SLACK DAYS

In the ensuing pause, a restless Ma Loute hounded the headmistress of Cuencas Mineras with short messages to entice the Nuestra SeƱora de las Saleras into succumbing to her apparent fondness for human flesh although this time, she is the intended meal...  

,,,,after the impossible did took a little longer, that of Melbourne committing for a timely disbursement to effectively launched Year 4 as the scheduled conclusion of Year 3 was initiated through the submission of an updated reflection report thus shifting the mode to preparing partnership agreements, Jakarta's migration to the Way of the Dutch, and one final disbursement for Kuala Lumpur to satisfy a request for addressing unpaid care...

...that are the are signed-off goals of the previous fiscal year as inscribed in the kudo board of one more departure from a weekly meeting on how to conclude an e-learning about the project cycle through a policy toolkit update, a barrage of docusign requests, reorganizing a cluttered Box folder, and strengthening a social protection framework.   

A dusty condensed report found a way to submission amidst the distraction of an academic appeal and remedial exams disguised as a box of old shoes for the garbage truck, its symphony of house chores crescendoing into a lecture on the vigil of Entered Apprentices over a broken column of wet tinumis, rancid chicharon, and an acidic kilaweng kambing, monuments of the Phantom Biker's 3-day classic that visitors from Pozzorubio rewarded with two new pair of shoes and an iPhone upgrade at the cost of 6 warm balut pieces.

SUBDIVIDED AND RELOCATED

13 pages were culled out of a 109-page report on sustainable finance  --- parsed, condensed, and subdivided into 3 lot parcels in Almaguer through a GPS survey instrument. 

It took 3 days but it was done despite an afternoon downpour and the army of red ants who revealed the encroachment that will require a relocation of 30-years old walls and embankments. 


Duplicates of the communique were slipped to Kuala Lumpur and Jakarta before it was dissipated by sign-offs. 

An annual development plan was edited for the last tme to initiate a year-end reporting process.

Emails were read and countered, Adobe repaired and Option 2 agreed through them, a mid-term review and docusigned too.

Somewhere between sentences, a vicenerian dropped 27 moons from Uranus on Ateneo de Manila University that got his van scratched, a gash so ugly not even the warmth of reheated pizza and the assurance of two dollar account deposits can mitigate so reinforcements of ginisang carne norte, dinner sisig, and carinderia tokwa't baboy were sought.

  

But the disappointment was intense, the frustration deep, and anger indignant they need to be exorcised in the trails leading to Labney, beyond Labney, to CLSU, beyond CLSU, to a birthday lunch of provocative pinakbet, inihaw na bangus, and an unexpected tapang usa...

ON THE WAGON IN JAKARTA

In the Tsukemen style, chilled ramen noodles are supposed to be dipped in a hot soup, like pushing back Melbourne before conceding to submit a revised annual development plan, one dish but served separately, like a stack of plates in a Nasi Padang dinner at Garuda and Sederhana Satrio, separate plates for an ayam pop (lightly fried chicken), beef rendang, gulai kepala ikan (fish head curry), gulai kikil (beef tendon curry), gulai ayam (chicken curry), and sambal cabe ijo (green chilli sambal) for one big meal.    



These festive hidang meals are like an express laundry service procured with borrowed Transjakarta service cards that somewhat moderated the enthusiasm of last week's bender as transcribed in a communique by a quintet of feather pens from the 19th floor of Jalan Marga Satwa Raya where a lame lunch of mie goreng ayam (stir-fried noodles with chicken) was cursed. 



Then it rained with acronyms --- a sober ANCP, abstinent MEAL, teetotaling PRISMA --- to catalyze two days of induction into a knowlege hub after two dry days of riding a thinking tank that got stopped by the green light for Option 2 --  freshly cooked and mildly spicy mie Aceh (Aceh noodles) that was tempered with a heated afternoon meeting and 10 skewers of sate kambing --- as printed in a boarding pass at the check-in counter of PR 536.



Temperance held for 4 days before succumbing with the Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon to Friday the 13th's temptous pritong tilapia at bangus in Bakal 2 where an angelic cashier worked out in Nueva Vista warehouse gym during the mass for a Sunday of the Forefathers...
