25th of March 2008
The night was not filled with stars [for it was raining] because the stars were on stage for the much coveted title of MS. SNA. The night was the pre-pageant part of the search. It took until 11:30 in the evening because of certain unpredictable events! [the rain and the shortcircuit]. But, it paid-off. In my humble opinion, that evening was a success!
So we all went home, tired but happy. Ann and Ruth were to sleep over at our house. So we had our lights off, still chatting. Then, I went to my room.
After a while, my phone beeped. Ruth texted me and said we need to go back to school. The reason for this: she forgot to put off the computer of Sir Joseph! Poor Ruth.
So I went to their room, feeling sleepy. After countless texts and calls to others asking for KuyaTata's number, Ruth finally decided to really go back to school.
So we went, sneaking for my Ma or Tella might hear us going out late in the evening, I think that was already 1:30 am. The gates were locked. How unfortunate of us! We were like homeless kittens waiting for trash to scavenge if there were traces of food to fill our hungry stomachs.
Alas! Sir Manny has Kuya Tata's number. So Ruth texted him -with hope in her face- so he could open the gates. But the number did not exist according to the computer generated reply of the cellular provider.
She then decided to go to the back of the school [Kuya Tata stayed at the rear end of the school]. We were calling his name, but he was sound asleep. We had a plan -a tremendous and ingenious plan- Ruth would call his name, Ann would pick-up stones, and I would throw the stones at his door. But the plan did not work. Poor us. So we walked away heading home. We were like prostituted persons [sorry for the term] walking at the silence of the road, waiting for customers.
After sometime, we decided to just go home. The Church opened at 5 in the morning, so I told them that our last resort was to go to school at a very early time. So we went back home, sneaking.
But we were almost caught by my mom, so I made alibis. That I went to their room to get something. But I did not know that she saw them too and she thought that they were leaving. So I made alibis that they were just [I think] going to the comfort room.
That was 3 in the morning.
Ann told me that she woke up at 5 and saw Ruth sleeping like a baby in the bosom of an angel [okay, okay I'm exaggerating], thus, she went back to sleep.
At last, Ruth was awake but at around quarter to 8! Thought they did not find out the computer was still on? You're way totally wrong Sir Joseph got there before Ruth! hehe
It was such an adventure! Tough luck for us!
Moral of the story, never open the computer not assigned to you!
