Beautiful Distraction: Message in a Bottle

Message in a Bottle


Yesterday, Fiona and I decided to finally celebrate our anniversary. No, not as friends and heck, not as lovers but our one year anniversary for the day she introduced me to my first taste of alcohol, Tequila to be specific. Only this year, we decided to have white wine instead. We invited Yangyang with us since Winnie cant come anymore. We headed to Silliman beach which was the same place we hung out last year. It was a clear afternoon and the weather was nice. It was fun hanging out with both of them, but I wish Winnie was around, too.

When the bottle was empty, we argued a bit on who gets to keep the bottle since it was too pretty to throw away. Fiona suggested that since we were at the beach, we write something on a peice of paper, put it in the bottle and throw it in the sea instead. So we did just that. Fiona wrote a message for a guy she liked whom she met over the weekend who hasnt texted her yet. And for the fear that she gave the guy a wrong number, she included her mobile number too, with the hopes that the bottle would someday reach the town where the guy lived. :) Yangyang wrote a short christmas-new year-and-valentine's greeting for the person whom she hasnt gotten over with for the longest time. I, on the other hand, didnt show them what I wrote. It was for a person whom I missed. It was short, but true. Who and what the message contained will be between me and the sea. (unless of course someone finds the bottle, reads the message and broadcasts it all over school.) Before covering the bottle, each of us sprinkled sand inside the bottle and made a wish.

We stood at the shore and Yangyang threw the bottle to the sea. Yangyang's attempt to throw the bottle just a few feet away proved that the bottle would end up where we were standing by the next day. So Fiona attempted to rescue the bottle and after getting half of her body (with her pants on) wet, we decided to walk to the end of the airport runway where it would be far enough from the shore.

And just a few seconds after I threw the bottle, a man in a motorcycle came to us screaming for us to leave the runway right away. Apparently, a plane was arriving and you could just imagine what happens when that plane lands and we were still and the runway's end. So we didnt argue, we left and hoped that the sea would someday grant our wishes.

We walked back to the shore laughing our heads off thinking about the crap we just did and getting each other wet. Then we thought of the consequences when somebody, a schoolmate to be specific, finds the bottle and reads our letters cause afterall, we werent the only students who hangs out in Silliman beach. But then again, what the heck, it was fun anyway.

After that, we left and headed to school because Fiona had to meet Mara. Yes, we were still went and sandy from the water fights. After a quick hi's and hellos and avioding every teacher that came our way, we decided to leave before anyone questioned why we were dressed that way. We headed to bosing's in escano for dinner. Yangyang dropped fiona and I before she went back to fetch 2 of her basketball friends who were coming over too. After a few minutes, she came back with one. She introduced Julie to us and told me that Mydah, her other friend was on her way..with my brother. Heheh..So there, it was the first time I hung out with my brother and Mydah. But it's all good....

After an hour, it started to rain and before we can reach the streets, it started to rain hard. After that, they brought me home.

It was one good anniversary. :)
