mikki was early...
mikki was early...it's 9:11 am. i just woke up.
i'm still pretty tired and groggy from last night's movie shooting (which finished at about 2 am) in pampanga with the naima boys, and needless to say, i got home pretty late. although i must commend jr for pulling off that impressive 45 minute drive from san fernando to xavierville. i'm sure he was breaking a few traffic laws while doing so, but i never really got to witness it since i was sleeping the entire ride. oh well...
anyway, mikki and i will be having our first brother get-together with joey today and i'm pretty stoked (and nervous) to say the least. i'm sure it's all gonna go well, but still, there's that pessimist in me somewhere inside that scares the crap out of me by running worst case scenarios about our long overdue reunion in my head... over and over again. damn those scenarios.
however, a peculiar thing happened just now that sort of made my day a little brighter. mikki was early. not that it's a big deal and all that (maybe it is), but i just wasnt expecting him to be the one making me kulit about our schedule in meeting up with joey. we agreed last night on 9:30 am being our rendezvous time. he would drop me the car, and i would pick joey up and so on. he came at 9:00 am... half an hour earlier... i was still sleeping.
i'm still a bit rattled right now (the kind you get when you are suddenly forced out of deep slumber) but, nevertheless, pleasantly surprised. i thought i was the only one in my family who was excited and anxious to get in touch and reunite with joey... at most, i feared, mikki and dad were just a bit curious but more of indifferent to the news. But mikki being early dashed those fears (at least for his end) and made me happy that i wasnt the only one longing for a reconnection with my long lost little brother. thank god for that.
now, its getting a bit late and i have to get dress up and pick joey up by 10:00 am. im still a bit anxious about how things will go, but it's a good thing mikki was early... and seemingly excited (he was a bit pushy that i hurry up). at least now i know that i'm not the only one.
