FLIGHTS OF THE KHMER HORSE

Sunflowers bloomed.

They romp like a fiery Khmer horse breaking through the stars.

It was the end of the harvest season, the beginning of the solar new year, and the moment when a second impact story booked almost all the flights to the Bali Assembly.

Maha Songkra (Scorpio Nights)

On the first day of the Khmer New Year, the approval of a requested reallocation enabled the Water Boy to partially settle monthly liabilities.

The security guard's wife burned slowly, a lighted incense dissipating into ashes of mediocre characters and inferior adaptations of a Bali Workshop that were blessed with bottled sanctified water from an ecopark of reheated pork barbecue.

On the second day of the Khmer New Year, the exchange rate for Year 5 was unveiled.

Sarah's obsession with ramen was ignited by a second pilates session, 10 hours to a vigil where more pork barbecue were reheated for charity by Joyce's and Margaret's interpretation of her.

On the third day of the Khmer New Year, the public market was inlfitrated from the rear through the narrow alleys of Bakal 3 where Rica and the deities were cleansed by Joyce and Margaret.

San Sebastian was not martyred with arrows but clubbed to death, most probably a few days before the Chinese New Year.

San Sebastian is venerated by by the Ironman and the Bakal 2 Hiking Society as the patron saint of morning walkers who goes to a goto stall for a haircut at the cost of a chicharong baboy pack and two plastic platters of oily menudo.

The Khmer horse was unrestrained, all international flights were booked, a renedezvous at the San Sebastian Church predicated the Sunday Market.

In the virtual universe, travel taxes and imigration cards go through electronic gates... 

THE PILATES BEGIN

The power walks that were first routed via Bakal 1 conveyed Joseph Hubertus Pilates tnrough a roadblock into the reluctant furniture restorer's rented shop before hopping through the stalls of a bazaar to finally procure a pack of replacement batteries before Sunday's breakfast at Jollibee. 

In Baloc, what is probably the most prevalent and oldest medical practice in the world, obligatory to Muslims and Jews who are both Abrahamic with more than common heritage, was celebrated with non-kosher and haram beer and pork like cats flirting by the roadside on the day of a funeral to inspire the first contrology session. 

Monday's payment request was finally acknowledged during Friday's huddle on managing the impact of the Khmer New Year on the Bali Assembly as yet another inbox purge nailed the Phonom Penh Workshop and concluded a system audit through the footprint reporting of meaningful reach and scale. 

But the lechong paksiw moments were when anemia was reported to have been reversed with the confirmation of a career progression in recognition of Bulan's driving proficiency.

The onset of the performance management review conversations as discussed in the Kuala Lumpur Forum's finance report debrief and subsequent exchanges between ASEAN collaborators on social protetction begot the Bali Workshop, an emergence that is as uncertain as signing on to a coal phase-out and as definite as the approval of a requested reaallocation. 

At the regular weekly meetings, it was decided that the Phantom Biler will accommodate a walking season with at least three pilates sessions and a series of gym workouts ... 

BREAKFASTS AT DUSIT THANI (The ASEAN Gender Week)

After the minster was cleared of foreign exchange traders, the laicized cleric instructed from the mountain in the Town in Heaven that "GEDSI must be embedded in energy project design and delivery to drive gender equality and inclusion in energy employment, and build capacity on socially inclusive and gender-responsive energy transition" --- words so esoteric that the spy, instead of gathering intelligence for the Phnom Penh Workshop, opted to usher a welcome dinner at The Pantry, consecutive breakfast buffets so tedious that Lawson's was obliged to host the Last Supper. 

The Secretariat proposed during a huddle that Dusit Thani's breakfast buffet be reimagined as Aling Sosing's freshly grilled pork liempo that can be chopped into an Amorsolo sisig after the morning shift, that its noodle station be exclusive for displaying Japan Town's ramen selection.  

In Little Tokyo, the geishas of Ramen Nagi and Misaki seduced the Phantom Biker with an overpriced sashimi breakfast platter and ramen bowl that hinted of cold sake and two mugs of Suntory highball instead of The Pantry's nubile roving barista, all that for a hefty P4,18 price tag that coud have covered a seat at Michelin-selected Umu.  

Breakfasts at 5-starred Dusit Thani are overrated.

Indeed, the bachelors of Bakal 2 and their dogs preferred slurping balut and penoy higop with inutak at San Roque's church in Pateros to start the day, or a double plate brunch of Nanay's Pancit Malabon with the traders and merchants gathered at San Bartolome's massive church, or even grill an imaginary gilik-flavored bangus for the devotees of San Jose de Navotas' universal church.

Breakfasts can be Maundy like a birthday present of tokwa't baboy and litsong manok wrapped in the Bali Procurement --- 17 years in the Craft celebrated with a Black lager and merlot --- or even an Easter kosher dinner for a vigil to keep an 83-years old soul from wandering and guide him into the spirit world...
