No, not the Star Cinema film lauded by… well, Star Cinema. I’m talking about the 9 Mornings that I am looking forward to this October; 9 mornings that I can hopefully spend in utter stupor. Get a load of this:
October 29 - Saturday
October 30 - Sunday
October 31 - Monday Halloween, and (I sure hope we can trust The Palace on this one) a day usually declared holiday by the powers that be, so people can haul ass to bus terminal and make the yearly trek to their loved ones’ final resting places in as little traffic as possible (although I have trouble seeing how declaring it a holiday for everyone helps, because how can everyone travel ahead of everyone else when everyone is travelling ahead of…where was I?).
November 1 - Tuesday All Saints’ Day. Everyone should be there by now.
November 2 - Wednesday Everyone’s still there.
November 3 - Thursday Eid’l Fitr That is, Ramadan. We can trust The Palace on this one, I think. Who knows where anyone is?
November 4 - Friday Now who in her right mind would even think of showing up for work?
November 5 - Saturday
November 6 - Sunday
Do you see what I’m getting at here?
