Today is Sunday. Wala akong pasok and as usual, Takahiro is taking over.

We're currently playing in the garden. Sabi kasi ni Emory ay maglaro raw kaming tatlo ng hide and seek. At dahil uto-uto kami ni Eero, sumunod kami.

"Ready or not here I come!" sabi ko at nagsimulang mag hanap. Ako kasi ang taya ngayon.

I heard a giggle nearby kaya unti-unti akong lumapit sa isang bush. Emory's probably here!

"I got you!" mukhang ako pa ang nagulat nang makita nga si Emory doon.  Tawa siya nang tawa dahil sa gulat kong mukha. Nakakaloka!

Naglaro pa kami hanggang sa nagsawa na kakatago si Emory. He keeps on suggesting some activities that we should do today.

The next activity that we decided to do next is movie marathon. Si Eero na ang nagluto ng popcorn habang kami ni Emory ay pumipili ng papanoorin. Sobrang laki ng tv ni Eero akala mong nasa sinehan ka, e. Even his sound system feels like you're in a cinema. Pero siyempre exaggerated lang ako.

Naka limang movie kami. Puro pang bata. Si Emory lang ang nag enjoy pero ayos lang. Napipikit na nga ako sa sobrang antok. Nanonood naman ngayon ng Over the Moon si Emory. Nasa gitna namin siya ni Eero at mukhang wala pa siyang balak tumigil. Tahimik lang din siya at nakatitig nang maigi sa tv.

"Look at the world surrounding you

All possibility

Every moment we have is a chance at

something nеw to glow

To grow...

Do you ever feel afraid?

Curl up when you arе hurting

And hold your memories tight to you

Yeah, me too..."

Tinitigan ko ang tv at parang unti-unti kong na-aapreciate 'yong movie. Mas maganda talaga manood kapag sa malaki. The movie's storyline is beautiful, too.

"If you release the past

You'll move ahead and bloom at last

The heart grows and it knows

You can glow

You're wonderful..."

Every song in the movie is inspirational. Akala ko pambata lang ito pero you can learn a lot. The movie isn't even done yet!

Maybe the reason why I'm scared to risk again is because I can't let go of the past. I'm still stucked. It's still hurting me. Pero anong mangyayari sa'kin kung nananatili pa rin ako sa nakaraan?

After the movie, my son decided to watch another movie. Then, I heard my phone beeped kaya kinuha ko iyon sa gilid ko.

Unknown : Sleepy?

Kahit unregistered 'yong number ay alam ko na agad kung sino ang nag text. I glared at Eero. Nagsayang pa siya ng load!

I typed in 'Where did you get my number?'
