Everything Went Last

Phase 9

Phase 9

Days went by.

Hindi ko alam kung bakit sobrang dali ng oras. Ang pag- ikot ng orasan. Na hindi na natin namamalayan dumaraan na ang araw. Pakiramdam ko tuloy sobrang daming nangyari ngayong linggong ito dahil sa bilis nang takbo ng oras.

It's already Friday, fun day. I don't know why my energy was going high every friday, but the day before Friday felt like forever. Weekends come in a blink. While weekdays felt like slow, and it felt like it was long run pursuing it.

I was mystified by how the clock turned. It goes so fast that sometimes we don't even feel it was already time.

Ang oras ay hindi mabagal pero ang pakiramdam natin ay sobrang bagal. Hindi natin alam kung dahil ba sa hindi tayo nasisiyahan, pakiramdam natin ay sobrang bagal nang pag-ikot ng orasan. Pero pag ika'y naeenganyo sa isang bagay ay tila sobrang bilis. Ang pakiramdam ko tuloy ay mabilis lang ang araw na ito.

It was like a snap of an eye. Time was really moving, and we don't even feel how it moves. It goes round the circle... I know that we have to move just like time, but to think, I had to look back on how far time moved me. And it was far...

Sobrang layo na nang narating ko dahil sa paglipas ng oras.

I was fixing my things in my room. To settle it, organizing my things feels like an achievement after a cruel weekdays. Even after a tiring week, at least I have a place where it was clean. By far, I feel so rested seeing it all clean.

I look at the clock it's already 7. After fixing my things, I get up and go on the kitchen holding my phone. When it suddenly buzzed.

I looked who texted me...

Aaron:
Babe, tomorrow remember it. Jam said by Leon.

Me:
I know, babe...

Aaron:
Aight, babe! Eat it's already past 7...

Me:
Okay, okay! I'll just cook for dinner.

After I send my text. He suddenly called me.

I answered it quickly.

"Hey," masayang bati ko sa kanya. I know he called me to give me some words again, sanay na ako. He hates it when I always eat late or when I don't eat at all. Lagi niyang sinabi inaalagan kita ng tama, kaya alagaan mo rin ang sarili. Napapangiti ako pag naaalala ko mga 'yun.

Hindi ko kasi tinignan ang orasan dahil nawili ako sa paglilinis ako sa aking apartment. It feels good even though I'll just eat past dinner time. It's not yet even late to eat, but I always eat around 7 or earlier because that was I used,too. He knows it. That's why he called. He's worried kasi nalipasan na ako.

"It's already late. Bakit ngayon ka pa lang magluluto?" He asked.

"I cleaned the house, and I enjoyed it a lot to even forget to look at the time." Natatawang tugon ko.

"Okay... but please, next time, don't do it, Kaye." Nag-aalalang saad niya sa akin.

"Right, nawili lang talaga ako." Natatawa kong sagot.

He's reprimanding me not to lose track of time, but I always do when I like what I'm doing.

"Anong lulutuhin mo? I hope it's not instant noddles or instant food. Alam kong ganyan ang lulutuhin mo dahil 'yon lang ang madaling lutuhin, but I do hope it's not." Lintanya niya.

Natawa ako dahil totoo naman. Kapag tinatamad na akong magluto o halughugin ang nasa kusina 'yong pinaka madali na lang ang lulutuhin ko para hindi na gahol sa oras.
