what's P75 nowadays...


What is the cost of happiness nowadays? For me, it’s P75, the cost of pirated DVD in Makati Cinema Square. Over the weekend, I was jumping for joy when I got hold of Prison Break Season 2. As soon as I got home at around 8 pm, I loaded the DVD in the disc tray and I was in cloud nine already. Following the story of Wentworth Miller a.k.a. Michael Schofield was riveting, and I must say it was better than sex, Heck! I spend more than P75 to get laid and it would be over in 20 minutes or less, while I paid P75 for the fucking disc and I was done 8 hours later, around 4 am, that’s a loooong foreplay and a roller coaster ride to orgasm. It even beats going out on Saturady nights, which i haven't done for quite sometime because a bottle of beer costs P100 in Greenbelt. Wentworth Miller is the sexiest guy for me nowadays, he replaced Channing Tatum in my constant changing list. I can’t hardly wait for Season 3, and as my good friend Tenten said, it has just started on Fox TV. As much as I want to download episodes on iTV, I don’t have a working credit card. January is almost over, I have overcome my bouts with depression, and thank God I accidentally threw away my supply of Zoloft and Paxil when I was moving out of my old place, so I read in Vogue the ad of Zoloft, and yes, 2 weeks is the usual running time of what could be a clinical depression. I was able to finish a research study, and I hope to be up and about by February. Bills are mounting, and I have already placed my dream pad out in the market, that’s P3.5 million worth of happiness, or maybe it is God telling me to let go of all possessions, especially material ones, I am even parting away with my precious finds such as a Louis Vuitton leather bag, and maybe my Rafe Totengco collection as well. I will be soon visiting my agency friends to sell clothes again, after not seeing them for amost 2 years, I will be hawking again stuff. And I am looking forward to that, it tide me over for 6 years of not working, selling them things, just now that I have to raise a bigger amount of money for my monthly rent. I still have my Vogue and Vanity Fair to buy, so I guess I have to forego lunch once in a while, rethinking one’s priority is challenging. As I encountered in Prison Break about low latent inhibition, a gift that Wentworth Miller used to his advantage, I guess I have to use mine, and if combined with creativity, I will surpass whatever life throws my way. I am a survivor, and just like a rat who lives down under the sewage, I might even make it despite the eminent global warming. Sorry Eva, but even if I love the photo of your paellita, I will keep my beefcake, we are going on 4 years, and it has ended and restarted and ended and restarted, and just like Prison Break, I am hoping to make it to the next season. And with my last P75, I will still get that pirated DVD in Makati Cinema Square. That is, cheap happiness.
