a rendezvous with EDSA

i have a new baby. iSaac the iPod Touch. he was a birthday surprise. his coming really was and still is.

3 days of having iSaac in my ears and fingertips:
  • i was in the bus on my way home at 3 am. just got out from work and was really sleepy.
  • prior to that, i went to bench's place with the whole fellowship to talk about 'the company.'
  • prior to that, i didn't sleep at all.
  • back to the bus at 3 am.
  • slept with iSaac the iPod in my ears. zzzz
  • then i woke up with a fat guy beside me, his hands in my bag pocket almost getting his grip on iSaac. ok lang ba siya? i braced myself to superBark then mustered the only thing i could say - p#$%@* kang magnanakaw ka. then my elbow went wiggly and hit his side and as he ran for the closed door, i gave him a good pat on the back.
  • the bus doors didnt open for him quickly. i was so bored i slept again after he just got down.
  • remembering to assure iSaac that he is safe. i remember albert's column years ago about his jeepney stuck in his world or i think it was the other way around. it was about people in a jeepney having seen a thief snatch the bag off a lady and while the woman suffers the fate of her lost objects, the people muster under their breaths their own humiliating idiosyncrasies but none really helped out the one who needed it.
sigh. im just happy iSaac is safe.
