day 9: pangiturugan

September 12, 2008

hey daba!
   had a wierd dream last night, twas so vivid that it stuck in my head even after i woke up. not sure with other people but i usually forget most of my dreams the moment i wake up. i’m starting to worry im getting memory gaps this early. he3!
   the setting was in an apartment you and joy owned, or rented. strange because in my dream the place was in Legazpi. you and joy were preparing all your things getting ready to leave for abroad. then our college prof–remember Goldilocks?– came in standing by the door, with a smile she lifted her hand palm open asking if you could loan her some money. you had some for allowance, and to my surprise you lent her 18k! not only that, joy chipped in another 18k! i had a bad feeling about it, especially when you mentioned you only had 6k left as allowance. so Goldilocks was leaving, with all the money inside a paperbag (one used for padesal, the brown one–strange), she was just a few meters away when i caught her inconspicuously waving the bag, as if waiting for someone to come snatch it away. immediately i offered to accompany her with her leading the way.
   now here’s where this dream gets even stranger, someone was following us behind. Goldilocks’ waving of the bag and the stranger behind me made me think that they’re up to something. thought Goldilocks colluded with the stranger to snatch the bag from her so she wouldnt have to pay you, they’ll just part the money between them leaving both you and joy onto thinking that the money was snatched so she could run away with it (of course in real life she still has to pay). damn! never imagined it could be this long to narrate that one scene from a dream, in my dream all of it just took a brief moment from the time she came in to the moment i figured something was wrong. so i was following Goldilocks with the stranger behind me, the path was straight and to my surprise goldi took a turn to a nipa hut to her right (yes twas a nipa hut) which didnt make sense since there’s only one way and walking around the hut would just lead her back to the same path we were treading. that was when it hit me, i thought the actual snatching would happen the moment goldi reaches the walk way where the stranger was waiting for her, yes the stranger was behind me and all of a sudden waiting for goldi right in front of me, weird. again the narration was lenghty but it just took seconds he3!
   so what i did, genius as i was, clearly seeing what they were up to, was to wait for goldi to appear on the other side of the hut and then boom! snatched the bag from her and run home ha3! thought i’d rather snatch the money than have the stranger grab it first. the setting  was in Legazpi so seconds later i was home ha3! i asked dhen to call you and tell you i have the money, she lent me her laptop and i used it to call you, wierd, i grabbed the laptop placed it to my ear just like you would a cellphone and spoke with joy, she said you were out for a phone load and told me both of you half-expected it to happen and that everything was ok and that you were actually abroad already and then i realized you indeed were gone for Barcelona. and i woke up with that guilty feeling of having to snatch a bag from an old lady–ha3!–and of having experienced being a crook even just in a dream.
   end of story. so vivid huh? he3! 8:57 am here. may sahod na! yey! time to go home. ailah sun! dream of nothing but good dreams daba! ailah sun! juwalah!
