waterworld

as i sing the chorus of my band's latest single, one of the girls in front of the stage jumped up and grabbed the fringes of my leather pants. my god! i almost fell off the stage. luckily the crowd control dude saved me. whew! it really was a manic thursday night. the air was so thick you could slice it with a knife. and man, was i tense! the crowd was going wild when they heard the intro of our top-charter. ah.. the life of a rockstar. but it ain't always pretty after the show. after being drowned by booze, smoked alive by your own bandmate's cigars, jelly-legged because of a night of pumping and gyration. when suddenly...

andro! gumising ka na. tulungan mo kami sa baba. tumaas na yung baha. malapit na pumasok sa bahay!
nanay naman!

man! that's one way to spoil a nice, deep sleep...

well, i really have no choice but to get up and help them. it's all because of the perfect location of our house. south china sea 300m-west, zapote river 250m-south. combine that location with heavy downpour of rain and the 3-in-the-morning high-tide, instant waterworld! i wish i grew gills... sheeez!



after two hours of evacuating the lower part of our house (yup, lifting the not-so-mini components, 2 huge refs, 2 sofa sets, a heavy-assed tv, tons of receipts and papers, boxes galore with unknown contents, name it!) , a major slip which made me fall chest and face first from the wet, sludgy floor, i finally got my well-deserved (really needed) continuation of my dream.

alas! it wasn't the same dream!! where's a dream-catcher when i need one?!
