Before he left.

Space and Rocketships

"Aly!! Bilisan mo aalis na ako." Kinagatan ko nalang yung toast bread na nasa lamesa sabay takbo palabas ng garahe, si Kuya Noah kasi ang maghahatid saakin ngayon sa school dahil nag leave yung driver namin dahil birthday daw ng anak niya ngayon.

"Sorry Kuya, sorry talaga I'll just treat you later." hinalikan ko ang pisnge niya at sumakay na sa shotgun seat.

"Alam mo naman na may training ako ngayon, kanina pa ako tinetext ng team mates ko na hinahanap na daw ako ni coach." Umiling siya at inistart na yung kotse. My kuya is a star player of the school's basketball team, hobby nya kasi talaga ang paglalaro ever since then.

"Sorry, If you want I'll just talk to your coach since he's my P.E teacher."

"I don't need you to do that, just be early tomorrow okay?" I nod as an answer. Tulog pa si mama nung umalis kami, si papa naman ay nung madaling araw pa umalis dahil kailangan siya sa city hall.

"By the way Aly, search mo nga si Athalia Quinzel Rodriguez sa facebook." napakunot ako ng noo dahil parang familiar yung name na binanggit niya

"Why? Who is she?" he smiled-- yung malaking ngiti. Uh-oh. I quickly typed her name on facebook

"She's beautiful. Yun ba ang gusto mong marinig galing sakin?" I laughed

"Of course not, alam kong maganda siya. I want you to stalk her for me, kaklase ko yan and she just confessed her feelings for me -- last night." oh my -- so this girl is one of kuya's fans, don't tell me may bago nanaman siyang bibiktimahin pagkatapos ni Ate Athena. Well, basically Athena cheated on Kuya Noah pala, claiming he only dated my kuya because she wants to get famous eh may boyfriend naman palang basketball player.

"My gosh kuya, wag mo akong idamay sa pangba babae mo ah."

"Aly, stop. I won't include her on my list, just get me some infos about her." bahagya siyang kumindat at ngumiti sakin sabay balik ng ulo niya sa harap. Nababaliw nanaman ata ng kuya ko, If I know ganito naman siya palagi kapag may natitipuhan siyang babae.

"She loves watching movies and her favorite film is Love, Rosie. She also loves baking, she is planning to move to Amsterdam after she graduated in College. She also have some collection of paintings and vintage coca cola bottles."

"What the -- saan galing yung mga information na yan?" gulat na gulat na tanong ni kuya

"Well basically, Athalia has a blog and the link is in her facebook profile."

"Anong pangalan ng blog niya?"

"Space and Rocketships"

"really? Bakit parang ang weird?"

"According sa blog niya, yung papa niya ay isang professor sa isang university na major sa astronomy, but sadly his dad died when she was still young-- kaya in honor of his dad's exellency she nicknamed herself star and named her blog space and rocketships."

I saw the smile on my kuya's lips, pati yung mga mata niya kumikinang na para bang may masama siyang balak pero syempre joke lang yun. Minutes later ay finally nasa school na din kami, pagka park na pagka park niya ay tumakbo na siya agad papunta sa gym habang ako naman ay didiretso sa canteen para bumili ng pagkain ko, since hindi ako nakapag take ng breakfast at 8am pa ang klase ko.

"Ate, isang order ng pancake plus banana bread with iced tea." I handed out the bill and proceed to a table, I can't believe my kuya told me that I was late eh 6am palang at mamaya pa ang klase ko, pasalamat siya at wala akong choice dahil wala nang ibang maghahatid sakin sa school.
