Mahirap pero kinaya ko. Hindi na traffic. Makakausad na ako ulit. Makakausad na ako.
It's been weeks since I last saw Laure. And somehow.... ang bigat sa pakiramdam. We all have that one specific person who can ease everything. Just by their presence somehow makes us feel safe and secured.
Yes, She's my comfort. That little kid.
I've starring at the white blank screen on my laptop for 3hours already. Eto na naman ako sa walang tigil na writers block.
I was about to write something, when suddenly nag pop ang notification ng email ko. Someone just emailed me? I traveled my mouse and then clicked 'open'

Hello good afternoon Ms. Hernandez. I just want to remind you that today is the last day for you to attend the practice. If you're not coming, please tell us so we can adjust everything. Thankyousomuch, and Congratulations!!
Last practice na pala? So moving up na tomorrow? Wait....anong araw na ba?
I opened my phone calendar.
August 7 2021, Napabuntong hininga ako nang maalala ang nangyari 10years ago. It was the worst day of my life way back then.

Good afternoon sir, thank you so much. But I won't be attending this year's moving up due to some personal reasons. Have a good day!!
and send.
I focused my attention sa screen ng laptop. Bwesit, ilang weeks na akong hindi makapagsulat. I wish she's here, my younger self. But then realization hits me.
What the fucking mini duckers???
It's August 7 2021?
I forcely closed my laptop at napabalikwas sa kama. I grabbed my towel and run straight towards the restroom. I still have 3hrs to get ready, to travel. And hopefully I won't miss it.
After taking a shower, kinuha ko sa damitan ko ang pinaka mabilis na isuot na damit. And I found a white crisscross dress. Knee legnth and paired it with my cream brown sandals.
Kinuha ko ang sling bag ko at tumakbo na palabas ng condo. Alam ko pa naman ang pauwi sa probinsya...sana tanda ko pa.
Nong inihatid ko si Laure, nag bus kami at jeep. 2hrs sa bus and 25minutes sa jeep. Abot ba?? Ohh fuck. I won't let her experience what I experienced 10years ago. Ain't no way, I'll do everything just to protect my younger self. Just to protect her.
Sumakay na ako sa bus at saktong papaalis na ito. Thank you Lord.
Kaliligo ko pero sobrang haggard ko na. Good thing hindi ko inaalis ang make ups ko sa sling bag ko. I'll do my make up here.
Sobrang smooth ng bus na nasakyan ko, iilang beses lang ito nag stop para magsakay at mag baba ng pasahero. Nakatingin lang ako sa bintana buong byahe at nag palipas ng oras.
