the boogeyman!

yesterday, i met up with margaux to attend what was supposed to be a youth rally for pope john paul II. what happened was there weren't any rally afterall. it was margaux's lack of attention to last sunday's mass that got me travelling amid the afternoon scorching sun to manila cathedral. the good thing was that we were able to sign the farewell book for the pope which will be read by the succeeding pope on his reign. cool eh!

we had two options that day, either to go to quiapo church and see whats going on there or go to sm to buy me a new mouse for my pc. we chose the latter, and ended up going to the movies. me and margx have always been like this...planning something out but completely doing the opposite.

the movie...THE BOOGEYMAN!

it says in the poster: "the no.1 movie in america" hmmm...sounds interesting we thought.

and it was! we were 30 minutes late because margx's childhood sweetheart called. i was losing my patience and told her to hurry up or ill puke to death over their mushy-doodle-dee.

i told the ticket lady for a deluxe seat, and she gave us the premiere. fine. so there we were inside the theater with margx's equally funnt comment on every scene. "shh!, tumahimik ka para pag sumigaw tayo damang-dama natin" i told her. and she shut herself up, but covered her eyes. i remember the time when i saw "feng shui", with tim and mrgx. tim was our buffer that's why he always seats between margx and i, coz me and margx has this habit of really getting into the movie. to continue, mrgx and i seated ourselves in the middle and the nearest pips seated was a row from behind us. immediately as the first frightening scene came, was as easy as our scream went. the lady behind us was laughing at our sillyness which to her boyfriend's chagrin did not at all find us amusing.

ano magagawa nyo? e dalawa kme matatakutin! beh!

we were screaming frantically on almost every scene, even those that aren't too frightening. we just enjoyed screaming thats it. thats what margx and i like, movies that makes you scream. at least it gave us a reason to scream at something other than each other (we argue alot!). and as typical as it may seem, after the movie we just sat there and said to each other..."that's it? tangna tinakot lang tayo...wala man lang spiritual upliftment or something".

well, its the number one movie in america though.

yeah it kinda figures.

anyway, here's the climax of our date. on our way home, margx again told me something that i didnt see coming. we were talking about being bitter and stuff

and she told me "how could you be so bitter when in fact you're eyeing for someone"
"im not eyeing for someone", i lied and defended myself.
"oh com'on, what's with not talking to me about this someone?"
"coz there's nothing to talk about"
"you're just afraid that i put a sentence over him, thats the reason. thats what you always blame me for"
"no thats not it"

maybe i was just too afraid thats all...i thought

and the argument was gone...puff like coco crunch!

i hate it when she sees right through me. im thinking now if i have been too transparent or she just knows me so well that she just can tell. while other people are having trouble guessing if im just keeping a front, she just swiftly goes into conclusion which usually hits me off my face. thats why tim chooses to talk to me prior to talking to margx about his usual depressive state. she has this knack on putting people on the edge, double thinking, and making drastic moves. unlike me whose too laid back and see-what-happens type of guy. and that made us click, were superbuds that we even finish each other's statements, laugh at our own jokes, get on each other's nerves, and together sentiments on life. tim was our superego. he neutralizes the two of us, and sometimes we switch places and neutralizes the both of them. they're both taurus and bull headed, that it sometimes hard for me to keep up with their tantrums. while ice (another superfriend) is my confidant. if happy-go-lucky has a face, it is her.

i have this feeling tim, margx, ice and i will be going places as friends. i have always imagined us under one roof, practicing our beloved profession, going into some rough times, getting into each others nerves, walking out, making up, having fun.
i never knew how much friends are worth until i met them.
