I opened my eyes.


Napapikit din kaagad ako nung gumuhit yung sakit sa ulo ko. Damn this hangover! I held my head. This is the worst part ever after I drink!


I try to move. Nakapikit at nahihirapan akong sumandal sa sofa. I try to open my eyes again. I saw Hershey and Liezl sleeping on the floor. I saw the two bottles of Black Label that we drink, empty. I frowned. Napapikit ulit ako. Damn hindi ko na maalala kung paano namin naubos yon!


Kinapa ko sa paligid yung cellphone ko.


When I get it I look at the time with my half-opened eyes. "10:30 am," I muttered.


Naramdaman ko nanaman yung pagsakit ng ulo ko. Napangiwi ako. I feel like I can not stand up right now. I held my stomach. Ang sakit din ng tiyan ko. Napaungol ako nang gumuhit ulit yung sakit sa ulo ko. Ambigat ng talukap ng mga mata ko. Slowly I close my eyes.


Hindi ko na namalayang nakatulog nanaman ako dahil sa sobrang sakit ng ulo at katawan ko.



I woke up in my bed. Hindi ko maiangat yung katawan ko. I look at the bed beside me. I saw Hershey and Liezl sleeping on their own bed. Wala na ding kalat sa sahig. Tingin ko sila na din ang naglinis at ang naglagay sa akin dito sa kama ko. I looked at them again. I know them. They just need to eat and sleep then they're already okay. But knowing me...I feel like I will have a fever!


I held my head. Damn it!


Tumunog yung tiyan ko. I need to eat. I'm hungry. Nagugutom na ako.


I try to sit on my bed but I feel so dizzy that I drop again on my bed. I buried my face on my pillow. I feel like crying. My head hurts so much...



I fell asleep again. I woke up when I feel someone tapping my face.


"Autumn wake up," I heard Hershey's voice.


I opened my eyes. I saw them looking worried about me.


Napangiwi ako. My head hurts so bad.


Damn my head! Parang binibiyak yung ulo ko sa sobrang sakit.


Liezl helped me to sit on my bed.


"Sorry Autumn...You have a fever," nagsisising sabi ni Hershey.


Napailing naman ako. It's not their fault.


"Ano ka ba?! Mahina lang talaga ako pagdating sa alak diba?" katwiran ko sa kanila.


Hindi talaga ako sanay uminom. I'm not used to it. Kahit kailan talaga hindi ko nagustuhan at magugustuhan ang paginom ng alak. It's just that I feel so sad last night. I drink to get rid of the pain and sadness but the fucking alcohol just gave me a fever!
