"Great job, guys! Pack up and rest tomorrow." Pinagdiinan niya talaga ang salitang rest. "The next day we'll be going sa La Union, this will be hectic a month kaya walang maglalakwatsa bukas. Make sure to rest, especially Enjie and Ruwen! Baka mabalitaan ko nanaman nasa kung saan-saan kayo!" It's their manager who's talking.

The surrounding is very chaotic with staffs doing their jobs, make-up artist packing their things, videographer and photographer doing their things and FIERCE changing their clothes to normal ones.

Joie, their manager is informing them of the things they need to do and finished for the whole week. Ako na nakikinig ay napapagod na, It's just that their schedule is very tiring. I've been with them since day one of The LA tour. They are having a concert worldwide, starting here in our country, Philippines. It's on its first month, two weeks more and they're moving internationally.

Nakakapagod pero worth it naman lahat.

"Boss, ako na naman nakita mo." Madramang tugon ni Enjie.

"Oo, syempre ikaw na naman! Ikaw lang naman pinakamakulit dito, Enjie!" Hinilot pa ni Joie ang sintido niya kaya natawa kami.

"Grabe, the attack."

"Shut up, please. Everybody, behave! Jusko saya ko pa naman nung sinabing kayo i mamanage ko, my goodness! Stress pala na mahaba ang dadalhin niyo sa'kin." Inayos ni Joie ang polo niya. "Uuwi na 'ko, daan kayo sa likod you know the drill. Miss ko na jowa ko mga hampaslupa kayo!"

"Gora mamsh! Lumandi ka na para naman lumamig 'yang ulo mo. Kulang ka sa dilig 'no?"

"Ruwen, kokotongan talaga kita."

Nagtawanan kaming lahat habang tinitignan si Joie na kausapin sila. Joie, he's very jolly and kind, mukha lang mataray sa pananalita but he's also very funny guy. He's 27 years old, living with his boyfriend, Aaron. We met him few times already and all I can say that their love is genuine. Love has no gender, indeed. Love freely.

"Lilacaine," Tawag niya sa'kin, I rolled my eyes at him.

"Yes, yes alam ko na po. Bantayan mo sila, make sure no one makes pasaway." Panggagaya ko sa laging linyahan niya. "Guardian, sis?" Asar ko.

"Bakla ka! Hindi naman ako 'make sure no one makes pasaway.' Conyo-conyo!"

Tinawanan ko lang ito ay inirapan. "Whatevs, Joie. Go! Uwi!"

"Hoy! Ikaw din magpahinga ka, look at you! You're so damn pale, mukha kang labanos." Pagpuna niya.

Pagkalabas ni Joie ay nagpaalam lang kami sandali sa mga staff at dumaan na sa likod kagaya ng nakagawian. There are still people waiting outside the venue, binaba nila ang bintana ng van para kumaway sa mga fans nila.

Thankfully, Braven are behaves, they are not that type of fans who will rush towards the van and run while the vehicles is running as well. They aren't that obsessed because FIERCE, themselves taught Braven how to behave. Their fan-artist relationship is friendly, they are educating each other. And I think, we should normalize that in this industry.

Kulang dalawang oras bago kami makauwi, galing kaming Cavite. Due to exhaustion, dumiretso nalang kami sa kanya-kanyang kwarto at iniwan ang mga gamit sa sala.

And for the past months, there are a few changes. Flyn and Calvin are now sharing room with Kuya Lawrence room while Indigo and Enjie on Kuya Lijah's. Still, I didn't let anyone occupy the masters bedroom. Ruwen and Ethan stay on the third floor.

It was three am in the morning when I woke up with my heart suddenly pumping too much. Kumuha nalang ako ng gamot at ininom iyon bago bumalik sa pagtulog.
