the obsessions of the m/

I was preparing my cup of coffee that morning. It was only nine and my back was aching again. Yep, I know what you’re thinking. Possibly: “Nine? And you paired that with the word ONLY.” Or, “Nine? Wow dudette, I wake up after lunch!” But you know what, let’s skip the comic relief and get on with my Sunday morning.

 So I sat down on the floor by the electric fan to take some of the heat out of my body because soon, I’ll be drinking a scrumcious treat that I’d be giving myself. Well, since I’m still a minor and my parents would sermon like hell if they saw me with this, ‘twas a pretty good thing that everyone was still in bed. With the Domyoujii’s, no one is awake until after lunch time (except for me ofcourse).

 I was stirring the coffee. I smelled it. The aroma was just lovely and the feeling was great too. Mmmm.. Finally, I could get away from thinking so much and just concentrate on one thought that would make me feel even better than what I was feeling back then. I took a sip. Eww.. My coffee tasted bitter!

             I stood up to get some sugar. I went to the kitchen but I couldn’t seem to find the sugar there. "Salt, vinegar, soysauce, Mang Tomas, no sugar?" I tried to reach over the cupboard and searched there. Still, no luck. I kept on searching until I stooped and then accidentally stepped on my basketball. I thought, "What a messy house we have!" But then I realized that I was the last one who used it.             

            Yep. I went on a 6am shoot out. You know,I was talking to myself again (and I was not alone on the court!). And so, here were my thoughts..

 Dar n it! If I continue missing, I’m going back to the first line of this rainbow! Curses! Curses! Curses! Dar n it!

 I can’t help it! What happened to my style of shooting? I must’ve altered it. Maybe because I was jealous of that Chinese-looking guy that, I figured, had a last name like “Swak”. Maybe I should really be original. Yep, I’ll go back to my froggish jump and to my way of shooting where my butt would stick out. At least with that kind of style, I shoot better (I thank heavens for my ASSet).

 Okay, so I’ll start with the first line of the rainbow again.

 Level one. Janah, just exert a little amount of energy, okay? Because if you don’t you’ll miss it. Remember the rule: If you miss a shot on a certain line, you’ll go back to the line before it. Got it? I got it! Woohoooo! I shot the first one!

 Level two. Just relax. No pressure on you. It’s not that you must shoot it. It’s just that you have to! Release it with grace. Follow my instructions carefully. Waaahh!! I got a swak!!

 Level three. I;m getting there. I must keep my aura flowing. Hah! Ring less! Well whad’ya know? Just 8 more lines to go through!

 Level four. Getting all warmed up now. Three shots straight! No mistakes! I’m startin’ to get a good feeling. Haha! Nice shot! Well done Janah, well done.

 Level five. O-oh.. I hate this part. I ain’t good at this part of the court. It’s completely diagonal! Here it comes.. Oh! I am down with this game!

 Level six. The free throw. This is by far the most dangerous part of the rainbow. Your angles have to be really exact else your gone. Your gon’ back home to five dude. Gon’ back home.. Hehe.. Well if it isn’t a perfect shot! “Mas swak pa sa swak!”

 Level seven. I can’t believe I’m at the other side of the rainbow! I am so gonna get past through this. If not, who knows what would happen? Maybe back to number one?? Here goes nothin’.. Oh men! But wait. Thank God!! That was a close one. The ball nearly fell out of the ring! Good thing it fell in!

 Level eight. What a drag! Level eight is as hard as level seven! I doubt I can make this one. I don’t want my hopes to get too high, now don’t I? O God! So help me God! O well, here goes nothin’! Whoa!! I can’t believe this! It nearly slipped off! So you are helping me God!!

 Level nine. (I guess I was chanting) O yea, o yea, u-huh, o yea, in your face John Cena! I’m in level eight. I’m in level eight. I’m almost level nine. O yea, o yea.. (okay, so I was kinda announcing) And Janah shoots! And she levels up to ten!

 Level ten. No more thoughts. Just shoot! One more to go! Piece of cake!

 Level eleven. The last one. Hah! I got it!! But wait a minute. There’s still the shot from under the ring.

 Level under-the-ring. Just do the boarding Janah. You can do it! Okay. I will. Yep. I did it all right! And then there’s the three-point shot. So I can finally complete my rainbow dream!

 Level three-point-shot-to-complete-my-rainbow-dream. I bet I can’t do this anymore. Even though I’ve completed the rainbow without any mistakes, I believe I’d be in heaven if I make this one. So here it is. No styles. Just plain me. Shoot, please shoot!! What the!!??!?! Is this heaven?? I even got the suicide shot (which was the three-point shot)!

 

              Oh, so there’s the sugar. It was on the dining table all along!

 

              My back ache was soothed and my coffee was sweet for the first time.

              It was an almost perfect day.
