Game of Your Mind

02

Is my mind and eyesight playing tricks on me?

"Shems girl, I'm pretty sure it's not what it looked like kanina when i saw it." I defended to save myself from the mess my coworker told to our boss.

That's definitely what I've read earlier. In fact, I've proofread it twice just to secure its good enough.

"Pabida talaga yung isa dyan eh" Luke argued.

I work as a part-time freelance writer after school just to gain extra cash.  My job is to write content for a client and also post the content to a blog or other publication channel or help evaluate my client's audience.

"Hayaan mo nalang Luke. May lapses din naman ako."

"I won't allow them to treat you like that Zie." he sounded worried and a bit caring. Pafall rin tung isang to.

"Sabay na tayo pauwi" he offered.

"Ahm, may pupuntahan pa kase ako after neto." I found an excuse to decline his offer.

He's face remained stoic. He didn't respond after what I said.

I try not to get close to him as possible. It's just that I'm ignoring guys muna for my own sake. I have some attachment issues.

A friend of mine introduced me to their company and recommended that I apply as a part time at Buzzing Star Company.

While waiting at the Bus terminal, I wrote something on a notepad.

I titled it 'The Telepathic Theory'

Her thoughts are almost prayers. She loves to pray a lot through her thoughts. She also wonders if aside from God, is there many or only one person out there who can hear all of her thoughts and consider it also her or his. Sort of a telepathic connection.

One time she decided to experiment about it. She speaks through her mind.  "Come near the hardware store."
She is across from the said location. She waited for someone to go there. Waiting for half an hour yet there's still none.

'Maybe it's not gonna work like that.' the girl said.

'Maybe it's not really happening. There's no such thing as a telepathic connection.' she nodded her head as if agreeing to someone.

She clicked the terminate button and saved it as a draft.

Here comes the bus.

Oppssie doppsieee my phone rang. Mama's calling.

"Hello ma?"

"Where are you na Zie? Nakasakay kana ba pauwi?"

"Yes ma, I'm on my way. Kakaalis ko lang, Ngayon pa kase nakausad ang bus dahil nag wait pa na magdagdagan ng mga passengers."

"Okay sgehh mag ingat ka sa byahe ha, love you."

"Bye, love you"

Kala ko wala ng pake si Mader. Madalas lang kase siya tumatawag kung naka uwi naba ako. Akala ko nga wala na siyang pake sakin. Siguro kampante na siya na kaya ko na e handle yung sarili ko.

After my part time job, a friend of mine who worked at a Jolly cafe wanted me to drop off there muna. Her name is Ella, a delightful and lovely girl who is always smiling and chatting. No wonder everyone loves to have a convo with her and befriend. The other one is Celine, she is a very detached girl who likes to immerse herself in her own world. I like her genuineness tho that's why I got close to her too.

We chatted for a while and I ordered their menu's best seller, the Caramel Pudding and Charcoal Roaste coffee. I also bought a swiss roll, corgi cake, bear toast, and strawberry cake. May natira pa naman sa pocket money ko sa school at work. Pang pasalubong narin.

The moment I arrived at home, dumiritso ako sa kwarto. I changed my clothes into sleepwears then soaked in bed. I closed my eyes. Later on, I remember that I have to finish some schoolworks on my phone pa. It's been a long day. I should rest na dapat. 

"Why are u used to staying up late at night?" my mom asked me, confusion is visible on her bare face. It's midnight already. Ambilis naman ng oras.

"You should go to sleep na. May bukas pa naman, tomorrow mo nalang yan tapusin." I have this quirk of staying up late. I love doin something at night time especially past midnight. Kaya pa ng mga mata na bumuka. It's a destructive habit sabi nila lalo na't it can affect our brain function.

"I'm almost done na po."

Humiga ako sa kama at nagkunwaring tulog na. Hinintay ko si Mama na pumunta sa kanilang kwarto at pinagpatuloy ko ang ginagawa nang makapasok si mama.

"Aysstt. It's pass 3 am already." I muttered.

Hindi ko na namalayan ang oras doing something at my phone. Feeling ko na 24 hours a day is not enough. 

A must-try feature for you. A hilarious face.

Ano ba itong mga notifs ko. Reality check siguro of my current situation rn. Puyat. Everybody is already asleep.

It's gonna be a great day tomorrow. A tiring and a good one. I'll go to the city tomorrow to comply with our group projects. I'll be meeting Sophia to edit the video about political campaign.

Mukhang hindi muna ako makakapagwork neto bukas.

It seems to me that life is more painful than death.

My mind, body and soul crave rest.
