'Harry, it does not do to dwell on dreams and forget how to live.' sabi ni Professor Albus Wulfric Brian Dumbledore sa Harry Potter and the Sorceror's Stone na pinanunuod ko today sa living room namin kasama si manang. Tulog pa kasi sina Nich tapos nasa office nya na si mama kaya si manang nalang ang kasama ko magmovie bond.
By the way, today pala is a Saturday kaya heto ako pinanunuod ang adventures ni Harry sa magical world. I just want to get away from reality kahit ilang sandali lang, for sure kasi mamaya masstress nanaman ako eh. Remember, may all day tutorials ako with Gene every Saturday.
Speaking of my tutorials, Gene asked me a favor of having our tutorials after lunch sa bahay nila. Wala raw kasing magbabantay dun sa younger brother nya, may inaasikaso daw kasi yung parents nya eh. I said sure, eh alangan namang kasing iwan nya pa yung kapatid nyang mag-isa sa bahay nila para turuan lang ako. I'm not cruel, just so you guys know. *Please insert the warmest and nicest smile that you can imagine here. Hahaha*
Since half past eleven na, I asked manang na to prepare our lunch while I'm taking a bath. Plano ko kasing pumunta kina Gene ng mga 1pm eh kaya maliligo na ako. Nagpahanda rin pala ako ng packed foods kay manang para naman hindi nakakahiya dun sa kapatid ni Gene baka kasi pagtawanan ako nung bata kung puro libro lang ang dala ko. Hahaha
After all the bathroom ceremonies I did, inayos ko na yung mga dadalhin kong things then bumaba na ako to have lunch with manang.
Before leaving, tinignan ko muna sarili ko sa salamin. I must look stunning because I am going to see Gene at his house. Joke! Hahahaha! I think I look good and casual naman, a statement shirt for a top and a dark blue skinny jeans for my pants is my get up for today.
After ko masettle ang lahat ng kaartehans ko in life, I made my way na to our school. Duon nalang daw ako hihintayin ni Gene kase malapit lang naman daw sa school namin yung bahay nila.
'Uy Lex, sorry talaga sa abala ha. Wala lang talaga kase kong mapagiiwanan sa kapatid ko eh.' sabi ni Gene pagkasakay nya sa kotse namin, ayaw pa nga nyang sumakay nung una pero napilit ko lang. Galing ko guys no? Hahaha
'Shouldn't you say your greetings first, Gene?' I joked him. 'Kidding aside, you shouldn't be sorry Gene. You must prioritize your family above anything else. Ayos lang ito sakin, atleast makakapunta narin ako sa bahay nyo. Haha' dugtong kong sabi.
'Huwag kang magexpect na malaki at magarbo yung bahay namin gaya ng inyo ha. Di naman kami kasing yaman nyo eh. Hahaha' natatawang sabi ni Gene.
'Tinuro ni mama sakin na huwag maging maarte. Kaya as long as walang rats and cockroaches ang bahay nyo, I'm totally fine with it.' sagot ko naman ulit.
'Wala naman. Malinis ang bahay namin.' sabi ni Gene sakin ng nakangiti.
Wala pang 15 minutes kaming nasa kotse nung pahintuin ni Gene yung kotse sa tapat ng isang bahay. Initial impression ko? Average looking yung bahay nila Gene, painted with terracotta for the walls and crimson for the roof. Perfect sya sa family of four. Plus, the eminence of the homey vibe is so strong you'll want to stay and live with them for eternity.
'Done assessing our home? What's the verdict?' nakangising tanong sakin ni Gene. Mukhang napatagal ata ang pagtitig ko sa bahay nila. Sorry naman guys. Hahaha
