The Oracle and The Architect
An SMS conversation dated March 7:
Friend: Pangalan mo sa phone ko, Oracle. Si —— ay the Architect. (Your name in my phone, Oracle. —— is the Architect.)
Me: Wow! Eh di ibig sabihin lagi kami at war niyan? (Wow! So that means we’re always at war?)
Friend: Yes, without the knowledge that one complements the other
.
No, we haven’t really been at war with one another. But as days pass and we get into more conversations (tons of talks we’ve had over seemingly random topics that were actually roundabout ways of getting into one place), all the more I realize it does make sense: I am the Oracle and he is the Architect in our own matrix. Two souls whose lives are intertwined but will never really be together, simply because we aren’t. Not because of the meaningfulness, the rightfulness, the wrongness, the should-haves, the ought-tos, or the untimeliness. We just aren’t.
I’ll have to describe both personalities.
Sunday Drinking Spree
Last Sunday after my Microbiology and Parasitology class, my classmates invited me to hangout at Pier One Bar and Grill. When I asked them what would they be doing they said, “magkwekwentuhan lang naman”. Since I had nothing to do that night I decided that a little chat wouldn’t hurt so I tagged along. We immediately went to the Fort to look for Pier One, after reaching the bar we asked for a couple of San Mig Light but then we the waiter wouldn’t serve us. When we asked why he told us he can’t because we were still wearing our scrubs (seriously, wtf?!). We offered to let them see our ID’s to prove that we were old enough to have a drink. I was thinking, I’m 22 and I was the youngest among the bunch (some of my classmates even have kids in high school) and they wouldn’t serve us beer! Later the waiter told us that it was city ordinance not to serve alcoholic drinks to those who are in uniform (yep, even those in the military). Kudos to them for upholding a lousy city ordinance

Ma Mon Luk this time
I had a chance to eat again at one of my fave restos in the city, Ma Mon Luk Restaurant. Their remaining brach is at Banawe, Quezon Avenue. And I can’t help but reminisce on my childhood.
Before the boom of the fastfood industry, our family used to dine frequently at Ma Mon Luk Restaurant after shopping at Cubao (which was the in place during the 80’s) . I could still see myself sitting on the high chair anticipating for my siopao and enjoying the aroma of the place. …[more]
