Reaching The Sky

  "To be a star, you must burn" she said.

That is the quote I believe in, the motto of my life.
The words that came directly from my mother.

I am surrounded by trees, as always.
Whenever I see these trees I can't help but think about its life and time here on earth, kahit na ilang beses ko na ito nakikita. From a mere sprout to a tree that reaches the clouds, it's life started here and it will end....here.
It can't go anywhere and if it's forcefully taken out by cutting it, mamamatay to. It doesn't have anyone to defend it, if anyone does try to cut it.... it's defenseless.
Bagyo, Landslide, Lindol, and Deforestation ang mga napapagdaanan ng mga punong ito, pero until now they're still standing strong.

I wonder if I'll be like a tree aswell.
Will I grow from a mere child to a fully grown woman?
Will I have someone to defend me? Or will I also be defenseless?
Can I also stand strong after a Natural or Man made disaster? 

Natigil ako sa pagiisip nang marinig ko na ang mga ingay ng kotse. My house is far from civilization kasi that's why it took me 1 hour bago makadating sa bayan, hindi pa ito ang bayan marami lang ang mga bahay at may daan kaya kinaylangan ko pang maglakad na kaunti.

Buti nalang talaga I have a high stamina.

I grabbed my wallet from my pocket ng mapansin kong malapit nako sa mall. I came here kasi to buy some food, hindi ko kasi trip mga food sa bahay, I want something sour to drink and fries narin since it's my cheat day naman.

Since nasa may entrace lang ung comfort room I went in na rin to check myself, I have to look presentable kaya, baka mamaya makita ko na yung the love of my life ko dito, diba? I'm wearing a casual outfit since my plan is to come here, buy food then go home na. Denim skort and a black sleveless croptop lang ung suot ko today, when I saw that I still look like me, like me as in beautifull, I went out na.

After coming out of the women's comfort room I saw agad the Koomi stall kaya I ordered na buti nalang walang queue. Before I ordered I saw kuya behind the register look at me up and down pa, lumukot tuloy yung noo ko because of that, like kuya what's your problem ba.
Hindi ko nalang pinansin kasi baka matagal pa gawin yung drink at ayaw kong magtagal dito since ngayon lang ako nagka free day, I ordered the cookies and cream one. 

After 3 minutes I got my drink na, buti nalang wala masyadong tao sa mall ngayon, since its a Saturday I was expecting it to be filled with people cause there's no classes diba.

Ayaw ko munang inumin yung drink cause i want to wait for my fries, I went to potato corner na that was on the second floor so I had to take the escalator to go up. It seems like siniswerte ako ngayong araw kasi wala nanamang queue, Tera na ung binili ko cause why not diba it's my favorite pa naman chili bbq and cheese.

Where should I eat this kaya, if I eat this at home kasi I can watch a movie while eating, if here naman i'll watch the people do their own thing lang like total creep. Mas mabuti na nga lang sa bahay baka mistook  pa nila ako for a stalker no, even if i don't look like one baka ma beast mode lang ako pag may assuming na nag assume. 

I took my phone out and contacted my driver to pick me up, hindi na ko nagpahatid kanina kasi I wanted to walk, he insisted pero pumayag narin kalaunan kasi sinabi ko na magpapasundo nalang ako. 

To: Manong Amir,

Manong, you can sundo me here at the mall na po.

From: Manong Amir,

Noted po Ma'am!

 I saw ate mix the seasoning and the fries kaya lumapit na ko para makuha, lumayo kasi ako kanina cause may kasunod akong umorder, she put it inside a paper bag with little holes pa before giving it to me, I took it and said my thanks before leaving.
