The Tormented Princess

Face the Truth...

My life is brilliant.
My life is brilliant.
My love is pure.
I saw an angel.
Of that I'm sure.
She smiled at me on the subway.
She was with another man.
But I won't lose no sleep on that,
'Cause I've got a plan.

You're beautiful.
You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.

Yeah, she caught my eye,
As we walked on by.
She could see from my face that I was,
Fucking high,
And I don't think that I'll see her again,
But we shared a moment that will last till the end.

You're beautiful.
You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.

You're beautiful.
You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
There must be an angel with a smile on her face,
When she thought up that I should be with you.
But it's time to face the truth,
I will never be with you.

Blogger: (nagugutom...malapit nang matapos ang shift subalit ngayun palang magbe-break...lumabas sa may starbucks 2..narinig ang malungkot na kanta...) Tsk..kain nga ako...para marinig ko yung buong kanta. (bumili ng chicken mami)

(habang nag-aantay...natanaw sina MAFO at Phantom na nag-uusap sa may mga upuan sa may harap ng girl's quarters)

Blogger: Naks! Ano kayang pinag-uusapan nila? (dali-daling kinuha ang chicken mami at pasimpleng lumapitsa dalawa. Naghanap ng upuan para tamang-tama ang view sa dalawa...para may pinapanood na teleserye habang may mainit na maming kinakain) (subalit bago makaupo ay tumayo si MAFO at pumasok na sa opisina)

Blogger: (upo sa tabi ni Phantom) O, problem nun?
Phantom: (kibit balikat) I just told him na pumasok na siya. Kawawa naman agents niya...walang support.
Blogger: Ahhh...ok. So, musta naman ang "friendship" niyo? (snicker, snicker)
Phantom: It's ok. We are friends.
Blogger: I see.. (kain ng mami...chalap-chalap...) Will you not consider his suit? (subo ulit ng mami...hay heaven...ng biglang...EEEWW! Ang pait ng buto ng kalamansi! Blech!!!)

Phantom: There's is nothing to consider. He is not courting.
Blogger: Really? Could've fooled me. (ini-inspeksyon ang mami...baka may mga nagtatago pang buto ng kalamansi...nag-aantay para makain at masira ang appetite ko)

Blogger: Eh anong gagawin mo pag nanligaw siya?
Phantom: Nothing.
Blogger: Why not? I mean...don't you find him mentally stimulating? He's not afraid to speak his mind. He has no fear of rules...he breaks them for the shear (ay..sheer gayam --- sorry, tao lang) pleasure of just breaking them. He's also not afraid to let the whole damned office know of his feelings for you. He also calls you even if both of you are in the office. He even texts you like there's no tomorrow!

Phantom: Yeah...he's all that.
Blogger: So what are you waiting for? You can make this friendship become something more if you want to.
Phantom: I think he would not like that. He's afraid that the ideal girl in his head would crumble once the faults would surface...besides...the friendship could be nothing more than a platonic relationship.

Blogger: Oh, yeah...'coz you've already found your Superman?
Phantom: Exactly. (sigh) I fear that with all my Superman's faults, with everything that he is not and everything that he is ...no matter who comes along...no matter how perfect that someone is for me...I would still choose to stay by my Superman's side.

Blogger: (sweatdrop) Lord...you're reading too many sappy novels. Mag chicken mami nalang tayo.

D' ENCOUNTER

Napadaan ako isang araw sa may teritoryo ng Kapamilya Network. Hindi ko mapigilang isipin kung ano kayang ginagawa ko na ngayun pag ako'y Kapamilya parin.

Nakita kong maraming mukha na ang bago...ano na nga bang wave ngayun? Wave 100? Packsyet...last na hinawakan kong Nesting wave eh Wave 80.

Nakakamiss...

Pabalik na sana ako sa bakod na aking kinabibilangan ng biglang maharang ang aking dinaraanan...

Alien: Coach! Ang tagal na kitang di nakikita ah.

Blogger: Honga...musta ang Kapamilya network?

Alien: Hayun...sobrang stress. Kala mo wala ng bukas pag nag-co-calls kami. Lagi nalang suspended ang breaks! Tapos, pag magpapabreak sila...isa-isa lang daw. Eh tapos na yung siyam na oras na shift namin...di pa nakakabreak ang lahat! Anong klase naman daw yan?

Blogger: Ahahaha...asteeeg. Carry lang yan. Sabi nga nila...only the toughest survive.

Alien: Coach, anu bago sayo ngayun?

Blogger: Errr...

Alien: Nabalitaan mo na ba na nakitang nag-gro-grocery si Lola Churva at si Lolo Chenelin na magkasama sa SM?

Blogger: Talaga? (napaisip) Baka naman may party lang sila...normal lang yun.

Alien: Sus! Kailangan pa bang magholding hands?

Blogger: Nyah???

Alien: Nakarating rin ba sa inyo jan sa kabilang bakod yung tungkol kay Miss Chukchak?

Blogger: Ha? Bakit?

Alien: TSK! Wala ng makakatalo sa kahabaan ng hair niya!

Blogger: Talaga? Bakit naman? Nakaka-suspense ka naman eh.

Alien: Hay Lord! Eh pano, ang tatlong muskitero ay nahuhumaling daw sa kagandahan niya! Tsk! Mahilig talaga sila sa exotic.

Blogger: Uy, gagu...bad yan.

Alien: Ikaw kasi coach eh...lilipat-lipat ka...nahuhuli ka na tuloy sa mga maiinit na balita.

Blogger: Ahahahah.... i-update mo nalang ako every now and then. Mukhang kahit sang account naman ako mapunta eh meron ka namang magsasabi sa akin ng mga pangyayari.

Alien: Tsk! Ako pah!

Mr. Afraid to be Figured Out

Blogger: (nagbabasa ng email...delete: "i love hairy men"; delete: "I'm too sexy for my bodeh...") Packsyet.Kaya laging "inbox is full" ako eh.

Mr. Afraid to be Figured Out: (biglang sumulpot) Hey, check it out... (masyadong mahaba ang code name...MAFO for short nalang...kakatamad mag type eh)

Blogger: Check out what?

MAFO: It's the new girl...

Blogger: Hmmm? (sabay tingin sa entrance...) So?

MAFO: Ala lang...intriguing.

Blogger: (kibit balikat) She does not strike me as "special".

MAFO: Pero look at her...she looks...lost.

Blogger: Normal lang yun. Bagong salta eh. In time, she'll show her horns.

(Pagkalipas ng ilang araw...)

MAFO: Nakausap ko na siya.

Blogger: (nagdedelete na naman ng mga sensible emails...isssh!)

MAFO: Oi! Narinig mo ba ako...makinig ka! Tama na yan...pretending to be busy ka na naman eh.

Blogger: (buntong hininga) Nakikinig ako. So, anong pinag-usapan niyo?

MAFO: La lang. Nothing in particular...pero feeling ko, smart siya. Tapos asteeeg ng ngiti niya. I think her smile even stopped me on my tracks a while ago...

Blogger: (taas ng kilay) Do I smell rampaging hormones?

MAFO: (sumingkit ang mga mata) Ganyan ka ba talaga? Tsk-tsk. You're really jaded already.

Blogger: (kibit balikat...sabay balik sa pagbabasa ng mga emails....delete: "Anyone seen my headset? This is the code number...."....delete: "Clinic Food Fair"....delete: "These are the following incentives for July..." --- OOPS, wait lang...incentives yun ah...masilip nga...baka andun ang pangalan ko)

(Pagkalipas ng isang buwan...)

MAFO: Nakakatuwa siya! Ang weird niyang tao.

Blogger: Weird? Meaning?

MAFO: Meaning she's not the usual empty head. Smart siya. Tapos she also has a unique sense of humor. Tapos ang charming pa niya! O diba? Ang cool!

Blogger: (subo ng toknene) OMG...you're inlove?

MAFO: (kunyari shocked ang expression ng mukha) Ano bang pinagsasabi mo jan? I'm merely admiring her qualities.

Blogger: (kunyari naniniwala sa sinasabi ng kausap) Ahhhh...ok. (subo ng toknene) Sige, whatever you say, dude.

MAFO: Pero it's really amusing...to think na magkaharap pa stations namin. Minsan nakakadistract.

Blogger: (blink) (blink)

(Pagkalipas ng isa pang buwan...)

MAFO: Nakakainis siya! She's so manhed!!! As in hardcore manhed!!!

Blogger: (gumagawa ng SKEP...naks...) Ha? Who?

MAFO: Halerrr!! As if naman...sino pa ba? Eh di si Phantom.

Blogger: Ba't naman siya naging manhid?

MAFO: I'm practically worshipping the ground she walks on.

Blogger: (natigil sandali sa pagtype) Dude, that's sounded so gay.

MAFO: I literally look at her with stars in my eyes!

Blogger: (hinga ng malalim...pinipigilan ang pagtawa para di naman ma-hurt ang kaibigan)

MAFO: Her agents and even my agents are even hinting that I like her pero walang epek sa kanya!!

Blogger: Pare, may syota ka...may nobyo din siya. How would you want her to react? Fall for your charms and cheat on her boyfriend like what your ex did to you?

MAFO: That line of thought is way tooooo advanced from what I have in mind. And...that comment is uncalled for.

Blogger: Sus...baka naman ngayung final na ang decision ni Strawberry Jam na magpakasal kay Chocolate Bread...eh naghahanap ka lang ng mapagbabalingan ng thwarted love mo?

MAFO: Hay Lord...help me...no one understands.

(Ngayung buwan na ito...)

MAFO: (panicked look) Alam na niya...God! She knows that she's the Phantom in my life!

Blogger: Hmmm...well, hindi na yan nakakapagtaka. To think na halos buong Kapuso network ang nakakaalam...she's bound to hear it sooner or later.

MAFO: Anung gagawin ko?

Blogger: Is she creeped out?

MAFO: I dunno...maybe.

Blogger: Is she still talking to you?

MAFO: Uhhh...yeah.

Blogger: Eh di hayaan mo na. Atleast she's mature enough na not make a big deal out of it.

MAFO: It's a big deal to me! It felt so awkward!

Blogger: Uhuh...yes well....live with it.

THE THIEF

Phantom - her side of the story

Phantom: Sino yun?
Blogger: (heto ulit...nagbabasa ng email) Alin?
Phantom: Yung maingay...yung ang lakas lakas magtagalog...eh naturingang EOP ang office.
Blogger: (tingin sa may bandang MOD) Ahhh...si MAFO yun.
Phantom: MAFO?
Blogger: Uu...ganyan talaga yan. Feeling above the rules.
Phantom: Ganun?
Blogger: Yep.

(After ilang araw...)

Blogger: (nasa akmang pagsubo ng pancit ng biglang...)
Phantom: Aaarrrrgh!!! Nakakainis! Ang asshole ng customer! Ganito ba talaga mga customers dito? Haaayzzz. Para sa isang dolyar lang nagsisigaw na? Packsyet!
Blogger: (ibinaba ang tinidor...sabay protesta naman ang tiyan: "Huuuuwaaaaagg....ang panciiiiit....huhuhuhuh") Oo ganun talaga. Masanay ka na.
Phantom: Haaay...may callback pa ako para kay OM.
Blogger: (takam na takam nang kainin ang pancit...subalit ayaw ng istorbo sa pagsubo kaya pilit tinutuon ang pansin sa kausap) Tier 3 escalation? Bigay mo kay MAFO. Expert yun sa mga asshole customers.
Phantom: Really? Ahahaha...well, I think it would make sense. Only an ass could understand another ass.
Blogger: Tumpak ka diyan.
Phantom: Pero nakakahiya naman sa kanya. May sarili din siyang escalations.
Blogger: Sus! As if naman...eh ngitian mo nga lang yun eh pumapayag na siya sa kung anu man ang sabihin mo. Ok lang yun!
Phantom: Nge? Ganun ba talaga yun kabait?
Blogger: Errrr....
Phantom: Baka naman may ibang meaning yung kabaitan niya. It's just weird.
Blogger: (kunyari busy na sinusuri ang mga kuko) Imahinasyon mo lang yun.
Phantom: Siguro nga...and besides...I heard na he's head over heels Strawberry Jam.
Blogger: Yeah.

(Pagkalipas ng isang buwan....)

Phantom: He's really weird.
Blogger: (parang deja vu...) Weird? Meaning?
Phantom: Well...alam mo yung tipong hindi siya usual male. Mahilig siyang magbasa ng books. Tapos he is somewhat in touch with his eccentric side. Yung tipong...you know...he talks about stuff na only girls would often think of.
Blogger: Nyah??!? What are you saying? You think he's gay?
Phantom: Di naman. Tipong pwede mo siyang kausapin tungkol sa mga theories... psychology crap and all.
Blogger: Ahhhh...oo...weird nga.


(Pagkalipas ng isa pang buwan...)

Blogger: Wala ka bang napapansin kay MAFO?
Phantom: Like? Ano naman?
Blogger: He acts weird around you.
Phantom: Di ba nga...we've already establish that fact.
Blogger: Feeling ko gusto ka niya.
Phantom: (humigop ng kape...) (sabay tawa) Yeah right!
Blogger: You don't think so?
Phantom: LORD! No I don't think so...at the least...he's just amused and intrigued with me kasi I'm the new guy here.
Blogger: Ahhh...ok. Kung sabagay, may point ka.


(ngayung buwan na ito....)

Phantom: He likes me!??
Blogger: (no comment)
Phantom: Pano naman daw yun?
Blogger: Errrr...
Phantom: Maybe he just thinks he likes me...
Blogger: Well...
Phantom: Hayzzz...or maybe this is just one of his jokes. Siguro may pustahan sila nila T-Rex at Red Sky.
Blogger: Pwede rin naman.
Phantom: Mga packsyet sila. Ako pang nagawang pagtripan.
Blogger: Uuhhmm....
Phantom: May kinalaman ka ba dito? Did you know about this?
Blogger: Huh??! Ako??! Di ah! Wala akong kaalam-alam juan. Di nga kami nag-uusap eh...
