Adjustments

"Here's the thing..." my room mate Dinara started. "To celebrate this milestone of surviving another month of zero sleep we should have an initiation."

"Like a sorority thing?" Natawa ako dahil sa plano niya. Sa pagod siguro ay kung ano ano nalang nagagawa naming kalokohan pag may free time just to destress.

Dinara is my russian friend. Luckily we are scheduled in the same flights sometimes and that also mean that we get to enjoy our layovers in another country. Personally i enjoyed staying in Japan because somehow the warmth reminds me of home.

Whenever i am in European countries i felt isolated especially during winter there's this thing called Seasonal affective disorder, a sadness that might lead to depression that is motivated by a certain seasons of the year.
The shorter days and less daylight trigger a chemical change in your brain leading to having symptoms of depression. And i guarantee you its fucking real.

Plus the added stress, tiredness and lack of sleep. I felt like a robot every time i have to work for hours airborne. Buti na lang talaga may mga poging piloto na nagpapagising sa malandi naming mga mata.

Naging katuwaan nalang talaga namin ang paghahunt ng mga gwapong katrabaho kapag may duty. I am telling you they dont disappoint.

"I dare you to hook up with someone." Dinara beamed like a crazy girl that she is.

"Tonight?"

"What's the point of going out tonight if we're just going back to our hotel room with zero man?"

"I dont think i have the energy for that tonight—"

"Come on! It's common here you know. Some new hires got their own dirty secrets. We all know the drill. Everyone knows." itong babaeng to ang nagpaparami ng mga kasalanan ko sa buhay.

"Girl, i think you forgot that i never plan to get killed in some bed room or got pregnant by some random guy."

"The usual. We'll protect each other. You have to get my approval and i have to get your approval just to make sure that the man i chose is safe and well... delizioso."

I dropped my head back on my pillow. Nasa paanan pa rin si Dinara at excited sa plano niya para mamaya.

"We're in vegas so we gotta party hard and make em hard—"

"Urghhhhh! Stop it, Dinara! Your polluted mouth is not helping at all."

"Well you chose to be polluted that means you polluted yourself, sucia mind. Dont worry i will continuosly wish that you will get to meet the perfect man not feo." Humiga siya at tumabi sa akin.

"When are you going to have a boyfriend, milyaya? Just know there is no secrets kept hidden in the aircraft. And i've heard so much about you and you know." She smirked.

"Inshallah, Dinara." I groaned sleepily. Gusto ko lang naman matulog pero ang isang to parang nakainom ng gallon ng kape. "Inshallah." I pulled the blanket closer on my chin and slept like a baby.

Kahit na ganito yang babaeng yan i am still beyond grateful kasi the reality here is that you're alone most of the time. Hindi mo maeenjoy ang mga napupuntahan mong mga bansa kasi mag isa ka naman. Mag isa kang kakain sa mga restaurant at mag isa kang gagala. Anong point na nasa harap mo na yung eiffel tower kung wala namang kasama? City of love pero mag isa ka.

Some of our colleagues are going to be there later. Nasa iisang hotel lang naman kami pero may kaniya kaniya rin naman silang mga lakad. But tonight is different kasi sasama sila at yung iba naman ay susunod nalang sa club.
