imaginary friend
Originally uploaded by driver ng bayan.

I’m flying down south early tomorrow morning - I’ll be there until Wednesday or Thursday. It’ll be a blast, I’m sure, but I have a slight problem.

I’ve still got some business to take care of here in Manila. No, it’s not really urgent, but I’d still like to get it done soon. I thought I could take care of it before I left for this trip, but things just didn’t fall into place. Now it’ll really just have to wait.

If there were two of me, this wouldn’t be a problem. That simply isn’t the case though, and it will never be - at least not in this lifetime. Besides, I’m sure that would bring about its own set of problems. One that comes to mind immediately is my food bill. I spend a crazy amount of money on food as it is - some say I regularly eat for two - and that’s without anybody else tagging along. I don’t earn near enough to feed two of me.

For now, the image on the right is probably the closest any of you will get to seeing my clone. Since we’re already letting our imaginations fly, I’ve thrown in a friend of mine with a brilliant head and twinkling eyes. I think his skin is a bit too light and that he’s too thin (thinner than I am), but who am I to talk? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder - and a friend of mine has already professed her undying love for, or let’s not get carried away, her crush on my friend. Anybody else care to meet him?
