Peace On My Chaos

Kabanata 3

Ataraxia. The state of blissful and serene calmness.

Is how I describe the scenery at this hour. The six-am sun is peaking through our balcony and blinding me softly with its rays. I gaze around and there are minimal amount of fogs spreading the vicinity of our house.

I yawned as I reach for my glass of hot chocolate drink and sip from it. Natulog ako kagabi ng hindi ayon sa planong oras ng pagtulog ko, sana.
And today, l still woke up from my scheduled time. Probably 'cause of having body clock.

I saw chim-chim sitting along an elevated log near the front yard. He looks so calm while sun-bathing and I felt the urge to take a photo of him.

I got up from my seat and went out of our house. I raised my right hand to block the sun rays seeping through my eyes. I was holding my phone while approaching my cat and about to capture an angle when my he turned to me.

"Photogenic ka chimchim? I slightly laugh after seeing his picture that still looks good even after his sudden action. Cute.

Biglang sumagi sa isipan ko ang mga picture ni Gabriel sa ig niya. To tell you honestly, he's an example of picture perfect. Mapa side view or any angle of him was, nice. So I didn't understand myself last night, why should I make it a big deal na finollow niya ako?

For all I know a man like him, with that looks and physical attributes plus the mere fact that he's a seaman graduate, is off limit.

Ginawa kong story ang picture ni chimchim, I also angled my self to take a selfie--- suddenly I fix the neckline of my string top, let's break the norm here.

I was done cleaning my room and discarging the trashes right now in the backyard. Pumasok ako sa kusina para kunin na rin ang laman ng basurahan.

I decided to wash my hands first before going back to my room dahil plano kong gumawa ng summary notes for my incoming exam sa different subjects.

"May niluto akong ulam Serene, dalhan mo sila lola mo." Si mama na kalalabas lang ng cr. Naisara ko ng bahagya ang gripo at napaisip sa plano ko sanang gawin ngayon.

 

"Pwedi po bang mamaya na lang hapon Ma?" I turned slightly at her. My plan is to visit them in the afternoon, pupuntahan ko na rin si Brielle.

"Pang lunch-time sana nila ito 'nak." That's it. I agreed to mama and made my way to my room. Kumuha ako ng papalitang damit at tuwalya tapos ay naligo na. After having a shower, tumambay muna ako sa kwarto para magpatuyo ng buhok.

I sat in front of my vanity table and apply some cream first. I also brush my brow slightly to achieve perfection. Hirap na baka biglang mapasabak sa photoshoot since Brielle's into nature background.

It's still 9:38 in the morning so I buy my time and check my phone for new messages. I blinked twice after reading Brielle's chat, saying she had to go back to sentro because tita needs her sa store nila, ate Deniz have some things to do at Kalibo.  

I didn't bother to open our gc at the same time Gerard's new messages for me. Later dudes. I got up from my chair and reach for my keys hanging in the wall. Hindi ko na kailangan mag facemask because it's not necessary dahil malapit lang naman 'yung kila lola. I just grab a black hat and went out of my room.

"Ma asan na po 'yung dadalhin ko?"

Mom told me to follow her in the kitchen. May nakahandang tupper ware sa mesa at nilalagay na niya ngayon sa eco bag.

"Paabot ng tatlong mansanas 'nak." I turned around and pick the fruits from the counter part. Nilagay ko na rin sa eco bag at uminom muna ng tubig bago lumabas ng kusina.
