Woke up to the sound of my alarm and was greeted by the bright shine of the sun.

A brand new day, but there is no good in the morning.

Hindi ko napansin na nakatulog pala ako. Nakatulala lang ako kagabi habang nakahiga sa kama ko.

Yung inumin naman na binigay ni stranger, itinabi ko sa ref. Dalhin ko na lang mamaya sa school.

Walang tao sa bahay kundi ako. Hindi ko alam kung ano na nangyari kay kuya. I just hope he's okay. I'm still not on the right state to visit him right now. Hindi ko alam mararamdaman ko kapag nakita syang ganon.

For now, I want to be alone. I don't want to talk to anyone. Pero no choice, I have to attend school or else masisira perfect attendance ko. Baka kung ano pa masabi ni Mom.

If only I could take a rest, on a peaceful place. Without worrying about anything. Everything is draining me out but I'm trying my best to be positive. I already told myself that I'm strong and I can get through this.

Making a change is indeed tough. There's so much things you have to go through before you could achieve what you're aiming for.

Enough of that.

Bumaba na ko sa kusina at inisip kung ano gagawin ko. Kakain pa ba ako?

I heated our leftover food yesterday and fried some rice. I also brewed some coffee.

It's 6 in the morning and I have enough time to prepare for school. Nagawa ko naman na assignments ko and I already studied advance for our lessons today so I have nothing to worry about.

While I was eating, I received a chat.

Jesse: Gising ka na?

Oh it's Jesse.

Nika: Yup, gising na ko

Jesse: Good then. Gusto mo sabay tayo pumasok?

Nika: Ocakes, pwede naman

Jesse: HAHA YES! Ge daanan kita jan mamaya

I'm not in the mood to socialize with anyone but if it's Jesse then it's okay I guess. Why did it rhyme..

I washed the dishes right after I finished eating. Went upstairs and took a bath.

It's so quiet yet so peaceful. Not used to this kind of atmosphere but I like it. How nice it is to live alone.

After I took a bath. I went to check myself in the mirror. There I saw my face. I look so tired...

Oh well. Natapos na ko magbihis and bumaba na ko.

Pagkabukas ko ng pinto ay si Jesse ang bumungad.

"Oh? Bakit di ka tumawag sakin? Tagal mo na ata naghihintay jan" I said.

"Kadadating ko lang din naman, tara na" Inakbayan nya ko at naglakad na kami papuntang school.

Jesse kept looking at me as if something's wrong. Kala nya naman di ko napapansin pagtingin nya.

"Okay ka lang ba?"

"Oo naman"

"Sure ka? Bat parang maga mata mo?"

"Uh.. wala yan, don't worry okay nga lang ako"

"Talaga?"

"Oo nga" I sighed.

Inalis ni Jesse ang braso nya sa balikat ko at tumahimik.

This is so awkward.
