Vision

Had a vision last Tuesday.  It was about two angels and two demons.  The angels where all covered in white light, illuminating the dark night with their purity and beauty.  Whereas the demons, cowered in their dark corner salvaging every inch of darkness that they can. It was an awesome sight.  Wonderful to behold.

Actually, the boys and I went out with Gian again and this time she was sane enough to invite one of her friends.  That friend turned out to be one hot momma named Ava.  Had to brace my jaw as I figured it would be hanging loosely.  They were the angels and of course the guys were the demons.  

I actually had no plan to go out that night.  Work has become too demanding.  So demanding that it rivals having one sarcastic, precocious daughter and maybe even a wife.  Too bad you can’t have sex with work.  It would redeem itself splendidly if that were to happen. 

Anyway, was on my way home and as is always the case I get a text from one of the guys.  Such texting marathons are really quite heavy on the pocket as all our replies are copy furnished to the other guys.  Sort of like a conference.  Anyway, as is always my demeanor, I was trying to beg off which of course resulted in an avalanche of text messages with sarcasm, pleading, arguing as themes.   Finally, put my phone in silent as I really need to work that night.  

A little later on, Bella calls me while I was in the FX taxi.  Says she needs a 1/8 illustration board and a permanent marker for a school project.  No problem I thought to myself.  I’d just go down to SM Hypermart and buy the stuff there.  

So went and bought it and while paying I get a call from a client saying that my contract still has some revisions.  Disheartening really as I’m in such a hurry to close this deal already.   Leej, being a shareholder of the company, was the first to learn of the news from me.  

I was walking towards our street in Tiendesitas when I get another call.  This time from Chino.   Says, “Pare, sunod ka na dito, may revisions pa pala contract mo eh” (Translation Bro, since your contract still has some revisions then you might as well follow us here.)  So I said that I really had to work and that my deadlines won’t move even if the contract still has some revisions.  Then Chino goes “Well then if you change your mind, do follow.  We are here in Mondial near Silver City Mall.  

Did he just say Silver City Mall?  I was walking on the street adjacent to that place! I then turned my head and searched and voila!  There they were, drinking to their hearts content. I saw them, but they haven’t seen me yet.  So, I crossed the street  and surprised them. Hehehe.

So the plan was really to not stay long and just stay there long enough for them to get off my back.  I was actually still stressed out thinking of all the things I need to do.  It showed somewhat, cause I wasn’t my usual self and preferred to be silent and contemplative.  Then Ava arrived.  And all desire to leave and go home vanished.  I thought I died of stress and went to heaven.  Hahahaha!  Just kidding Ava! If you ever do get to read this, it was a pleasure to meet you. 

Got home 1am.  Went to the office by 6:30am with a terrible hangover and serious output deficit.  Popped a couple of ibuprofen tablets and worked the day away.  Thank God that day’s all gone!
