Just One of Those Nights

It started with a message from my brother last Saturday morning. Although it has been lingering for quite some time now, somehow I have learned to deal with it. But then sometimes the cup empties sooner than we expect. Now, I am back to where I was after watching Daybreak.

I have a family, though faraway, I know cares and loves me unconditionally. I have a very good set of friends that is always there for me. But at the end of the day, I go home alone. I go to bed alone. I sleep alone.

Tonight I will settle with Meryl Streep and Pierce Brosnan serenading me with ABBA songs with the hope of supressing what is imminently coming. I will be content with those adorable stares from John Lloyd Cruz and be lost and suspended from my own reality. Tonight I will survive with a bottle of wine left from a dinner date on my left hand and a freshly opened pack of flavoured cancer sticks on my right.

I know tonight will pass and it will gloriously end in a dream. And tomorrow is a new day. A new week, a new beginning.

And when the cup is threatened to be empty again, I will always have my wine and cigarettes.

I just wonder, how many bottles and packs do I need to last me a lifetime?

@roneiluke,rn: I was ok earlier, now I'm on my way down the pit again. Talk about a rollercoaster ride.

Listening to Duets with Thor. And it does not help at all. The masochist in me is being stroked.

@dazedblu*: Thanks. :)

KRIS JASPER said...

that makes the 2 of us... Trying to start this week OK.

Unfortunately, no smoking and drinking for me...

I chill with my pills.

Turismoboi said...

mamma mia ba un?

di ko pa napanood un ah

Joaqui said...

@kris jasper: I wish I have pills. I reckon it will be easier with pills than alcohol and smoke.

@turismoboi: Yup. Not a great film but good enough to put a little smile on your face. :)

dancing queen...no comment!

Joaqui said...

@bryan anthony the first: Yup, red indeed! :)

Everyone is saying I should quit or at least lessen my smoking. They ask me right after "Do you want to die?"

As much as I want to quit, my answer to the question is yes.

I skipped that part. Thanks to the fast forward button. lol :)

odin hood said...

Joaqui said...

@odin hood: Thanks! :)

wanderingcommuter said...

may tanong ako..bakit ang galing mo?

Joaqui said...

@wanderingcommuter: Yikes!

How do I answer this? Hmmm...

I pressure myself to do well because my visitors are of great caliber and it will be a shame if I will not, at least, try to be at par with them. Take note, operative word is "try". hehehe :)

Thanks for appreciating! :)

Chyng said...
