Go ahead and Cancel Nini
a dream deferred.
last friday, a call from Mr. E's #2 man, Danny Tan.
[ summarily ]
DT: Nini, we haven't heard from you, what's going on?
N: Settlement still pending. All is slow. Maybe 6 - 8 more weeks says lawyer.Can go to Manila around first week Sept is ok, buy me ticket?
DT: Uh, well. Wanted to update you: Viva is being lax and flaky in re: scheduling our other artists for studio time, putting projects on hold because some producers are leaving, then changing, even Boss Vic's personal assistant is changing. So.....
N: I've spent my last 2 months in America preparing to leave, packing up my life, saying goodbye - so how does this news affect me?
DT: Well, even Mr. E will be travelling in US/Europe until end of August anyway. No big decisions without him. And will be meeting with Viva to try to find out their commitment to scheduling you. Many other projects right now. I will call you after our meeting to update you.
N: !!!!???????!!!!!!
DT: You could still come and work for our marketing dept. And maybe get some gigs.
N: Well, I'm not comfortable moving my life to Manila to work in mkting.
DT: Well, I'll keep you updated.
N: Ok.
-FIN-
Currently, awaiting call and replanning life as if trip to Manila had never happened. Like at the beginning of April, I was just floating around, waiting for something to happen, no home, no job, no man, etc. Then of course, Pa died. but like, if I pretend that I never went to Manila....
ah forget it. it stings and burns like fire but in a way of course i am glad to not have to leave america or my family and friends. back to the middle class though, tee hee.
What's good: I believe in my voicebox again. It still works. And I wanna use it more and stuff, to like, do things with it. And make people cry. That's important in singing.
Thanks for everything, God and Dad. Vicissitudes is a good word to be able to use in real life. And Scrabble.
Do I ask for hugs too often?
