Umbrella-ella...

Umbrella Part 1

as the hole got bigger and bigger, my chances of getting in without a key or magic blew up in grandiose proportions... and when a hole enough for my hand and the umbrella to fit, i stopped pulling the screen apart.. i sighed really hard...

"game"

good thing my shirt was black. cause i know for a fact i am gonna get dirty with this. with the cane umbrella at hand, i started my way (or i mean, my hand and the umbrella) through the hole... like a virgin experiencing his first time... i held the umbrella at its end and first inserted the crook handle (thanks wikipedia for the terms!)... good thing the screen didn't moan! (eww!)

"bwisit naman na kurtina to"

"alis dyan alis dyan"

after making my way inside... i stopped... shit... napagod ako dun... and it hurts... the ends of the meshes felt like blunt needes pinching and scratching through your skin! but anyways, for the sake of getting inside, it felt like i had no choice...

remember that the door is actually locked in three ways (see images)... but i am only worried with the door chain and the dead bolt. opening the door knob would just be a breeze... thanks to the MRT cards...

From left to right: door knob, deadbolt and door chain..


my first instinct was not to go fiddle with the locks as soon as i got my hands and my magical umbrella inside. i need to get the lights on first. what if in the middle of me doing my deed, someone grabs my arm and says "anong ginagawa mo?" in a horrifying and ghastly way. that's scary. and you end up one arm lesser. (duh, you're overreacting!)

no. but seriously i was thinking that if i had the lights on, someone upstairs would've noticed it... and will question himself or herself why is it opened or why wasn't it turned off.. and will go down and turn it off for the sake of saving electricity... and will hear someone knocking on the door... and will see me outside like a lost dog wanting to go home... and whalah! my salvation!

if you'd look at the picture to the left, that is how far the window is from the actual door. and you can't actually insert your whole arm inside because of the metal bars blocking the actual window itself. and so i started using the umbrella as my magical hand... i started scouring the wall for the switch...

"asan ka na? shit naman..."

"ayan. sige. diin mo. diin pa." (akala mo naman may milagrong nangyayari!)

boom. let there be light. and there was light. yey! the living room was now lit. thanks to the umbrella. one down. more to go. i stared at the living room and thought, had they heard me knocking and shouting, i wouldn't be doing this stunt. damn. i pulled out my arm and the umbrella - dahil nangangalay na ako. (ano? masarap?) and darn the umbrella was heavy. well for me, it was.

while resting and charging for my next attack. i resorted to my old ways, banging the door. shouting through the window and throwing rocks hoping someone will be pitiful enough to open the door for. but neither the old ways.. nor the bright lights made sense...

coz for me what made sense at that time was me getting inside and lying on my bed and floating away for dreamland...
