one sweet day!
there are days like this.
you woke up one morning and found out that the camera that had been with you for ages was gone, along with some cash. while it's true that you had, a long time ago, learned to let go of things, that camera was precious. it had chronicled the various stages of your life, preserved the happy faces of your family, friends, lovers and strangers. of places that you have learned to love and cherish. in fact, you had given away most of your things, but that camera had stayed with you. it was one of the first things that you bought when you moved to a new city several years ago.
then the cash. why now when your financial situation is in a very precarious condition? in fact, you had learned to shy away from malls (one of your favourite hobbies) to avoid the unnecessary spending just to save some cash because god knows how long this job drought will last. you had also turned down several invitations that could lead to expensive dinners and drinks.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
but instead of being miserable, you just wished that the one who took them would use the money wisely and take care of the camera.
instead of cursing heavens, you told god or whoever is up there to just make it up to you in some ways and to please put a smile on your face.
************
(you were even amazed at how lightly you took this. is this another sign of maturity? you hope.)
&&&&&&&&&
so you decided to go to church. maybe this was god's way of reminding you that she missed you. you took a quick shower and put on shorts, shirt and sneakers. you hailed a cab. unfortunately, the taxi had the overpowering smell of body odour. you almost puked. instead of getting off, you sprayed perfume all over it. when it did not work, you opened the windows.
luckily, there was no traffic and after fifteen minutes, you were at the church. so goodbye smelly cab.
***********
the church was crowded and sweltering. a couple and their five children sat beside you. the kids were noisy, unruly, misbehaving. brats, you thought. you almost walked out because you can't concentrate on the mass or on your prayers. kids. why do parents insist on bringing their children along to the church? what's the point of going to the mass when they will just spend the whole time that they are inside the church scolding the kids? keeping an eye on them?
in fact, what's the point of having kids?! at all!
&&&&&&&&
the homily was great. the priest, who is a foreigner, delivered it in filipino. all of it. in fact, the whole mass was in filipino. luvly!
he said:
"minsan sa pag-iisip natin sa ating mga problema, nalilimutan natin na may mga taong mas higit pa ang pasakit na dinadala. na katulad ni hesus, mas mabigat pa ang krus na kanilang dala dala."
after he delivered the homily, you wanted to give him a standing ovation and shout "vravo!", but you were scared that you might end up in the psychiatric ward.
(indeed when you crossed the street from the church to the restaurant, you saw a lot of beggars and homeless people wandering around, asking for money. you gave an old woman some cash.)
)))))))))))))))
so you made it to the end of the mass. despite the unruly, noisy kids beside you.
hungry, you decided to walk to the nearest restaurant. you wanted to order your favourite dish, but you remembered suddenly that with the money that you just lost, you could not afford it anymore. so you decided to just have the cheapest on the menu. which was also good.
then while you were eating, somebody was calling.
***********
yes, gorgeous young guy whom you've met a while ago was calling. you have already forgotten about him. he said he misplaced your calling card and found it just now.
wow! god indeed has a sense of humour.
after his call you couldn't help but smile.
he has a nice voice. while talking to him, his handsome face (to give you an idea how gorgeous he is, he looks like the one on the photo below) kept flashing on your mind like an unforgettable movie.
this convinced you further that god indeed is a woman. and a has a soft spot for gay men just like most of your friends who luv listening to your gay adventures. chos.
&&&&&&&&&&
his call and your favourite dessert, saba at langka con hielo (perfect for the oppressive heat) made the evening even better. at this point, you have forgotten all about the camera and the cash.
then later at night, your sister called to say that she and her family will be visiting you in the next few weeks. yes! you missed her beautiful kids.
(so let me take back my earlier statement. there is indeed a point for having kids. they brighten up a dreary day).
***********
so all in all, it's one sweet day!
have a great week ahead, fairies, ladies, pa-ladies, queens, pa-queens, princesses and wannabes.
