Life challenges will turn you into a stronger person, they say. But why do I feel like Iv'e been getting weaker with everything that's going on in my life.  My father once said to me that there will always be a reason why you meet people and it's either you need them to change you or you're the one that will change their life.  Some people we met are just like a passers by in our life, they will knock into your life and you'll welcome them but eventually they'll leave you anytime soon. Kagaya kung paano siya dumating sa buhay ko. Pero lahat siguro ng dumadating umaalis, and worst is, minsan ang umaalis ay hindi na bumabalik.  I wish he wasn't running in my mind all the time. Pero kahit sa pagpikit ng aking mga mata siya pa rin ang aking nakikita. Memories from the past are so fresh to me na para bang it just happened yesterday. But truth is, two years had already passed yet here I am still in the process o

Pagkatapos ng klase ay agad na akong umuwi sa amin. Nagyaya pa si Lucy na sumama ako sa kanila mag bar but I decline kasi kailangan ko pang mag review para sa exam bukas.Nasa labas pa lang ako ng bahay namin ay rinig ko na ang pag- aaway ni mama at papa. This past few weeks I noticed their small fights and I just let it pass kasi magbabati rin naman sila.But right now I don't think it's a small fight anymore." Stop it Fernando. Nagkita lang kami dahil may order siya sa akin. It's just for business " mahinahong paliwanag ni mama.Nasa sala sila. Hindi nila naramdaman Ang presensya ko dahil sa kanilang pagtatalo. I am an only child kaya naman ay wala akong kahati sa pagmamahal at atensiyon ng mga magulang ko. They supported me in everything and they love me so dearly. Pero hindi ako spoiled, may pagka attitude lang. " I know that you're having a secret aff

I didn't believe as to what Troy had told me yesterday, that he'll be courting me. Not when he's in front of our fucking classroom right now na may dalang pagkain at bulaklak. It's our lunch break kaya wala na masyadong estudyante sa classroom. Kita ko sa bintana ang pasulyap- sulyap niya sa loob like he's searching for someone. " Shane may naghahanap sayo sa labas " ani Bridgette kaklase koI just nod at her. I have a guts that it's really Troy and I just confirm it ng nakita ko si Lucy palapit sa akin na may nanunuksong ngiti. " Ikaw ah di mo sinasabi sa akin na nanliligaw pala si Troy sayo. Kung hindi ko pa siya sa tinanong kung ano sadya niya ay hindi ko pa malalaman " Paano ko sasabihin e pagkatapos niyang sabihin na he'll be courting me e wala ng siyang ibang sinabi bukod pa roon. Malay ko ba kung nagbibiro lang siya. Hindi ko rin naman siya sinagot kung papayag ba ako.Kahapon kasi panay lang ang tingin at sery

Alas siete na ng naka uwi ako sa bahay. Hindi pa sana gusto ni Troy na umuwi but I convince him to go home. And gladly he listens to me, I am happy to be able to be with Troy's side to comfort him from what he's been through. " Ma, nasaan si Papa? " Nasa kusina kami para sa hapunan at nagtaka ako kung bakit hindi ko nakita si Papa sa hapag kainan. I'm being used of us eating together every dinner at nakakapanibago lang that it's the first time na hindi siya sumabay sa amin. " Sabi ng Papa mo Shane mag o-overtime daw siya ngayon sa trabaho niya, wala daw kasi ang isa sa katrabaho niya kaya siya na ang pumalit ", paliwanag ni mama sa akin. Isinantabi ko na lang ang aking mga iniisip. At nagsimula na lang kaming kumain, and as usual me and my mother will always have a chit chat of just anything we like to talk to. We always have this mother and daughter time. My mother is very kind and s

Tulala at tahimik ako sa biyahe at si Troy naman ay lingon ng lingon sa akin ng hindi umiimik,  kaya mas lalo kung naalala ang nangyari kanina. I can't believe it! I just kissed him! And it's because of misinterpreting his action. Kaya,I should be more mindful by now. Kung hindi ko pa narinig ang pagsira niya ng pinto ay hindi ko pa namamalayan na nakarating na pala kami at nandito na sa harap ng bahay. Nakita kung lumiko siya at papunta sa banda ko, kaya agad kung kinalas ang seat belt ko. I don't want to make the same mistake again! He open the door for me, kaya agad akong lumabas. We are so close to each other, that I have to take a step sideways para mas may distansya kami sa isa't-isa." Thank you", sabay naming sambit, dahilan para matawa kami.He licked his lips and and look me in the eyes. Hindi ko binitawan ang titig ko sa kanya. I'm waiting for what he will gonna say." Thank you for your time, S
