I Promise You to the Stars

Chapter 1: The Passionate Volunteer

Various autos and other vehicles making loud noises. The sound of an ambulance and a police patrol is unnerving.

Dahil Dito ay nagising si Penny at napatingin sa kanyang paligid, na tila naninibago sa lugar.

Every corner of the road has a street light. The skylines are complicated, and there are numerous tall buildings. There were also a lot of individuals walking along the street .   
 
Penny look out the window and take in the sights. Looking out the window is also a fun way to spend the time. She'd like to view a lot of stuff outside the window.

Na tila parang batang nakalabas ng ng bahay, ang ligalig niya at  lalong nagulat sa mga pagbabago sa siyudad dahil sa tagal niyang di nakauwe ay mula sa Cordillera.

I'm Penny Prim, and I'm a volunteer teacher in one of Cordillera Province's ethnic groups. I am 23 years old.

I'm completely bored. As a result, I make an effort to talk with my seatmate.

Hi! I'm Penny, and I'd like to ask you to fasten your seatbelt.

Thank you so much. Kenny is my name.

Binigyan nya ako ng malaking ngiti sa kanyang labi, at nagpakilala.

Naging mas mahaba pa ang naging usapan Namin kaysa sa aking inaasahan. Na tila parang kilalang kilala na Namin ang isat isa.

We can exchange a lot of ideas and opinions with each other this way, and the best part is that it will make your lengthy journey more bearable. We might also learn a lot of various things, and if you're both travelling somewhere for the first time, talking to a fellow traveler might help you figure out where you're going. Because we are both volunteer teachers, I can easily connect with her.

Biglang napangiti si Penny ng sumagi sa kanyang isipan.

This is the most anticipated time in my life. After three months of not seeing and touching each other, I'm returning to our house, where my Aunt Jenny is waiting for me. After my father and mother perished in a car accident three years ago, I now live with my Aunt Jenny.".

Habang  kinakausap ni Penny ang kanyang sariili.

Now I'm on a bus, and in order to escape boredom, I've brought my phone and earphones.

Music is my all-time favorite way to pass the time. Not only on long journeys, but also whenever I need to clear my head, I listen to my favorite tunes.
While I was reading my diary notes. The things I did while teaching in the Cordillera Province mesmerize me; I adore the people there; they are so generous and kind. I'm still thinking about the kids I worked with and the things I do on weekends. With the help of my kids, I enjoy planting fruits and vegetables in my garden. As a volunteer instructor there, I learnt a lot of useful information. But there's a man who falls in love right away when I see him, so saying goodbye to them is the hardest thing to do.

Dahil sa lungkot at pangungulila mula sa  mga tao sa  Cordillera Province ay biglang pumatak ang kanyang mga luha na hindi nya namalayan.

I didn't realize my tears suddenly fell like I remember those happy moments I spent in Cordillera.

I have nothing to do, so I decided to think about creativity and write some conversations while I'm at home, my future plans are also a great idea and I want to spend my time with my aunt or just make a list of things I need to finish the next day. I'm trying to make the drawings of things you see on your journey or designing something.

Dahil sa sobrang pagod na biyahe ay tila di na nagawa ni Penny ang kanyang mga nais.

Now, I'm checking my bags and other things because the bus is about to stop and I want to leave this bus as soon as possible.
"Dear passengers, be ready and fix all the things you have there because the bus is about to stop in five minutes.

(5) Minute thereafter:

All passengers leave the bus except me because I believe in saying, "Keep the best for the last."

Now I'm on my way to our house I heard my phone ringing and I'm immediately getting it out of my bag.

My aunt's calling. I think she's so excited to see me.

Hey, Penny. Where are you? Aunt Jenny said...

Yes, Aunt Jenny, I'm on my way. I'm on my last trip.

"Penny, you have to take car of yourself. Be careful" My auntJenny said.

"Of course, Tita, I  can't wait to see you again."

The call's over.

I have a great smile on my face, and I can't explain my feelings right now. I'm excited to see my aunt.

I decide to have a short circuit to see the place and look for the car.

And unexpected things have happened.
