From the word itself.
Ordinary - just the usual. Normal. Not special. Not extreme. Not good nor bad. In between of everything.
Did it ever happen to you that you feel the things around you became muted? Like 'Ahh. What's happening?' 'Another day to live'
You wake up in the morning-brush your teeth-take a bath-eat-work-then sleep.
Just a normal life that everyone would think. But for you, another struggle, another problem, another everything.
Same cycle. Praying that one day these routine changes. That one day this black and white world would have some color in it.

"Yui!"
"What?" Malamig kong sagot sa taong tumawag sa akin.
"Kailan ka ba matututong ngumiti?" Tanong nito sa akin at ngumiti sa akin. Napailing nalang ako at nagpatuloy sa paglalakad ko pauwi.
Pagdating sa bahay ay dumiretso lang ako sa aking kwarto at humiga na doon. Wala nakong lakas para makipagusap pa kahit kanino.
Sa liit ng bahay ay impossibleng di ko makita ang aking ina. I'm not in good terms with her. Lagi na lang akong may maling ginagawa. Wala nakong ginawang tama.
Tumingin ako sa kisame at inisip ang lahat ng nangyari ngayong araw.
