" what is all about that Jared ? "


Naglalakad kami sa lounge at may hawak ako ngayong bottled water dahil nauhaw talaga ako sa panunuod.

" I dont know. Some punk dudes "

Napabuntong hininga ako at huminto sa isang tabi at sumandal.

" I told you to say no. Hey, what will happen if you lose ? Jared, you're not answering me. What are those chips ? If you dont have those chips then whats the purpose of the game ? Yung pustahan ba yun ? So anong pustahan dun ? "

He puts his hand inside his pockets and just smiled at it.

" Its done. I won. No need for scolding me about it. Come on, lilibre mo pa ko. "

" what ? you really want to get into trouble arent you ? "

" come on they got live band "

Napatingin ako dun sa bar at mukang nagkakagulo dun. Naglakad kami papunta dun at naupo kami sa stool bar.

" just one beer " he said smiling.

I took my card and my phone. Nilapag nung bartender yung bote ng beer niya at binigay ko yung card ko. I checked my phone too for the time. It's 9:03 pm.

" Jared I need to go back before 10. "

He looked at his wristwatch too and nodded.

" 40 minutes. "

" hindi mo inadjust yan ? " tanong ko sa kanya.

Umiling siya tsaka sinimulan yung beer niya. Meanwhile, the crowd screamed when a group of men climb up the stage.

Naningkit ang mata ko na para bang kinikilala yung banda. Unti-unti akong napatayo nang makilala ko ang mga ito.

Then as the man finally spoke on the microphone, I couldnt be more happier in my entire life.

" good evening ladies and gentleman, we're the- "

" STRANGERS STRINGS ... oh my gosh- is that- oh IS THAT THEM ? "

We are both surprised when I grabbed his clothes because of my excitement. Napabitaw ako agad at ngumiti.

" do you know them too ? " tanong niya agad.

Dont tell me he dont know this band. Oh my freaking goodness. Is this a dream ? A dream come true..

" Jared did you know the band ? "

" yeah sikat nga sila "

" did you know they were performing tonight ? "

" No. Napansin ko lang na pinagkakaguluhan na sila kanina. This is a surprise though. "

I am all smile at wala na ko sa upuan ko dahil katulad ng iba ay nakatayo ako sa sobrang tuwa. Napakaswerte ko naman. I am so in love with the man's voice. And now I got to hear it live.

THIS IS SO MUCH FUUUN.

" Fabie- "

" Ssshh mamaya na "

I cant miss this. The bassist starts to strum his guitar and then-

Oh good grief. I can die here for falling in love with the vocalist's voice.

What day is it
and in what month
this clock never seemed so alive
I cant keep up and I cant back down
I've been losing so much time
