Three's Company

Elma, Than-than, and I met for a chat last Sunday. It wasn't supposed to be that way since the plan was for the barkada to get together before Oliver leaves the country. But most of them couldn't make it even the guest of honor! So I asked the two if they'd still like to meet in SM North and they agreed. What was unexpected about it was that Elma and I were without our plus ones. Jay didn't go and Biboy couldn't make it. It has been a long time since we got together "alone".

Than-than arrived almost fours hours late! He had a sudden rendezvous with someone he met at a baptism reception earlier that day. With words like, "Pagbigyan mo na ko. Matagal ng tigang ang lola mo," how could I resist letting him do it?

Elma and I just pass the time chatting about anything particularly our family lives and dreams for the future. We haven't been together for almost four months now. So there was really a lot to talk about. What is best between us is even if we haven't spoken for ages, we talked as if it was yesterday when we last spoke.

At around past 9, we went to Coffee Experience to continue the chat and wait for Than-than. He arrived at around 10.

Here are some excerpts of our conversation, at random posting:

T: Nakalimang round kami! Baka raw kasi di na maulit! Siyet, feeling ko magkaka-dyowa ako bago matapos ang taon!
J: Gaga! Libog lang 'yun!
E: Hanggang ngayon naniniwala ka pa sa love at first sight?!
T: Kala ko ba mga kaibigan ko kayo?

***

E: Ang tindi naman ng reminder na 'to! (showing the pack of cigarettes) Dati, "Smoking is dangerous to your health" lang ngayon "Smoking kills" na! Ayoko na nga! (putting the pack down)

***

Talking about lovemaking at home...
E: Hirap tsumempo sa bahay. Minsan nagigising si Faye tapos tatanungin n'ya, "Anong ginagawa n'yo?" Minsan naman kapag napansin niyang naka-panty lang ako, sasabihin niyang "Mommy, mag-shorts ka! Kita ni daddy pepe mo!"

***

Talking about Jay Manalo who visited Boardwalk's Party with Barako Boys...
E: Nagpabili siya ng kape tapos late dumating. Nagreklamo siya. Ba't daw malamig. Nagpabili uli. Sinagot nga siya nung staff namin, "E di ba kayo 'yung Barako Boys? Dapat kayo ang may dala ng kape!"

***

E: Kailan kaya tayo yayaman?
J: Ewan ko ba. Ang sa kin lang, kahit hindi yumaman basta lang may madudukot palagi. At hindi nagigipit...

***

T: Kaya pala ayaw mag-kiss kasi false teeth lang siya!

***

T: Sa Malabon kami. 'Yung PhP75 for 3 hours.
J: 'Yung hindi na pinapalitan ang bedsheet?
T: Pinapalitan naman. Well-ventilated pa nga 'yung loob kahit bentilador lang!
E: Bakit?
T: Kasi puro butas ung pader...

***

T: Di ka ba nagsasawa? Dapat naman minsan mag-kare-kare ka at 'wag puro adobo!
J: Mabuti na 'yung may adobo palagi kaysa naman para kang squatter! Minsan lang kumakain!
