I was walking in Cubao earlier. There were a lot of people walking with me and I thought they were probably on their way home already. Good for them. I didn’t hear any sound coming from the city ‘cause I was filling my ears with Ra Ra Riot and I somehow wished they could hear the good music I was listening to. The night time felt nice.. cold and lonely, even with all the people around me. It almost made me forget that I only had about 4 hours of bad, sweaty sleep.
Lately, I’ve been spending more time at work before and after hours. It’s so quiet here and I’m almost all by myself. I sleep here when I can’t at home. No need for fancy sheets or over-sized pillows, a borrowed blanket and a folded jacket for a pillow will do just fine. It’s dark, quiet and cold in triple-decked bed land. Perfect for those 2-hour naps.
When I’m here, I feel fine and safe.. like there’s nothing I have to fix.
P.S.
I need a real vacation, not something that’s 10-minutes away from home. Take me to New York!
