Well…not exactly “Part 2”. In this dream, I was in Sta. Rosa, Laguna accompanying a former “Starstruck” contestant who was to interview Nadine Samonte. Nadine currently lives in Sta Rosa and she was a “Starstruck” contestant herself. For the record, I don’t know who the actor is and I’ve never been to Sta. Rosa, Laguna.
We found Nadine in a small apartment in a place that looks kind of like the corner of Taft Avenue and Buendia (the LRT is very visible). In reality, Nadine lives in a big house in a Sta. Rosa subdivision…which Nadine paid for with her earnings as an actress.
After quick introductions, the interview was undeway. The interview included short comedic skits and in one of them, Nadine held a kitchen knife to my nose a la Roman Polanski’s “Chinatown”. (I wonder if she was trying to tell me something then.) During the interview, I even spied one of my high school classmates walking the street.
And as the interview wound down, I tried to figure how I was going to go home. I remember the actor and I commuted to Sta. Rosa on a bus. It was then that I spied a jeepney whose drop off point was a supermarket. Shortly after though, I’d forgotten the name of the superarket and I remember snapping my fingers trying to decide whether it was, “Puremarket? Puregold?”
After the interview ended, the actor and I got into an argument. He said he wasn’t familiar with the bus route we took and begged me to accompany him home to Sta. Rosa, Laguna…which was odd considering that that was where we were all along.

My dream this morning is the closest thing I have to a nightmare in years. And it was scary during the last second.
In it, I was at home...and home looked kind of like one of those abandoned ICBM silos that had since been converted into residences. (I hear your could buy those for a buck back then.)
Anyway, I was lounging at home...in the bedroom...in bed...listening to some tunes on a portable mp3 player (which I don't have in real life).
Suddenly, there was this small eagle that began hovering in front of me. It was a golden eagle and what was weird about it was the way it hovered. Instead of flapping its wings, this one hovered in mid-air...vertically! Its wings were still as its beak pointed straight up and its tail pointe straight down. The way it hovered, it looked like the head of a fish dangling in mid-air. And it gets weirder!
As it floated in mid-air, it seemed to sway side to side as if dancing the waltz. (Johann Strauss' Blue Danube Waltz would have made for great accompaniment.) The eagle did that for a couple of seconds. Then without warning, it fell to my chest! I thought it might have died or something! When I removed the eagle from my chest, it looked like a total wreck! It seemed like some of its body parts were missing...particuarly its head! No offense to all you eagles out there but...EUWGH!
After that, I placed the eagle on the bed next to me and...IT LEAPED INTO THE AIR!
I screamed....and woke up.

Continuing my celebrity motif, I dreamt about Sandara Park this morning. Sandara is a Korean actress who’s currently working here in the Philippines.
This is the third time I’ve dreamt about Sandara (“Sandy” to her fans). The first time I dreamt about her, the dream looked like this:
This is from Sandy’s TV musical special "Sandara: Ang Pambansang Krung-Krung ng Pilipinas". In the TV special, she wore a pink gown. I changed it to blue to match my dream. As Sandy sang on stage, I, along with the rest of the audience, milled around the stage.
In my second dream, I was at this shindig at a place that looked like a cross between Intramuros and a Chinese garden. It was early evening and Sandy and I were leaning against a huge rectangular well that’s made of stone. Sandy seemed transfixed by a lake in front of us. It was covered in fog giving it a dream-like quality. I looked at the well behind us and noted that it was very old and covered with moss. I was about to ask Sandy if they had wells like that in Korea when suddenly, the party ended. People climbed up the stone stairs to where Sandy and I were. Among those people was Shaina Magdayao…but that’s another story.
In my dream this morning, I was supposedly going to this big movie premiere. I didn’t know which movie it was (Star Wars? Transformers?). I later found out that it was Sandy’s new movie. In this dream, I didn’t get to see Sandy in person. Instead, I saw scenes of her at the premiere where she’d sing to the audience before the movie was shown. But instead of singing in front of the audience, she was in the lodge/deluxe section moving up and down the stairs as she sang. In one scene, she was singing to a group of high school girls, much to their delight.
The scene shifted outside the movie house where a group of people discussed Sandy’s next show. It was an out-of-town show commemorating Rizal Day. The show was set up by…well, I’m not gonna say who they are except that they’re a powerful political family.
