Because I am so sleepy I make a wrong turn somewhere and so now we are lost.
On the other hand, it's just Baliwag. How lost can I be? I keep driving. Everyone else in the car is fast asleep.
It's when I turn into private property that I start to get anxious. I mean, I've been going the general direction of the NLEX but now I'm in a place that looks like a monastery. I've never seen so many santol trees in my life. There's a sign that says: NO OFF SEASON PICKING.
Curiouser and curiouser.
Somewhere a gate opens and I drive towards it hoping to get out.
Outside it's not the highway as I expected but a cliff with a view of the ocean. Big, big waves.
We're sooooo lost. I worry about all the people waiting for us to get home.
Every night my dream's the same.
Same old city with a different name.
