a stroll with liezl

edits: none

Previously:
There I was at SM Mall of Asia where the bizarre is just ordinary and where people lives in fantasy (as far as I’m concerned). I just met Liezl’s (gab) folks and right now, we are at Shaw Boulevard. She’s buying stuff that we’ll need for the roadtrip while I, on the other hand, was drowning in my delusions as I stare blankly at Richville Hotel.

Full recap here

Liezl: tell me, is it really that much of a magical place?!
Jxmn: will you believe me if I am to say that I had an epiphany here not so long ago?!
Liezl: *stops+thinks*
Jxmn: well…..?!?
Liezl: *still thinking*
Jxmn: ……..
Liezl: nnnnaaaaaaahhhhhh!!! Now you’re just making things up
Jxmn: *laughs*
Liezl: look, can you stop being all dazed there and help me with my groceries!?
Jxmn: honga pala! Sorry! Sorry! Here lemme carry those stuff for ya!
Liezl: aaawww….. such a good little helper you turned out to be
Liezl: *sarcastic*
Jxmn: op kors! Wait! Is that a complement?
Liezl: *scuffs*
Jxmn: we have a lot of loots here, would you mind telling me where we’re going?
Liezl: anywhere! Let’s be spontaneous
Jxmn: I have a suggestion… why don’t we go to………
Liezl: go to……..
Jxmn: capones, zambales
Liezl: where the heck is that!?
Jxmn: ahhhmmm… zambales!?
Liezl: I said an all night-er, not deathmarch
Jxmn: hahaha… segue, hhhhmmmm I think we should definitely visit Batangas
Liezl: ……
Jxmn: batangas here we come!!! Wwooohhhoo!!
Liezl: you are one disturbed and unstable human being
Jxmn: no am not
Liezl: you’re sick
Liezl: *laughs*
Jxmn: but seriously gab, can we go to batangas?
Liezl: give me one good reason why we should
Jxmn: *murmuring*
Liezl: wha!? I can’t hear you. Speak up!
Jxmn: I said I wanna see governor vilma
Liezl: yeah right and Queen Elizabeth’s my aunt
Liezl: *laughs*
Jxmn: I honestly wanna see governor vilma
Liezl: your face! Pwede just get in the car and lemme be the captain for tonight!?
Jxmn: do I have a choice?! I mean I really do wanna see her
Liezl: zip it!
Liezl: *smirks*

I stashed liezl’s grocery at the back seat of her mazda 6 and we got in to the car. Even with uncertainty looming in front of us, we still opted to face it head-on. It was still all too early by that time, her digital clock with purple luminescence signifies an 11:48 evening. As I don’t know what to do nor what to say, I became anxious and all too frizzy. Liezl noticed this…

Liezl: don’t tell me you’re still gonna continue with your batangas and governor vi thing
Jxmn: please, please, please, please with beautiful eyes. Can we?
Liezl: for the nth time – no! we have a better place to go to
Jxmn: *pout*
Liezl: *in a hush tone* why!? Is she there?
Jxmn: huh!? Who?
Liezl: heaven. Is your heaven there?
Jxmn: *stunned*

I practically froze when she delivered these lines. I know what to say and how to say it but I didn’t have the guts to do so. Am not the claustrophobic type but I felt that my world is slowly diminishing. It’s utterly becoming more and more difficult to breathe and that you double your efforts for a desperate gasp of air that you need. Steadily, I felt an involuntary movement - my left hand was now holding my chest, clinging for dear life.

Liezl: it’s just a simple question, don’t get too hyped up.
Jxmn: …………………
Liezl: ………………
Jxmn: ……………
Liezl: …………………
Jxmn: can i!?
Jxmn: *referring to the car window*
Liezl: *didn’t even budge*
Jxmn: you know what I love about night stroll like this one!?
Liezl: *silent + focus on driving*
Jxmn: I love how the cool breeze damps my succulent face
Liezl: *laughs*
Jxmn: what!? It’s true naman e
Liezl: *smirks*
Liezl: here you go
Liezl: *pushes a button to lower the car window*
Jxmn: there, see!? The night breeze is wwwaaaayyy better than compressed nitrogen-oxygen-nickelide pressurized air thingy
Liezl: *smiles*
Liezl: are you always like that!?
Jxmn: huh!? Like what?
Liezl: there had been a dead-air for the last 5 minutes or so then you suddenly bounce back
Jxmn: *laughs*
Jxmn: you’re actually the first person to say that and I’m gonna take it as a compliment
Liezl: *laughs*
Jxmn: here’s a trivia for you, I am the type that loves to write. I love sharing my stories with people and infusing the trademark me in the words that I say.
Liezl: wow! So what pick-up lines you used so far!?
Jxmn: gab, didn’t you hear what I just said!?
Liezl: huh!?
Jxmn: I said I love to write – I’m a writer not a playah. Would you even believe that I dunno when and how to drop them pick-up lines?
Liezl: *laughing her ass off*
Liezl: then prove it!
Jxmn: prove what?
Liezl: that you are a so-called writer
Jxmn: prove it?! As in now?
Liezl: yeah! Say something – something that introduces your writer side
Jxmn: well….. am not good with impromptu ----
Liezl: *cuts jexamine off*
Liezl: hinde, hinde…. Wala ka pala e… bbbboooo!!
Jxmn: all am saying is ----
Liezl: inde, wag ka ng magpalusot!
Liezl: *teasing*
Jxmn: enough already sheesh… you want it so badly!?
Liezl: hahahaha
Jxmn: right…. Here it goes
Liezl: hold-up, hold-up
Jxmn: what!?

I felt the car was steadily coming to a slow halt. I looked outside the window and saw a panoramic view of reds, purples, pinks and greens – the cosmetic lights that makes the buildings that much more dramatic looking.

Jxmn: what’s this? Why did we stop?
Liezl: isn’t it grandeur!? This might help you cook something up. Plus, I wanna focus on what you are about to say
Jxmn: *closes eyes + breathes deeply*
Liezl: this better be good.
Jxmn: sssshhh… I’m internalizing
Liezl: arte mo!
Jxmn: aahhmm… do you want this piece or not?
Liezl: oooohhh… so is this for me?
Jxmn: with the sound of a violin, I only see marc enfroy. But when you stepped in my world, the night became memorable.
Liezl: *listening intently*
Jxmn: …………….
Liezl: *winks + beautiful eyes*
Jxmn: *looks at liezl*
Liezl: ………
Jxmn: …………
Liezl: and!?
Jxmn: what do you mean “and”!?
Liezl: was THAT it!?
Jxmn: well yeah
Liezl: hahahha. Some writer slash poet you turn out to be… pppffftttt
Jxmn: a simple thank you would have sufficed.
Liezl: no offense but I think Alex can do a better job than you.
Jxmn: I have lots to say! It’s just that……
Liezl: just what!? Don’t tell me you’re holding back?
Jxmn: well of course I am!
Liezl: What!? Why!?
Jxmn: ………
Liezl: listen, listen. Like you said, the night's still young. We’ll give it another go later ok!?
Jxmn: *deep sigh*
Liezl: ok!?
Jxmn: yes boss!
Liezl: and please just say what’s in your heart
Jxmn: I will and then you’ll see
Liezl: looking forward to it….
Liezl: *hush tone* angel
Jxmn: huh!?
Liezl: what!? I didn’t say anything
Jxmn: wushu!
Liezl: so what are you waiting for!?
Jxmn: *confused*
Liezl: get off the car! We’re already here!
Jxmn: wwwaaahhh!! I thought that this was supposed to be a long drive!?
Liezl: *smirks*
Liezl: don’t worry, like I said, it’s an all night-er. Trust me
Jxmn: *heart thumps*
Jxmn: so am I in heaven?
Liezl: Asa! (you wish)
Jxmn: Where am I!?

an evening with liezl

editor's note: this entry would never even exist if it wasn't for ser meltz.

Previously:
I decided to be at SM Mall of Asia on Halloween’s eve. There, I met a girl aptly named (in some fate’s playful gesture) Liezl and her brother Alex. Being uncomfortable with her name, I dubbed Liezl as Gab. We were talking about a lot of stuff when she spontaneously offered an evening stroll with six (her mazda six car). Her family’s slowly inching their way to us as we are in contention on how we are to ask permission to them.

See the full details here

Liezl: here they come.
Liezl: *points her finger*
Jxmn: *startled*
Jxmn: really!? Do I look alright!? I mean does my hair bounce the way that it should? Do I smell ok!?
Liezl: relax!! Sheesh! Talk about being in a boiler room
Liezl: *laugh’s demonically* (figuratively speaking)
Jxmn: e d ikaw na magaling, ako na loser
Liezl: *continues her laughing “menace”*

I get all jittery and I fumble when I’m in the presence of these types of people simply because I have high regard to them. These are the people who belong to the class S of the social community tier and right now, well… I can hear my knees crumbling.

Alex: ate! Kuya!
Liezl: hey pest.
Jxmn: *nods*
Alex: Pa, kuya here fixed my gun
Alex: *smile*
Liezl: hey Pa, Ma. I was wondering when you’ll show up
Pa: tell that to your mom! We were in and out of like eight stores and she’s still undecided of what she’ll buy
Ma: *laughs*
Ma: well, look at the bright side – we’re done now and we’re here.
Pa: wait a sec. Alex, did you just said that this person here fixed your gun?!
Alex: *nods*
Pa: you mean to say……… you broke it!?
Alex: *playfully nods and keeping his distance*
Pa: come here you……

Before I knew it, Alex was already sprinting away with his dad hot on his trail. This left me, Gab and Gab’s mom on the spotlight.

Ma: sorry for that. Now where were we?!
Jxmn: *clueless+drooling*
Liezl: you know what Ma!? Sometimes I wonder why you married Pa. I mean look at him…. *chuckles*
Ma: me too hon. I wonder that myself *laughs*
Ma: so who do we have here?
Liezl: ay oo nga pala. Ma this is jexamine
Ma: je…..xa….m….ine?!
Liezl: yeah! He has a weird name no!?
Jxmn: *blush* (well I felt that I blushed)
Jxmn: *bows his head like in a Japanese way of greeting*
Liezl: jexamine my mom. Mom, jexamine.
Ma: Pa! stop chasing Alex and come here for a moment *mildly shouting*
Pa: *gasping+trying to catch his breath*
Pa: what!? I almost had him
Liezl: Pa this is jexamine. Jexamine, my dad.
Pa: *exchanges look with Ma*
Jxmn: good evening sir. Nice night we’re having today *bow’s head*
Pa: evening. Thanks for fixing my son’s toy gun. He just got it for like two hours ago.
Jxmn: no problem sir.
Pa: so are you working?
Jxmn: *caught off guard*
Liezl: *baffled*
Liezl: aahhhmmm.. Pa…. what are you doing!?
Pa: huh!? What do you mean?! I’m just trying to start a conversation here
Liezl: aaaahhmmmm…
Jxmn: yes I do sir! I’m currently working as a software engineer and right now I’m assigned in cybergate.
Pa: that’s good! Software engineer huh!? Kinda has a nice ring to it.
Pa: *smile*
Jxmn: actually sir, it’s just a fancy term that the office used for someone getting paid by staring blankly at the monitor all day.
Pa: *laughs*
Ma: Pa, it’s getting late already. We should be going on our way now. You two can chat some other time.
Pa: yeah…. I guess so…. Hey jeshamarie
Jxmn: huh!?
Liezl: jexamine pa!
Pa: yeah! Yeah! Want us to give you a lift? Where are you staying?
Liezl: *answer’s for jexamine*
Liezl: nevermind Pa. I invited him for a stroll tonight.
Jxmn: *heart thumps*
Ma: ooooooooohhhhhhh
Pa: hhhhmmmmm, so you’re not coming with us tonight Liezl?
Liezl: nnnaaahhh. I’ll just sleep at the condo
Pa: alright! Ingat sa pagmamaneho
Liezl: thanks! I will!
Pa: jeshamay
Ma: Pa you’re really getting old. His name’s jexamine
Pa: that’s what I said. The point is it’s nice meeting you and have a good one.
Jxmn: the feeling’s the same sir. Ingat po
Jxmn: *bow’s his head*
Ma: we’ll be goin Liezl, Jexamine
Jxmn: *bow’s his head*
Alex: kuya! Alis na kami. *hugs*
Jxmn: *hugs back*
Jxmn: let’s watch some anime if we meet again
Alex: really!? *eager*
Jxmn: *nods*
Liezl: go Alex! Just go
Alex: kuya you promised ha!?

I wave goodbye as their Toyota Fortuner ventures beyond. I’m still disturbed by the fast-paced turn of events. You know what I mean right!? Who on earth will offer a ride back home to a mere stranger that you just met!? I don’t know if I’m loosing it or the fact that gab and her family’s just too trusting. I didn’t even heard any complains when she told her folks that we are to take a stroll – no contention none whatsoever. My day was getting weirder and weirder by the moment. I started wondering id Shan’s offer’s still on the table. The cogs, nuts and bolts in my brain doubled their efforts but I am still left puzzled and unable to find an answer to the riddle that is Gab and her family. Then it hit me: I promised a midnight stroll with Gab – a Liezl (on her own right) but not the one that I sorely long for. I can’t think of anything else and frankly, from that point on, I don’t wanna think simply because I grew tired of doing such.

Liezl: so….. where to!?
Jxmn: I dunno. You’re the tourism student right!? You decide for us
Liezl: woah! Woah! Woah! What’s that all about!?
Jxmn: huh!?
Liezl: why are you sooooooo grouchy all of a sudden!?
Jxmn: nothing............................................. ne Gab……
Liezl: hhhmmm!?
Jxmn: you’ve one weird fam. You do realize that don’t you!?
Liezl: *sarcastic* not really… I think we blend pretty well. I think we’re normal – we look normal, we talk normal, heck we even smell normal *chuckles*
Jxmn: I’m serious!
Liezl: ok, ok! Sheesshh… fill me in
Jxmn: your folks just offered me a ride home..
Liezl: so!?
Jxmn: so!?!?! Would you do that to a person you’ve just met?
Liezl: see! They just proved my judgment
Jxmn: huh!?
Liezl: nevermind! Look, do you want this stroll or not!?
Jxmn: *drools at mazda 6*
Jxmn: sige na nga…
Liezl: on one condition though
Jxmn: gggaaahhhhh!!! May condition pa!? what is it ba?
Liezl: stop being such a grouch or else we won’t have a good time
Jxmn: *contemplating*
Jxmn: *after 18 seconds* ayt! It’s a deal then. So…… where to chief!?
Liezl: wait! Don’t you wanna get something to nibble first?
Jxmn: nope
Liezl: you sure!?
Jxmn: yeah
Liezl: you sure, sure!?
Jxmn: yeah
Liezl: ok
Jxmn: on secod thought, I wanna buy something pala
Liezl: make up your mind men *laughs*
Jxmn: ayt! Ayt!
Liezl: mall’s closed *chuckles*
Jxmn: I want something so take me to Shaw
Liezl: wwwwwaaahhhhh!! All the way to Shaw Blvd?!
Jxmn: yeah! There’s a 7-11 there, we can buy some foods.
Liezl: there’s a ministop near here, let’s just buy there plus we’ll be relieved of the hassle
Jxmn: hey! I’m the one that’s gonna pay for the gas. Let’s buy something in 7-11. do you know Richville Hotel!?
Liezl: sure I do.
Jxmn: then drive on chief.
Liezl: wait. Wait. I thought we’re goin at 7-11?
Jxmn: we are! 7-11’s just opposite that hotel

It didn’t take long for us to reach our destination. Gab already parked six and she was now already inside 7-11. I asked her to pick-out the chips, dips, booze and whatever things that she thinks we might need. I opted to just stay outside and stare at the entrance of the Richville hotel. I just stood there unfazed as my mind do what it does best – drifts afar with my own hallucination.

Liezl: ready!?

As I motioned to Gab, I was surprised as to how much things she bought. Saying that she has with her a handful of groceries is definitely an understatement.

Jxmn: aaahhhmmmmm…. Did I miss something here!?
Liezl: *confused*
Jxmn: wassup with all those groceries!? Do you really think that everything there is necessary?
Liezl: well yeah… we have a long drive ahead of us plus it’s an all night-er
Jxmn: *jaw dropped*
Liezl: hey am just curious, I kept on seeing you staring at Richville. What are you doing!? Are you counting the people that comes in and out? Oohhh! Oohhh!! I know! Is this where you spend the night!? Can I go in!?

dalamhati

note: i was supposed to use a photo provided by shan but i couldn't find a copy of the ones he provided

A smile so tender
A smile so sweet
A smile I can’t afford
In a day to sorely miss

When I see you smile
For any reason at all
My whole world lights up
And snow begins to fall

I wonder if am the only one
By your smile, getting stunned
But how can this thing be?
You’re slowly becoming my sweetest elegy

The more I see you
The more you drive my insane
But the more I love you
The more I’m stabbed and in pain

If I shed a tear for you
Will it even be justifiable
After all, we’re just two different strangers
In a chaos full of people

This is one of the reasons why
I opted to just see your smile
Why I just wanted to hear you laugh
Though I know, I want more and this ain’t enough.



This sonnet is the result of the spurt of emotions brought forth by the news that shan handed to me a couple of days back. Bro, as much as i hate to admit this but your conflicts with sheena are constantly fueling me to compose not only sonnets but also short stories (which are evident in your five-part series). I've pen numerous of your escapades (both real and fiction) but this sudden road block might prove to be too much for you to handle. I am behind you one hundred percent because I wanna witness where you'll take your own destiny. I will be waiting for that day when i can finally write the words "and when after all is said and done, they lived happily ever after"

cheers bro! chin-up

collection of hearts in an uncharted kingdom

edits: none
photo: stock

thinking of you wherever you are
we pray for our sorrows to end
and hope that our hearts will blend.
now i will step forward to realize this wish
and who knows!?
starting a new journey may not be so hard
or maybe it's already begun
there are many worlds
but they share the same sky
one sky, one destiny

a different shade of liezl

edits: none

I was sitting on our usual bench near the fountain just beside the fruitshake stand. It was Friday, the night before Halloween and I ditched Shan’s offer (because he liked his episode so much) to stay at his place and instead, I was at SM Mall of Asia, at San Miguel by The Bay to be exact. The fireworks had just finished its fashionable display and I was left with nothing else to do but stare at people frantically going back and forth. I was accompanied by wendy (ipod video) and she has this innate ability to filter out any external/worldly nonsense. She kept me busy and entertained whilst my consciousness drifts afar – stretching as far as the dark night beyond the horizon. I was almost half-asleep when this young lady, together with her brother, was standing right in front of me. She pulled my sleeve and I was startled.

Lady: excuse me but do you think you can help me?
Jxmn: ……
Lady: see, my lil bro bought this bubble-gun thingy and I think he broke it.
Jxmn: ……..
Lady: sssoooo… can you have a look at it?
Jxmn: *in my mind* there are lots of people here, go ask them. I’m having a trance for crying out loud.
Jxmn: uuhhmmm.. sure
Lady: thanks so much

I was then catapulted back to reality and to my surprise, the young lady was holding the bubble-producing gun that I’ve been itching to buy for ages. Frankly, I don’t know what’s wrong with the toy nor did I have any idea of what I am doing but I somehow fixed it.

Jxmn: here… try it
Lady: alex, try it if it’s working as the way it should be.
Jxmn: ……..
Alex: it’s perfect! Thanks kuya!
Jxmn: *smile+nod*
Lady: go play somewhere else Alex, I’ll just stay here.

As I was about to put the noise-reducing, nonsense-ridding earphone, the lady sat beside me eagerly watching over his brother, Alex. Then it hit me, of all the people and of all the names, why did I end up meeting with an Alex?! I steadily closed my eyes hoping to continue where I left off before I was (rudely) interrupted. I was just about to take flight (figuratively speaking) when…

Lady: excuse me.
Jxmn: *unaware due to the earphones*
Lady: anou….
Jxmn: ……
Lady: *pulled my sleeves again*
Jxmn: *startled yet again*
Jxmn: sorry. Can’t hear you
Lady: so I noticed.
Jxmn: do you have the time?
Lady: sure am just watching over my brother and it wouldn’t hurt to….
Jxmn: no… I mean what time is it?
Lady: oh sorry..
Lady: *looks at her watch*
Lady: it’s 8:08…
Jxmn: thanks
Lady: in a hurry much?
Jxmn: nnnaahhh… I’ve all the time that I can possibly want in an entire lifetime.
Lady: you know, you’re not the friendly type no!?
Jxmn: *stunned*
Jxmn: what!? How can you say such? You barely know me.
Lady: chill… just chill… I was just playing so we can start a conversation.
Jxmn: hahaha… am sorry for being a pain. Maybe we started off on the wrong foot
Lady: yeah, I know
Jxmn: wanna start over?
Lady: sure, sure
Jxmn: ayt here goes… excuse me but may I have the pleasure of knowing your name?
Lady: *shock*
Lady: why so formal all of a sudden
Jxmn: *smirked*
Lady: this lady before you is a goddess but you can call me Liezl
Jxmn: *jaw-dropped+stunned+was about to hurl*

8 seconds later…

Jxmn: are you serious?
Liezl: aahhmmm… yyaahh… why do you think otherwise?
Jxmn: and your brother’s name is Alex, correct?
Liezl: yep!
Jxmn: *in utter disbelief*
Liezl: and you are?
Jxmn: *spacing out*
Liezl: hoy!
Jxmn: am sorry, the name’s jex by the way. Are you really serious that you are who you claim to be?
Liezl: oo nga! Wanna see my ID?
Jxmn: nahh.. nevermind… its just…
Liezl: just what?
Jxmn: nuthin… am not actually comfortable of calling you by your name, can I call you sumthin else?
Liezl: *freaking out+baffled*
Liezl: huh!? How come?
Jxmn: just because… from this point on, I will refer to you as Gab. How does that sound?
Liezl: whatever. You have an alien name no!? Where’d you get that?
Jxmn: ouch! E d ikaw na maayos ang pangalan
Liezl: hahahahha… sensitive much?
Jxmn: nnaaahhhh!! It’s just an expression. So where are you working Gab?
Liezl: am still studying here at Ateneo taking up tourism. From the looks of things, I’d say you’re already working
Jxmn: yep. I may look like 48 but in reality, am just 38.
Liezl: hahahhahaa
Jxmn: what?! Are you mocking me?!
Liezl: hahaha… nevermind.
Jxmn: so are you in a pre-holloween get-together with your fam?
Liezl: yeah… do you come here often?
Jxmn: I used to.
Liezl: used to!? how come?
Jxmn: I come here, before, every Friday and Saturday just to watch the fireworks. I’ve been here numerous times but I was with someone else.
Liezl: was?
Jxmn: yeah. It’s a long story
Liezl: like you said, you have all the time that you can possibly want in an entire lifetime
Jxmn: ayt! Ayt! she’s also a liezl, just like you
Liezl: *smile*
Jxmn: but I never called her in such fashion. Now that I think about it, I can’t recall a single incident that I called her by her name.
Liezl: did you also call her Gab? *fondly speaking*
Jxmn: nope. But I called her numerous names the likes of which are dude, tsong, zel until I settle down with heaven.
Liezl: heaven huh!?
Jxmn: yeah
Liezl: so what happened to you guys?
Jxmn: aaahhmmm… are you in a super friendly mode? Hahaha, just kidding
Liezl: hahhaha…
Jxmn: but you know, this time around last year, she and I were having the time of our lives. Right after what happened to her and your brother.
Liezl: what? My bro?
Jxmn: yeah, Alex. Bottomline is we were having the grand time of our lives a year ago
Liezl: and?
Jxmn: so… how about you!? What’s your story?
Liezl: *pout*
Liezl: well for starters and like I mentioned, I am taking up my last semester as a tourism student in Ateneo de Manila University.
Jxmn: this may be long overdue but congrats on winning the UAAP this season and for coming as the second placer in the cheerdance competition.
Liezl: I know! Everyone at campus was ecstatic with that double whammy.
Jxmn: so are you one of them cheerdance member?
Liezl: nnnaahhhh… I can’t even bend and reach my toes hahaha
Jxmn: hahahha.. would’ve been cool though.
Liezl: yeah
Jxmn: ne, am gonna buy a drink, want some?
Liezl: lemme walk with you so I can choose what I will buy.

I’m still doubtful if what’s happening right now was as true as it can get. As Liezl, I mean Gab and I were nearing the stall, I was hoping and anticipating for the cameras and crews saying that “you got punked men!” but none of that ever happened.

Liezl: let’s just sit here
Jxmn: nnnnaahhh… I wanna sit where you originally found me
Liezl: sheeesshh!! A bit of a grouch aren’t you!?
Jxmn: hell yeah! Hahahah
Liezl: hahhaha… fine then
Jxmn: you were saying?
Liezl: oh right, well I don’t live with my folks anymore. I live somewhere near here but I won’t tell you on the account of you might stalk me
Jxmn: hahahahh. Asa (you wish)!
Liezl: ouch! Rude! Evil
Jxmn: my bad! Am just playing man… continue
Liezl: anyways, am not a sport-buff either. The figures that you see are natural, I mean it’s effortless for me to be this slim and sexy.
Jxmn: -__-;
Liezl: right… what’s with that expression?
Jxmn: nothing. Music of choice?
Liezl: I listen to a variety of genres ranging from alt to pop, from instrumental to classical
Jxmn: OPM?
Liezl: not really. I’d rather have classical over OPM
Jxmn: classical? As in Beethoven?
Liezl: yep! But the only one that I know is canon in D
Jxmn: I think everyone knows that nowadays thanks to the my sassy girl Korean movie
Liezl: eeeehhhhh!! So have you watched it already?
Jxmn: hhhmmm…. Only 8 times hahaha. And yeah! I fell in love with canon just because of the movie
Liezl: gyeon-woo for the win! Hahah
Jxmn: hahaha… fond of anime?
Liezl: not really, but alex over there watches a lot of them.
Jxmn: wwoohhooo!
Liezl: and you?
Jxmn: well somehow I can say that we tend to be alike on some aspects. For instance, I love classical, instrumental and classical crossover music. I also listen mostly to alternative/emo music but mostly OPM and j-artist.
Liezl: OPM? What band?
Jxmn: well as of the moment, am nuts about silent sanctuary but I ain’t sure if you’re familiar with them
Liezl: fill me in
Jxmn: I like their current single hiling. It’s a story about a dude who will embark overseas since he was accepted in a prominent university but at the same time he was unaware that his girlfriend was preggy. Just youtube for the video.
Liezl: aahhh… I know that video. The one with the violin and that they met in the school campus
Jxmn: bingo!
Liezl: well I listen to Marc Enfory’s music. He’s not an OPM but I dunno where to classify him
Jxmn: *shocked*
Jxmn: Marc Enfroy? As in Reflections in Deep Blue Marc Enfory?
Liezl: yeah! How’d you know?
Jxmn: because that’s what am listening earlier.
Liezl: wow! Can’t believe that I’d find such a person
Jxmn: what’s that supposed to mean?
Liezl: you just ain’t the type that will listen to such
Jxmn: don’t assume. In fact, never ever assume
Liezl: ok po, ok po
Jxmn: hahaha.. am just sayin that based on experience
Liezl: so what are you doin here?
Jxmn: huh!? Like I sez, am just here for the fireworks
Liezl: the fireworks’ long over dude… I mean what are you REALLY doing here?
Jxmn: nothing… it’s just that, the other liezl’s been in my dreams extremely a lot for the past god-knows when
Liezl: ahhh… is that a bad thing?
Jxmn: nope! It’s actually a wonderful thing but I can’t help but miss her, which leads us to now. I came here in an effort to “relive” the moment when she’s with me. I thought that it would make me feel a lot better
Liezl: and?
Jxmn: well, let’s just say it hadn’t helped one bit.
Liezl: wanna go for a stroll?
Jxmn: huh!? Where’d that come from? I mean are you serious?
Liezl: well yeah. When am lonely, I just took a stroll and see where it will lead me
Jxmn: sorry, am what you call the “aliping gala” type. I ain’t got no wheels.
Liezl: it’s fine, I have mine parked over there *points her finger*
Jxmn: are you serious Gab?! Your ride is 6?
Liezl: 6?!
Jxmn: Mazda 6.
Liezl: yeah. Wanna go for a stroll?
Jxmn: hold up!! Hold up Gab! Did it not occur to you that I might be a deranged, psychotic maniac?
Liezl: well yeah, but you proved me wrong when we took that stroll to the stall
Jxmn: huh!? What’s that got to do with the psychotic maniac thing?
Liezl: nothing. I have my own reasons. Plus if you were a maniac, then you wouldn’t have told me your story nor give me another name
Jxmn: point taken. But what if I just made those stuffs? I mean, what if am just trying to lure you in?
Liezl: if those were just some man-made stories then how do you explain your eyebags?!?
Jxmn: *smile*
Jxmn: ayt! Ayt! You got me! But the night’s still young. Let’s just stay here for a little more while. It’s been ages since I last went here.
Liezl: sure! Whatever you say. You pay for the gas though
Liezl: *demonic laugh* (well not really but she was laughing nonetheless)
Jxmn: I changed my mind. I’d rather stay here pala.
Liezl: evil!
Jxmn: hahaha… am just playing… sure I’ll pay for the gas. What about Alex and the rest of your fam?
Liezl: well, let’s just go over and tell them that we have plans
Jxmn: wwhhhaattt!? Are you out of your mind? Just go over? In the first place, am just a stranger that you met here in this bench.
Liezl: you don’t have to do anything
Jxmn: of course I don’t have to do anything
Liezl: you’re right….
Jxmn: damn straight!
Liezl: you’re right…. Coz here they come together with Alex
Jxmn: huh!?!?!?!?!!
Jxmn: *faints* (well not really but Gab’s folks were literally inches away)
