Spring memoir

Chapter 3

We talked for a few more hours, it was 7 o'clock in the evening before we thought of going home, and we rested immediately when we arrived, since 5 Am ang flight namin bukas. I told manang to book the earliest flight, I also asked her if she wanted to go home to the philippines and I would take her with me. At first she refused but when I said that I would just take her as my personal nanny, so that she would still be given her salary and kuya agreed too it, siya nalang daw mag papaliwanag kay dad and mom.

Though I dont really need someone to take care of me, its just bata palang ako nagtatrabaho na siya dito, I know gusto niya narin makita ang family niya.

We arrived in the philippines at 9:14 am, we went home separately because they said papasok raw sila sa klase since sayang raw. Ako naman ay sa bahay na muna ni manang tutuloy, and tommorow we will look for a condo to stay with.

Pagkarating namin ay tumuloy agad ako sa kwartong pinahiram sakin ni manang, I opened instagram to post stories, I posted our picture outside the airport and I tagged them.

When I posted my cover of "Kanlungan" on youtube, I also thought of posting our video, yung "Playdate", Come to think of it we haven't watched it yet.

I was in the middle, seriously singing, pang isang tao lang yung upuan chair so, ako lang naka upo. Nix is standing on my right side holding a guitar, and on my left side naman si Ice na nakacross arms, she seems to have no interest in whats going on, habang yu ng tatlo ay nagbubulungan sa bandang likod ko.

When I started strumming, the three at back ay nagsimula naring sumayaw, both of their hands were raised and sinasabay nila ang movement nila sa beat, I laughed a bit dahil medyo slow yung kanta, and the way they swing their hands and heads, oh my god and their bodies para silang mga lasing, pero sa kalagitnaan ay namangha ako sa pag sayaw ni Maori. When the song was about to end, partner si Ice and Faustine they were dancing on my left side and partner naman si Maori Haynsee sa gitna namin ni Nixie, sa last past naman ay yung niyakap nila ako.

Even though the video was messy at first, it's still good.

Nagpost rin ako sa twitter and ig ng pictures naming anim, lahat sila nakatayo and they were carrying me like a princess at nilagay ko sa caption ay "Happiest day, 18th" at yung yt link nung video namin.

Nakatulog ako at nagising dahil sa sunod sunod na pagpop ng notif ko, I was shocked 22k comments, 42.8k retweets and 64.1k likes. Nadagdagan rin ang subscriber ko sa yt at followers namin sa ig at twitter.

Sinama ako ni manang mamalenke sa pinaka malapit na mall, at alas kwatro na ng pero nasa pila parin si manang, at pumunta sa shop ng instruments at pumasok para bumili ng gitara.

Ng mapunta ako sa sulok sa may bandang gilid, glass lang ang nakaharang kaya kita ang nangyayari sa labas. I saw a three beggar being beaten by a man using an umbrella and the woman beside him was shouting at them. I immediately bought the guitar I was holding,

I didn't know I immediately ran out to go where the three children were, nahirapan pa akong hanapin ang daan, I went to where the three kids were, when I got close to them, they were crying while picking up the coins that fell. I took my handkerchief and wiped away their tears.

"Are you okay?" tanong ko dun sa batang babae pero tiningnan niya lang ako, tiningnan ko yung isang batang lalake dahil ngumiti siya saakin. Tinanong ko ang pangalan nila Limo, Leo at Lyka.
