Ariadne
Gia wanted this watch for quite some time now, she really
loves it. Determined to own it, she decided to cut our movie dates, dinners and
even simple hangouts (for she’ll never let me pay for everything). She’s counting
future paychecks, calculating how long will it take for her to save up for the
precious watch. I, being the persistent courter,
came up with an evil plan (well not that evil, but it involves me being mean at
some point). It can be simple as buying the watch, then gift wrap it and hand it
over to her, but where’s the fun in that?
I have to buy the watch without her knowing. She doesn’t
even have to know that I’ll go to the mall, she must be 100% clueless about
this. This is the hard part because for more than a month now, we see each
other almost every day; we know where the other is 24/7. Then I had a wicked
idea, I lied. To make it more sinister, I lied to make her anxious, when she
asked me where I was and that she wants to see me just before I go home from
work, I told her I can’t for I had to go someplace else, that I had to meet up
with this girl named “Arya”. She was dismayed, I can feel her disappointment, and
it made me feel uneasy, guilty. I can’t stand the fact that I can’t tell her
the reason for all this for it will spoil the surprise, and then everything
will be for naught. “Everything will be alright soon” I tell myself. So I went
to the mall and bought the watch, then on the way home, I gave in, I had to see
her, plus knowing the fact that I disappointed her just made me more worried. I
stopped by at her place; we talked for a while, her being clueless that her
watch is sitting cozily inside my backpack. She asked me who Arya is, I can hear
the anxiety on her voice, and I told her more lies. She can’t know that Arya is
in fact the name of the watch. (yes, I name stuff)
August 11th, the day has come. She leaves home
early in the morning for her morning shift. That gives me time to leave the
gift at her house and have her cousin, Camille, put it on her bed just before
she arrives later. Everything seems normal. We go to work, after that we went
to my cousin’s place to hang out, in which hang out means afternoon nap, tiring
day at work I guess. Then before I take her home, I have to make sure that we’ll
go to the mall. The main reason why I had to bring her to the mall is to check
up on the watch, which we usually do, checking if the watch is still there. So
I made up an excuse, I told her that I wanted to try this milk tea, she bought
the trap, and then off we go to the mall. While driving to the mall, she
noticed me texting all the time, which I don’t normally do when I’m with her,
it annoyed her. Perfect, the more disappointed she is now, the happier she’ll
be later. Up until to the mall, I was still busy fiddling with my phone, she’s
clueless that I’m actually texting Camille, telling her to prepare the
surprise. Again, I can sense her disappointment of my divided attention, but
she’s not disappointed enough. And now, the climax of my great deception! I led
her to the store, as we enter, she quickly scans the shelves, looking for her
beloved watch. It was gone. Somebody must have bought the last piece! Now we
all know who that somebody is… the drive home was a sad journey. She instantly saddens
every time she remembers her watch. I
was having a hard time concealing my laughter and amusement, she notices me,
but she only thinks I’m just being a child laughing at her for losing the
watch. She has no idea of what I’m really laughing about! There was a slight
flaw on my plan, Camille was not at their house at that time, and she won’t be
there when we arrive! Thankfully, she asked Gia’s dad in her stead to take the
gift from her cabinet to Gia’s bed. What the heck, I don’t even care if her dad
sees my cheesiest note attached to the gift as long as everything will go according
to plan. And there we were, in front of their house. We bid farewell as she got
out of the car. I watched as she disappears as she closed the door. I waited a
bit before I turn off the engine, she doesn’t know I was still there. I waited…
and then I heard screaming. Mission accomplished. Then I texted her to come out
and give me a hug.

Blah blah blah after a loooong time
What’s up FLIP!!... …. …. Hello? Anyone there? Jeeze, this blog is barren. Anyway, just a quick review of the latest transformers movie.
I’m still thinking if this one’s my favorite of the three, my mind is still unsure if it surpasses the first one. The action was there, awesome effects, funny and all that jazz. I just want to point out something here, and it’s about the “new chick”. I’m not a megan fox fan here, but compared to the “new chick” (which I don’t remember nor noticed her name and her character’s at all-and I can’t even be bothered to look her up in google which only proves how insignificant she is for me) I would say I liked megan fox better. Here’s a simple analogy; so we got megan fox who’s the hotwiring, body bending, decepticon killing chick who leaves a lasting impression-by this I’m referring to my memory of her leaning on bee in transformers 1 and her first scene in transformers 2, yup, the pretending-on-fixing-something-with-the-motorcycle-but-I’m-just-really-doing-this-so-i-can-flaunt-my-digitally-enhanced-killer-body-scene :D’’.
On the other hand we got the screaming bitch.
Thank you for reading and I hope that I’ll see more of me.
