My Brightest Star

SOL "He's cute—no, he's hot! Gosh, I can give my soul to him if he'll just let me!" "Are you stupid? He doesn't fall in love. Maybe he's gay? In his 3 years of career, he's the only one in the group who has always been in the headline. Phoenix is the best leader of the band and falling in love is not his style." "How did you know that?" "Because I know him very much. I know every detail of his life... even the moles in his body, I know exactly where they are." All I have to do is to raise my brow as I listen to my students who seemed not to notice that I'm already standing behind them. "Really? So, where can we locate his moles?" I asked. "He has a mole on the left part of his chest—Oh my God! Sorry, Miss Sol!" she almost fell on her seat in surprise. Well, I can't blame them. I smiled inwardly but made sure to keep my blank face. I can see myself to them when I was still studying. Years ago, I was exac

Sol   Today is the day.  Everything is settled and everyone is excited.  I can see how my best friend's eyes twinkle as she walks down the aisle.  It seems like she's the happiest woman in the whole universe.  The ceremony had started when someone came, getting the attention of all the people in the venue. He apologized and motioned the priest to continue what he's doing in a stupid way that made everyone laugh, except me. His hair is dyed white like Jack Frost.  His smiles were the same but he looks tired because of the circles under his eyes.  Our eyes met, and for the first time in after ten years, my heart skips a beat and seems like millions of needles fissure my heart. I look away and tried to avoid his gaze the whole ceremony but I can feel that he's staring at me.  Our hands touch many times as we do our p

I was still in a bad mood until I got home.Buti nalang talaga at half day lang yung pasok ko ngayon. Di na nga ako nakapagpaalam kina Alvie eh.If you're wondering who is Ronan, he was my almost-boyfriend. For a fan girl like me, it’s impossible to like a guy other than my idol. You may think I’m overacting but you can ask any fan girl and they’ll say the same thing—unless that normal guy is exceptionally good or we saw something that made him stand out.Ronan and I’s relationship didn't turn out well because he fell in love with another girl. Nasaktan ako? Malamang.Sino bang hindi? Umasa ako eh. Kaso pinagmukha niya akong tanga. Not to sound too bitter but that’s what actually happened.Too ease my already bad mood, kinuha ko nalang yung phone ko. Mag sspazz nalang ako. Medyo busy kami ni Avie sa mga reportings pero that doesn’t mean we’ll stop doing what we’re used to.

7 pm na din at may mga bisita pa rin sa baba. Balak pa ba nilang makipag dinner dito? Nakaupo ako sa terrace ng kwarto ni Alvie. Nasabi ko na ba? Mayaman sila. Nasa America kasi yung papa nya.   Napatingin ako sa garden nila. Nandun si Phoenix, kasama nung mga barkada nya. Nag iinuman yata.   "Sol."   Napalingon ako sa nagsalita.   Si Alvie lang pala. Mukha siyang tanga kasi ngingiti-ngiti siya na parang nakasinghot ng sampung katol.   "Baliw ka?" I asked her.   "Oo bes! Baliw na baliw!” sabay tawa pa niya, “Ang gwapo talaga nya~"   Napakunot yung noo ko. Sino na naman ba bukod sa BTS, EXO, Bigbang, Seventeen, Astro at iba pang boy group?   "Si Chalk! May gas!"   "Nasaan yung gas? Inlab ka sa chalk bes?"   Sinamaan ako ng tingin ni Alvie.   "Ang jeje mo be

I noticed how my parents more often my parents have quarrel now. I don’t want to actually meddle because it’s not my place to do so. "You can't do this to us!" Napahinto ako sa tapat ng kwarto nina Mommy. I guess it’s one of those days again. Sometimes it’s getting tiring. They won’t fight when Zeck is here and kinda wish he’s here right now. Mom’s voice is too loud I’m afraid the neighbors will hear. "I'm sorry, but I don't have any option. I didn't mean it..." Dad's voice broke.                 Curious of what they are fighting about this time, I stand closer to the door and try to eavesdrop. "Di mo man lang inisip yung anak mo! Bakit ngayon mo lang sinasabi?! Matagal na pala yan!" Biglang bumukas yung pinto kaya gulat silang tumingin s
