Envy

I went to lunch alone today - with my book, a roasted chicken with egg sandwich and a glass of iced raspberry tea. Orange and Keith are on vacation. Tegs had plans and Rhea was busy with work. Therefore, alone time was in place.

I was sipping my tea, reading, when a couple occupies the next table. They were probably in their early 30s, yuppies it seemed. They ordered a sandwich each, a mango smoothie for the lady and a strawberry freeze for the dude. I guess I was really observing them and not paying much attention to my reading. Hehe.

Done with their meal, they started going through what looked like blueprints. Now, I was really interested. I tried not to evesdrop but I can't help it. They started talking about their plans for a house they were building, for a future they were about to share.

I dunno if it were the interior design plans that really caught my attention or the apparent excitement in their voices. Maybe it is both. Either way, one thought was running through my head:

"Buti pa sila" :)
