On this night of solitude
I didn't finish my food
Crappy
poetry, I know. But that was exactly what I was thinking as I stared at
my El Pollo Loco leftovers after dinner tonight. I stared across the
table and found… no one. This is not unusual for me. On nights like
this, I reaffirm that I’m a loner at heart.
Tonight,
I wanted to do some thinking thinking (in Tagalog, muni-muni. Ngek,
corny). I just wanted to think with no interruption. To let my thoughts
flow. To daydream. To observe people. And indulge in food.
I
thought about what would have happened if I spent this night
differently. I thought about what dessert would do the best job in
cheering me up. I thought about our move to Production. I thought about
how things never change. I daydreamed of what would have happened if
things did change. I guessed if the couples passing by the window would
really end up together. And I ate a lot of chicken, salsa, and Spanish
rice in pita wraps -- the works.
I
walked back to the office with a big tummy with no room for dessert and
a full mind with thoughts running around. I went back to the office
thinking that like my times of driving and jogging, tonight's date with
myself is alone time well-spent.
Sometimes its fun to do alone stuff you commonly do w/ friends. Didnt know you were the type to do so though... omoshire... When I'm in the mood for some alone time with myself, I do it with food too. My fave "comfort food" is the cheeseburger in Mcdo or value size frosty from Wendy's.
ReplyDeleteBetter tagalog term: bulaybulay?
yepp, i agree with mr. maskmanjoe :-) ako din, alone time = food trip :-) sarap mag isip mag isa noh? :-)
ReplyDeleteito ang mahirap gawin para sa akin.. kumain mag isa hahaha
ReplyDeleteyup, i love the mcdo cheeseburger too. :) plus caramel sundae! perfect comfort food :)
ReplyDeletemasarap minsan magpag-isa. masaya yung wala kang ibang iniisip. at your own pace. kain kung saan mo gustong kumain. at kung kailan. =)
ReplyDeletehindi ko sinasabing ayaw ko ng kasama, hehe. pasumpong-sumpong lang to. pag nakakahawa ang kalungkutan ko. hahaha =)
hmm.. di ka puedeng tumanda ng mag-isa. kasi naisip ko rin kagabi kung kampante ako na mag-isa ako, puede na sigurong hindi mag-asawa. hehehe =)

ReplyDeletenapansin ko parang favorite mo talaga el pollo loco hehe
ReplyDeletehahaha.. I am happy most of the time. :) it's just that crappiness is so out of the ordinary that I always blog about it. and there's so much to write about it. :)
ReplyDeletecai! i mishyouuu! :) hahaha nagkakataon lang. it was my 2nd time to eat there last night. hahaha. both times are documented in this blog. hehe =)
ReplyDeleteonga eh haha thats why i thought it was your favorite. ako gusto ko mag-isa MINSAN pag nagshshopping.
ReplyDeletehm, isipin mo na lang na pag kelangan na natin ng "me-time" that may mean that we're very surrounded by nosy friends and annoying family members who love us very much and make life worthwhile =)
ReplyDeleteyup, lam ko namang they're always there. there are just some times when i need to find myself. to just be an observer and not be in the main picture for once.
ReplyDeleteRemember there are always two persons present. Yourself and your other self!
