Wanted for Immediate Hiring: Tintin's muse

My muse, my muse, come here and save me please.

Thing is, I can't write here in the office. It's too cold, too many people tick-tacking on their keyboards, too many phones ringing at the same time, I just can't, can't write.

Too many excuses.

I can see from between slats of the "tora-tora propellers"/blinds of my window: blue-gray sky, trees (yes, there are trees in my view) swaying. I want to go out. I want to go to the Sunken Garden like I always did whenever I needed to think, back when I was in grad school and stayed in Ayala Heights.

My deadline is tomorrow. It's a video documentary script. I already have one but I have to overhaul it.

I think I'll go for a smoke.And coffee.Free office coffee.

Tintin Manang Driver

What if I got a professional driver's license and drive my own taxi?

The manong driver I talked to yesterday said the "boundary" is PhP1,500. He earns 800 or more on good days. 800 the least. That's, uhm, more than 20k right?

But I'll buy a pepper spray first (for would-be hold-uppers), a map,a car charger, and those dogs whose heads bob up and down.

Gahhhd. Kailangan ko nang magsulaaaaat.
