_____________________________________________________________

In life, it takes lots of reasons and explanations until you finally understand why and how the things are. First, you question the people, then you question your existence,  then again, you question everything.

Akala mo naman, yung ikaw lagi yung tama. O 'di kaya, ikaw yung totoo. But sometimes, what we thought is right, is what actually sometimes proves wrong. 

And that's what I thought. Akala ko ako yung kawawa. Akala ko ako yung tama. And just what most people say: Akala lang pala.

"Steph! Practice na tayo ulit. Malapit na yung competition oh!"

I rolled my eyes as I gave my bandmate a smile before picking up my drumsticks and went to them.

"Seriously Mikaela? Alam ko naman. Kinuha ko lang itong drumsticks ko. Ano? Let's play?"

Mikaela is our main vocalist, just like me who wants to be a famous drummer, she wants to be a singer as well. And that's how we clicked. When we were in sixth grade, pangarap na namin tumutog. Also because we saw a movie that contains a story of a famous band. Na-inspire kaming dalawa and so, the moment we reached high school, We studied music when we had time and doon namin nakilala sina, Zeya (pianist), Sidney (guitarist and singer), and Cassy (another guitarist).

I tapped my stick three times as a cue for us to start. Sid started playing her electric guitar while we all waited for our turn to blend in. Nagsimula na rin kumanta si Mika.

"'Di ko maintindihan ang nilalaman ng puso...
Tuwing magkahawak ang ating kamay...
Pinapanalangin lagi tayong magkasama...
Hinihiling bawat oras kapiling ka...." I smiled as I heard Mika's voice. Napakaganda.

I started drumming dahil nasa chorus na, sunod 'non ay sumabay na sina Zeya at Cassy saamin.

"Sa lahat ng aking ginagawa... Ikaw lamang ang nasa isip ko, sinta..... Sana'y 'di na tayo magkahiwalay
Kahit kailan pa man... "

Napangiti ako at walang kahirap hirap na nag drum at inihagis pa sa ere ang stick ko na agad ko ring nasalo.

"Ikaw lamang ang aking minamahal...Ikaw lamang ang tangi kong inaasam.... Makapiling ka
habang-buhay, ..ikaw lamang, sinta... Wala na 'kong hihingin pa, wala na..."

We stayed at Mika's garage up until we decided to finish our practice at umuwi na. After playing and practicing three songs that we're going to play for the upcoming competition, umuwi na ako sa bahay at hindi na binuksan ang ilaw dahil alam kong tulog na ang naroon sa bahay.

Or maybe akala ko lang....

"Why are you late?"

Tamad ko siyang nilingon na nakaupo sa favorite spot niya sa sala atsaka pinanood siyang binuksan ang lampshade sa gilid niya. I saw his serious yet calm face as he looked directly into my eye kaya umirap ako saka pinagkrus ang braso ko.
