My Song Lyrics: Art of Letting Go [Episode Four: There's More to Life]

EPISODE FOUR.

And I entered right into the room. Everyone was looking at me. Looking at their faces, they seem to be delighted that I came.

XIENNE: Am I late?

TRISTAN: No. You’re perfectly just in time. See? (Looks at the wall clock.)          

XIENNE: Ah.

TRISTAN: Muntik na kami madisqualify. Buti nalang dumating ka. (Smiles brilliantly.)

STUDENT COUNCIL ADVISER: Now, since we’re all here, I’d like you to say Thank you for participating. You guys are now the official candidates of student council. The campaign     will start tomorrow onwards. The Election Day will be on Friday. Votes will be calculated by the number of likes in facebook and text votes. Any questions?

CANDIDATES: None, Ma’am

STUDENT COUNCIL ADVISER: Okay, I’ll leave this to the former SC President Kenneth.

Former SC President Kenneth: Hello.. Good afternoon to everyone. Bago ang lahat. I would like to say Blah..Blah..Blah.. Okay, Let’s begin. First sign up your party list and the members, then have your group meeting. I’m hoping that you’ll do your best.

Kasabay ko si Tristan palabas ng school.

TRISTAN: Ayos! Akala ko hindi ka papayag na tumakbong SC eh. Salamat ah? Nainspire ka ba sa sinabi ko kaya ka pumayag?

XIENNE: Alam mo bang kapag naging student council ka, bibigyan ka ng full scholarship ng school? That’s the reason kung bakit ko naisipan.

TRISTAN: Ah! Di ko alam yun ah. Anyway, diba mayaman naman kayo? Ganda nga ng bahay niyo eh.

XIENNE: Hindi porket maganda ang bahay maganda na rin yung kinatatayuan ng buhay. I mean, hindi kami mayaman.

TRISTAN: Ah, Sorry I misunderstood.

XIENNE: Wala yun.

TRISTAN: Anyway, I’m still glad you came. Geh, see yah tomorrow.

 As we walked apart from each other, as I was walking down the road, it suddenly rained. Then I realized, Tristan’s right, there’s more to life. I can’t stay like this forever. Kailangan kong maging masaya.

SKY SCRAPER – DEMI LOVATO

Skies are crying

I am watching

Catching teardrops

In my hands

Only silence as its ending

Like we never had a chance

Do you have to make me

Feel like there’s left of me?

You can take everything I have

You can break everything I am

Like I’m made of glass

Like I’m made of paper

Go on and try to fear me down

I will be rising from the ground

Like a skyscraper…

As the smoke clears

I’m awaken

And untangle you from me

Does it make you feel better?

To watch me while I bleed

All my windows still are broken

But I’m standing on my feet.

Go run, run, run

I’m gonna stay right here, watch you disappear

Go run, run, run

Yeah it’s a long way down, but I’m closer to the clouds up here.

            The day after, our campaign has started. The students were enlightened to see us and to hear our plans for school. It’s good that our campaign went well. The day turned to be fun and tiring. I’ve met new friends too. I guess his is what Tristan meant by saying there’s more to life.

            Little by little, I’ve started to feel relief in my heart. I realized... I want to be happy. I want to throw the past and forget.

            I’ll forget him. It seems impossible but I’ll try. Whenever I’m alone, I’m starting to think of him again and feel lonely. Right now, I’m standing at the top of the building. I want to open my eyes and see how wonderful life could be… Even without Andy. Once again, tears begin to falling through my face. I don’t want to think about Andy again. But I can’t stop. T.T

            It’s Thursday. During the time I was not in the classroom, Elza, Anna, Carlo, and Tristan had a talk.

ANNA: Tristan, Kamusta na?

TRISTAN: I’m fine.

ANNA: Hindi ikaw, yung plano! Did it work?

TRISTAN: So far nagwork naman. Unlike before, mas responsive na siya ngayon. :D

 ELZA: Ah, edi that’s good. Pagpatuloy lang natin. Malapit na rin namang matapos eh.

 TRISTAN: Actually, hindi umaakma yung script sa mga eksena. Masyadong OA yung pagkakasulat.

 CARLO: Hahaha! Buti nalang konti lang yung role ko. Sino ba kasing nagsulat nyan? XD

ANNA: Ako. Baket?

CARLO: Kaya pala! HAHAHA! (Hinampas ni Anna sa sobrang inis.) ARAY!

ELZA: Mabuti pa wag mo nalang sundin yung script.

TRISTAN: Yun nga ginawa ko eh! Panggulo lang eh XD (Hinampas ni Anna dahil sa inis sabay nagtawanan.)
