dream recall

just woke up. been awake for not more than 30 minutes. and no, i didnt go online just to blog, i had to check my email (i cant go for more than a day without checking my email, and if i do, it bothers me, its like, i cant stop thinking how i can go online...so that's partly what's in my head when im out of town and there's no PC or internet connection around).

anyway, i just had this dream. not really weird. well, probably weird for most people's standards, but i would call it not usual.

so here i was. where exactly? korea! i have no idea why im there but im there. well, someplace more of koreatown (if there is a korean equivalent for chinatown). i figured im in "koreatown" because everyone's korean and i kept asking for directions and how to read the billboards/signs since they are in korean letters. so it started with me inside a room with other koreans. i think there were four of them (2 females and 2 males, one female was preganant). so five of us in a room. so what were we doing? something like an investigation. so there was this guy asking us questions. and like a movie, they spoke in english (well, in my dream, they spoke Tagalog) but the viewers know that its only done for convenience so there would be no need for subtitles. so, the interrogations went on, leading to the fact that the pregnant lady was the primary suspect for the death of her second husband. her first husband died too for undisclosed reasons. as for the other two, they were just there, i guess, also suspects. as for me, i have no idea what the crap's happening. it is as if im just a bystander and they didnt mind me being around. heck, there was even a yoga session for one the koreans to prove that she's really attending yoga sessions. so a yoga instructor arrives and do some yoga stuff. funny, that didnt look like yoga to me, but no one objected.

interrogation ends, all of us come out of the room. i was the last. so here i was going down a flight of stairs, catching up with the korean guy who was with me at the interrogation to ask him a question. and the question is: what brand of DVD player do you recommend? so the korean guy says, "i dont know". i explained, "i want to make sure i buy a good one since if i come back to the Philippines, i wont be able to return it or have it fixed in case in breaks down". ok, so im in korea, in my dream, just to buy a DVD player?

so i continue walking down the stairs, overtaking the pregnant korean since she's walking slowly. but after i pass her, i looked back and looked up at her. she's pretty. and she's just standing with a confused look on her face. holy crap! i think she's dizzy and she's at the topmost flight of the steps! so, like in the movie, she falls but fortunately, i was there to catch her. how nice.

so i assist her to a bench (where for some reason, the other two koreans we were just with were also sitting there) and ask her if she's ok. she's not responding. she's just staring at me blankly. so i keep asking her, is she ok? but she just kept sitting there. then, she suddenly made gestures and started speaking some korean syllables. wow, just like in some movies, the language suddenly shifts to korean just to show there's a language barrier. so i couldn't understand a thing she was saying. but i think she was telling the other koreans to go away. why? because after the gestures/signals and a bit of korean whatever-its-supposed-to-be, the two moved away. so we had some privacy. so i asked her again, is she ok? she said yes. finally, back to a language i understood. now that she's feeling better, im going to ask her the question that i need to ask so i could fulfill my purpose in this dream. but i didnt, i asked a different question. so, instead of asking for the good quality DVD players, i asked her out to lunch. what the? ok, im going out with a widowed pregnant could-be-murderer. at least she's a pretty korean chick.

ok, so we went to her van. yes, she drives a van. and i offered to drive it since i thought, making her drive might aggravate her pregnant condition. so i was about to drive the van and told her she gives me the direction to where she wants to eat. she says, "ok". and as i was about to get out the parking lot, i ask her whether i should turn right or turn left. no response. she's doing it again! i looked at her and she's pretending to be asleep! what the? this is some psycho bitch. so i turned the van around went back to the place we came from and parked the van near the two koreans we were just with who are now having coffee with some friends. they saw me with the pregnant chick, and they said, "are you willing to take such a risk?" and from the tone of their voice, it seems they were friends with the pregnant lady, who suddenly is awake now, smiling. this is some crazy bitch. anyway, the two added that she murdered her two husbands. so they knew, and they didnt want to tell it to the investigator guy. and you know what i said? i said "yes". and i added, "not much of a risk actually, its either i kill her first or she kills me". and one of them responded, "now that's some relationship". after a little more exchanges, i was really convinced to take this girl out even if she's some psycho killer.

i had to wake up. i was planning to watch TMNT.

memory fragment

i remember when i was a kinder student of saint anthony learning center (SALC), now known as School of Saint Anthony (SSA), my kinder teacher asked us to go to sleep (i dont know if other schools also do this). and being the obedient kid that i am (well, not very obedient actually, because a year later, when i was elevated to prep, i refused to go in front of the class and recite. my prep teacher had to pull me off my seat, only to give up because i kept going back to my seat), i did sleep! i mean, my teacher had to ask my seatmate to wake me up. i think her name starts with the letter H. it wasnt a common name. ok, im digressing. going back, to the sleep "order", now that i remember it, it got me asking, why? why ask the kinder students to sleep? i mean, back then, we didnt ask that, we just do what the teacher tells us to do. i think that's what my mother told me. just follow your teacher's instructions. ok, maybe its just a way of saying, "kids, its time to take a break, but this isnt recess so stay put! i dont want to see any of you running around". and since would be bored just staying put and sitting around, why not sleep, right? i dont know. just crossed my mind

dream recall

maybe i should start recording some of my dreams. i dont know. seems like an idea. not sure if its good or bad.

just had this dream a few days ago. i was going to watch a movie, which i do...habitually lately. so nothing strange there. went in the cinema house, and started looking for a seat. while looking for one, a girl on my left called me by my name. i looked at her. i dont know her, but apparently she knows me. she asked whether i could accompany her. obviously she's alone, and most likely she knew so was i. seeing that there wasnt a vacant seat beside her, i just kept walking and looking for a seat. so she then said that i save her a seat. ok fine. so i looked for two vacant adjacent seats. and when i found one, called her, and we watched the movie together. wow, that dream really felt nice. when i woke up, i was happy i dreamt that. i like those kind of dreams that just puts you into a good mood when you wake up in the morning. its not one of those that you like so much you want to go back to sleep and dream again. its simply the type of dream that brings the good mood on an unpredictable day. anyway, later that day, went to see a movie, Turistas. it was nothing like my dream, not that i was expecting it to happen but, it would have been nice. anyway, so far, that's the dream i can think of at the moment. no other dream seem to be standing out aside from that.

another strange feeling

that was weird. a few hours ago, i felt like i was with a rocker chick. what rocker chick? exactly my point. why did i feel i just spent some time with a rocker chick when i dont know anyone like that or someone i could associate with a rocker chick? it didnt feel like the strange feeling i had before (the remembering the future type of feeling). its like that feeling you get when you're doing a recap of the day, and savoring the good things that happened earlier that day. and im very sure i didnt spend a day with a rocker chick. where did that thought come from? i have no idea. anyway, the feeling just last for less than a minute. it just didnt make sense why it popped up in my head and where it came from.
