Free Falling

This has happened to everyone so you can't say that this hasn't happened to you.  It's when you fall asleep and then you suddenly wake up because you have that feeling of falling ... ahhh yes that feeling.

Well it's all good and dandy, and quite normal for us to have that reaction and feeling when we do fall asleep.  But it's not good when you're in public or around people in close quarters!

As usual I fell asleep on the train.  I was sitting in those two seater seats so I could lay my head on the bars without falling on the person next to me.  Had a nice sleep going and all of a sudden I had that falling down feeling, you're probably dying with anticipation as to what I did next huh? 

So sleeping there and as I was waking up from the falling down feeling, I hop in my seat, so I got about 1 or 2 inches of air off of the seat, but that wasn't the "big deal."  The big deal was when I did that, my arms kind of went and did their own thing.  I ended up throwing an elbow into the arm of the person next to me!!!

I'm just glad that it wasn't some thug or someone who was capable of kicking my (_|_).  It was some spanish guy who seemed very quiet and all. 

As I hopped in my seat with my arms going crazy, my eyes opened since I suddenly woke up.  I realized that I just hit the guy next to me so I pretended to go back to sleep!  While my eyes were open for all of two seconds, I did notice that everyone was looking at me and the guy next to me made a grunting noise as I hit him.  While I was fake sleeping I could hear him rubbing his arm on top of his jacket assuming that was where I elbowed him.  I heard people laughing as I faked sleeping again ... only to fall back asleep and almost missing my stop!

Ahhh well just another story to add to my book.  I hope that spanish guy is alright, dang it'll be awkward if I ever see him again.  I'm sure he'll remember that guy who elbowed him for no reason.

Jolli freakin' Bee

One of the things that I gave up for Lent was Jollibee, but I found out last year that Sunday's are not counted during Lent because they are like mini Easters, so I can have Jollibee on Sunday's but it's a good idea not to since you don't want to fall into it and want it even more.

It started out as a stop for some food, and I noticed a Jollibee in the middle of the shopping plaza.  Immediately I made a "bee" line (get it ... bee line hhAHA!) towards the front door.  They were about to close in a few minutes and there was still a good number of people there.

I got in line and noticed that there were some new things on the menu.  The thing that caught my eye was the Orange Mango pie.  Finally got to the register and I was served by Alfredo who thought I was white and tried to talk to me with the best "white" accent he could.  The lady behind me in line even said something about it being time for the English menu.  

Then I started ordering in Tagalog and he was pleasently surprised and I proceeded to order five Orange Mango pies, five Banana Lanka pies and one order of Spaghetti Joy.  I tried to order fried rice, but Alfredo said that since it was so close to closing time that they didn't have any.

I waited for a little while and then got my food.  Before I walked out the front door I took out one of the Orange Mango pies and opened the carton to take a bite.  As I was about to take a bite and I could smell the pie ... my alarm clock goes off and it was all just a dream, dammit.
