I designed this ...
I can't afford Gasoline for my truck now , but i can afford just one bottle of beer. This wont even cover the tip , so i guess ill just take this bottle to go .
These are tough times when just the basics of the basics are being altered to scarcity. Some will panic , some will worry but i want to believe that most of us will hope and be resilient to such testing times.
I recall designing this restobar for this certain client and it reminded me that , there are places where we could loosen up , unwind and air out our differences through expression.
I remember playing billiards at "El Garahe" all night until the sun came up , just playing until we ran out of time , only to find out it was dawn . ( This was near Tong Yan and Magellan Hotel Cebu )
If you were to find me in a time ..., it would be those days.
The smell of chalk on the table , the ci******es lighted up , the sub-zero cold beer , the smoke from the ordered sisig and the loud music in the background.
You see, sometime its not the isolation or the distance i seek to find peace , sometimes its being immersed in the moment of good company and the ambience of good music that could remind me that ..., no matter how hard the situation was , no matter how pushed to the wall i was , there was always time to let go ... and let the day take care of itself , only to welcome another day to solve it.
Just try to remember these words - " The world will understand " ... " People will listen if you talk about your feelings "... and remember , ...
" You don't have to walk the streets alone " ...
Just have a seat and take load off , you are important one way or another.
