Sa sobrang aborido ko sa buhay, nag-ikot-ikot muna ko sa paligid-ligid ng mundo ng internet at makasalamuha ko itong baboy na 'to. "Mystic Pig" ang tawag nya sa sarili nya (tignan ang kalakip na larawan. Baka nasa tabi-tabi lang sya).

Kung mistiso ang baboy na 'to kaya "mystic" ang terminolohiya nya sa sarili nya, hindi ko na alam. Pero hindi na rin masama dahil sinagot nya ang ilan sa mga katanungan na pilit bumabagabag sa kaisipan ko. Narito ang naging takbo ng usapan namin:

Napundi na ako at wala nang maisip na itanong. Kaya minabuti kong tapusin na ang kagaguhan na 'to at bumalik na sa trabaho.

Lesson learned: Baboy syang kausap!
