I was ten feet away when the dos por dos swung by the guy from the visiting school’s basketball team missed your head by an inch.

You’ve always had a temper.

That temper has always lead to great make up sex.

I’ve always liked that temper.

Thoughts on being arrested

Posted by annabs

Last Saturday for art’s sake, I got arrested. Barangay Hall and all.

Lav Diaz shot a scene at my house and caused a little commotion that had a whole team of Barangay Tanods and a couple of cops at our door.

Thank goodness for PR Skills and uber short shorts. :)

Anyway, on to business.

Disconnection, (Please) Notice. The story is essentially about a long distance relationship between two people that had to be separated by necessity, effed up state of Philippine economics, social status, etc.

But to me this is just a story about a guy who at the slightest thought of, would always turn me back in to a giddy High School girl. This story is for him.

Can’t wait to hear from you guys.
