Hay it's been so long na naman since I've updated although I keep having weird dreams. This one is just too weird not to be posted here.
First of all, I dreamt that I was at work, then somehow, I got involved in some kind of strike. Later, we were in some kind of bargaining thing where we were being sued or something, so I ended up having to defend ourselves. For some reason, Andrea Domingo, BID commisioner, was there too, and she looked impressed.
Later, I went to a basketball court, where my boyfriend, who was apparently this black guy who used to coach a local beer's basketball team, and we were so relieved that I was ok that we ended up kissing. Ok, first of all, eww? And second of all, eww. Only one boy can touch my lips. ;) Then he gave me a thousand five hundred bucks to go to three places.
Then for some reason, I was in this movie set, but the movie has been finished already, and I was in some sort of a tram, and while going past some trees, I realized that it was a location for one of The Amazing Race's detours, because clues were hanging from the tree! So I was all excited, and I was looking behind, presumably at the camera, so that I could shout excitedly at my sister that this was a TAR location!
As we went on, we were apparently in Brazil, and there was this body of water that had these humongous piranhas there. And yes, I know those are tiny, but they were large here! And since the water was so clear, I could really see them in the water. To avoid them, I went inside this building. But the thing was, the piranhas would go out of the water and walk into the building. You know why? So they could drink water from the fountain there!
So odd.

Some of the weirder dreams in recent days:
ONE:
I was on some kind of tour with my mom, but we were staying only in BF Paranaque (that's like 5 kms away from our place). We were at this clubhouse. My mom wanted to join a shopping tour (with my mom, but naturally! heh). Thing is, when you turn right, it goes to Malaysia. On the left, it goes to Singapore.
And that's not all. While waiting in the clubhouse, EVERYONE from Formula One went there, in full uniform. No cars, though, I think. I don't know what they were doing there, but everyone from the drivers, to the mechanics, pit crew, and team principals were there.
This Ferrari mechanic started flirting and hitting on me. Strangely enough, we were lying down together on a mattress in the middle of the clubhouse while the rest of the team was around us. After a while, he stood up to get a team jacket which he later presented to me. I didn't want to accept it; I'm not a Ferrari fan after all, so what will I do with it?
I left the clubhouse and it was then that The Boy arrived, with Pipay. I stayed with him, and he hugged me, while we watched all the teams file out. I think I even saw Schumi and Villeneuve!
TWO:
My mom and I (hmm it's always my mom and me!) were staying at this house somewhere in Quezon City, owned by this fat, powerful man. For some strange reason, I wanted to sleep in the man's bath tub. Yup, that's right...the one in his bathroom. I was actually lying down there, hoping that no one would find me and make me go away.
But alas, it was not to be. When my mom found me, she ordered me to get out of the bathtub to sleep in our room. So I did. But sometime in the middle of the night, I felt like going to the bathroom. I did NOT go back to the host's bathroom. In my wisdom, I remembered that I had a college classmate who lived nearby who told me that I could drop by anytime. So I did.
I remember hoping that since it was midnight, no one would be awake and I could pee in peace. But the maid saw me, so she called my classmate, who was awake with her brothers. We chatted pretty much the whole night; I even told her that I was working at so and so and everything. Then at around 4 am, her parents arrived. Apparently, they were again on their way out. They asked me if I wanted to hitch a ride with them, since they were going to alabang. But since I was supposedly staying in QC at the time, I declined their offer.
On the way out, I couldn't remember the way back to the house. It was only two turns, but for the life of me, I couldn't remember how to get there. So after making a wrong turn, I ended up, somehow, in Mexico! So I turned back, and found myself at some sort of amusement park, at a path with a payphone, which only looked like a payphone actually, since you could call for free.
So I tried calling my mom, who didn't want to pick me up because I had left in the middle of the night to go to the freakin bathroom.

I've had tons more but I've been too lazy to write them all here! I should definitely try to keep this up though.

So I've been a bit remiss in logging all my weird dreams, and now I'm paying for it because I can't seem to remember the details anymore, except for the fact that it had something to do with aliens.
Anyhoo, last night's dream was really nice...I dreamt that The Boy and I got married. The only weird thing about it is that there were only three people there, aside from me, him, and the priest.

Last night's dream was so vivid, and yet for the better part of this morning, I couldn't remember what it was about. Thanks to a phrase that I read in someone's blog, the memories started flooding back to me, thankfully.
Apparently, I was attending a conference in California with my Diliman classmates. I distinctly remember being in an auditorium of sorts, and being in a circle for a session. After the conference, I called my mom, who, in this dream, was with my aunt in California. I wanted them to pick me up so that we could go out for lunch or dinner or something. For some reason, they couldn't pick us up, so Pipay, TJ, and me, took a cab and went to the mall to wait for them.
While we were at the mall, we saw tons of Filipinos, and the theater was showing movies from The Filipino Channel. I met a guy who wanted to show me around, but just when he was about to do that, my mom arrived. I had been calling her and my aunt, and I remember worrying about how much it would be costing me, since I was using Global Roaming. That's me, the eternal money worrywart.
Anyway, when they got there, the next question was about where we were going to eat. I wanted to eat at Thai BBQ, because I wanted to have my Thai Iced Tea, and have TJ and Pipay taste it. But my aunt wanted to eat at Border Grill, which I didn't have any objections over either. In fact, I was excited because of the fact that Border Grill is owned by Mary Sue Milliken and Susan Feniger, whose show, Too Hot Tamales, I really enjoy.
When we got to Border Grill, we had to climb up these flights of fire exit type stairs only to find that Border Grill was closed. While we were waiting for it to open, I woke up.

I think I've been watching too much of The Amazing Race. The dream starts with me being in high school, and my friends and I were about to sit down to have lunch at the cafeteria.
Next scene: I'm at National Bookstore, looking at books and stuff which are piled on top of each other, seemingly on sale. I see an old classmate of mine (high school nickname: Derma), who tells me that these books are selling for two pesos each. Because I'm on a tight budget, I confirm and reconfirm that price with him. When he does, I get a bunch of books and head over to the cashier to pay for my purchases. When I get there, I find out that they actually cost twenty five pesos each. I'm not sure if I did indeed buy them or not.
Cut to: Myself, driving a car through BF Almanza aggresively. I head over to Alabang Town Center, apparently as part of The Amazing Race. I get out of my car hurriedly, and through a couple of shortcuts, find myself on the escalator faster than my opponent. I go to the third floor, to look for the clue, only to find it at a computer store, with my friend Wil-an, and my freshman classmate, Bea.
When I ask them for the clue, they tell me that I can't get it till 2:30 am. As my opponent shows up at the computer shop, I worry about how I will go to the computer shop, alone, at 2:30 am.
End.

In this dream, my sister was getting married. She was panicking and fitting her clothes. There were people swimming in our pool. My older sister and i decided to go and get food. We went to Jollibee to buy pizza, and wanted to go to Pizza Hut to buy a burger. When we sat down at a table, we saw one of my classmates in elementary. There's so much more that I can't remember. Arghh!

So in last night's dream, we were still living in Pilar. The maid of our neighbor suddenly came up to me and came up with this crazy story that the owners of the house she was working for were being watched under surveillance, and were set to be killed. So she went over to me, to warn us. As it turned out, she was some sort of novice secret agent who was sent to protect the neighborhood. When I heard this, I immediately told her that we should go outside, and make it appear that I was ordering her to do something, so that whoever was watching her amo wouldn't be able to know that she warned us; that she only came over to work for us. So immediately, she started hosing our garage. I don't remember if the owners of her house did get killed or something, but the next thing I remember was that after this, we sort of adopted this girl, dressed her up, and let her study in La Salle.
My second dream last night had me and my family in Singapore. We went to the Indonesian restaurant where I last ate last September, only to find out that it had closed down. Since we were there, I desperately wanted to find a menu to find out what the name of this dish that I want to have again is. We went to the kitchen, opened closets, etc. Meanwhile, my dad had gone out to the balcony, only to have some crazy guy suddenly hold on to his arms from outside, so as not to fall. Apparently, outside the restaurant, it was already the ocean, so if the guy falls, he'll hit the water and drown. So my dad worked desperately to not drop the guy, who eventually did fall. He didn't drown, though, and was able to swim to the other side of the island. After that excitement, I found a whole set of drawers that we didn't see before, and managed to find the menus. There were all sorts of weird stuff there, like eating the right hand of a camel (but camels don't have hands, I know!), until eventually, I did find the dish that I was looking for. Only, I also realized that I could have had this a long time ago, because the restaurant was a branch of a Filipino restaurant near Megamall.
