Emoting in the Metro
I ACCOMPANIED my mom on a trip to Ortigas earlier today. We first ate lunch at a crowded McDonald's on Quirino Avenue. It was open 24 hours a day so it had sticky floors. We then dropped my brother at DLSU Manila for his entrance exam.
I was listening to 99.5 RT, RX 93.1, and MAGIC 89.9 as we zoomed down Makati on a Sunday afternoon. The financial district was quiet and all the big offices of these various banks were closed since it was a Sunday. I took snapshots of these tall buildings as they scraped the smog hazy sky.
We went to the Ortigas Home Depot to look for some things we can put into our kitchen which is still in construction. Our driver, Kuya Jong, followed my mom and I as we walked into this large warehouse which reminded me of Robinson's Big K Supercenter.
It felt like hours just standing there. I wasn't so comfortable while I was there. I had txt'd a few people like Tom, Leah, and Lance but none of them were replying. With no one talking or texting me, I sank back into that "Shit, I miss..." state again.
My whole trip to the Metro was like that. We went to SM Megamall afterwards and it was so fucking crowded. It wasn't just a Sunday, it was the last of a three-day big sale. The parking lot was just chaos! You couldn't even see the second floor because it was a sea of people! I insisted we take the stairs instead of falling in line at the escalators.
I got tired of seeing so many people. I saw couples, as usual. I just felt like crap. I said to myself, "If only I was with, I wouldn't care if this mall had twice more of the current amount! We'd swim in the crowd together."
I tried to change the housing of my 7650, but there was this additional Php 200.00 service fee for the procedure. The housing I found, a simple black one, was already going to cost me Php 390.00.
We ate dinner at Kenny Roger's and the air conditioning there was at full blast. I couldn't take it! That's around the time Tom and Leah texted me. It's their seventh monthsary and I congratulated them. After congratulating them, I got sick in the stomach.
"How many more times must I be so happy in greeting other couples another happy monthsary when I myself haven't experienced a single one."
I swallowed a piece of fiesta chicken. I tried to enjoy a spoonful of Corn 'n Carrots.
"I wonder what $%@$% likes to eat. I wonder if $%@$% ate already this evening."
While my mom and our driver used the rest room, I walked into Anonymous and the sale hit me then. I bought a new pair of jeans, black ones, for Php 499.00. Down from the original price of Php 899.00.
The mysterious first quarter of the moon was in the horizon as I walked across the parking lot. Loud hip hop music was being played somewhere down the long walkway in front of Megamall B's entrance. I was going to our CR-V when suddenly I looked up at what zone we were parked at.
It was a like playing TETRIS when our driver tried searching for a parking lot during the late afternoon. And out of all the places, we had to park in that zone.
I don't want to get paranoid, but this isn't the first time this has happened. It's driving me crazy.

Something isn't right
I can feel it again feel it again
This isn't the first time
That you left me waiting
Sad excuses and false hopes high
I saw this coming still I don't know why
I let you in
I knew it all along
You're so predictable
I knew something would go wrong (something's always wrong)
So you don't have to call
Or say anything at all
So predictable (so predictable)
So take your empty words your broken promises
And all the time you stole cause I am done with this
I can give it away give it away
I'm doin everything I should've
And now I'm makin a change
I'm living the day
I'm giving back what you gave me
I don't need anything
I knew it all along
You're so predictable
I knew something would go wrong (something's always wrong)
So you don't have to call
Or say anything at all
So predictable (so predictable)
Everywhere I go
Everyone I meet
Every time I try to fall in love
They all want to know why I'm so broken
Why am I so cold
Why I'm so hard inside.
Why am I scared
What am I afraid of
I don't even know
This story's never had an end
I've been waiting
I've been searching
I've been hoping
I've been dreaming you would come back
But I know the ending of this story
You're never coming back
Never..never..never..never.....[echo].....
I knew it all along
You're so predictable
I knew something would go wrong (something's always wrong)
So you don't have to call
Or say anything at all
So predictable (so predictable)
Everywhere I go for the rest of my life (so predictable)
Everyone that I love
Everyone I care about
They're all gonna wanna know what's wrong with me (so predictable)
And I know what it is
I'm ending this right now..
PREDICTABLE. Good Charlotte.
This is one fucking great song. I love it! It's ironic how the other single "Hold On" is against suicide and then how this song ends with "I'm ending this right now..." with the dramatic beat in the background. o_0
The video rocks by the way. I like their dark approach.

Up next: Puerto Galera with my friends! I think it's going to be a memorable trip on a whole different level.
