With all thats happened to me and Cor lately, I forgot to tell about an integral part of our problems; Kenji's death.
You've heard it on the news recently. Kenji Kanai, Benedictine International School graduating student, died in a car "accident" along Katipunan at around 4:00 am on Friday last week. I don't think I need to say what I was to him but for the sake of remembrance, I will. I was one of his friends at bene, he was one year below me and I knew him fairly well. We used to play basketball during recess and lunch (when there was a lunch period) during our early years at that school. I remember Now or Never. I remember when I got drunk then and tried to get down the stairs to look for Koyet (who, by the way, was present at the accident) and he helped me down, because I was making a grand ass of myself trippng on my own feet. That's how I remember Kenji.
Sad to say that his death was what it took to see an old friend. My ex, Aki. Only I call her that by the way. We met at his funeral, she was absent from his wake, as I walked up the path leading to his grave, I realized how out of place I was, shrouded in black while everyone wore white shirts with "we love Kenji" printed in bold letters on it. I saw my cousin and Kenji's teammate, Mico, beside the other varsity members, watching the long and tedious lowering of Kenji's coffin. Then I noticed the little figure crying silently beside me and Mae. It was her. I was surprised to see her there, not knowing that she'd be present.
So we talked, and exchanged new numbers. We texted, and soon Cor found out. It was wrong of me, I guess, to have texted her without waiting until Cor was ready. But circumstances led me there, and i'm npt the type to ignore an old friend whom I haven't seen for so long. So she went, and talked to Aki in bene. I had heard that she threatened to punch Aki's lights out, and so I was miffed. We fought, in KFC no less. I got slapped, we broke up.
All that's water under the bridge now, we're on good terms, though I doubt that she and Aki will ever be. Just typing for the sake of keeping my blog alive.

About Me
Shinigami Duo
Don. A distinct and utterly confused soul who finds
solace in those around him. Although he claims to
prefer the dark and twisted side of the force, so to
speak, his golden moment are those wherein he is
surrounded by his true friends. He is a
contradiction in himself. A lazy perfectionist, who's
work has heart, even though he seems to put
almost no effort into his work. He is a User, yet he
lets people Use him. He is a smoker, yet when his
friends light up in front of him, it disturbs him
terribly. All this and more, completes the complex
enigma that is Don.
But...What is this "more"? Who IS Don?
