In the first dream, I was a professional GoKart racer. The track where the race was to take place was located along J.P. Rizal St. in Makati. I was supposed to be competing with this actor (whose name I won't reveal) and for some reason I beat him fair and square.
Now, I'm no GoKart racer and I doubt if HE was one too. The closest I got to a GoKart was the "paddle car" dad bought me when I was a kid. So my victory would've been suspect. And in my dream...it was.
After winning the race, I was confronted by this actress (whose name I won't reveal either) who vociferously voiced her suspicion. I didn't like the way she spoke to me so I "agreed with her in a very unusual way". But this didn't seem to appease her so I called to one of my "peeps" and have them show her my GoKart and my trophy. (For some reason, my GoKart was pink and it was made mostly of plastic. It was so light I was able to lift it with one hand.)
With that, I took my leave. I sashayed over to my car where a friend was waiting. As we whiled the time shooting the breeze, I asked my friend why the aforementioned actor arrived thirty minutes after the race had ended. (I suppose that's the reason why I beat him in the first place.)
My second dream had something to do with...Optimus Prime. In this dream we were living in this huge swanky house. It looked like my uncle's house in Marikina except the walls and the floor were beige. Curiously we had a house guest...former GMA newcaster Georgette Tengco. (I wrote about this weird GMA newscast in my Friendster blog and she seemed very amused by it.)
It seems that everyone in the household was a fan of Optimus Prime. At one point, a cousin of mine (the one who owes me 12,000 pesos) had me haul her Optimus Prime toy to her room. (It was three feet long!) Afterwards, Georgette invited me to the room she was staying in and showed me her Optimus Prime toy. It was only four inches tall but for some reason it was able to transform into...Galvatron (?!)...albeit a female Galvatron (!?). She seemed very excited about her toy until I told her that my toy was bigger and that my brother's was bigger still. That got her excited even more as she stood there with her eyes wide open and her mouth agape as if she was saying "Whoa!"
Some may find it odd that women are attracted to what is generally considered a "boy's toy". But ever since the live-action Transformers movie came out last year, the "robots in disguise" have acquired quite a female following. Fellow deviantArtist "Morwen20" is a fan as is ABS-CBN newscaster Cheryl Cosim who raved about the movie in her morning news show "Gising Pilipinas".
Oddly enough, my brother, my cousin and I don't own Optimus Prime toys. BUT...we did own that hulking die-cast Voltes V robot made by Popy back in the 70s. That thing was so huge it makes its "Soul of Chogokin" counterpart look like a peepsqueak.
