Past Midnight

Past midnight Past all the cares of the previous day Too late to worry about them now And too early to think about the morning Past midnight It's a crack in time Where thoughts enter from nowhere Or maybe they were there all along Waiting for this opening Past midnight When your body is tired but your mind is not What point of one's life is Past midnight?

An Hour at Bo's

In the middle of Glorietta mall in Makati is a small coffee shop called "Bo's Coffee Club." This is where I dragged myself to recover some energy while doing some Christmas shopping. I ended up staying an hour, catching a catnap, sipping iced choco -- and watching people (not a usual pastime). To my surprise I noticed that women seem to be getting... err... "rounder." I mean, why am I not seeing skinny anorexic models on a ramp? Was the reason staring me in the face? - across Bo's is a popular fastfood (burger) store. Okay, it's not really scientific, I'm concluding from a sample of women who walked in front of Bo's between 2:30 and 3:30 pm. Don't get me wrong, the men were "round" too, but that's old news! I always thought the women were "ideal" ... Maybe I never looked, except at beauty product endorsers on TV. A quick hour -- back to shopping, for something that will make me look, um, less round?
