MIDSUMMER NIGHT
with TRIP by 6cyclemind
APRIL 27
I was hurrying to be on time and did not even attend the 10 am practice of hatha yoga at the center. I came to Fhau’s house at exactly 1:15pm and still early for everything.
Pagsikat ng umaga bigla na lang
Nag-iiba
Hindi mo ba napapansin?
Naghahanap na ng timpla
Nagmamasid ang mga mata
sa iyong kinalalagyan
ba’t di kaya tayo gumala,
trip mo bang sumama
Glads and Pauline were watching Animal Planet for some weird reasons while eating slices of chocolate cakes when I arrived. I suddenly feel nauseates. It was terribly hot outside, I’m feeling all dried up and to capped it all, my almost empty stomach starts to heat up inside. “I really have to compose myself”, I said silently. They (other relatives of Fhau) got my things and carried them to the van to be brought to the hotel. Glads and Pauline are still watching Animal Planet and I on the other hand, once again, and still trap on my own small corner world. Fhau gave me a slice of cake. I always thought that food serves more as a company for me rather than nourishment. It was around past three in the afternoon when Kanny, Jofel and John Paul arrived. The Exager82rs is complete, finally, so much for a call time. They practiced at the garage leaving me with the electric fan and the t.v. set! It was around four when they all decided to check out the venue.
Halika ating subukan
Tayo ngayon ay iisa
Ikaw at ako basta trip mo
Sama-sama tayo
It was Fhau’s debut and as a member of the Exager82rs, they get hold of themselves and practice not for the annual high school Megadance but for the debut. Damn, ok they remind me of my junior year. It was at that time when they bagged the grand price as the finest dancing people in high school, well except for the cheering team of course. Anyway, when we arrived at Teatrillo in Intramuros Eric Lam is already there. ERIC LAM: the owner of the lights and sounds / sound engineer that Fhau fancy! Damn, he is so CHINESE! Yes, not chinito but Chinese! Hahaha… I always looked up to Fhau when it comes to her standards of good looking guys, but this time I guess I have to really see for myself before agreeing. He looks like Joseph Yeo trapped in the body of Chito Miranda! Now that is really, really bad! Fhau what is going on with you??? Hahaha… then we went straight to the hotel while discussing how that eric become a comely fellow. I took a shower at the hotel, I think I needed it.
Chorus
Trip mo… trip ko
Kahit saan ka pa tutungo
Trip ko… trip mo
Walang iwanan, walang itatago
Trip mo bang sumakay sa paglalakbay?
It was eight when we hopped in the van to go back to Teatrillo. I saw Ryza (jr. classmate) and Jill (elem.friend) sitting already. Some familiar faces and then when I decided to come up, because the venue is a dungeon, I saw Jane, Micha with her mom and then Don! Of all, I miss Don! I have not seen Don for a year now, imagine that! I always see Jev, Don’s partner in crime. They are like Buddy and Sol; Louis and Clark; Jack and the beanstalk; bread and butter! They are inseparable! Don asked if Jev is invited, but no, he is not. Fhau and Jev are not that close anyways. In my barkada during my second year I was the flexible person aside from Fhau. I rather go with the weird people, yeah they are weird, they know! They are not bad weird though, those unusual eccentric fun people that goes to be the culmination of all school personality. They are the most real of all real looking people! I love them! And yes, after that the program started!
Sama-sama tayo, kahit saan pa mapadpad
Limutin ang kahapon bigayang
Halaga bukas at ngayon
Walang magkukubli
Sa ilalim ng buwan tayo ang hari
Fhau was wearing a sparkling tangerine gown with butterfly wings on her back. Did I mention that there are around more or less ten people with butterfly wings and then Don, just decided to wear an angel’s wings. Whatever! Hahaha… the whole evening was fun even if the video presentation was a little troublesome. Don, Jane and I even decided to go for another round of desserts. It was the chocolate fountain thing! When we went back in our seats the only thing left there were the breadsticks, all the fruits were gone.
Ikaw at ako, basta trip mo
sama-sama tayo
It was the lighting of the candles that really took me off. The original plan was not for the 18 candles to give any speech. But what the heck! I was planning to give a funny yet witty speech but because I was not able to guard myself with whatever might happen, when my long storytelling of the friendship is about to end I just broke down and cried. Damn, I was and still am emotional. I do not have any privileged of letting it out so if I really have the moment it just has to get out. Well, yeah… After that It was better and all. Micha, the host grabbed me and John Paul to the mic and start our own little pang-aaliw so just the people wont get the feeling of silence. Then the Exager82rs dance and the real dancing came to life. I haven’t really danced that long for a year now since the banning of parties in USTe.
Just like the old days when nobody cares as long as the lights are off, music is playing and hell those people that keeps on stepping on my feet. We went back to the hotel, then went home and at around three in the morning I was readying to get some sleep.
Limutin ang problema
Hanapin ang kasagutan
Ikaw at ako, basta trip mo
Sama-sama tayo
Kahit pa abutin tayo
Ng bagyo
