" Many boys will bring you flowers. But someday you'll meet a boy who will learn your favorite flower, your favorite song, your favorite sweet. And even if he's too poor to give you any of them, it won't matter because he will have taken the time to know you as no one else does. Only that boy owns your heart"
I sigh after I read the lines, if only marrying or asking out your favorite fictional character could be done by just a snap of a finger we would've ran away from this messed up world, buy a farm in the country, raise barn animals, cook for each other and dance in the kitchen with the outside noises as our music, living a peaceful life, away from the chaos. Pero ang labo para mangyari iyon, I looked down at the page I'm reading and let out a sigh "I don't think it will happen or even have the time to think about flowers, boys and just having a love life, I doubt it will happen anyway" isinara ko ang libro at inilagay sa ibabaw ng bag ko at tumingin sa malayo, I looked up and saw a blanket of orange vastly covers the blue skies, the sound of laughter from behind and in front of me, lovers walking around laughing and looking so in love while holding hands as they pass me by getting a whiff of scent of a lifetime, my feet planted on the finely trimmed grass as I rubbed it back and forth feeling the grains under my feet Greenfield Park is majestic at dusk.
"ayan ka na naman Grasya patungo ka na naman sa munti mundo ng imahinasyon mo na hindi talaga mangyayari, oh mag ice cream ka muna para makabalik ka sa real world and before you ask yes it's rocky road your favorite" inabot nya sa akin ang ice cream and I smiled at her as a thank you after I took it from her.
"Thank you Elise, napa isip lang"
"At sino na naman yang iniisip mo? Fictional character na naman? Susko ka Grace ewan ko nalang sa'yo. Kaya walang lalaki lumalapit sayo kasi taas ng standard mo, tell you not every guy from the books you read exist in this world kaya nga nasa libro sila dahil pigment of imagination lang yan sa author diba?"
I shrugged and just laugh at her comment, oo I know they're fictional pero what if meron talaga na mas mahigit pa sa isang karakter sa mga libro na binabasa ko sa totoong buhay? malay natin diba?
Wala naman siguro masamang mangarap
LOL. hanggang sa pantasya nalang natin makamit ang kasiyahan...
"What if meron sa totoong buhay? And ano na naman about sa standards? Eh hindi naman mataas standards ko ah" tina-asan ko sya ng kilay, bigla na lang sya humalagpak ng tawa "ewan ko sa'yo Grace, pero seryoso ano ang iniisip mo? I'm all hearts and ears bespren, what's messing your mind?"
I scoffed and smiled, this is what I love about Elise she feels and walks with me through all of the mad things that has happened to me, she not only understands but she puts herself in my zone to know and comprehend what she should say and do to assess the situation, she never misses to pull me out of the pit, where I find myself every after a storm. She's God's blessing to me, a true friend she is.
"Well, napaisip ako, I wanna get away from here muna. I have had enough of spending my days here in the city and it's suffocating me, total we have a month until the release of our board exam results. Eh basta nakakasawa na dito gusto ko mag hibernate"
"Sa Ilocos Norte tayo, diba patay na patay ka makita ang windmills dun? Sa Bangui?"
Ah, yes Ilocos Norte a dream place of mine to escape, a place where an old soul as I am to feel and embrace that connection of their topographic places, I just have this feeling that something pulls me to go there not only did I hear and watch online about the beautiful site but the sound of it seems so alluring. I Just have to go there and experience it for myself. What my soul longs for.
"Punta tayo dun para naman makapag bakasyon tayo akalain mo na 6 months tayo nag re-review, inaumagahan pa tayo kakabasa ng mga notes at reading materials pero 4 lang pala lumabas sa exam putik talaga sana di na ako nagpakahirap mag review wala naman lahat eh"
Natatawa nalang kami sa mga nakaraan during reviews, breakdowns, late night vc online reviews, mga non-stop drills pero kunti lang lumabas sa exam pero syempre kinaya namin dahil para naman ito sa pangarap namin na maging effective and nurturing 21'st century set of teachers, we're not doing or vying to pass because we want to prove something but to be an example for our future students, their needs before ours.
Lord, your will be done not ours.
"Sige sa Ilocos tayo mag book ka na ng flight tonight, mag impake na tayo pag uwi natin then leave the house to Manang Lany para may bantay naman"
"Okay, G Na?" she threw the remains of her cone in the trash and wiped her mouth with a tissue
I nod and looked at her "yes G na"
We stood up from the bench and walked home to prepare everything for our trip, this may be a sudden decision but God I hope this will not go against the current
Ilocos Norte here We come....
