Dear Joey,
Ganun na nga natapos ang kuwento natin.
Sa dulo ay hindi nakita ng prinsipe ang hinahanap niyang nawawalang prinsesa na may mahabang buhok.
Bagkos ay nangapuwing kami sa sumabog na mga upos ng sigarilyo at nasamid sa alak na biglaang sumirit mula sa sisidlan nating mga mortal.
Ni hindi ka nagparamdam na aalis ka.
Ang huling mga usapan natin ay mga habilin sa mga planong bubuuin, mga report na hahabulin, at mga proyektong bubunuin.
Susubukan namin.
Pipiliting idikit ang mga pahinang marahas na napilas at tatangkaing dugtungan ang mga biglaang naputol bagamat alam naming ikaw lang ang kasya sa iniwan mong upuan.
Hindi kami sanay na kami lang.
Hindi kami sanay na silipin ka maya’t-maya sa malalim mong paghimbing.
Hindi kami sanay na wala ka na.
“Matatanda na kayo”.
Oo, pero sa aming mga matatanda ay ikaw ang nakaupo sa ulo ng hapagkainan na ang pagkalinga at pagmamalasakit ay lubos na nagpagaan sa aming kalooban.
Ayos na sana. Pero biglang nagkagan’un.
Humayo ka ng mapayapa. Pangako, aalagaan namin ang mga umusbong na bulaklak mula sa iyong mga bakas.
Pero ngayon, pagbigyan mo muna kaming timplahin ang mapait na kape sa patak ng aming mga luha…
…dahil hindi madali para sa amin ang makasanayang wala ka na nga…
First there was Google who provided 3 hits:
Axis Global Technologies along 20 North Road corner 3rd Avenue in Cubao
and
Servimax at 2/F Unit G of Commercial Plaza along Gilmore Avenue in New Manila.
But netizens advised that Axis caters mostly to company clients...
...and gave a mixed review on Servimax.
So I opted for Red Dot Philippines somewhere along Dasmarinas corner Quintin Paredes Streets in Binondo.
I like the name.
Besides, I heard it before from longtime Olympus user Usec. Fred Serrano.
Unfortunately, the map I used to find Red Dot seems to be outdated.
So I ended up chasing streets with new names, getting squeezed in traffic along Claro M. Recto avenue, missing a corner turn on Reina Regente and ending up running over a huge concrete slab in Divisoria, before finally squeezing into a parking lot somewhere in Binondo.
The good side is I was able to reshoot San Beda Church during one of those unintended street turns.
Red Dot is just around the Binondo Church but I have to pass that (including Quiapo's church) as the glue is still fresh on my re-attached (and taped) camera button.
I like their service too...
Wikipedia says that the lyrics of this Maroon 5 dance pop hit "refer to a male's ability to impress a female with his dance moves which [Maroon 5] compares to those of Mick Jagger" of the legendary Rolling Stones.
Is that it?
You gyrate like a zombie with an eternal itch in the balls and hordes of adoring females will throw their panties at you?
But although I find Mick Jagger's appeal to be not to my standards of a Casanova, he is a rock star and he's got a belt of pussy conquests to prove that.
My boss is also some kind of a rock star in our world of brown stones versus deep greens.
And I am of unshakeable belief that he moves like Jagger although in a sustainable way and swagger.
What remains to be seen is if he's got that belt too.
