Freakish

As I'm talking my words slip to the floor
and they crawl through your legs and slide under the back door
rendering me freakish and dazed.
Well here I am. Don't know how to say this.
Only thing I know is awkward silence.
Your eyelids close when you're around me to shut me out.
So I'll go walking in the streets 'til my heels bleed
and I'll sing out my song case the birds wish to sing along.
And I'll dig a tunnel to the center of the universe.
Well here I am. Don't know how to say this.
only thing I know is awkward silence.
Your eyelids close when you're around me to shut me out.
I'll make my way across the frozen sea, beyond the blank horizon,
where I can forget you and me and get a decent night's sleep.
Well here I am. Don't know how to say this.
only thing I know is awkward silence.
Your eyelids close when you're around me to shut me out.
Don't shut me out.

When laughter is not the best medicine.

Every morning, the TDP Core team has a meeting. We are a group of more than ten, including Donal, who is an Irish (so, he has no idea about the light and bubbly attitude of the Filipinos) and we are packed in a small room. There we talk about our tasks for the day before and the task now. Sometimes, this meeting, a few punchlines were thrown here and there, but for this day, it was serious.

Anyway, there was this team mate who they find unusual. He rarely speaks and when he does, it is done in a super slow fashion reminiscent of the late great Kuya Cesar. So some of the guys here jokes behind his back.

So, on todays meeting. I noticed two of my teammates trying their very best containing their laughters. I, on the other hand, seeing the looks of concentration on their faces, failed to contain my laughter. I tried so hard not to laugh, but I still laughed. You know that feeling? You want to contain the laughter but because of the restraint, you will laugh and laugh.

Now, I am planning not to attend the meeting tomorrow for I am sure that I will again laugh. T_T But how can I do that?

So, I'll think super hard to arrive at a solution.
