Nadine Samonte is a popular Filipina-German actress currently working in the Philippines. Check out her Wikipedia profiles in English and Tagalog. (I wrote the latter).
I don't remember much of this dream. From what I do remember, I was part of a group of travelers (hikers?) that for some reason included Nadine Samonte. When we returned to "home base" (a hotel maybe), everyone in the group was dog-tired and we briefly convened in a room. After that, everybody retired to their respective rooms. But before I could return to mine, I saw Nadine Samonte plop into a chair and doze off. I wondered if she was ill and began to feel her forehead to see if she had a fever. It was then that her boyfriend emerged from an adjoining room and proceeded to see if Nadine was all right. Soon after, he gently woke up Nadine whereupon they left the room together.
Left on my own, I switched on one of the TV sets to while the time away. It was then that two suspicious-looking men entered the room. One of them switched on another TV set while another lounged in bed...his head perched in front of yet a third TV set. They looked very suspicious that I barked at one of them and demanded he surrender the TV remote controls. I don't know why but in hindsight, it was weird.

Boy, am I in a bind right now! I live in a crappy neighborhood. I have health problems. And most recently, I have financial problems as well. The way I feel right now, I wish I were on a vacation! And this morning, I got my wish...sort of.
I dreamt I was in a vacation somewhere far away. I don't know where it was exactly but I know the commute was rather long. I'm not sure how I got there (Jeep? Bus?) but I get a clue later in the dream. The place itself was a mystery. Right now, I'm guessing it might be the so-called "Mountain Province"...what with the presence of people that looked like Igorots as well as chapels that boast of Spanish architectural details that make them look like the Barasoain Church.
As in most of my dreams, the place had many quirks:
1. I remember encountering certain relics in my dream that made the place look like ancient Egypt for some reason. That's probably because I was watching "The Mummy Returns" on cable late last night and early this morning.
2. Outside one of the chapels was a huge stylized statue of a little Igorot boy. The statue must have been illuminated by a lamp of some sort because it glowed a pink-purple-sky blue color.
3. Chapels are usually adorned with a crucifix above its entrance to identify it as belonging to a Christian denomination. The chapels in my dream were adorned with something else. In fact, one of them was adorned by a Chinese-Japanese letter. Basically, it was a cross that has a line underneath. It forms the word "shi" which means "warrior".
Despite these (or because of these) the dream had a pleasant quality to it. The place was sunny...marked by a clear blue morning sky. Looking at the sky, I found myself trying to figure out how to get home. It was then that I spied the LRT but not the LRT as I knew it. Instead of being perched on drab monolithic stone piers, this LRT stood on top of a bright yellow aqueduct-like structure with arches adorned by red bricks.

Well, we're midway through the Major League Baseball season. I get to watch games every weekend on ESPN and that's probably why I had this dream:
In it, I got the opportunity to watch a baseball game live. It was a late afternoon game and I had a seat up in the terrace. As we waited for the game to start, I watched the crowd as they cheered their favorite baseball team. They were very enthusiastic as they cheered and clapped their hands. I even saw a guy and his five year old daughter cheerfully clapping their hands with the rest of the crowd.
When I woke up, I noticed something was wrong with my dream: although I had a good view of the crowd, from where I was sitting, I couldn't see the playing field!

I don’t remember much about my dream this morning except that my brother and I were to deliver something to the South Cemetery in Makati City. In my dream, the South Cemetery was located along J.P. Rizal Street. In reality, it’s located along Kalayaan Avenue running alongside J.P. Rizal.
Aside from the main gate, people enter and exit the South Cemetery by going over the wall along its perimeter. In my dream, my brother and I went through a hole in the wall.
This might seem a morbid dream to some but not me. After all, I used to work in a cemetery myself. It was back in 1992, when I worked for my uncle. Back then, he asked me to oversee the construction of his parents’ mausoleum in the North Cemetery in La Loma, Quezon City. I spent about three months in the North Cemetery and I’d since gotten used to walking the land of the dead.
By the way, that thing in my dream about going through a hole in a wall in the cemetery happened in real life too. It’s quite a long story, so I’ll just save that for another time.
