The Flight Of Leoris

Chapter 1

-Chapter 1-
Leoris;

"So you're all gathered here today, its either dahil sa magulang niyo or dahil sa gusto niyo ng adventure, tama ba?" Sabi ng babae na nakatayo sa harapan na mukhang na sa 40's na. She's smiling from ear to ear.

"Yes!" Sigaw ng mga tao rito sa loob ng isang room, it looks like a mini seminar room. Well it is. Kung bibilangin, sa tingin ko mga fifteen lang kami rito ngayon.

"Okay, so first of all introduction muna tayo ng group na sinasalihan niyo. Again, you cannot back out once you're in, Eight lang ang makukuha. " She said, holding a folder while they're seven people in the stage na nakaupo sa likod niya. The eight people in the stage looks happy and seems like they're observing us. Also, may hawak silang papel and I think that papers are about us.

"First of all, I know that the 5 of you are the kids of these people sa likod ko. So don't worry sa sampu, no bias dito. Kung sino ang deserving, 'yon lang." Sabi niya.

I discovered this group dahil sa school news paper namin and I really like to join these kinds of groups. Travelling groups and issupport naman kami ng mga 'seniors' daw namin dito sa group. Actually, they have a show back then. Sa TV ko lang sila pinanonood noon.

"Alam niyo naman siguro ang pinasok niyo, right? This group is called Project Dream. This group at the moment is on its third generation, kumbaga yes we're your seniors. Kaming walo na nakikita niyo sa harapan niyo. We're the second batch, and you... Sa inyong fifteen kukunin ang walong mga taong magiging third batch or third generation ng Project Dream." She said, may tumayong babae sa mga nakaupo. I guess ipapaliwanag niya rin ang mga bagay-bagay sa Project Dream.

"Hi. Yung nauna sa akin, hindi na nagpakilala. She's Miyah Mindano, she's the first one na napili and namention ng first batch or ang founders ng unang Project Dream. Now, I'm Gaeia Frastia a pure filipina. Hindi ko alam kung saan nakuha yung surname ko, pero hayaan niyo na.” She stopped and cleared her throath for a second, “Excuse me. Okay, so going back. Project Dream is a group where it consist of eight people na mapipili with our standards. Why did the founders started this group? Ang founders ng Project Dream ang namamahala sa isang school kung saan kami nag-aral because tatlo sa amin ay anak nila, kasama na ako doon. Ngayon, kwento ko ha?" Nagpaalam pa siya, we just nodded and smiled at her. While she's speaking, I'm literally confused kung bakit may telang nakaharang sa likod namin. Ang spacious din ng mini seminar room na ito. Mini pa nga ba?

"Noon kasi, trip ng nanay ni Miyah. Trip ng nanay niya lang magbarkada gano'n, yung first batch or yung original kasi na team ginawa nila ang Project Dream when they're on their college years. Bakit nila ginawa? Isa sa naunang Project Dream na founders can do Lucid Dreaming and that's my father. Yes, father ko. Now, he dreamed of travelling and stuffs then he told his mom about that and then they agree on something that he proposes. He's going to Los Angeles, that's why he made this group, Project Dream para maalala niya at magkasama sila ng mga kaibigan niya. In that group, nakilala niya yung mother ko. She's Stella, my mom. The Project Dream is a travelling group kung saan partnered 'yon ng vlogs sa youtube at alam niyo naman siguro 'yon dahil yung iba sa inyo doon siguro nakita 'to." Ang daming tumango sa aming 15.

"Yung naiipon sa sweldo ng vlogs, 'yon yung gagawing parang pondo for charity. Yes, we're giving our 100 percent para sa charity. Why? Because that's their golden promise. We also pledged for that. They made this group to enjoy, feel and of course to make some dreams of the members come true. Sabay-sabay nilang na reach lahat ng mga goals nila, that's why lahat kayo dito is college students. We're going to build a bond, where magiging masaya kayo and at the same time malilibot niyo ang mundo. That's the Project Dream. Today, my father is living at L.A. with my mother. The other 6? Sila ang namamahala ng school na ginawa nila." She smiled and then continued,

"Now, pinasa sa akin ang privilege na maghanap ng Project Dream, second batch. Here we are, may sariling pamilya and still malakas pa rin ang bond. We want the third batch na gano'n din. That's why, we did interview you kanina. We got the eight names na rin, and yes... Maya-maya? We'll discuss it. Sa ngayon, you can eat your lunch and bumalik after 1 hour. Thank you very much. " She said and then we stand up then I looked for my cousin. We'll be taking our lunch.

Project Dream, third batch?

I love to travel, that's my dream. Pero siguro mas masaya magtravel kung may mga kasama ako. Project Dream, I hope I can be one of the members. Marami pa akong tanong. Pero sa ngayon, chichibog muna ako. Baka magalit ang aking dragons sa loob ng tiyan, they need Piattos.
