The Drifter's Den

July 14, 2008


I was in the midst of a financial crisis. My bills really are killing me literally. At this moment I found myself lining at MCWD to have my water line reconnected again—Yes naputlan jud ko sa tubig!

Imagine I have to pay 4K to have it running again? So there with my “puppy eyes” I pleaded my case, and had the reconnection fee at a half price, but only after signing a promissory note saying that I’d carry over the remaining balance to my next bill…Darn!

Anyways…Time really flies and, naabtan jud ko sa lunchbreak before I was able to sign the promissory so they asked to come back after an hour---Darn Twice!!

I didn’t want to go home yet without having my water back yet I Still have to wait an hour…I was bringing my camera with so I just scanned some of my old pics to kill some time—it was then instinct again got hold of me.

MCWD is pretty much near Carbon Market…Thus the idea of being the Lonesome Drifter once again rises….Its been a long time since my last lone drifting, though the past group photo shoots I had was really a blast, still nothing could surpass the feeling of satisfaction of being alone and to have an inner experience of self realization amidst the harshness and realities of life and the people that plays pawns on it…

This is my purpose…To be able to tell and portray their stories even by just a glimpse of it.

Thus I allowed myself to drift……….


For one hour.
