harrower of bad tidings. Somebody had to tell it. That somebody came after I had my speech that because of technical problems (the most cliche of all problems in production) they had to go home. She told it like she was just announcing a sunday school meeting. Our main host wanted to step down from his pedestal and personally apologize but he wasn't allowed to leave the studio.

This barbaric woman of the 40s with a starved sexlife and no atom of respect for Time called up and tried to bloat up her ego by demanding that I should be the one apologizing and explaining to them why the taping fucked up. Ha! Where is your face? Kung ang hair ng mga nililigawan ay umaabot hanggang Jolo. Ang face mo nasa Babuyan Islands. Ergo: Ang Kapal mo ning! Someone didn't do their homework and now I'm the one to be lashed out. Wala tayo sa soap opera at hindi ako si Judy Ann. Pakshet ka.

Well, me, being such a peaceful person with Medusa ways striked back. " Sorry ha, Hindi ko kaya sabihin eh". That plain but with full horse power.

The sumbat is all on me. Some of the guests value time to the extent that they would text me words apt for people who only value time. Shucks, as much as i don't want to be part of your what ifs and what could have been, but I am now a part of what is now.

And because of that my second love came back to comfort me---chocolate.

And comfort it did.
