SET BACKS
I changed the title of my latest sonnet. I had an additional hidden meaning in mind but I couldn’t fit it in however, this morning I was thinking about the structures and it dawned on me, I just need to change one word and everything will fit. So I did, but I had to choose that word with the starting letter that coincides with the sonnet as well as flow from one’s lips.
There I was again, pounding my brain for that word, searching and trying out different meanings with the first word of the title and I believe I just did that. The word just seemed to pop into my mind and I thought about it, reflected upon it and so it became the new title: SONNET VI (REQUITE OBSCURITY).
I’m chatting with a good old buddy of mine while I’m writing this article and I told him that we should go to Boracay before we turn 30. Also I might not be going back to the Philippines for the next 3-5 years after my vacation this 2006. The old gang will be there. College friends turned close friends.
They were the only ones I invited in my despida before I left. I cooked my insanely infamous pasta that was matched with my sumptuous garlic bread. It was a good night, mingled with friends, hugs and kisses were in excess. None of them drinks which is what I liked about the old gang, no one gets drunk but everyone is high from good old fashion laugh trips and witty retorts.
I’m really looking forward to my vacation and my old buddy has become a home buddy since I left. I promised him we’ll date often *chuckles* if Liz allows him to.
I’ll make this vacation memorable for all us, memorable in the sense it’s something to look forward to in the future.
Liz by the way is his pet iguana *laughs*.
I have this friend of mine who owns a scorpion *blink-blink*. Golly, kids nowadays really have exotic tastes. Speaking of pets, I miss my dogs, too bad my oldest dog passed away three months I left, her offspring is turning three this year and amusingly enough, I know his birthday. I mean who wouldn’t forget September 11, right? I recall that morning waking up and seeing how my dog’s pregnancy was and saw the litter before me.
I recall the evenings I spent with that dog, showering her with affection as I talked, she seemed to understand and always gave a look that seems to me that she listens. For some reason I connect with those dogs and I miss them, it’s unfortunate that one of them passed away.
I’ll probably look for my dog when I first get home *laughs* and see how he has been, I’ll try and fatten him up when I come back.
I’m looking forward to meeting up with my friends and spend time one on one time with them as what we usually do. I’m not the type of guy who mingles with a lot of people and even though I have quite a network of friends and most of which I really took great care of developing my relationships with; the secret is just that, one on one time; shopping, movies, eating out, sensible conversations etc.
I’ve made new friends too, I’m looking forward to spending time with them but I think one of the matters I’ve been wanting to happen is to meet up with childhood friends, I haven’t seen them in eight years and I know I’ve loved them even before I knew the word or what love meant.
