maria

Date: 5th of July 2008
Location: Torre del Pozzo, Caglieri, Sardegna, Italia

This fateful but unfruitful encounter happened when we (read Pek U and I) continued our road trip in Sardegna from Bosa to Oristano after getting our "stolen" petrol back. That happened thanks to an ancient system of pumping petrol.

Anyhoo, we passed mountain settlings of Magomadass and Medolo, which has kick-ass scenery. (Gosh, I think the word "breathtaking" bored me already.) It's different from the mountainous scenery in Malaysia. The green bush looks like it sprouted out of the limestone. They looked like green scattered face hair of a boy who just reached puberty.

On we go and we reached the city of Caglieri after driving along the coastal road. Caglieri is a very small city hidden between the hills and the ocean. It's a no brainer why we can find a lot of beach here. But since we practically had ocean all over us, we didn't plan on stopping here until ...

I saw a wonderful back of a young Sardinians (17, maybe 18) through the viewfinder (How ironic?) of Pek U's video camera. Immediately I said to Pek U, "U, baju merah tepi tu smart, blake la tapi. Tgk muke smart dok ...". We turned around after we passed her (Pek U forgotten already that he's supposed to drive.) and our blood shoot up! We go like "ZOMG! ZOMG!" because she look way better from the front. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better. From the cloth she wears, I guess she's going to the beach and we're gonna have a field day.

Needless to say, we change our plan and stop at the beach where Maria is headed to (Pek U conveniently gave that name and I don't know why. After that we sang "Maria Ave Maria" from the Korean movie 200 Pounds Beauty for one full day). And "Yes!" we said to ourself when we saw her there lying elegantly with a book and doning a white two-piece with pink tribal motive to make the bikini looks cute. A comical Japanese would have nosebleed right away.

With a sight like that, what else do young mens to do but other then making a fool of themselves and walk from one beach end to another many, many times. After we figured out that it's too obvious, we did a sightseeing of a cliff nearby (If only I have an army bino, I can skodeng from there some more *lol*) and as a result we lost here. Feeling down, we headed to our Twingo to continue our journey to Oristano.

And yet again Maria appeared looking tanner and still stunning. We lost her because she was going home. That makes sense. And again Pek U missed the scene. Not satisfied with that, he made an emergency u-turn (With screeching and stuff) but by then Maria has made a turn for her house. We lost her again and Pek U moaned about it for the whole damn trip.

Maybe we'll see her again in our dream, our meditaranean beauty.

A photo of her back as a proof. (Sorry about the quality but what do you expect of a still pic from a camcorder?)


P/S: Sorry about the lateness of the post. I'm procrastinating to da max!
