road trip tuesday.

monday night was hectic in a oddly out-of-place way. sure i was not in the best frame of mind, just coming from a weekend outing that same morning. still, i found myself helping agents answer a lot of rather challenging questions which kept me busy for most of the night. i decided to leave the office at 8. on the way home i was exchanging messages with len regarding a favor i asked two days before. i did not expect her to be out of town, and i very much needed to borrow something. so lacking sleep, i went to molino to meet up with her. molino is about 2.5 hours from my place, all in all, in a flattened area of bacoor; and it was freaking hot going there. i snoozed in the van i rode and ended up missing my stop, so i had to go back again. len and i met in the local mall, and the airconditioning was a wonderful gift from the gods of cavite. i stayed until mid-afternoon, the sun bearing down on molino like a jilted ex-girlfriend. it took me 15 minutes to get a ride back to manila, and i could feel skin cancer wrapping around my exposed skin. finally i got a ride and amused myself reading about the musings of a man who tried to be a drag queen for a day. when i arrived in makati, some friends might have sensed my presence and asked where i was. i permitted an appearance, and they promptly whisked me to another friend's dad's wake. the deceased was 90 when he passed away; he must have lived a really rich life. hardly having any sleep, i excused myself at 7 to drag myself to ortigas for work. somehow, it was surreal but logical that i learn of patrick swayze's passing as soon as i went online. i should go home and sleep.
