monique

matagal ko nang gustong gawin to, on the day that i met her.

i met her on the set of a tv show we were shooting out of town. i fell in love with her at first sight. all day i was literally begging her ward to give her to me, to the point that i was offering money. haha!

in the end, we struck a bargain. her, in exchange for future job "rackets" for him. fair enough...hope i could find the chance to fulfill my end of that bargain!

so ngayon, happily together kami ni monique. i named her "monique" because if i were to be born again i'd want that to be my name. hehe. ganon ko kamahal si monique, parang alter ego ang tingin ko sa kanya. ;-)

too bad for our other kitty in the house, who was my baby before monique came into the picture. her name's aleli (pinangalanan ko sya after a character in one of the Direk's award-winning opuses!) and she's lovable enough. pero masama ako, kasi matagal na kong naghahanap ng ideal cat ko, at marami nang dumaang pusa sa buhay ko pero iilan lang ang tumatak (para bang lalake ito? fortunately--or unfortunately--wala pa namang masyadong maraming lalake ang nagdaan sa buhay ko, pero marami na rin namang tumatak. hehe). i love cats in general but i fawn on a few truly beautiful ones. and aleli, for a while, was quite loved. simply because she was the only cat to love within the premises. until my ideal cat came along. alam ko ang sama pero aleli was inadvertently relegated to the background.

ampangit no. buti na lang si aleli, hindi tao. wala syang understanding ng favoritism, o ng mga kasong magiging special ka sa isang tao dahil ikaw lang ang nandyan. being loved out of convenience. you are not his/her ideal, but since you're the only one there, the person figures that you will do. for the meantime. until the Ideal One comes along.

ouch! sakit non di ba.
hmm. baka naman ina-underestimate ko lang ang mentality ng mga pusa. baka naman alam ni aleli ang dynamics ng sitwasyon, pero ang totoo, wala syang pakialam. isa yon sa mga gusto ko sa mga pusa. they don't give a shit whether you like them or not!
