Kapag tinanong mo sa'kin kung sino'ng best friend ko, I would simply say 'Music'.

I sing, though I don't show it to people. Sa totoo lang, kaya ayoko kumanta sa harap ng tao, 'di sa hindi ako confident sa sarili ko, I have a great voice, inaamin ko. But, the thought of me looking red like a tomato in front of everyone, scares me.

I've been through depression, and Music has always been with me. Books too, music AND books helped me. May pinaniniwalaan akong lahat ng mga tao'y may sari-sariling kanta at kwento sa buhay nila. It's complete nonsense if they'd reply na walang kwento sa buhay nila.

They're just shy or afraid to be judged by other people.

Dumating na'ko sa campus, and arrived at the café right on time. If you're wondering, si ate Amy ang namumuno diyan. She was once an Elite in KUP, until she graduated and worked as a barista.

Nagtataka nga 'ko e, student siya dati, but she had the mind of a business woman. Pero yeah, it's Amy for pete's sake, matalino at matiyagang tao 'yan. No wonder the school allowed her to build her café inside the campus.

I settled my bike sa gilid ng parking lot, huminga ako ng malalim bago kong itanggal ang airpods ko. Dali dali ko namang inilagay ito sa lalagyanan at inilagay sa bulsa ng bag ko. I checked my phone to know what time it is. It was 7:43, opening ng café is 7:50 para makapag-ready kami for 10 minutes for the customers pag nag-8 o'clock na.

I lock my bike in place and quickly went inside, 'di ako nagdalawang isip buksan kaagad ang pintuan dahil alam ko namang dumating na si Amy bago pa'ko makapasok dito.

"Goodmorning, Ate." I smile.

"Goodmorning 'rin!" Sigaw ni Ate Amy sa likod ng dispenser ng tubig.

"'Nong ginagawa mo diyan, 'te?"

"Ah, inaayos ko yung bagong dispenser para mamaya. Self served na water dito sa café, para 'di na tayo mag-alala taking orders." She said, while fixing her glasses.

Ate Amy's a small woman, kasing height lang ng balikat ko. I'm 5'4, so mga 5'2 lang si Amy. She has short brown hair, and has glasses. 'Di siya chubby, pero 'di rin siya fit. Malaki bewang niya. Over all, she's pretty.

She stood up after squatting, and inayos niya ang pagtayo niya, nangalay siguro siya.

"Oo nga pala," ani ni Amy. "Yung water for the dispenser dadating mga 8:00 sakto, ikaw na mag-buhat papasok. Ang bigat bigat no'n for a cute girl like me."
