Thoughts & Beyond

On my way home tonight, I decided to ride the jeepney rather than the taxi. It has been awhile since I’ve rode a jeepney and I missed the experience. Halfway from where I was on the area where one of my former senior officemates live in an apartment, a familiar face of a guy rode the jeep. Then the young guy seating next to me greeted the guy who just rode the jeep and called him Sir. Hmmm where did I see this face before? Then a few moments after I remembered that he is a teacher from the school which is my alma mater in college and a client of my former company. That guy is the one I would call and talk to when I have a collection to make from the school. Well I could not rememeber at first his name. Rey stuck to my mind and I know that is not his name so I let them talk for awhile until the guy seating next to me who must have been one of his students went down. The teacher did not see me nor did he recognize me. So I thought he will go down before reaching our subdivision. But we already entered the subdivision and he was still there. So I got curious that we could possibly be living in the same subdivision yet I never saw him before though the first time I met him though in the office before, he already looked familiar. Now maybe that is why he looked familiar because I might have seen him before in the subdivision but just did not know him personally. Well on the last turn before I have to go down, I finally asked him if he was Sir CP and he said yes and asked my name. Well he remembered me after all. He said his family had lived there for many years and I told him that I grew up in that place. Well We live in the same side of the same street but at separate ends. What a coincidence and we never knew we were neighbors after all. When I was much younger, we usually know most of the people living in our place because the tricycle roams all around the subdivision so at one point, we would come to know most of the people but as years passed by the subdivision was somehow divided into two phases and just like that, we knew less and less of the other new neighbors and some of our old neighbors have gone abroad or transferred somewhere else. Well anyway it was a surprise to know that he is a neighbor but I doubt we’d see each other often. I stay home most of the time and don’t go out in the neighborhood that much anymore. Maybe when CT is older and we may just find time to go out. Small world isn’t it?
