# PANIMULA
How far can your ambitions take you? Gaano mo katagal kakayanin? Gaano mo katagal titiisin? How much patience and effort are you willi g to give just to get what you want? How much time can you sacrifice just so you can succeed? Life is not about wrong and right, it is a survival of the fittest. It is a game to which only predators can enjoy while preys shake in fear. Sino ba namang magtatangkang kalabanin ang isang tigre? Paano mo naman haharapin ang isang balyena kung ikaw ay isang maliit na peste? You have to evolve to fit in, you haveto be perfect to not be the victim.
"Para sa iyo? Sino si Celestina?"
How can you say what value does a person holds? Paano mo nasabing mahal mo siya o paano mo nasabing nais mo siyang protektahan. If I am heartless, I would rather leave everything behind. I wont bother looking back to those whom I left and struggled behind. There are many cunning people in this world that you can never believe in anyone. Unfortunately, I am the same as any other human being. I feel, express, act, and reflect. If I were asked who Celestina is to me thiugh, I wouldn't know what to response.
Everything is disastrious. Nagkakagulo't walang katahimikan ang buong lugar kung nasaan ako ngayon. Some are crying and some are screaming. Some may be spacing out and some are just here for attendance and nothing genuine with the event that is happening. Like a roaring storm amidst the Pacific, like how people panic during a quake. Everyone is shaken up, may it be real or not. I am not even shocked about my environment, if I might say, this is quite natural
"S-si Celestina po ang a-aking pinaka m-matalik na k-kaibigan," Said someone with a shaky voice. Her stutterings escaped her lip's as of those who were hurt from the sudden news. She seems to be suffering from the current events but despite that, she's still able to show greate physique. A fine woman in, I think her late twentys, wearing a black sleeveless dress with a black loves and black ankle strap heels, answered.
She's very much tall but I think I'm taller by inch or two, ang kanyang kutis ay hindi ganoon ka puti di tulad ng akin ngunit hindi din siya ganoon ka-kayumanggi. Ang kanyang mga mata'y singkit na nilagyan ng kulay na itim ding kolorete. Ang mga kulorete nito sa mukha kundi itim, kulay puti naman.
Batid kong nakikidalamhati din ito sa pamilya ng namatayan batay sa kasuotan nito't mga galawan. But then, you could never judge a book by its cover, you never know what it's content. Life can always be deceiving, a friend can always be a fore after a bliink, a day, a week, or a year. But why would people hide in sheep's clothing? Why can't we be honest to each other? Don't we have the conscience to at least show the most decent versions of us? When will our morality take us when all we do are those what favor us?
"Kayo po, para sa inyo sino si Celestina?"
"She's a almost a sister to me. She never fails to make everyone around us happy. She never fails to motivate us and help us stand up again." sagot ng babaeng walang ekspresyong nakatingin ng mariin sa makulit na lalakeng nagtatanong.
"how about you sir, para sa'yo, sino si Celestina?"
"She's our angel..." Tumigil ang lalakeng nakasuot ng puting t-shirt at itim na skinny jeans, may luhang nagbabadya sa mga mata at nanginginig ang mga labi.
"I-I'm sorry." sambit na lamang ng lalake't di na napigilang lumuha. Agad siyang tumalikod at naglakad na palis sa harap ng nagtatanong.
"Para po sayo miss, sino si Celestina?"
"A very brave woman." A lady said in a very stern voice, tila ba pinractice na niya ng paulit ulit ang dapat niyang sabihin sa tanong ng taong iyon. Siguro ay narinig na niya ito kanina, since visitors came into this mansion, this person already ask almost every guest the very same question.
