Mika
Kakatapos lang ng practice game and I gotta admit I almost forgot that I didn't play for a year. Yung adrenaline rush ko andun pa rin eh. Parang di nagpahinga but I can feel my left arm throbbing, nasobrahan ata. Minasahe ko ng kaunti.
"Ye u okay?"
Kahit mejo nasasaktan I gotta fake it. Mahirap na bumalik kapag nawala nanaman ako sa line up this year.
"Coach! Yeah never been better. Namiss ko po!"
"The Taft Tower is still in you. Sa lakas ng line up natin surely we'll bring home the bacon."
"Oo naman Coach last game for Ate Aby!"
"Oh I know you're very enthusiastic pero hinay hinay lang. You know the doctor advised me na hindi pa pwedeng masyadong mapagod ka. Di ka pa totally healed."
"Coach naman, mukha ba kong di pa totally healed? Feeling ko nga di naman ako nakaaksidente!" I tried to be the jolly me again pero si Coach to, I know he got it all figured out. I mean hindi pa namin alam, alam na niya. Ganun siya katinde.
"Halika sa office, I'll check your arm baka napaano yan."
Buking!
"Yes Coach."
When we reached his office, kinuha niya yung first aid kit niya. Nilagyan ng yelo yung ice bag and binigay sakin.
"Masyadong malakas yung mga palo mo kanina, gigil na gigil. Maganda yun pero alam naman nating kailangan mo maghinay hinay."
"Pero Coach di pwedeng malamya ako, kahit practice game lang yun. You said it before naman diba? Kapag nasa court kami we're the beasts wag naming iuunderestimate ang kalaban."
"I know but in your case kung gusto mong umabot sa games this season take it easy, one step at a time. In a recovery stage ka pa mahirap kapag sa mismong finals bumagsak ang katawan mo."
"I understand Coach."
"Oh masakit pa yung shoulder mo?"
"Mejo okay na, cold compress lang to Coach napahinga kasi ng matagal."
"That's what I'm talking about. We will get there Mika but for now we're taking baby steps."
"Kasi baby pa ko?"
"Oo baby damulag!"
This is what I love about our Coach, inside the court he's The Lady Spiker's Coach but outside he's our father. Hindi niya kami pinapabayaan, we know he always got our back.
"Welcome back Taft Tower!"

We have 1 week vacation bago magtraining ulit kaya niyaya ko mga teammates ko to unwind.
"I want to get wasted!!" I drank from the bottle of vodka that we ordered, pang-apat na ata ito. Chris, Von and Arvin are dancing pero nakikita kong nagwoworry na din sila because damn I am wasted.
"Tangina."
Napaupo ako sa sofa na pinareserve namin. I saw Chris sat beside me.
"Tangina." Hindi ko mapigilan ang maglabas ng sama ng loob. Trinca broke up with me. She freaking broke up with me after our delightful dinner at saktong v-day pa! What a way to break someone's heart.
"Bro let it go."
"Fucksht."
Nilapag ko yung hawak kong bote and checked my phone. A tweet from Trinca showed up, di ko pa pala naeedit yung sa twitter. Damn.

Fanfiction"But if you close your eyes does it always feel like nothing changed at all?" It's a Pompeii kinda day. I just feel like listening to my song of the month. Everybody has their own interpretation of the song but for me this about a person, not movi...
