We started eating breakfast at La Creperie as planned. We both ordered our all-time favorite, pumpkin soup. Consequently, we drove and began talking about random things. From bunch of school works, newly found favorites, favorite places to now, my prof. 

"Remember the prof that I was talking about from Film Production? Hay grabe! He would give us works and a lot of stuff to edit and guess what? He told us to pass it the next day! Come oooooon, you know how I take my time in doing my stuff and here's him giving us taskS to pass the next day?

I mean, of course I'm crazy to tell you that he gives us taskS to pass the next day but I DON'T KNOW! I'M VERY AAAAA!

I can't even put it into words." 

That prof of ours is really getting into my nerves. As a respect to him, wala na lang akong sinasabi sa kaniya. I also agree to his terms even though masakit nga sa puso minsan. Me and my classmates share the same complaint. Well, what can we do? Babagsak kami kung hindi kami susunod to that freaking deadline.

"Here oh, water. Calm down, Lou. Your prof's always been like that for what? Ever since first sem right? Calm your nerves, I know naman that you can do it. Just breathe. I've seen your passion to what you're doing and it amazes me so much. There's nothing you can't do naman. Show that prof of yours your best work." She told me and offered water. I drank it. 

"Awwwwww my best friend's so sweet. Love you Beibeiiiiiiiiiiiii!"

"Love you too, Lou."

We came back to talking about a lot of things as if we haven't had the time to talk about it last night. Ganito siguro talaga kami, hindi nawawalan ng kwento sa isa't-isa. 

"Have you heard of The Juans? I love their songs so much! Oh my gosh, Hatid? I super duper love that song." She asked me. I know she's been fond of this band for I have seen her recent playlist and I heard her jamming to it last night.

"Yes! I think I know them. I listen to their songs din. One of them is Hindi Tayo Pwede, right?"

"Yup, that's one of their songs. Wait, where's the aux?" I pointed where it is and she got it. "Thank you. Okay, wait. I'll play it."

Sa pagitan ng simula't katapusan
Matagal ko nang pinag-iisipan
Bago mo ako tuluyang iwanan
Ihahatid kita

The song started and so is she. Sinasabayan niya ang kanta while putting her hands into her chest as if she's feeling the song. Natawa naman ako 'dun. Parang ramdam ah?

Kung mayroon akong natutunan
Sa dami ng ating pinag-awayan
'Yan ay wala akong dapat patunayan
Ihahatid kita

"Yes, baby. Ihahatid kita!"

She said with matching emotions. I looked at her.

"WHO IS THIS BABY?" I asked her, a bit shocked. I almost screamed. 

"May hindi ka ba pinapakilala sa akin? Papasa ba 'yan? What happened to your wall? Magtatampo talaga ako sayo if ever mayroon, big time. Beiiiiii! Answer me!" I asked her nonstop. How come I did not know this guy? As far as I know, wala naman siyang pinapakilala sa akin. Also, wala rin naman akong nakikitang palagi niyang kasama.

"How can I answer you if you keep on blabbering and asking me questions? There's no one and no one will be and chill, it's just an expression.

And the walls are still high. Someone's trying to lower it down but nah, I doubt he will."

"I only hear one person whose expression's baby. I think you got it from him. Ikaw ha, how are you both? Is he your baby already?" Yep, and he's the one and only Thirdy Ravena. He's the guy who has baby as his expression. He always say that when he finishes his work or he's happy. It really depends on him. He adds it to his sentence. I don't know where he got that expression.
