Stargazer: A Story on Stars

Astronomy 101

"Twinkle, twinkle, little star. How I wonder what you are?  In truth, we do know what they are. Huge celestial bodies made mostly of hydrogen and helium that produce light and heat (Zuckerman, 2019). The biggest example is the sun above you, but not the moon that comes after. Furthermore, they are also idasidsmadsajmoasd."

Ughhhh! Pano ko to itutuloy? 

Alam ko naman ang pinaguusapan ko, pero I can't put or type them into words ganun. Malapit pa naman submission ng report na to and nasa first paragraph pa rin ako.

And to think that I have a great astronomer and scientist's blood and genes, pero na writer's block sa scientific report ko ... I'm directly related to the great Galileo Galilei fyi. 

At the same time, batang estudyante rin lang ako. Kaya mamaya ko nalang uli itutuloy hays, umagang umaga pa naman.

"Leo!" 

And that's my cue. Natawag na si ma at mukhang nandyan na ang service.

Nang makasakay na ko sa van, its the usual scene uli. Mga estudyante, young and old, puro walang tulog.

Elementary pa nakatabi ko. Meaning, kulitan all morning at sobrang energetic ng mga to. Oo, cute sa unang tingin, pero nakakatakot haha. I could feel na this was going to be a long ride.

When I thought that ride couldn't be any longer, na traffic pa ah ah. I always say pa naman na if New York is the city that never sleeps, then Manila is the city where traffic never sleeps.

So I was left there, nakatitig nalang sa mga nasa labas ng bintana. 

Fortunately? Or unfortunately, not sure, pero another service was katapat namin. I had noticed na service pala ng girl best friend ko, Coleen Manalo, or Cole, as I like to call her. 

Mukhang nakita niya rin ako at nagtext pa siya. Wow, parang may load ako girl.

Ha panget mo talaga sa umaga. Joke. All day pala.

Okay nalang Cole, di naman masakit. Parang ganda mo ah. Pero syempre I couldn't tell her at wala ngang pantext. Kaya I made a "whatever"expression nalang na may pa raise pa ng eyebrows looking like I didn't care ganun.

Pero in all seriousness, if I wasn't lying to myself, I guess she qualifies for pretty. 

She was a little small? Pero di naman sa sobra, in a cute way nalang. Pero don't tell her that.

Also, she always had this messy hair na laging nakabagsak lang. Sabi ng iba mukhang bagong gising daw, kaya nakikiride nalang din ako at iniinis niya rin ako haha.

Meron rin siyang kinda boyish side? Pero di naman sa bi siya or lesbi, that was just her personality, fun, straight to the point, encouraging. Kaya I enjoyed her company.

I know it may sound like I'm oh so in love with her, pero that's just what I thought of her. Though nahulog nga ako sa makulit na yan for sometime there, mga three years ago. A story for another time.

Pero now, strictly best friend lang talaga ang tingin ko sa kanya. I kinda like someone else hehe, also a story for another time.

At ganun nalang dumaan ang mga kaisipan na yon, whilst nakabelat na pala sakin si Cole. 

Biglang gumalaw na ang mga sasakyan, and nabigla siya sa pag-abante ng van nila. Kaya ayun, nahulog siya haha. Inis pa girl, karma gets ya. 

After we reached school na, I was off to my classroom. Tingin here, tingin there, and puro magjowa mhayghad. I mean gusto ko rin pero grabe in your own time ladies and gentlemen.
