Sketch No. 138

This is weird, I dreamt about my old friends from high school. Night scene they just showed up on a van without a driver seat. Inside the van are my friends Richie (who died recently), Jaime Popoy Nicolas and outside Andy Villanueva, Ding Evangelista, Bubut Buenviaje, Amy Perez, Floriza Nepomuceno and Winnie Inocencio. They are just saying hi to me.

Another scene, inside filthy toilet and i'm changing my clothes and when I realized how dirty the toilet was I went out and saw Ding & Andy and all of my friends (the one I drew).

Another scene when Bubut teach me and try to massage my back but I told her..."no, i'm fine".
I walk on a vacant lot beside the firewall and and turn around & I saw again my friends on the van.

When I woke up, I immediately get a paper & sketch my friends quickly.
