There are times when we wish we could just disappear maybe out of shame, or disgust, or probably because some of the things we think about appear too heavy a burden to bear. Most of the time however, we like to shout in our mind's voice.Hey! I'm over here! Talk to me, listen to what I say, see what I see, step on my shoes and feel what I feel (or at least recognize it anyway).
I accompanied a visiting friend to buy some groceries. It was a weekend and the aisles were jammed with shopping carts, wandering kids, and parents with shopping lists. While we were browsing near the fresh produce section, a friend of my friend happened to pass by. Uuuyy musta? (mwahugs na 5 mins siguro, 5 more and I might have invited the thought that they were lesbians) After their excruciatingly long greeting a barrage of questions fired away from the friend of a friend's mouth. (Ok, for simplicity's sake, let's call her J.)
"Sino siya?", "Ano gawa niya?", "Taga saan?", "Classmate mo?", " Aaah siya ba yung bestfriend na pinagpalit mo sa akin? (sabay tawa), atbp...). This exchange probably lasted a whopping 15 mins. The questions were simple enough but loaded with suppositions. If we were in a court I'd probably say, "Objection your honor, the prosecution is leading the witness." Maybe she should have given me a biodata form instead and just shut up, It would have been more convenient, less awkward, and my friend and I could have seen the opening credits of a movie rather than plopping on a side seat watching a guy chase another guy thinking, " WTF is happening?" besides, let me change that, MORE IMPORTANTLY, I was there the whole time. Couldn't she have addressed the questions directly to me? I was standing beside J and my friend but it felt like I was waiting on the sidelines watching some flick that was a mxture of comedy and drama with a dash of suspense (What is she going to say?) or horror (Why the hell are you disclosing that info? That was embarassing! ). I wished it were action ("Catfight! Sapakan na!") or Porn ("Hmmm. MFF Threesome o Girl on girl action."). I was a lamp post, let me change the metaphor, we were in a grocery---- I was a display shelf, wait a minute, display shelves get more action. I was a...condom... in the pharmaceutical section, people were ashamed to ask for one but love to talk about the numerous flavors and textures produced.
They could have talked about anything, the weather, boys, traffic, boys, environmental issues, boys and I could have cared less but if it was something regarding me, wouldn't it be easier if she went straight to the source who was a few inches away?

^ going out with a bang? i heard stories of a childhood neighbor's grandfather going out with a bang. they had to take him out from a whorehouse, he still had an erection complicated with the rigor mortis. people were telling me kanto stories that the pants had a bulge in the coffin. i don't want him to like that, think he's got dignity still. lollers

^roflmao.
senorito, she's not asking you directly coz she doesn't know you yet, 'di pa kayo close. and maybe she's thinking it'd be more rude if she and your friend talk about you behind your back. lollerz!

@darth - erection complicated with rigor mortis? - better than a bullet and it redefines the phrase. "going out with a bang"
@sai - kotse mo na naman? nasunod mo ba sabi ko na negative muna alisin bago positive tapos opposite ang pagbalik?. Gulong naman problema mo?

@ sai - senorito? sorry, ngayon ko lang nabasa. haha mahirap mag multitask ngayon. I don't care if I just met her, if the questions are about me wouldn't it be proper to talk to me directly? It's not like we were on a date, all I wanted from the fresh produce section was a container of cherry tomatoes and my friend meeting up with her friend was a random event, a coincidence, an AOG.
@pek2 - nice to hear from you, man
