The Movie in My Mind




SCENE: 2am, Caltex coffee shop in Imus, clear skies with stars
MOOD: Pensive, Twinkling, Sparkling
SOUNDTRACK: It Might Be You by Stephen Bishop
LINE: (Thought bubble) Could it be you who'd mend this broken heart of mine?

After some of the guys left, we stayed with the people from the other badminton team (who shall from now on be referred to as "They") at Bali till about 10pm. I was actually starting to get annoyed because They were influencing me not to go to rehearsals anymore at sumama na lang daw kami ni A sa bahay nina D for a round of karaoke. Ako ang kinukulit kasi ako daw ang susi sa pagsama ni A. Haha! Well, to cut a long story short, I didn't say YES nor did I say NO. Si A ang nagsabi na uuwi na kami dahil nga may practice ako.

Kasama namin sa kotse si El (who went down at Guadalupe) and J (who went down in Zapote). I was silent all throughout the trip because I was annoyed and was wishing that I had commuted home earlier. To top it off, the guys from the choir have been texting na nagalit daw yung choirmaster namin kasi hindi ako nagpaalam na ma-late ako or that hindi pala ako darating. Then A said that samahan daw nya ako sa rehearsals at kausapin daw nya ang choirmaster namin at sabihin na sya ang dahilan kaya ako late. Sabi ko, wag naman ganun. Ok na kako kasi maaga pina-dismiss yung rehearsals kasi medyo bad mood na ang choirmaster. When we reached the church at around 11:15, wala na nga tao. Then A asked if we could have coffee and talk, I guess to make up for what happened. I said ok.

We went to a Caltex station in front of Robinson's Imus kasi wala naman coffee shop sa Imus na open hanggang madaling araw. Maski yung Dunkin Donuts ay hindi na 24 hours. We got drinks from the convenience store and sat down. As usual, he paid for everything.

Ayun, we talked, and talked, and talked, and talked. Till about 2:30am. We jumped from a variety of topics such as badminton, tournaments, plans in life, past relationships, views on relationships, family, friends. I won't go into details na lang kasi some of the topics were really very personal. Suffice to say that we discovered a lot about each other last night. He showed a serious and pensive side that I thought was quite the opposite of the happy-go-lucky, makulit and maloko image he projects at Platinum. There were things about him that I liked, and things that I didn't like. But bottom line, A is a good person. Simpleng tao lang sya. Mabait, and hindi mayabang. And so unsure of himself. It was a far cry from the first impression that I had about him.

Do I like him? Yes, I do. I like being with him. And I guess it was obvious to P from the start kaya P voiced it out during our recent coffee session at Megamall.

Possibility na maging "kami"? Maybe. It's too early to tell. Complications about his present relationship status is making me doubt whether I want to jump into the foray or not. But on the other hand, he had relationship views that was very appealing to me. For now, I am enjoying the moment. Kasi it is also possible that he is just looking for someone to have a serious talk with. Someone who will relate to him on an intelligent level. No pretentions, no bullshit.
