Past Perfect Senses

1. Uninvent snooze;

2. Have a super-important morning hearing;

3. Maybe if it's to wake me up for a trip w/ my TD&H* (or SW&CAWLTGPM);**

4. Have an unfinished pleading which needs to be submitted maybe 3 days before filing to allow for meaningful contribution from partner;

5. Maybe if I were to get on a Victory Liner bus for Baguio with friends in 2010 (because in 2008 and 2009 I was late and indirectly/directly became involved in/caused a scene/was ousted from original bus by an angry mob. Though maybe not really, I mightn't, if only to taunt Fate);

6. If there were another Universal Records sale (at the Universal Towers along Quezon Avenue, impossibly heavy with traffic just when one has a 10 a.m. [is one sure that's not 9:30?] hearing so it is better to take another route; an exception to the rule that the straightest way is the fastest way), at the last of which certain people were able to get 10 (more, if people were to count properly) CDs of bands previously unknown to them but, through sheer faith and uncontained enthusiasm for good new pop music/rock n' roll, have now been discovered to be excellent sources of inspiration and amazement and buzzy entertainment (and Windows Media Player confusion/snobbery), like Spoon

7. Practice, if I were a professional tennis player, or a musician with a cult following, or the need to simply sit down and write if I were a person working on her The Novel (I'd like to think I am actually one of these. Which one? Which one?);

8. A date w/ the Land Transportation Office sometime in late January (or, more likely, early February, based on recent lateness history), open at 9 a.m. in Megamall, though of course you have to be early to be first in line. But watch out for those who will try to answer the questionnaires more quickly than you so as to be first to submit them and thus purloin the story you were going to tell your friends about being the first issuee of a license for the day, but who will not notice that the forms should be filled up in triplicate (quadruplicate?) and have it returned to him, to his utter dismay, and your unutterable joy. Sucker. Still ended up number 2, though. The guy writes faaast;

9. Okay I think I have strayed far enough from the topic.

And so. I think these'll work.

*Tall, dark & handsome.
** Small, white & cute AND who listens to good pop music.
