“In the Name of the Father, of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. The mass has ended. Go with the love of Christ.”

Amen.

I kneel down for a short prayer at lumabas na pagkatapos.

Maganda ho ang simbahan. Yung architecture and that vintage ambiance, very classic! Katapat nyan ang Plaza kung saan maraming kabataang tumatambay sa bench na ilalim ng puno habang yung iba sa naka-arkong cemented bleachers.

Isa na ako dun.

I stay there with my tempura at fish ball. I watchdancers doing practice and hip hop stunts.

There’s a lot of social activities roving around that area and for me, conducive xa para sa kagaya kong mahilig mag-isip. Mahilig magreflect. Ganito ako eh! By the way, 

I am Melissa Ilinita Herbito, empathically simple but glooms inside and brings outer beauty. Since then, I consider myself as an average girl. Matalino daw ako but my highest achievement is 1st honourable mention during elementary. I know how to sing pero di yung birit to the max. Bet ko si Colbie Calliat, Up Dharma Down, KZ Tandingan at iba pang artist na cool lang ang dating. Bossa Nova of a sort. I can dance but wasn’t given that biggest break kasi di din nalalaman ng iba. I write news articles, personal journal and siguro feel ko, writing definitely comforts me. So ayun, I also build good relationships with people regardless of who he/she is. For them, my amiable attitude, positive disposition, determination and faith helped me conquer all odds. Fighter ika nga! I came from a broken family but it did not hinder me to what I am now (as what I believed! :]). I grew up with Mama and younger brother, Michelin. Si Teddy ko yan. We went through ups and downs yet it made us real stronger. However, experiences are dependent to one another. Who you are now is basically shaped by what you are yesterday.

Walang maxadong ornaments ang buhay ko except nitong kukute ko.

At this time, I’m battling with myself whether to buy a detergent or keep my moneyfor future purposes. “Pero kelangan kong maglaba”.  Naisip ko. Oh diba? Pati yan dinadaan ko pa sa con..tem..pla..tion. Namaan! After all, I bought it from a nearby convenience store. Aside nga pala sa hiligkong mag-isip, bet ko ding maglakad. Walking gives me a sense of being me. Nakakapag-isip ako ng bonggang-bongga.

So ngayon? Alam niyo na a quarter bite of me. Teka lang. Okay na sana eh nang biglang... “Psst” narinig ko sa di kalayuan. 

Patuloy ang ako sa paglalakad. Malay ko naman at hindi pala ako, diba? It’s very unethical din.

“You’re staring at me kanina, tama?” and now, akalain mong nasa harapan ko na siya? 

****

Opps! Opps!
