Day 12: Can This Be It?

Carbo-overload from the team lunch made so woozy. I needed a distraction lest I fall asleep sitting down. I got up and walked towards the pantry.

"Coffee, I need coffee...", I mumbled as I sleep-walked.

With one cup in a hand and a glass of ice-cold water in the other, I went back to my desk and started reading emails. I opened my blog and several other sites.

"Hmm.. nothing new...", I whispered.

Then I realized.

"Wala pa kong day 12 post..."

I saw G online and sent him a quick note.

"Wala pa kong day 12 post..."

"Baka mamaya meron..." he replied.

I stopped typing and browsed through several possible topics brewing in mind. I could not convince myself to write about catsup, at least not yet. I don't want a list today. So at two in the afternoon, Day 12 was still quite silent.

I paused for a while and looked at the screen in front of me. Quite oddly, I found myself uttering words only a woozy, carbo-filled, sleep-deprived individual can ever tell another human soul. I sent G another message.

"Habang tumatagal I'm getting more and more involved... nakakatakot", I typed in.

"Now where did that come from?", I asked myself.

"Don't be...", G replied.

"Suddenly, you are not the Tristan I know..."

"Ay sinagot ni G... tama ba yun?", I laughed.

I was finally caught in the moment. I responded by explaining myself.

"My defenses are down...",

"Finally someone has gotten through..."

"What the... ? Did I just say that?", I mumbled.

Goosebumps.

"All you have to do is surrender....", G explained.

I laughed.

"Oo nga eh...", I replied giggling.

"This is love....", G declared.

And just like that, I finally found my topic.

"Ay iboblog ko to..."

Blogger's Note. As far as I know, I am not, in any way, romantically involved with G. He is a blogger-friend who desires me so much that he had to fly all the way from the province to see me in Manila. I am sure he will deny this. He loves VENTIs. We usually talk about life over cyber-lunch and my BB stories (eventhough G does not know who BB really is).
