TWICE - [Jiji]
“You ready?” nilapitan ako ni Naj na kinakabahan dito sa backstage at hinihintay na matapos ang performance ng sa GOT7. Tumango lang ako.
He offered me a drink na tinanggap 'ko naman at agad na ininuman. I closed the lid and returned it to him after, “Sorry kanina. Masyado lang ako kinakabahan para dito kaya nasungitan kita..”
Tinanguhan niya lang ako at tahimik kami na nagaantay sa turn namin. Kakasimula lang ng GOT7 so panigurado ay mamaya maya pa sila. Lalo pa na may 10 minutes talk na binigay sa amin kada matatapos ang performance.
“Actually,” nabaling ang tingin 'ko sa kaniya na nanonood rin sa may TV kung saan mapapanood ang performance ng GOT7. “I do love my career..”
“Yeah, that's what you said — ”
“But not as much as I love myself.” putol niya sa sasabihin 'ko. “That's the advocacy of our group.. for everyone to love themselves.. and to do things that will make them happy and not just for others.”
I chuckled. “Why are you telling me this?”
“If the things that will make me happy ay walang koneksyon sa trabaho 'ko. I'd still risk for it. We only die once.”
“Ani. It's we only live once — ” and again, he cut me off. “No. We live everyday. But we don't die everyday.”
Right. But why is he telling me this? Nagp-promote ba 'to? Geez.
“We don't need everyone's approval. We're old enough to decide for what's best for us. And if people think that our choices and decisions are pathetic.. So what? We've got our own business to deal with. They have theirs as well.”
“I clearly don't understand why're you telling me this. But sorry to interrupt your words of wisdom, sir. But we gotta get ready on stage.” sabay kaming natawa sa sinabi 'ko at tumango na lang.
Nag ready na kami at pumwesto sa isang block na aangat hanggang sa makarating kami sa pinaka stage.
“FIGHTING JIJI!”
“YOU GOT THIS GUYS!”
“THAT'S OUR MONSTER! RAP MONSTER! HAHAHA”

“It's been a long day without you, my friend
And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
We've come a long way from where we began
Oh, I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
When I see you again (Hey)” - Me (Naj)
“Damn, who knew?
All the planes we flew
Good things we've been through
That I'll be standing right here talking to you
'Bout another path
I know we loved to hit the road and laugh
But something told me that it wouldn't last
Had to switch up
Look at things different, see the bigger picture
Those were the days
Hard work forever pays
Now I see you in a better place (see you in a better place)” - Naj
“Uh
How can we not talk about family when family's all that we got?
Everything I went through you were standing there by my side
And now you gon' be with me for the last ride” - Naj
