"Margaret. Tara nga lang muna dito." Astrin, my co-senatorial candidate called me.
"Ano 'yan? Bakit?" Naglakad ako papunta sa kanya at nakita ang hawak niyang ribbon.
"'Di ko kasi maabot, e. Can you please tie it?" She asked.
Kinuha ko naman 'yon at itinali sa buhok niyang nakapony-tail. The whole classroom was a mess. Banners are everywhere. Rolled tarpaulins are piled in a table. Kanya kanya ring ingay ang mga kasama ko dahil may mga nagkakabisado ng speech and memorizing their lines.
"Ate Janna, hi!" I squealed when I saw her.
She seemed nervous but she hugged me and smiled. Today was the day of the Meeting De Avance kaya naman natataranta na kaming lahat.
"Ano baby girl, ok ka lang ba?" She asked me.
Napatawa naman ako dahil tinanong niya pa ako. I am nervous but I tried my best to hide it. Kung titignan mo siya ngayon, parang mahihimatay na siya. I just patted her back to calm her down.
"I'm fine, ate ano ka ba. Ikaw, namumutla ka na." I told her.
"Kinakabahan ako, e. P'ano kung di ako makasagot mamaya?" She widened her eyes and scratched her head. "Nakakahiya!"
"Relax!" I tried to find something on my pouch. "Mag-Pochi ka muna." I said after handling her a piece of candy.
"Bakit ito? Hindi ba dapat Judge? 'Yung bubblegum?" She laughed at me.
"Pagpasensyahan mo na. 'Yan lang available, e." I giggled.
She ruffled my hair then she went on to talk to our campaign manager. I tried to relax myself by visiting my IG account. While scrolling, nag-notify sa 'kin na may bagong nag-DM. When I opened it, kumunot naman ang noo ko.
asianram: Goodluck Ms.
He sent me a picture of a powdered seasoning. Is this Magic Sarap? I think it is, yellow kasi siya na grains. Goodluck Ms. Magic Sarap? I don't get it so I replied to him.
_villamarga: what's with the magic sarap? R u cooking or smthng? Good luck din. Hope u do well later.
I was about to turn of my cellphone already because we are already being called by the organizer. Magsisimula na daw kami in 15 minutes so we need to go to the auditorium to prepare. Pero bago ko pa man mapatay, Ace already replied. That fast?
asianram: ay sorry dapat pala yung packaging.
Napakunot naman ang noo ko. I was waiting for his reply while we are heading outside. About a minute later, nagsend naman siya ulit ng Magic Sarap. Yung lalagyan na mismo.
asianram: Ayan. Goodluck Ms. :)
