About A Boy And A Talking Dandelion
Dandelion: Matalino ka e. Alam mo naman yun diba? Pero sa mga ganyang bagay, hindi masyado. Alam mo na ngang mali, pinipilit mo pa. Mahilig kang nasasaktan e. Pinapahirapan mo lagi sarili mo e.
(cut to 5 minutes later)
Dandelion: Di ka kasi mapakali nang wala. Alam mo, friend.... Pokpok ka. You're a slut. Sorry ha? Pero ganun talaga.
Boy: (smiling sincerely) Thank you.
Dandelion: Alam mo yun... (attempts to explain further)
Boy: I appreciate the honesty, really.
Dandelion: Talaga?
Boy: Oo. Kasi nga diba, you're my voice of reason? Ikaw yung mirror ko. Ikaw yung nagsasabi ng totoo, kahit gaano kasakit. Sinasabi mo lang, as it is --- as an observation, nang walang halong judgement. Hindi nandadaot. Kaya I value your opinion.
Dandelion: Hanggang ngayon?
Boy: Oo.
...and then a wingless angel flew by and disrupted the drama.
Happy mid-30's birthday, Dan-- my best-friend-slash-ex-flatmate-slash-podcast-partner-slash-voice-of-reason-slash-adoptive-nakatatandang-brother!
I thank the Universe for the incomparable brotherhood that She allowed us to share. And I thank you for your insurmountable Dan-ness.
I love you!
