longing. (an embodiment of physical touch)

Waking up to the fresh scent of my air freshener, I know that this day would be great. Kaso naalala ko, it's a Thurdsay. Ang schedule ko kasi is Th, F, S, tapos tuwing Monday naman ang P.E. Ah, life is the good in our hearts.

Well actually, nasa school na ako. Kanina hinatid ko si Sai-Sai sa building nila sa high school. Then syempre maaga-aga pa ako noon, edi tumambay muna ako sa may field.

Ang daming ganap sa field that morning. May mga nagp-practice for some events, may mga nagt-training for their varsities, and may mga nag-group study kasama ng kanilang mga friends. Ako, tamang basa lang rin ng binigay na readings last Monday. I printed them out noong bago ako magsimulang gumawa ng essay. Heto na nga, puro siya highlight. Ang sakit sa ulo grabe! Nakiki-belong kuno sa pride month dahil sa sobrang kulay.

Currently, binabasa ko pa rin 'yung readings pero with friends na. Susunod na kasi 'yung adviser namin na nagbigay ng readings. Their subject is Philippine Government, na a lot of us are eager to study. Marami kasi sa amin ang balak mag-Law, kaya don't be surprised if they could speak out their opinions on politics very well.

Ay kung tatanungin niyo naman ako, I would like to pursue Psychology. It's great to study human behavior because from there, you know how to approach them that will not cause any shock to them. I mean, 'yung hindi sila mabibigla kumg bakit ganoon ko sola iapproach.

Katulad noong nakasalamuha ko na medyo down at a convenience store.

There was this person who was looking down on their notes, pointing their fingers on every word they're putting into mind. Kaso, I felt that they weren't gleamy like inspired or something. So I approached this person, I sat beside them and they suddenly looked at me with a confused look. I initially asked consent to say something, which they agreed. I asked what's wrong and the person said, "Nothing, siguro dahil sa deadlines lang ito." I gave them such motivational words that they suddenly stopped reading and faced me with tears rolling down their cheekbones. They whispered what's the matter and that was because of their family. They're experiencing family pressure to study hard and try not to get any grade below 90. Of couse I was worried because they don't deserved such pressure. So I gave them comfort by hugging them and said, "It will be through. Just focus on yourself, not to any pressure that's been given upon you."

That's why I try my best to get that diploma that indicates my degree on Psychology. Nang dahil sa taong iyon, I became extra careful on handling people around me.

"Beh, nandyan na si ma'am. Tago mo na reviewer mo baka ma-confiscate pa." Na-divert bigla atensyon ko kay ma'am.

Oh Lord, patnubayan mo kami.

"Good morning, my dear advisees. As you can see, there is a lady standing beside me." Said Ma'am Hafter, habang nagtinginan kaming lahat. Daming mga bubuyog ano, Jollibee?

"Ah ma'am, can you introduce her to us please?" Hunter said politely.

"Sure, Mr. President. Block Six, I would like for all to meet the block's shifter, Erah McTorph. She is originally from Block One and she decided to shift here because she thought your block is way more fun." The lady waved and grinned like a beauty queen. Damn, she got that charm, huh?

After saying what is she to our block, many eyebrows were raised.

"Bakit naman lahat kayo nakatitig sa akin? Flirty, huh. Anyways my name will always be heard in every corner of this room. I'm Erah McTorph, 19, former Block One's resident achiever. Mucho gusto, blockmates." After she said her introduction to us, she sat at the back for a while.

Class is on-going, while there's someone who keeps on tapping me from the back. I turned my head to Tyker, an introvert in our block, who does the tapping. He handed me a pink scented paper and got myself confused. I opened the paper and there's a cursive note.
