Romance is Insane
Today's Musical Inclination: 112 - Cupid
Cupid Cupid doesn't lie
But you won't know unless you give it a try
Oh baby, true love won't lie but we won't know
Unless we give it a try, give it a try
-Gah. We went to this wedding yesterday and I heard this song like three times or more. It's nice yeah, but, well... I shall elaborate anyway.
------------------------------
At some point during our close family friend's wedding, I felt like heading for the door and running like hell away from there. No, it wasn't the food, or the place, or the company, all of which were excellent. What concerned me was the music. It's not that it sucked. Quite the contrary, it was your typical wedding music. But that's just it. I don't like wedding music. Well I do, but I don't.
Wedding music makes me feel "romantic"... or queasy. Or both. I'm guessing both. Anyway, when I get like that, I tend to think of her. I try not to, but I always end up doing so anyway, and I don't like that. I don't like thinking of her. I hate thinking of her. Mind, I don't hate her, I just don't like being reminded that I'm utterly and totally screwed for the rest of my life because the universe has conspired against me and so it has been fated that I may never be with her in that-sort-of-way for as long as we both shall live. Amen.
That's ok though. I mean, love is so weak. It's an utterly horrible experience. Never in my life do I feel any weaker than when my mind is flooded with such awful pseudo-romanticisms. And believe you me, I don't like being weak. Call me weird, but that just isn't something that I, on the whole, enjoy.
------------------------------
Completely Wrong Thought of the Day: So it's 12mn, we're headed to Paranaque all the way from Pampanga. We're stuffed from the wedding, mostly from the desserts, although there was this tapioca pudding that me and my sister really wanted to try. Unfortunately, we ran out of the stuff fairly quickly. I think it's a fair assessment to say that the stuff must have been pretty good; my sister claims to have seen her ninong devour one plate in only five spoonfuls.
Anyway, on our way home, mom got this idea to get some Chinese food for dad. Being the only male in the vehicle other than the driver, I was tasked to step out of the car and buy the food. The driver would of course be needed for moving the car around in no-parking-space situations, such as we had last night, ergo I was the obvious second choice. So I got there and ordered, but the food took forever. I must have spent 45 minutes in there. While I handle waiting quite well, I can be a little insane sometimes. Ok, a lot insane. In those 45 minutes, I came up with this musical in my head, a musical that encapsulates my experience in the Chinese restaurant.

The Park of the North
Me: I would like to buy some Chinese food
I came here 'cause I heard this place was good
Lady A: Very good choice sir, right this way!
What would you like to order today?
Me: I would like some salted fish fried rice
Lady A: Excellent choice sir, that's quite nice!
Me: And an order of your toast chow mein
Lady A: Sure, but be wary, the sauce stains
Me: Last I would like fish fillet hot pot
Lady A: I've got all your orders, this is what you've got
Rice and noodles and some fish
I shall return carrying your wish...
Me: Waiting, waiting, waiting
Waiting, waiting, waiting
I am waiting
So frustrating
This is getting irritating
Let's see what I can relating
All these critics overrating
While the democrat is stating
Something something in debating
That other guy's lowest rating
This place is asphyxiating
All these worms should make good baiting
People staring, why they hating?
Man I feel like mastur--
Lady A: We're sorry sir, your food will be ready in a while
Me: Hurry up with that! I've been waiting forever!
Wise Old Waiter: What is forever but a day that does not end?
A leaf that never falls or a line that does not bend?
Forever might take up until the earth kisses the moon
But worry not, for in this case, forever's merely soon...
Me: But I'm still waiting!
Lady B: Oh you've come at a very bad time...
Me: Prepostorous! I am guilty of no crime!
Restaurant Crew: Oh yes you are!
Me: Oh no I'm not!
Restaurant Crew: Oh yes you are!
Me: Oh no I'm not!
Restaurant Crew: Then how did our delivery boy get shooooottttt????!?!?!!!!
Me: You can't pin that act on me!
I've been waiting for eternity!
I've been sitting here all this time,
I could not have done that crime!
Lady B: You are speaking bullshit! Wait... the hell?!
This boy has just shot himself!
We're so sorry sir, you are so right
Here is your food now have a good night...
*Applause*

Ela's conclusions on weddings:
i will not go to one not unless it's me, or my friends who will be married.

Wedding makes me feel sad and afraid at the same time. Somehow, my mind tells me i'll never be wed...
