We we're on our way to one of the barrangays in Iloilo City. It takes about 5 hours to reach the place via bus but since we are using the company's Van, it would only take 4 hours from the airport. I am one of the volunteers since I'm just having a vacation in the Philippines because we already living and studying in Canada but a company offered me and my bestfriend, Ellie, to help the rural areas in Iloilo, our hometown. At first we hesitate because we're still students and what the heck is the connection of the dental mission in Ellie's course which is BS Chemistry. Psh! Its just that she and the owner's son has something intimate. Oh well my best friend's love story is another story and I'm not here to write hers. I'm a little bit nervous and excited because its the reality of what I'm studying at school. The Van suddenly stop and I startled and stared at Ellie.
"Hey best you want to pee or you want food? I think its their bus stop but the driver said there's no rest room, so just like the old days search for a tree then pee". That was a joke actually for her because she even laugh a little. This silly girl has no sense of humor at all.
"Nah! I just want to smell some fresh air!" I replied. I miss the environment here. Huge trees, falling leaves, fresh air and a guitar! Wait, where the hell that guitar came from? It is leaning at the back of the other Van at the front of ours. It looks familiar and I'm about to look closely but someone yelled that we're about to leave in a minute. I walk back towards our Van and try to figure out where did I seen that instrument.
Our journey continues, an hour or two and we're already there.
Here we are again with my never ending dream, following the blue light that leads me into a huge tree with the same guy leaning on it playing his guitar. I am not into photography but I can tell that this scenery can give a good perspective to any photographer. I was startled when he slowly look at my direction and catch me checking him out. But hey, my sight fades away as I get nearer and try to shape his features. What's happening?
"Best! Best! BEST! Wake up! You're dreaming! You scare the hell out of me! What is it about him this time? C'mon spill it out?". Ellie said continuously.
"Nothing new! Still the old ones. And please lower your voice." I replied.
"Try harder in acting. You're too obvious as a liar." She said while smirking.
"Whatever. Let's talk about it next time." She knows me from head to toe.
