And so it goes....

And I'm the only one who knows. (Nods at Billy Joel)

The staff were emphatic: I work, I go home, I eat, I read, I sleep. Repeat the process everyday. 

They see me as an old person with a sedentary lifestyle. No fun, no sin, no you, no wonder it's dark. (Nods at Vapors). 

I laugh. These kids see me as someone they can sit beside Mother Theresa. 

"Don't burst the bubble! This is your chance to be a saint to a handful," a friend argues.  

What imagery. 

The kids only know that I do go on photowalks and road trips and backpacking trips every now and then. But my personal life, they can only guess. 

They don't have a hint I can give flirting lessons, basic and advanced. 

They even think I can be nice. Poor souls. Poor misguided souls.

  1. Saints are sinners. Their difference is their humble admission and reparation of whatever damage caused.

    Admission at honesty, yan ang medyo wala ang marami.

    Ikaw, meron. :-)
