Number 44




No need for adjectives.

*****
I planned to watch the whole inauguration thing. I went home early and made sure that my phone was fully charged so that I could witness the event live. I even bragged to him about it. Like "hey, I'm watching Obama via live digital broadcast". Coolness. 10PM Manila Time, the scenes were all about the crowd. 11PM Manila time, a glimpse of the Obamas and the Bushes. Past 12AM Manila Time, I suddenly woke up from an unwanted nap, stunned by the sound of a loud ringtone. My buddy was calling. And Mr. Obama was saying "And God bless the United States of America". The crowd cheered. I decided to move on to replays.
