To What Cost

Foundation Day Pt.1

W: Wag niyo itry yung iron sa newspaper at paint dahil hindi ako sigurado kung gagana siya or masusunog yung papel or didikit sa iron... Hindi ako sigurado.. pero kung trip niyo try niyo hehe

"Ang aga mo naman." Bumaba si Kuya Shi while yawning and scratching his eyes. 5am palang and I was already preparing myself for school. Charlie asked us to be early to polish the dance for the performance later.

Yeah. Kumagat ako on that dancing performance para sa Foundation Day. It wasn't a competition so hindi ko kailangan galingan... That was what Charlie said para mapilit ako. Well.. I didn't really need convincing dahil itsura palang niya during their practice was convincing enough para tulungan siya... I ended up helping her choreograph and teach the whole thing... hindi ko nga lang alam bakit at paano ako nakasama sa mga dancers but it's too late to back out now. 

"I have responsibilities." I shrugged as I comb my hair. I was watching him through the mirror as he make himself some coffee. "Damihan mo pa kape mo tas 3 spoonful ng asukal." He nodded and continued to do so. 

"Commute ka lang?" I nodded in response. His back was facing me so I don't know kung nakita niya pero muka naman. "Nagbreakfast ka na?"

"Daan nalang akong Mcdo." I started gathering my things to make sure na wala akong naiwan. 

Karamihan kasi sa materials na gagamitin namin ay dala ko and some are to be bought sa Art Supply malapit sa school. They were sure na meron don so I volunteered to buy it since ako ang pinakamaaga pumasok... I just didn't expect I would be extra early today.

"Kunin mo wallet ko, kuha ka limang daan." I raised a brow as I turned to him. "Bilisan mo bago mag bago isip ko."

"Yiee bait mo naman. Sarap tulog?" I teased as I walk near his bag. "Ahh kaya pala, kasasahod lang." I took 500 as I was told at siniksik ulit yung wallet sa bag niya. 

"Mag Grab ka. Hindi ka marunong mag commute pag rush hour."

"Mag Grab nalang ako pag wala na talaga akong masakyan." He nodded before gesturing me to leave. I pouted before getting my bags.

"Itekimas!" I waved as I leave. 

And hell, kuya was right when he said na mahirap magcommute. Well, alam ko naman 'yon but it was extra hard pala sa umaga. I ended up getting a grab dahil wala talagang jeep na dadaan sa school ko.. and if there was, it was already full.. well, I have no choice.

6am na nang makarating ako sa school. It took me 30 minutes para maghintay ng Jeep at Grab and another 30 minutes para makaabot sa school. I had to stop by Claire's pa para bumili ng extra masking and other materials para mamaya. 

"I'm sorry I'm a bit late." Krizza, Jenae, Charlie, Vee, and the three boys na sasayaw were all siting on the floor.. May dalawang lalaki pang kulang and me.

The aircon was strong af dahil maaga pa. Onti lang din yung tao sa room dahil sobrang aga naman talaga.
