beddie bye

of late, in the wake of the punctured airbed, have been going home to pasay on a daily basis. day before yesterday, however, sleepiness overcame me before the trip home: ergo pilar.

just in case, brought along my little bottle of rugby contact cement (purchased to fix a flapping sole-front-tab-thingie on one of my rubbershoes) with the aim of perhaps fixing the airbed in macgyver fashion.

right. inflate bed. bed inflated. lean bed up on wall, topside facing wall. running my hand over the suspected area of the leak reveals nothing. okaay... so far so good.

sleep.

awaken to bed half-deflated. better than the last time, when i actually was on the floor. this time, there were a couple of inches of air keeping me, well, aloft.

ah. decision time.

lunchtime sees me off to the local sm mall, and i purchase something that i've been looking at for months now: a buy one take one deal on a foam-core folding sofa/bed (single size, as far as beds are concerned) - and a less than ideal sofa.

but the thing about it is that it folds into four sections and can be used momentarily as a sofa -- so it actually doesn't need to be stored away when not in use as a bed. as a bonus, in my room at the pilar apartment, folding it into a sofa reclaims me some precious floor space.

so there's a good thing. also another thing, but that'll have to await a later post, when i can best figure out how to describe what happened next.

and the airbed? i may yet find time to locate and fix the hole (the thing could still be useful); but for now, its deflated, folded, stored away.
