Episode #7: A Look At The Road Ahead
07 January 2010
Honk! Honk!
Honk! Honk!
I signaled “SANDALI LANG PO!" to the now-angry drivers of the cars behind us.
E kasi naman – we were right smack in the middle of the road . . . She – hands on the steering wheel . . . Me – standing outside the car, peering through the driver's-side window.
Our meeting had just ended . . . We had spent the entire afternoon poring through the parts and components of her sparkling-new Christmas gift: a fantastic Portable Recording Studio!
This state-of-the-art avant-garde equipment is what we’re now going to use to record her very own PODCASTS – as well as those for her many clients now lined up for her super-personalized world-class services!
We were just about to go on our own separate ways . . . when a light bulb suddenly blinked ‘ON’ in my mind.
Me: Wait . . . wait! (I was tapping at her side window.)
Her: What!?! (Rolling down the glass . . .Ngek -- it got stuck halfway down!)
Me: Naku! . . . They might get angry . . . We're blocking the road. (Gesturing at the car drivers glaring at me.)
Her: Don't mind them . . . This is MY barangay, remember? . . . What?
Her: Don't mind them . . . This is MY barangay, remember? . . . What?
Me: For 17 years, I worked as an Engineer – before I called it quits . . . In the past year, I changed my cards.
Her: You’re telling me that in the middle of the road??
Me: Diba I'm working my way up as a professional writer now . . . and I’m trying my hand at entrepreneurship . . .
Her: You are causing traffic just to tell me THAT?!?!
Me: Teka . . . Hindi eh . . . I just want to tell you . . . I met a lot of people this year who said: “Wow… sige… mag entrep ka… kaya mo yan!” . . . Pero none of them made an impact on me like you did!
Her: Aba, good! . . . You know naman – I believe people meet for a Higher Purpose . . . Remember: there are no mistakes in the Universe!
Me: (Smiling to the max!)
Her: (Sigh . . .) I’ve tried helping so many others before you . . . ay naku, I wasted so many precious hours, days, weeks -- and even months -- on those characters . . . but it looks like you’re finally IT!
Me: Wow, Thanks ! ! !
Her: Sige, let’s set-up the Portable Recording Studio na! . . . I’ve also got a video-cam . . . Let’s include video na rin – para yung mga MAGIC MOMENTS like these ma-capture din natin!
Me: YES! YES! (Grabe . . . I was so excited – I almost forgot about the cars lined up behind us – angry drivers all honking away!)
Her: Let’s produce PODCASTS . . . and also TELEVISION on INTERNET!
Me: W-O-W ! ! !
Her: Ano . . . are you ready for this?
Me: I sure am!! . . . I claim it now! . . . Ang galing ng ROAD AHEAD natin for 2010!
Her: Great! . . . LOOK with FAITH in your HEART . . . BELIEVE + AFFIRM + CLAIM that 2010 is an EXCITING and HAPPY year FOR YOU!
And for ALL of YOU – our faithful READERS too ! ! !
