Ang kaso eh sa Tokyo, every square centimeter counts, so tables at some cafes are placed close to each other, sometimes uncomfortably close. I don't mind this arrangement as long as the person sitting next to our table is quiet.
Usually, most Japanese are quiet naman at cafes, unang una eh dahil nag-iisa lang sila. Unfortunately itong katabi namin eh, tipong may ka-date na classmate nya in HS yata. Ewan ko ba, he was the loudest and most fidgety guy I have ever seen at a cafe!
Yung pa kyut nya sa girl date nya eh parang may nakapasok na alupihan sa pantalon nya. The newspaper force field helped a bit until I read that Man U is just a game away from clinching the English Premier Championship which was on the last page. I even tried reading a bit off C's newspaper but my Nihongo level isn't up to it.
I guess it was the coffee that made him fidgety. The girl was pretty cool, and she was keeping her voice down so as to tell the guy... "huuy, ang lakas ng boses mo, magkaharap lang tayo!"
So with all my reading stuff done, I started doodling, and he also became a bit quiet and less fidgety...aahh... peace be with us.
