Chapter 13: A Day with Angels

2nd term will end in a few days. I finished my last term exam just before lunchtime. We had our last game for this year last Wednesday… and thank God our team standing has remained unblemished… yey!!! Coach just announced that we will have a week-long break from practice. This is what I call heaven!

I decided not to go home to Pampanga... yet.  We will have our team’s Christmas Party on Friday night, December 23.  Yung iba kasi sa team will still have an exam that morning. That is why we can’t have it earlier. If I go home taoday, aksaya lang sa pamasahe.

Anyways, this year, the Lady Spikers will have a COSPLAY-themed party.  The Bullies decided to bring our Harry Potter Addiction a notch higher, so we will cosplay as HP characters. Camille will be Mad-Eye Moody. Cienne decided she will be Tonks. Carol will be Professor Trelawney. Ate Kim (I don’t know how she plans to pull this though) wants to be the nose-less and hairless Lord Voldemort. Mika will be Bellatrix Lestrange.  I will be my favorite character Professor Severus Snape.  Come to think of it, none of us will be coming in as the lead trio (Harry, Hermione, and Ron). Not that we dislike them. We adore them. it is just that we decided to pick the most outrageous characters in the septology. Compared to them, I am expecting that mine would be the tamest costume.  I was tempted to do Dumbledore with beard and the works but I just love Snape to bits. So keber kung boring ang costume nya. I am so excited. We even ordered wand replicas from Noble Collection for this event. Di naman obvious na addict ano?

Anyhoo, ate Kim and I were asked to prepare a surprise number. Duet sana ulit gagawin namin. Kaso di magpanagpo sked namin to rehearse. Kaya it was decided na kanya kanya na lang na kanta. Si ate Abby, ate Chepot at kami lang ni Ate Kim ang may alam nito. Haha! Ano kaya ang kakantahin ko? Hmmm....

It just dawned on me, wala pala akong gagawin for 2 whole days. Hala! Ano kaya ang magawa? Nakakatamad mag-mall. Tiyak ¾ ng population ng Metro Manila nasa mall doing their last minute Christmas shopping. Amusement park kaya? Tiyak madami ding tao dun. During seasons like this, madaming budget ang mga bagets and most of them will spend it sa mga rides doon. I hate large crowds. Don't get me wrong. I’m not a snob. It’s just that ayaw ko sa masyadong maingay at masikip na mga lugar. Nawiwindang ang utak ko.

Naputol ang pagmumuni ko ng…

“Ei Tomsy, may gagawin ka ba tomorrow?”, tanong ni Mika

“Daks, wala po. Ng-iisip nga ako ng pwedeng magawa eh. Last exam ko na yung sa Comm2  kanina.  Ayaw ko naman umuwi ng maaga sa Pampanga at may party pa nga sa Friday. Gastos lang sa pamasahe if uuwi ako then babalik din kaagad.”, sagot ko naman.

“Samahan mo na lang ako tom. Sige na.  Please, Tomsy ko”, aba’t nagpacute pa ang ale. Sige lang. Effective naman eh.

“Basta Daks, hindi sa mall ang lakad mo ha. Ayaw ko makipagsiksikan sa mga nagChristmas rush”

“Di po sa mall. Scout’s honor!”, sagot nyang may pagtaas pa ng 3 fingers nya na parang nag-oath sa girl scout.

“Saan ka ba pupunta bukas?” Mabuti ng malaman ko no. Baka mapasubo ako. Mahirap na.

“Special place, Tomsy. Bukas mo na malalaman. For now, secret muna ha. Hehe”.  Wish ko lang walang iniisip na kalolohan to.

“Parang nagdalawang isip tuloy akong sumama”, of course I was just joking. Kahit naman saan pupunta tong si Daks eh sasamahan ko naman talaga sya.

“Eh Tomsy, wala ng bawian. You said yes already”, sabi nya sabay pout. Awww. She is so cute when she does that.

“Eh bakit di si Aiko ang yayain mo. Di ba sya naman ang lagi mong kasama. O kaya si Stick” Stick is her BFF from high school, Jessey De Leon, who plays for UST Lady Tigers. I’ve met her several times already and have gone out with them a couple of times na rin.
