Small steps in the right direction equates to taking big steps. Entering college brought confusions and doubts to me, making it difficult for me to choose the path to take. Dream against practicality. Practicality makes life better in the financial aspect, but nothing beats life where dreams are achieved.

I survived college. The four years of survival chapters finally came to an end. I am grateful for where I am, and I'm excited for where I'm going even when the path is still uncertain.

The graduation anthem echoed in each corner of the room. Gumala ang mga mata ko sa buong paligid. Our batch will graduate, at last. Nangingibabaw ang kasiyahan sa mga mata nila at sa ngiting nakapaskil sa mga labi nila.

I'm happy to graduate, but there's still a missing piece within me. Lahat sila ay mayroong mga kasama. Someone to walk them to the stage. Hindi ko sigurado kung darating pa rin ngayon ang taong nangako na sasama sa'kin sa araw na 'to. We lost touch since the day of the photoshoot in

    "Ang sarap nito! Try niyo, dali." Namamanghang usal ni Naiah habang hawak ang stick ng seafood. "Come on, try it." Inilapit niya sa mga labi ko ang hawak na stick para ipatikim sa'kin ang kinakain niya. I opened my mouth and tried it. Sandali ko itong iniwanan sa dila ko para mas malasahan iyon. Bumilog ang mga mata ko nang mapagtantong masarap nga iyon. It was a grilled buttered shrimp. Wala na itong balat at tanging laman na lang nito ang nakalagay sa stick. It's my first time trying grilled shrimp. She did the same to Hailey. Parehas kami nang naging reaksyon nang matikman ang inihaw na hipon. "Magkano 'yan? Masarap nga!" Sambit ni Hailey. She was covering her mouth with one hand, but we could hear the amusement in her tone. Bumaling ito sa nagtitinda. "Pa-ihaw din po ako ng buttered shrimp, 'yung may cheese at spices po ang sa'kin. Tatlong sticks po." "Huy, ang takaw." Pagpuna rito ni Ismael bago siya tumingin kay Naiah. "Patikim nga ako. Duda ako sa taste buds niyo." Sumama

    "Uuna na kami sa dagat, Zeidan. Sumunod kayo ni Celeste, ha! We'll make a reservation for tonight's dinner." Narinig kong sambit ng boses ng isang babae. "Kapag hinanap niya kami mamaya, pakisabi hinihintay namin siya. Hihintayin namin kayo sa tabing-dagat." "Kamusta na ba si Celeste?" Pagtatanong dito ng isa pang babae. "We can help in taking care of her. Mayroon ba kaming magagawa?" "She's still sleeping. Don't worry, I'll make sure to inform you once she's awake. Hindi rin siya matutuwa kung malalaman niyang inasikaso niyo siya buong maghapon. She'll be carrying the guilt, for sure." Naring kong sambit ni Zeidan. I was tightly closing my eyes under the blanket. Nagising lang ako nang marinig ang boses nang mga taong nag-uusap-usap kanina. They were talking in minimized voices, but the loudness was enough to wake me up. Nanatili ako sa ilalim ng kumot dahil sa lamig ng buong silid. The air-condition was turned on. Hinintay kong makalabas ang mga kaibigan ko bago ako lumabas mula

    "Kamukha mo 'to, Ismael." Sambit ni Naiah. She couldn't talk properly because of the food in her mouth. "Tapon-ulo kayo pareho." She was raising the shrimp, showing it to the guy friend. Pabirong sumama ang timpla ng mukha ni Ismael habang kumakain. The table was filled with laughter and witty jokes. Since it was mid-afternoon when we arrived at our destination, the group decided to take the brunch for the whole-day energy. We chose the restaurant named 'Thirty-Seven Degrees Seafood'. "Eat this, Isla." Sambit ni Zeidan bago inilagay sa harapan ko ang parte ng alimango. "Anong inumin ang gusto mo?" Bumaling ang mga mata ko sa lamesa. There were two towers on top of it. Isang para sa four seasons, at isang para sa blue lemonade. Hindi kami sa plato kumakain. The restaurant served our food on a wax-paper table roll instead of plates. "Four seasons." Tugon ko rito. Kakainin ko pa lang sana ang hinimay niyang alimango para sa'kin nang makaramdam ako nang matinding pagbaliktad ng sikm

    "Celeste, gising na!" A loud voice from a woman pulled me out of my deep sleep. "Lower down your voices, please. Hindi pa 'yan nakakapagpahinga." It was Zeidan's voice. There were different voices exchanging words around me. Napadilat ako ng mga mata at kunot-noong hinanap ang pinagmumulan ng mga boses na iyon. Bumilog ang mga mata ko at mabilis akong pumasok sa ilalim ng kumot na bumabalot sa katawan ko. "Zeidan, let them out first. Please." Malakas kong sambit sa halos pasigaw nang boses. The girls were standing on the edge of the bed when I opened my eyes, while another man was leaning against the wall. I'm not comfortable showing anyone myself yet. Kakagising ko pa lang. Hindi pa ako nakakapag-asikaso ng sarili ko. "Gumayak ka na, Celeste. Baka hindi natin maabutan ang flight, sayang 'yon." Narinig kong sambit ni Naiah. She was laughing in between her words. "Don't forget to pack your bikinis. Bilisan mo, ha." Tumatawang pagdugtong sakaniya ni Hailey. "Kapag hindi mo binili

    In my entire life, I have been carrying many different names. I was a provider, a walking ATM, and a lifeline. Yet, I was never a daughter who was worth being loved and taken care of. Sarili kong pamilya ang nagparamdam sa'kin na hindi ako mahalaga kung wala akong perang kayang ibigay. Hindi ako kailangan kung wala akong silbi. They were my own blood, but it was them who drained me until I forgot how it felt to be alive as a human. Hanggang sa dumating siya. Dumating si Ate Xyline. She made me experience how it felt to have a family. She stood by me and acted as my refuge and anchor. She showed me how it felt like to be loved, and I felt the same for her. I still do. I will always do.But hearts could sometimes be cruel and selfish. While the love of Ate Xyline belongs to Zeidan, his love has never been hers to claim. It was meant for me. I never made the decision to own it, but I couldn't resist falling for him. Each day, I have been falling deeper into his warm arms, those that Ate

    Against my skin, the cold breeze of the night brushed and seeped into me. It served as a quiet reminder of how time flew so fast. Past in silence, the days have slipped. Before I could feel it, graduation had come and gone. I still can't get over the idea that everything I've waited for a long period in my life had already went pass my eyes. The bittersweet memories of that day until I stepped on the land of San Vicente remained with me. It was unshakable and undeniable, it was engraved on the deepest of my soul. Time never stopped ticking. It only moved faster and pulled me, unminding whether I was ready or not. Suddenly, the world revolving around me felt different. The cameras were clicking in steady, yet familiar rhythm while the flashes were bursting like the stars that blink on the dark skies. The set rose alive. There were stylist everywhere. Ang iba sakanila ay inaayos ang buhok ng ibang models, mayroong iba na naghahanda ng mga kasuotan, habang ang iba naman ay abala sa pag
