I’m today’s perfect prank

horoscope for today:

Today your sense of humor is in full force, and likely to be the most effective tool toward lighting up a tiny spark of romance in someone’s eye. So that means it’s a great day to flirt! Start a conversation with a funny observation and get the laughter flowing. There is nothing wrong with encouraging a flirtatious energy with a stranger, even — it’s only good fun, and as long as you don’t make any promises that you don’t intend to keep, it’s perfectly polite too.

i just got punk’d.

the other morning i woke up with an unusually heavy bladder. this wasn’t the usual ring i receive whenever nature calls as it was a bit of tingly, urgent, and somewhat momentous. so i had to pick myself up double the time only to find myself looking blankly at the door of the comfort room, closed and in the blank spaces where the door didn’t actually want to meet the door jam, orange light crept through. despite my drunken demeanor I didn’t find it hard to realize that my only refuge was the yard.

i greeted one of the trees with a warm and wet good morning. it was good for sure; urine is 95% water anyway plus I’m an advocate for giving something back to the earth.

when i walked my way back to my room so i could go back to la-la-land, the door was still shut and the light seemingly got a bit intense. it was weird for the fact that no noise whatsoever came from the inside, and fearing that somebody might have had too much to poo to the extent that the agony had nothing to produce but silence, i annoyingly knocked on the door and mumbled things i know i wouldnt remember – what can i do? i was half awake and half a sentence seemed too hard to achieve.

my stupidity struck me when i tried turning the knob in an attempt to hurry whoever was inside, but the knob gave way and i somehow realized the magic inside. as i was opening the door, the red-yellow light got brighter, and lo and behold, it was the mighty sun shining through that little window the comfort room uses to breathe – bathing the whole space with that divine-ish orange magnificence.

it was sufficiently astounding to make me realize how tricky things can get. although it wasn’t enough to completely wake me up, it was more than enough to remind me how tricky this world is, and that my instincts was nothing more than a blind guess and a bold move to try win every game i play – but we can’t win it all, especially since it’s the game that plays with us once in a while.

a week into the semestral break and I’m already wishing that school just went on and on and on and on. Its stressful to be stuck in the act of counting how much of nothing has been done – I’m seriously bored and stressed in the same breathe.

that, despite the vastness of time and space under my mercy, is the case. Come tomorrow, I’ll still be on the prowl for something awesome to do. I’m hoping to write to you again, or maybe we can talk over a cup of 3-in-1 coffee, or just spend the time lying on the beach, cloud watching and trying to pretend that I’m just a stone named romance and you are a sort of a beautiful intangible we all call love. Let’s make believe you really exist.

i left my girlfriend in Bohol.
