Form and Substance

Friend and I went to her office.

I said: Would you like me to just wait here? (Crossing my fingers that Friend would say yes… para maiba naman…)

Two long, designer seats at each side of the hall… Hmm… I can smell the comfort and solitude of waiting… not to mention the occasional coming of people aiming for the lifts.

Me began to sit, while friend starts for the lift door.

Squeakkkkk….

Friend reacts…

What to do, I said… Either I am too heavy for them, or they're just too weak for people like me.

Good-looking seats do not serve its substance… too bad… Now wishing Friend will be back soon.

Me sits down and took PSP… Dance folder… Crystal Waters (my flavor-of-the-month song… Destination Calabria)… power indicator flashes…. Ooopppsss… I didn’t charge it last night… now I have 10 (or 15 minutes) to drool over her song).

Silence.

Me eyes surveyed the room and finds out: hmmm…. Now is the right time to take my trip on these auto-doors. Me have always wondered how far is your distance before it opens…

Me being playful that day, started to go away from the door. Far enough… Faced the door and stepped right foot forward towards the door, as if it’s a dance step. Me is making. Door did not open… One step closer… Left foot… No open… Right foot… No open… Left foot… Voila! Open!

M.A. Mission Accomplished.

Bores.

Me sits down really slow, so sofa won’t squeak. It still did.

Footsteps.

Guard passes by… I think I saw him half-grinning, half-smiling at me.

Me smiled back… Oh well, people maybe jolly for it’s the New Year…

Or. Maybe...

Maybe he saw me, dancingly playing with the doors…. And me grinned, too.

Lift opens…

Friend and I walked out the door.

Me told friend about the little dance.

Friend said: Ahhhh… so that’s probably why they were laughing there at the monitor room.

Ooopppsss…

So someone saw me did the dance… So what? I de-stressed and I made them happy…

Happy Me…
