It's a four-hour ride from the city to our house in La Corlata.

'this day is so tiring'

Mom and Dad went to the resto near by to eat, at eto naman ako naiwan sa kotse to take a rest. Si mommy naman ay nag insist na I need to go out there and 'get a life', it's her favorite line, at halos lahat ng tao sa paligid ko iyan ang sinasabi, and here I am thinking na, kapag ba na sa labas ba mararamdaman mo'ng buhay ka? Look at me nandito naman ako sa loob ng kotse and I am still alive and breathing.

' I guess'

Ang dami dami nilang nag-iisip na depressed ako because, I rarely leave our house, laging na sa bed, ofcourse I read books as always, I always do star gazing everytime na sasapit ang dilim,  eat infrequently, at naglalaan ako ng maraming oras kaiisip sa kamatayan, but I have never thought of  kamatayan who is the one who fetch a person when it's their time to go to their permanent sleep, i'm not crazy!


Whenerever I read a cancer booklets, website or whatever, they always say that depression is a side effect of cancer, but one book taught me that depression is not a side effect of cancer. Depression is a side effect of dying, almost everything is a side effect of dying. Well thanks to the story of John Green.


Kanina pa ako nakatingin sa labas, and now I am seeing my mom and dad papalakad dito sa deriksyon kung saan naka park itong kotse. As I watch them from a far, I couldn't help but to smile, kitang kita mo kung gaano nila kamahal ang isa't-isa. Look into their eyes and you will sea.

"Lui sweetie, here is your apple pie" sa sobrang occupied ng utak ko dahil sa kung ano-ano, dagdagdan pa ng panonood ko kilala mommy, Hindi ko na namalayan na nandito na pala sila.

I'm drooling, this one is my favoriteee super. "Thanks Mom, thanks Dad"

I immediately dig into it, this one is so perfect, from the crust which is baked into perfection and this apple filling na nalalasahan ko pa yung pag ka caramelized dito with the hint of flavor ng cinamon. This made my taste buds alive! Gooosh! Pwede na ako mag judge sa Master chef!

"Ewan ko ba sayo anak, Hindi ko nasasarapan talaga Yan" kumento ni dad at inistart ang kotse. I just chuckled with his thought.

I guess this is the start of a four hour long ride. Tinapos ko na Ang pagkain ng pie, at tumingin nalang sa labas ng bintana para mag pa-antok. Kasabay ng pagdilim ng kaangitan, ay ang pag-bigat ng talukap ng mata ko.
