blaster's point of view.

Today is December 31, we didn't have time to celebrate Christmas but for all i know, we have a New Year's Eve Countdown.

It's time to welcome the year 1979, another year to enter and another year.. Another year.

I slept over Zild's house cause i think it would be quicker since we have to go to the interview later night.

We have also booked a hotel for an overnight stay.

We're currently on the road since the place is pretty far. Motion sickness makes me dizzy.

Really dizzy.

"Uhm, Badj, do you have some candy? I feel nauseous.." i ask.

"Sorry, i don't have some."

I turn to my left to see Zild by the window, "uh, where's Shanne?"

"She's with her family, they're gonna celebrate new year together."

Oh.

That's why.

"Is this your first new year together?"

"This is not our first new year but we haven't celebrated new year like together cause we're busy with families and such."

"Oh. Okay."

"What can we talk about?" Tanong ko.

"How we're gonna answer the questions later." Sabi naman ni Zild at mukhang sigurado sa sinabi niya.

"Ipeke ba natin mga tawa tsaka sagot natin?" I raised an eyebrow at nagtanong.

"Magpakatotoo muna tayo ngayon." Sabi ni Zild habang nakatingin sa bintana.

"Di ka ba nahihilo?" Tanong ko kay Zild.

"Saan?"

"Sa amoy ng kotse?"

"Psychological. Kung iniisip mong nakakahilo eh nakakahilo talaga."

"May candy ka?"

"Wala."

"Patay, nasusuka ako." Sabi ko at nagtakip ng bibig.

"May plastic ka?" Tanong ni Zild kay Badjao, "patay, patay, patay." Paulit ulit niyang bulong.

"Oo, bakit?"

"Nasusuka si 'Ter!"

"Eto na yung plastic!"

We're doomed.

It was night time and they were not so ready for the countdown the hour after.

They have eaten a few snacks but the skinny deal is later evening when they get served new year's eve dinner.

Once they arrived at the place, fully dressed and makeup is done, They go to the room and sit down at the chairs.
