D's POV
I woke up feeling tired dahil madaling araw na akong nakauwi galing sa bistro. It's Sunday and I had planned on going to the music shop today. Titingin ng bagong gitara, yong gamit ko sa gigs hindi naman akin and I have mine na luma na, not too good for gigs and such.
Finally, I can have a new guitar, I thought. Hindi bigay at hindi hiram. I can now have something I can finally call mine. The thought excites me na kahit kulang sa tulog ay bumangon na ako. I fix my bed and went to the bathroom after.
Nang makaligo ay lumabas na ako and went down to the kitchen. Tamang luto lang ng breakfast and timpla ng kape at pumunta sa sala.
I connected my phone to the speakers and ate my breakfast to the sound of Taylor Swift's The Archer blasting through the speakers. "Ive been the archer, I've been the prey." I sang along as I held the cup of coffee in my hand. "Who could ever leave me darling... And who could stay." I added taking a sip of coffee as the song draws to its next verse.
Haaay Taylor. What makes you so good ba ha? If it were another writer the lyrics would be so obvious you'd know right then what the line meant.
Masyado mo naman po ginalingan idol. Simpleng "I hurt them, I've been hurt too" pero bakit my pa "I've been the archer I've been the prey" ka pang nalalaman? Hahaha Classic Taylor Swift.
I'm like a fool here trying to interpret the lyrics ng kanta ni Taylor. Hindi naman po siguro masyadong obvious na idol ko sya. She's an amazing song writer kasi. Idioms, metaphors, hidden meanings, easter eggs, and all sa mga lyrics and music videos niya. It amazes me even more.
How can she write songs so beautiful, so emotional and raw? "I wish I could be like her." That is me wishful thinking, but then napatawa ako sa naisip ko saying "Naaah. You would need a great deal of inspiration and a bunch of heartaches."
Inspiration? Wala ako nyan! Heartaches? That, I wouldn't wish for. Hahaha! Naghahanap pa lang naman ng inspirasyon or should I say naghihintay. Patiently waiting, and wala pang dumadating. Wow rhyme. Lumalabas pagka song writer natin self. Hahaha
Tinapos ko ang aking breakfast at niligpit ang pinagkainan. After kong maglinis sa kusina ay isinunod ko ang sala at kwarto. Most of the songs of the album Speak Now na ang naubos ko bago ako matapos sa paglilinis.
Naks! Ang linis ng condo ah. Ganda nang gising natin mga par, kahit kulang sa tulog. Hehehe I left the speakers on, I went back to my room para maligo ulit. Medyo namawis ako sa ritwal na ginawa ko kanina.
It took me half an hour maligo and nag prepare na para umalis. I readied my bag, put my picnic blanket inside with my music notebook, pen, earphones, extra clothes, and of course capo. Hindi pwedeng makalimutan. My gig pa naman din mamaya.
Every weekends ang gig namin sa bistro, and weekdays we spend for practice sessions or other events na tutugtog kami.
Pagkagaling kong music store mamaya ay pupunta akong Secret Garden para tumambay and deretso na ako sa bistro after.
Secret Garden, my secret place. I need to get away sometimes and I would just go there. Malayo sa usok at gulo. Tahimik, mahangin, maganda. Tanaw ang buong syudad and the city is so beautiful at night.
Malaya akong nakakapag-isip, nakakapagsulat ako ng kanta.
I'm in the middle of fixing my things when my phone rang. I finished packing and hurried to the stairs as I heard the tone rang repeatedly. I haven't disconnected my phone yet, so yeah I can hear it all the way from here.
As I neared the speaker I pulled the plug without even turning the speaker off, biglang tumahimik ang paligid. Tanging phone ko nalang ang nag riring so I took my phone and answered the call.
