Many thoughts flitter through the mind's eye..... in that place just before reality and just after dreams...... was that really my car.... i just HAVE to get that job........ am i flying ....... the grades better be good after this exam..... why is there a sound of a river in my room.....

  Then just a peek from that world to this...... its morning...... its raining.... its gorgeous outside...... the old tropical trees ... all wet and dripping like pearls from the leaves..... the tiny puddles of water, with the occasional bird fluttering in and out..... the natural "Bird bath Expressway".......  the grass is such a gorgeous green..... the sun still shy and peeking.... almost as if not wanting to disrupt my plaesure till i am good and ready.

  That reminds me.... what time is it?..... oh Shit!.... its 9 o'clock..... i'm so so so so late....... oh damn the treacherous sun!.... damn! damn! damn!....... Nate must be waiting and oh..... he will be drenched and mad...... he must hate me.... he will leave and never spaek to me...."WHERE THE THE OTHER DAMN SHOE?"....... ARGH! here it is .... okay run out now... and down.... thats the handphone... where is it .....

  "Hello! Sorry!"..... "What for? for standing you up, dats wat for."......."What?!!"..... "Don't kid with me! damn!"..... back now ..... back home..... i can't believe it was for tomorrow...not today... open the door.....

  Fuel! i need Fuel!..... the coffee maker is on..... aaah! the refreshing smell... the gorgeous first sip... where's the damn handphone now.... "Nate? you wanna come over for some coffee?......okay!"...... finally! ..... its gonna be okay now.......make breakfast ... is that the door?... no! its the damn handphone again..... "Hello?".... "Bess? wassup?".... "I was what!".... shit!.... damn! ....... shit!.....it was Bess and not Nate .... call...... "Nate! i gotta go. Don't come over rite now, I'll explain later."... shit!.... damn!..... shit!....... run......

  There she is ... shit!... she is soaked to the skin.... "Bess... Sorry!"...."I mean it! Truly!"...... "here got u some dry clothes".... "...i know..."....."How about breakfast?My treat."....Sigh! finally!.....
