TRIGGER WARNING ⚠️

-----

Paano nga ba ang isang mundo ay umiikot ng hindi mo nararamdaman?

Ang oras ay tumatakbo at ang mga araw ay lumilipas na lang.

Sa sandaling, inaalala mo na lang ang kahapong nagdaan.

That tomorrow will go today and today will be just yesterday and the cycle of life never stops spinning.

At mapapa-upo ka na lang iniisip kung ano nga ba ang kahulugan ng buhay at kung bakit nagbabago ang panahon, pangyayari at mga tao.

There you are thinking that things in life are going to change and it is for you to realize, It's not about the changes it's about how you react to these changes, accept these changes and understand things change for a reason and usually it's for the better...

And there comes a time when you need to look at who is in your life, who you want in your life, who you need in your life and who you need to get out of your life...

Life is short ika nga.

Thus, my biggest regret in life is growing up too damn fast.

Sometimes I wish I could just be a little kid again. So when life gets tough you can just play pretend. I want to go back to when Santa did exist. When my daddy was the only boy I ever kissed. When Disney World was the best place to be. When the only movies you could see were rated G. When your biggest problem was learning to write your name and people didn't change...and your friends were the same.

And every time you were sad or you had a bad day. You could just run to mommy and it would all be okay. I want to go back to no hurt...and no pain...just laughter.

When everyone always lives happily ever after..

But I can't turn back time and nothing lasts forever, no matter how it feels today.

"Dora!"

Bigla akong nagising sa malakas na kalabog na narinig ko sa pinto.

"Dora, Anak ma-lelate ka na!" Sigaw ni mama.

Grabe naman maka-sigaw parang may sunog lang at parang masisira na ang pinto kaka-kalabog niya.

"Pandora!" Sigaw ulit ni Mama. Napabangon na ko sa kinahigaan ko dahil sa gulat.

Grabe sobrang antok pa ako, anong oras na ba?

Napalingon ako kung saan nakapatong ang alarm clock ko pero wala na iyon sa mesa.

Shucks! Bigla pumasok sa isip ko nag-alarm na ata yun at malamang naihagis ko na naman iyon kung saan, saka ko na lang muna 'yon hahanapin.

Napabalik higa ako at pumikit ulit saglit pero hindi na ako tinantanan ng sigaw ni Mama.

"Pandora, gumising ka na!!!!"

"Ma, Five more minutes!" Sagot ko saka nag-takip ng unan sa ulo.

"Dora!" Hiya niya.

Napabangon na ako nang tuluyan dahil sa ingay ni Mama kaya lumakad agad ako patungo sa pintuan.

Nang buksan ko ay si Mama agad ang nakita kong nakatayo.
