When that thing bows down

Makati




I had gotten used to listening to 89.9 when driving to work these days.  I find that I enjoy Mo's lambasting callers when the latter tries to argue with him.  Today was one of those days and I had my share of sole laughter when the caller tried to reason out that despite her age of 39, she still looked or apparently been mistaken to look much younger!


Mo: "Yah, yah, yah.  You say that to yourself but be real, you are 39! Not 28, 39!  You are one of those ladies who are smart and pretend to be dumb! and that's why you remain not married still!"


Ouch.  How blatant yet I find joy in it (saddist! hahahaha)


Then Mo entertained another caller (I forgot who his partner dj was, but kevs hehehe) who had husky bedroom voice (glee!! hehehe):


Caller: "Mo, have you been .."


Mo (cuts-off) : "Man, you're gay!" (hahaha!)


C (continues still) : " … in a situation where you are so into the girl, that you really like the girl, and when that time comes and you see her naked.." (hesitates)


Mo (presses) : "Then??" 


C : ".. then your thing fails you!"



Gahd! He sound depressed! 


C (continues): "I mean, I really really like her, but it just didn't stand up! Is there something wrong with me?"


Mo: "No.  It's the anxiety and excitement that's taking place.  You have been longing to do her and all that excitement and anxiety made that happen"


Very frank.


C (defensive): "I mean, I've done it before with other girls, and my intention was purely that, but this girl, whom I like, it failed me"


Mo :" Don't worry, it's natural for it to happen.  Give it 5x max, and if it still doesn't work up, then consult a doctor, man!"


Hmmmmm.. this made me think.  A lot! hahaha


This happened to me before.  I came from work late and met up with this guy I used to like.  He had been so horny, but I was tired but, but, but because I really really liked him, I didn't want to disappoint him.. and no matter how much he s*cked me, it just didn't pay attention!!  It was embarrassing and the thing that I feared most, of disappointing him, disappointed me! hahahahahaha  To this day, it haunted me until now!


Thank goodness, Mo reassured me that it was ok.  It was ok until the fifth time! Toink! hahahahaha


Finally, I was able to laugh.  I'm alive again! :)

Had to drop by my fave resto before I fly back to reality.

Brian's Baby Back Ribs (Php189)

My bro said it's cheaper at their original place across Velez Hospital at Php130 something.  I say the cost of gas would probably compensate for the difference in Ayala.  Mind you, this was at Php85 way back 4 or 5 years ago when I was still based in Cebu.  Humongous and the sauce!  You would just have to drool over the sauce!


My bro ordered the Dax (?) which was their steak.  He had it well-done and it had shrimps to compliment the dish.  Not bad.  Set off at Php250.  Not bad indeed for a steak.

Death by Chocolate (Php125)

Finished off with this dessert.  It's crisp outer layer coupled with the ice cream and marshmallows in it is to die for.  I guess this is why they called it such.  This used to be around Php50 before!! How times have changed.


Cebu.  Should I go back?  Hay.

My Mama

3.13PM
Cebu



No one can argue that I am, and will always be a Mama's Boy.


A week ago, and around this time, I received a frantic call from my mama's assistant at the hospital.


'Dong, uli dong.  Nag seizure imo mama'


I immediately called my bro to drop everything he was doing and proceed to Chong Hua.  A doktora friend called me up to immediately book a flight to Cebu because mama didn't look good.  I asked what happened.  The operation seemed to be ok and she was about to be discharged that day.  It seems that the doctors did not have a clue why she is having a seizure and they were doing everything they can to help my mama..


I hurriedly booked a flight to Cebu for the following day, 4.30am, Cebu Pacific.


4pm passed. 5pm passed til 6pm.  I was attending a meeting but my mind was elsewhere.  I received a missed call from my bro and made a returned call, but he didn't take it.  I was worried, very worried.  My mama was having difficulties and I was no where in sight to comfort and ease her pain..


7pm.  I received a text message from my bro.  My mama was undergoing cardiac arrest.  I cried.


I couldn't bear the idea of losing my mama.  She is the only reason why I go back to Cebu. She is the only reason why I strive hard to achieve whatever it is that I have accomplished.  I wanted my mama to be proud of me.


My doctor-cousin called me.  It seems that my mama was no longer responsive to the dosage that they were injecting her.  I asked if she was still breathing, she was but it will take a miracle for her to recover.  My tears kept flowing.  My world fell apart when he said that.


I hurriedly drove (with Fernan accompanying me, which I am grateful for) to find some church, any church so I could pray.  Every church we went (Don Bosco, and the one in Pasay) were closed.  I was losing hope.  Then Ferns suggested Baclaran.  Yes.  It was Wednesday, and Baclaran would be open til the wee hours of the morning.  I held on to the tiny glimmer of hope.


On the way, I requested my bro to have her mobile to her ears so I could talk with her.  I could only hear breathing from the respirator.  Please hold on mama.  Uli nako ugma, huwata nalang ko kay I want to hug you and comfort you that everything will be ok and that I am there already.  I love my mama so much..


In Baclaran, I prayed to all the angels and saints who would hear me.  I cried and didn't care if people would stare at me.  I just want my mama to live.  I was already desperate.


But my prayers were not heeded.


I received a text message from a cousin.  Condolence.  


My world shattered and I broke down at my place.  Alone.


She died 9.18pm.  No one dared told me.  My bro hesitated and told me around 12mn.  People were already calling me but I didn't answer.  How can I?  When the only person that I love and unconditionally loved me in return was gone?  It broke my heart.


My ambition drove me to Manila and it is that ambition that I now loathe.  


I was not there when my mama passed away.  I was in some stupid place, living an independent life.  But in truth, I am still dependent on my mama.  She was my everything.


Everything is surreal here in Cebu.  The empty house.  I was half expecting my mama to appear out of thin air, smile and comfortingly ask unsa ako sud.an nahan kan.on?  I would then eagerly request her to cook for me my favorite, linat.an na baboy, ma..


..


My aunties, my cousins, my friends, my mom's officemates keep telling me everything will be alright.  They expect me to be strong.. but I can't.  I have lost my pillar of strength for me to thrive on.


I am lost.
