Allow Me to Digress

… in days gone by,

when hope was high and life worth living,

I dreamed that love will never die,

I dreamed that God will be forgiving…

Anyway, my dream is nothing related to the song by Fantine  - I just feel like singing it.  (If they say life is a stage, I believe mine’s a big musical production.  And I do believe that God is forgiving. ;)  But I did have a really weird dream last night about a craving I have since I got here.  A friend said she’ll be sending me something for school and I joked about sending me pizza as well.  I took Pizza Hut for granted when I was in Manila.  (It has to be the "cheesy volcano" pizza.)  You don’t know what you got ’til it’s gone.  They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.  I doubt if pizzas can be sent from Manila to where I am right now but at least she could try.  I told my friend I was just joking she need not send me pizza (nahiya rin naman ako di ba? but she seemed serious.  I did not realized how excited I was about that pizza until I dreamed about it. 

…but the tigers come at night,

with their voices soft as thunder,

as they tear your hopes apart,

as they tear your dream to shaaaaaaaaaaaaamme.

This is what happened in my dream.  The pizza arrived and I was very happy that I was going to share it with the people here where I "work."  As soon as I opened the box a bunch of ragged children came from nowhere and started touching the pizza!  So they don’t only do it on French fries… 

Les miserables.

I remember feeling really bad but then I just gave the pizza away - but not easily.  I gave the children a brief lecture on manners first.  I remember telling them something like, "sa susunod, sabihin nyo lang kung gusto nyo. Madali naman ako kausap. Hindi tama yang ginagawa nyo inuunahan nyo naman ako e.  Tingnan nyo ni isang slice hindi na ako makakakain nyan."

Oh my life
Is changing everyday
In every possible way

And oh my dreams
It’s never quite as it seems
Never quite as it seems

Back to reality, as to the pizza, if you believe in interpretation of dreams you would probably say to me - Dream on!  (And get over that boy who took your fries away!) La signorina Choa e pazza.  Ms. Choa is crazy.  Ciao, pizza.

This post is dedicated to Ate Jeny who may be too busy to read my blog but I believe wouldn’t be too busy to make a lonely soul here happy with a pizza.:)
