podge who?

that is podge. also known as dave abaya. marc's brother. my sister says he looks bad. maybe so but really, i don't mind. he's a good musician but not really my kind. you know, to like.

anyway, i saw him a coupe of times in UP and around the campus but i never really had the guts to go near him and say hi. but on june4, 2008, i finally did.

he was walking alone with his earphones and his backpack walking along schmitt hall and i just got out from escaler hall readvised. my mind started to go wwIII; do i walk up to him and blab out "fuck man! i fucking know you and your BROTHER" or do i walk away? surprisingly, my legs decided faster than my mind and started marching towards him. holy crap, what do i say? wewewait! my mind started formulating shit to say!

note: not exact words in conversation. :)

leki: podge! hi.
podge (looking confused and taking out an earphone): uhh
leki: you know, i often see you in UP with brigada.
podge: oh?
leki: yeah, i hide behind trees.
podge (looking more creeped out than ever): huh? (smirk) yeah, we're there every wednesday afternoons.
leki: so, are you playing for orsem?
podge: what?
leki: are you playing for orsem?
podge: wala pa namang nag-iinvite sa amin. wala pang kumontact.
leki: what? that's not fair! and odd. oh anyway, remember my name will you? (that's embarassing but it came out of my mouth anyway, stupid ass. i hope i don't regret it.)
podge: sure.
leki: it's alex. (why didn't i say leki? i thought maybe he'd remember easier that name.)
podge: alex. okay.
leki: uhm, i gotta go, i have enlistment. (i don't, i just didn't have anything else to say. hahah. pathetic.)
podge: oh, okay.
leki: see ya. thanks!

and then i ran to faura, i think he was still saying something while i ditched him. hehehe. and then later i found out that he was going the same way, sa faura din. ahahaha. puta. so there. i think that made my day. literally. because i screwed up my only check and wasn't able to pay my tuition, i think i was too pre-occupied with our conversation. tae. it's like, i finished talking to him and then everything's over for the day. haha, nice knowing you podge. i hope you remember me. :'(
