Ecstatic is the right adjective for what I'm feeling right now. I feel like I'm on cloud nine that I look like an idiot smiling from ear to ear. Wala e, I'm still not over about what happened last night. It was a night to remember, a night I won't ever forget.

I admit, when she said she was there outside the gym waiting for me, I assumed agad na eto na yun, sasagutin niya na siguro ako. But I told myself that I shouldn't assume unless she drop the bomb already and to my surprise, sinagot niya nga ako.

I'm happy not only because girlfriend ko na si Mika but because she's learning how to be open na talaga with me. She's trying to show me her true self, na she's willing to let me see her self, her flaws and everything about her and that's an achievement for me because that only means pinagkakatiwalaan niya na ako. 

Speaking of my girlfriend, I need to text her first thing in the morning pala. Ahhhh calling her my girlfriend makes my insides go crazy. Gay.

To: Mika 👸

Good morning bebe 😊 Eat your breakfast pag gising mo and don't forget to reply agad as soon as you see this text. Don't be a lazy panda okay? I love u po 😘

Is is too much? Nah. I think it's just perfectly fine because who the hell cares? She's my girlfriend now. And oh by the way, I haven't changed her name on my phone yet. Ano kaya? Bebe? Or same na lang? But I want something sweeter since nobya ko na nga siya.

I got up and immediately took a shower. I decided to bring my phone with me kasi I love listening to music while I am taking a shower. Lalo na pag sobrang happy ko, although it is also applicable kapag sobrang malungkot ako but this time it's because I'm really happy. So the moment I got into the bathroom, I took out my phone from my pocket and played my favorite playlist. 

🎶 From the moment I met you I just knew you'd be mine 🎶

Damn. Even spotify knows what I'm feeling right now. This song really reminds me of Mika 'coz she indeed brings out the best in me. Scratch that, Mika brings out the bestest in me. She motivates me, she supports me even though she may not show it frequently. And I'm doing what I'm doing now with so much passion because she inspires me.

🎶 'Cos you bring out the best in me, like no-one else can do 🎶

🎶 That's why I'm by your side, and that's why I love you 🎶

And the song ended and I'm also done. I am so inspired to go to school today is this real. Kidding, basta inspired ako to do what I need to do today. Special thanks to my happy pill.

As soon as I finished packing my stuff, I went down and they're already having a breakfast.

"Good morning people of the world!" I giddily said. They were all staring at me like I had committed a crime.

"Weirdo." Dani whispered ans rolled her eyes. Brat.

"Good morning manong! What's with the smile?" Mama asked me as I take a sit beside Thirdy. They're all staring at me intently. Guys, ang creepy niyo na.

"What?" I smilingly said and they're just waiting for me to say something.

"Okay eto na. Kami na ni Mika." I said and they paused for like 5 seconds.

"Ahhhhhh! So technically Ate ko na talaga si Ate Mika?" Dani asked excitedly. Nag-iba bigla yung mood niya.

"Mana ka talaga sakin anak." My dad said and winked at me. Syempre naman anak kaya 'to ni Bong Ravena.
