KARINA

Do you know that one feeling na parang sobrang ayaw sa’yo ng mundo? Right now, damang dama ko yun.

The day is only starting but yung problema ko? Pang buong araw na.

First in the list,

Puyat na naman ako. Buong gabi na naman akong nagaral.

It was already 3AM in the morning when I finished answering some worksheets and reviewing some topics na nadiscussed kanina while I was at the meeting. I burrowed Sun’s notes kasi. Hindi din naman ako nakatulog kaagad kaya I watched some K-Drama on my laptop. I only planned to watch one to two episodes.

...And that one to two episode ay nauwi sa apat kaya heto ako ngayon, isang oras lang halos ang tulog.

Second,

Yung cellphone ko, hindi mabuhay kasi walang charge, ang masama pa niyan, wala sa bag ko yung charger. I only remembered that Yeji burrowed it noong nasa bahay na ako.

A night without my cellphone is...nightmare.

I can’t live without it. Buti nalang I have laptop.

Third,

I opened my social media accounts sa laptop ko and the first thing na bumungad saakin is Gi’s message saying na may nahanap na daw siya na pwedeng ilaban sa battle of the bands, representing our section. Unfortunately, the one she picked....is one of my suitors.

Okay...maybe not, because apparently, nabasted ko na siya at never ko siyang pinayagang manligaw but masyado siyang persistent kahit alam naman niya na wala na talagang magbabago. Ever.

Pumayag naman siya kaagad and that is also why I was irritated because after ko siya makausap about the details, kinulit na niya ako. He keeps on asking nonsense things kaya dumating na talaga sa punto na kailangan ko i-log out yung account ko to have a peaceful night.

Ang kulit.

Meron talagang tao na hindi makaintindi ng salitang ‘no’.

“Sis!!! Grabe ka naaaa talagaaa!!” Sunoo is weird.

He’s always weird though but iba yung pagka-weird niya ngayon.

His smile and his looks towards me, para bang nangaasar siya?

What’s his problem? Even my glare didn’t affect him

“What is it this time Sun?” He didn’t answer me, instead, tinusok tusok niya lang yung tagiliran ko na para bang nangaasar siya

“Grabe hindi ko kinakaya ang tea of the day!” Okay. I’m sure its another chismis na nasagap na naman niya.

I don’t know but ‘chismis’ is his morning drink lagi. Para bang energy drink na kapag nasagap at nainom niya, ginaganahan siya.

“BABAITAAAA!!” Napapikit nalang ako. I forgot I still have five more crazy friends. Nakakahiya! Sa hallway pa talaga!

I don’t know them! Huhu

“Hoy teh, totoo ba?” I confusedly look at them. Ano bang sinasabi nila?

“I need contex” sabi ko at nagpatuloy sa paglalakad.

I woke up very early even though I didn't have enough sleep because I didn't want to be late. Hindi ko isasacrifice yun para sa chismis nila ‘no!

“Girl, you see, Ningning and her friends started another gossip and itong si Sunoo being the machismis that he is, nagchat sa GC natin. Hindi mo ba nabasa?” Ah yeah right.Lowbat nga pala ako

“Na-lowbat yung phone ko. May sira na yata. I remember lending you my charger because its already full, pero noong umuwi ako, its zero percent! As in hindi mag-open” Pagpapaliwanag ko sakanila at pumasok na sa room.

My classmates turn their heads saakin noong pagkapasok ko. Kahit yung mga nasa likod na akala kong tahimik ay nagsim
