Beep! Beep! Beep! 

My alarm sounds really loud, but it's effective. Since lagi akong nagt-trabaho, lagi rin akong late magising, but that's before. I know now how to set an alarm when I know that I should wake up early. Just like today. 

Nakalimutan kong maaga ang schedule ng class ko ngayon kaya nag work ako kagabi sa Grab. Usually, I'll try not to take any Grabs or Deliveries at night kapag maaga ako dahil nga late akong nagigising. Now I feel groggy and sleepy, but what choice do I have? 

Nag ayos na ako at kumain ng almusal to energize my tired body and soul. I just have one class for today so that means I can work for Grab or shopee. Later at night, shift ko na sa 7/11. Ning always nags me about my schedules, bakit daw ang dami ko laging ginagawa? 

It's not really hard. Nakakapagod lang, but it's normal. Sinong hindi mapapagod sa ganitong lifestyle? 

And of course, having a motor gives me the privilege to get on my classes just on time. Mabilis at nakakalusot ako sa traffic, although it's not entirely a right thing to do. 

2 hours lang ang klase ko ngayon, different from our usual classes that takes really a lot of time. Pero madalas namang mag dismiss agad ang mga Prof dahil tamad rin silang magturo. 

Just saying. 

Usually, after our class, nagm-meet kami ni Ning sa cafeteria or we'd eat outside. Now though, pareho kaming pagod kaya narito kami sa cafeteria. 

"How's last night?" I asked her. 

"Oks lang. Meron ngang isang Foreigner na customer, kung hindi lang ako marunong mag English, baka mali mali na directions na naturo ko sa kaniya! Hinahanap niya yung hotel diyan malapit sa apartment mo, yung Solo Hotel." Kwento niya. "Sabi niya pa, 'asan hotel mo?' syempre natakot ako kasi bakit niya tinatanong nasaan hotel ko diba kahit wala naman akong hotel! Edi nag-English na ako kasi pareho lang naming pinapahirapan sarili namin. Kaloka." 

Tawa lang kami nang tawa. Ning's stories never gets old. Ganito lang din kami palagi, kwentuhan ng mga ganap sa buhay. It's our simplest way of bonding with each other. Malapit na kasi kaming magsawa sa isa't isa. Joke. 

After talking for a while, umalis na rin kami kasi may klase pa siya habang ako, may id-deliver nang parcels. 

First parcel. Karina Yu. 09234567891. And I may be working day and night, but I know I can remember well. The address here is also the address of that drunk girl that I drove home last night. Pero hindi ko lang alam yung name. Coincidence? 

There's also a note left by this Karina Yu, saying, "Can you please deliver it at the front of my door? I don't trust that my parcel will be safe downstairs."
