discotheque

January 16, 2010

It was around 10 pm, and everybody seemed tired and eager to go home. One such passenger in the FX is a man wearing long sleeves and carrying that rectangular bag suited for medical travel.

I don’t know what it is that day, but all people lining to the FX looked gloomy, probably it’s the cold weather. I was so glad I could already sit and rest my tired eyes. If before I rode the FX everybody looked exhausted, inside, the driver seemed very lively; he was singing along the radio and laughing with the jokes of the wacky DJs (probably Nicolehiyala and Chris Tsuper). I, and maybe most regular passengers, can tolerate the sound and from time to time, even laugh at the jokes ourselves.

The man with the long sleeves can also bear the “noise,” but not the lights. The driver turned the FX into a discotheque! Frankly, the blinking lights with numerous colors are a bit unamiable to the eyes. I had to look away from the small disco ball in front of the FX. But the man cannot resist and said, “Can you please turn off the lights?”

The driver said, “Just close your eyes.” The smirk in my face almost seemed obvious. =)

Oo nga naman. Walang pakialamanan. Haha.

Us Xs and Ys

After weddings and wedding invitations, now comes christening or first-birthday invitations. Perhaps these years are really the time when my generation takes the cross-roads. Really, it’s kinda fascinating listening to your long-time friend, who used to be a punk goddess and your drinking buddy, talk about her pregnancy and her recent marriage. It’s wonderful seeing your child-like Spongebob-fan friend talk about taking care of her own child. Our generation is already matured or maturing, and I wonder where the years would take us. Rumors say that the good times are over. Then again, I’d like to believe, the best is yet to come…for all of us Xs and Ys.
