For some reason, the sunlight and I don't really get along pretty well. It has always been that way. Naaalimpungatan ako dahil sa maliwanag na sikat ng araw na tumama sa mga mata kong inaantok pa rin hanggang ngayon. Unfortunately, I have no other choice but to wake my ass up now.

Last night, someone called some male strippers. I can't really recall everything, ang huling naalala ko lang ay nag-karoon kami ng isang unexpected Wild Drinking Party Session instead of Mild Bachelorette party. And yeah, Eros and the rest of the kutong lupa didn't fail to caught us red-handed.

And now, here we all are. Nandito kaming lahat ngayon sa mansyon ni Dad, wala pang umuuwi sa kanila. Kahit sina Thor, West, Jared at ang iba pa ay nandito rin. Naka-tayo silang lahat sa harapan namin habang pare-parehas na seryoso ang ekspresyon nila at nakapamewang din.

"What the hell is going on?". I asked them.

Eros smirked. "You don't remember what you did?". Pabalik niya namang tanong sa'kin.

Yeah, I don't really recall everything. I'm not kidding about that part, medyo inaantok pa nga ako eh but since they are all here at mukhang mga galit sila? I have no other freaking choice but to wake my ass up kahit gusto ko pang matulog.

"Babe, nangako ka na sa'kin, diba?". North was talking to Elisa.

"The twins and I are all waiting for you last night, you said that you were coming home but you didn't". Seryosong sambit ni Thorin kaya napayuko na lang si Aurora. Oh, yeah. She's as good as dead, he's probably mad.

"Before you complain, I just want you to know that I just drank a lot last night. I didn't entertain any strippers". Pangunguna naman ni Trinity. Well, it seemed like Kuya Reidly was about to say something either. Inunahan niya lang.

"Me too". Ani ni Polaris.

"Me three". Dagdag pa ni Nikka.

Lance and Ahmed just started at each other, I never knew na mag-kaibigan din pala sila. Well, after all? The two of them are both Captains from the same Sector. Ang pinag-kaiba lang ay ang Team dahil sa Team 3 si Lance habang sa Team 1 naman si Ahmed, ang mga girlfriend nila ay ka-Team nila.

"Me four". I was surprised to hear Riane said that.

"Really? You didn't call them?". Kyler asked.

"Oh, maybe I did?". Pa-inosente niya pang sagot.

"I'm sorry, Love. But I fell asleep early so I don't really know what happened after I passed out". Sabi naman ni Cece.

"Yeah, you and Gab fell asleep right after drinking a few shots of whiskey". Natatawang sagot ni Trinity. To be exact, it's Cece Gab, Alicessa and Nikka. Ako ata ang huling naka-tulog kasama sina Riane at Trinity.

"Wala akong naalala, ano bang ginawa natin kagabi?". Nalilito namang tanong ni Lauren sa lahat. Well, I'm just like her too. Wala rin talaga akong masyadong maalala sa nang yari.
