⇏ F R O S T
I'm not a fan of books.
I'm not the type of person who relates every written words or poetries in my life, but I do appreciate the beauty of it.
My eyes don't go wow when I see a nice book cover from a book store. My nose doesn't even like the smell of pages being flipped, but I do love the sound of it. I don't read books at all simply because I'm lazy. Books look like pillows to me, as soon as I start reading, I fall asleep.
I'm more of a movie person. When I want to relax and spoon feed my entertainment, I watch movies or TV series. I love watching stuffs like gore and slasher because it distracts me from reality, my reality. Horror movies taught me a lot especially not to be Dumb.
Yes, with a capital D.
"Sana all may isip." Chandler suddenly spoke when he caught me spacing out.
"Hanggang sana all ka na lang talaga kahit kailan." Asar ko sa kaniya.
Nagmake face lang siya sa akin. He placed a tray filled with fries and burgers on our table. Then I saw a Sprite in a can, what the hell. "Sorry ka, they ran out of your favorite root beer."
Nasapo ko na lang ang noo ko. Why is this cafeteria doesn't have enough stock of my favorite drink? Three days na akong hindi nakaka-inom ng root beer. Para akong made-dehydrate!
"Okay na nga 'yan! Umupo ka na, chikahan tayo!" Sinenyasan ko pa siyang umupo sa harapan ko. "I just rewatched my favorite classic horror movie film." I took a sip of my drink. "The Exorcist!"
"Thought your holy grail was The Silence of the Lambs?" Nagsimula na siyang kumain habang hinihintay ang sagot ko.
"Well, I just realized I like it better. I love the thought behind it, never doubt your faith." I quoted in the air. Natawa si Chandler sa akin.
He's not into horror films pero handa siyang makinig sa mga kwento ko tungkol doon. More on pabebe movies lang kasi siya kaya minsan hindi kami nagkakasundo. Lalo na kapag naiisip naming mag-movie marathon, we always fight which movie to play.
Palibhasa walang jowa kaya panay nood ng romance films. Doon na lang kasi siya kinikilig. Kawawa naman.
"Ikaw? Still can't move on from Titanic?" I chuckled.
"Nah, don't mention it. That shit's heartbreaking." The Jack Dawson wannabe pouted. Sobrang idol niya talaga si Leonardo DiCaprio, sinubaybayan niya lahat ng movies no'n. Can't blame him, he's a really good actor though. "Plus I love that movie not just because it's romantic, it also talks about capitalism and how greedy people can be."
That's why I like that movie as well pero hindi kagaya ni Chandler, naka-move on ako agad kasi nga just like what I've said I'm nothing but a horror freak.
"Let's ride a ship someday, I want to recreate the iconic scene with you." Tinaasan niya pa ako ng kilay na para bang nang-aasar.
"The draw me like one of your French girls scene?! Utot mo, Chandler!" As if namang maghuhubad ako sa harapan niya para lang i-drawing ako 'no! Duh!
"The 'Jack, I'm flying' scene. Siraulo." He rolled his eyes at me. Okay sorry, mas tumatak kasi sa akin yung nabanggit ko.
Pero the scene that Chandler mentioned, it was so romantic. I also want to feel that kind of freedom with your special someone whom you really trust.
"So you wanna kiss me?" Si Chandler naman ang inasar ko ngayon.
"Only if you want me to." Sagot niya naman.
