"Damn it!!" I groaned when I heard my phone ringing.

Sino ba tong istorbo na to sa pag tulog ko. Ang aga aga nambubulabog. Inis kong kinuha agad ang phone ko sa night stand.

"What do you want?!" Irita akong bumangon at umupo sa higaan.

"Ang aga-aga napaka grumpy mo Rhiane" a hint of displeasure in her voice.

Aba siya pa ang may ganang mainis. If I could only get my hand through my phone, siguro nasakal ko na ang leeg niya.

"Ano nga Maybs? Eh ang aga aga mo kasing tumatawag natutulog pa yung tao."

Who wouldn't be annoyed if someone disturbed your peaceful sleep?

"Wow naman Heneral, anong oras na! Are you planning to skip the first day?" Tanong nito.

I looked at the clock and noticed that it's already 8 am, I forgot that it was the first day of school today. I honestly had no intention of attending class today, but I had to.

I just don't want to hear another sermon from my uncle. I know na magagalit na naman siya sa'kin kapag sinuway ko siya.

He's always acting like a dad to me. Medyo nakakairita pero sanay naman na ako.

"Ano nand'yan ka pa ba?" I forgot that I was talking to someone. Its Maybs, one of my friends. My favorite, kahit na minsan nakaka irita ang pagiging nanay niya sa akin. Palagi niya kasi pinapa alala sa akin yung mga bagay na nakalimutan ko at palagi akong tinatalakan na parang nanay kapag may ginagawa akong kalokohan.

"Yes, I'm going" I said before ending the call. Hindi ko na siya hinintay sumagot at alam ko na magagalit na naman siya sa'kin.

Nag stretch muna ako ng katawan bago tumayo but before I could get my foot off the floor, I felt a tremendous kick from my head.

Oh shit!

Parang matatanggal yung ulo ko sa sakit.

Gusto kong mag sisi na sumama pa akong nag inom sa kanila kagabi. I was invited by my friends to club last night at dahil lasinggera rin ako, syempre sumama si gaga.

To be honest I'm really planning to stop drinking for a while 'cause I want to finish this school year without any problem. Nangako kasi ako kay uncle na titigilan ko na ang mga ginagawa ko lately at susubukan ayusin ulit ang sarili ko.

Napahingang malalim na naman bago umiling.

Here we go again.

Its hard to move forward when you get used to things you never thought would end. You just have to remind yourself that nothing in this world is permanent.

Five years ago, I lost the people who supported me in everything. My mom died in a car accident with my grandparents on my dad's side before I turn eighteen. I couldn't accept what happened because it was so sudden. Para akong tinakasan ng bait dahil sa nangyari.

It took me a year to recovered from the anxiety and depression, caused by their death.There was no one beside me that time aside from my uncle.

Hating the fact that my dad got married right away even though mom passed away less than a year ago.

He even sent my brothers abroad where mom's family was staying. What kind of father is he? He thought of nothing but himself and the money.

Luckily for me, I inherited all the property and business left by my grandparents. Everything is under my name, that's why dad can't accept it. I know he only keep me because of what I received from my grandparents.
