Reunion - Chapter 4: Dazed

After more than a month (or two?) Chapter 4, finally! hihihi...

I already have an idea for the next Chapter (and possibly the next), but I don't have the time to write it yet. I'm thinking there would probably be a few more chapters after that, an event and a confrontation. How it'll work out I'm not yet sure, so I won't get ahead of myself.

Comment are welcome, as always (I feel like I sound like a broken record already).

Enjoy!

====================================

Chapter 4: Dazed

"Jessie?"

I was surprised when I suddenly heard James speak. I must've been so deep in thought that I didn't even notice that he was standing right next to me. It was like a repeat of the first day.

"Oh sorry, I was just thinking of something. How long have you been there?"

Panaghoy

hanggang kailan kayang magtiis?
hanggang kailan kayang magtimpi?
hanggang kailan kaya ng damdamin
pigilan ang nararamdamang pighati?

hanggang kailan mangungulila?
hanggang kailan mangangamba?
wala na nga bang pag-asang
matagpuan ang katahimikang hangad?

I wanna run to you (when I need something)

From http://www.foximus.com/

I have, somewhat, accepted the fact that my family will, for the most part, only remember me when they need something. Still, it's unnerving at times when this is proven right.

Recently my brother had been messaging me on Facebook. He was asking where I am, how I am doing, and the like. It's very peculiar for my brother to suddenly ask me all these questions, primarily because we're not particularly the best of brothers. I felt that something was up, and it didn't take me a week to find out. After a few days, he messaged me on Facebook, asking if his wife can borrow some money.

Not that I am surprised. Like I said, I've long accepted the fact that family members only remember me when they need something. I did ask what the money was for, and he was more than happy to answer. In the end I agreed to lend them the money with the "assurance" that they'll pay me back eventually. (There were even messages that I received multiple times, i.e. where they can get the money or sheepishly denying why he was suddenly asking how I was, but I'll just think that it's the network provider who sent the messages multiple times).

I'm still alive. I just haven't been able to post anything lately.

It's been more than a month since my last post. Well, work and workout has been taking a lot of my time lately and so I haven't been able to churn any ideas for the next chapter of my ongoing series.

So what has been happening the past few weeks/months?
