The exodus to the "Promised Spot"
Who knows that in the middle of the developing town Filinvest the three friends Kelvin, Themiton and Renel (Triumvirate) would discover a lost sanctuary where we came face to face with God? A sanctuary surrounded by talahib or tall grass, effectively obstructing us from the motorist's view, for it was in the middle of the road. It had even welcomed us for there were fallen trees brought upon by Milenyo's Fury that served as comfortable stools upon we rested our drunken bottoms.
We discovered it when we were forcibly ejected from the premises of Festival Mall's parking area after being caught drinking alcohol there. So, bringing the three liters of beer we had purchased, we had set forth not knowing where we would go, sorta kinda like the exodus of Israel from Egypt to the Promised Land. After walking for a while at the side of the freeway, Renel had a Divine idea. "Let's go across this field!" he said to us with confidence "Beyond this is the Promised Spot!"
And there we discovered our sanctuary. We talked about many things, initially concerning ourselves, and then inevitably veering off course and went into the finer points on God and philosophy.
We thought it would be all over when two metro-aides passed by. But instead of reprimanding us, they told us to be careful and not get caught. They were comfortably warm towards us and as a sign of gratitude we gave them snacks. (We tried to give them some alcohol but they refused, saying that their superiors would scold them.) When they had left, we realized that it was God Himself that talked to us. They were the instruments that He had sent to tell us to be careful and don't get caught. He also used them to teach us a valuable lesson - Time is Gold, RP may be shit but we could be rich if we study well and go to other countries.
I also saw in them a confirmation from them the theories and ideas we traded during our drunken sojourn into that sanctuary. I will never forget that moment when we were lost but the fear and uncertainity was justified by the sight of that Promised Spot. For these are the days that we had persisted, the times we were unbound by responsibility. We will eat and drink, for tomorrow we will die. Carpe Diem, you will say.
