I am commuting to work and feeling so nervous since it's my first day. What's weird though is the path I'm taking brings me to the mini hills of the pre-school area of my alma mater, San Beda Alabang. But still I keep on walking like it's the most normal thing in the world... and it leads me to the mountains of Tibet. I continue on and then I pass through a desert (I know, it gets weirder) and the next thing I know I'm in front of a still-under-construction Glorietta II.
I take a construction-type elevator (no walls, just levers and wires) to get to the 11th floor. When I get there, I see my college brod Jeff (as in a 1999 UPLB version of him---lanky, baggy clothes, Wowie de Guzman hairstyle). I tell him I'm looking for my supervisor and he says, "Lola sa 3rd floor." The way he says is exactly how he would say it if we were back in college.
So I take the elevator again and when I arrive at my destination, it's the lobby of a hotel. There are a couple of tables with white cloth for registration and I keep looking for the tag/sign (in bond paper) that says "BANK." Someone calls out my name and the next thing I know I'm standing in front of a tall, white man in his 50s. He points at the clear envelope I am carrying (I have no idea I'm holding anything until he points it out). Turns out it contains my contract and other work papers and he recognizes it as "theirs". Then he calls someone from behind me and when I see her, she's a schoolmate from high school
So there are two teams and she sits me with the first team: ten members, four I also went to high school with and (horror of horrors) I can't remember their names. They don't talk to me because they are busy with their coloring books and crayons. And then I look over the other team and I see three other batchmates... this time people I'm actually friends with (Ian, Julian and Manot). Ian greets me with a small wave, Julian mouths "Ang taba mo..." while Manot raises his fists to his chest and acts like he's playing the family computer. They were telling me "kaya ka mataba kaka-family computer noh?" to which I nod a big yes.
Then I wake up.
JIMMY
He's in a sprawling farm and he's asked to choose what animal he wants to be: cow, goat or pig. He chooses cow because it's the most superior of the three (hanggang panaginip nakakapaganalyze siya). So his face becomes a cow (the rest of him is still human) and he is dragged to the area for cows. Midway, he realizes he wants to be a pig instead so he runs away from the cow people and proceeds to jump from one fence to another to get to the pig area. The cow people run after him and his face changes depending on the fence he gets pass at: from cow his face turns to goat and then finally into pig.
Then he wakes up.

Bakit ganon, kahit panaginip parang mas nakakatawa pero parang mas may sense pa din ang panaginip niya?
So how are the dreams connected to our day?
Well it was the total opposite for me because I had a great first day at work. :) :) :) As for him... hmmm, we still can't figure out what the cute dream meant. Maybe there's a part two tonight!?
