milo part 3
Wednesday, June 15, 2005
my first encounter with packed milo in the philippines after a year of not having any turned out like this. (thanks to day for the tip on the location.) presenting the first edition of the screenplay 'milo, ba't ka nawala?' (translated as 'milo and the lost empire'):
fade in:
ext. eunilane supermarket, kalayaan ave., quezon city
lex getting 3 tetrapacks of milo from one of the shelves in eunilane and paying them in the counter. the camera pans over to the exit area and lex seems to be shuffling his feet (if it were raining, he would probably be dancing-ala-singing-in-the-rain).
cut to:
the parking lot and lex getting in the car. the camera moves to the front and is focused on lex. he gives a smirk. it was as if he has defeated darth vader and is basking in his triumph.
cut to:
ext. philcoa, commonwealth ave., quezon city
showing his dexterity, lex takes a pack of milo and sticks a straw in it while driving. carrying the milo in his left hand, he takes his first sip of the malty drink. without missing a beat, his eyes become watery. camera focuses on his eyes. here, emotions overcome him and a feeling of vindication flows over him. a shout is heard.
lex: ang sarap! wooohoooo!
he's thinking, "if only celine dion were playing on the radio, this would be perfect". his hand trembles as he takes the last sip from the tetrapack. camera focuses on his lips and it seems as though that he is starting to drool. a burp is heard.
cut to:
ext. house in an undisclosed location
camera seems to be panning outside a bathroom door where strange sounds are heard. is there a bomb attack? more like biochemical warfare is about to begin. still camera is focused on the door.
sound fade out.
camera fade out.

hahaha! yup, i've read rose's blog. my mom has a cd in the house anyway so no need to go to nri (i'm still on detox dude). in any case, wouldn't want to go back to that office even if i'm given a million bucks a month. hahaha!

rose: yup, it was that bad for me. shucks, there's really something wrong in that office. i won't wish that things would get better there for you but rather (at the end of your quarter life crisis) that you find what you really want to do. i don't see any point in forcing the issue.
amats: haha! ngayon ko lang naintindihan! just watched it yesterday! ang galing! henyo si chris nolan! -

Dear Lex,
biochemical warfare in the "loo" after a doze of your malt (did you check the expiration? :P) this is a clear indication that you are in detox. Enjoy the wonderful relief parang SI after a tiring dive. -
