"Hey!" Someone grabs my waist while I am having a great time dancing along with a huge crowd here at my friend’s club.
I looked at the guy and gave him a frown. Lumayo muna ako ng bahagya para maharap ko sya tsaka ko naman sya binigyan ng masamang tingin, "Excuse me?" I raised my left brow.
He smiled at me like a weirdo and said, "Would you mind having fun with me?" he smirked. Ew!
Hinawi ko ang nagbabadya na mga kamay nya bago pa man ito makahawak sa braso ko. "Yes," I smiled a little.
"Well, let’s—" I cut him off.
"I do mind. So, can you please stay away from me while I am still being nice to you?" I gave him a sarcastic smile and rolled my eyes after. Such an irritation!
Tumalikod na ako at hindi ko na lamang hinintay ang kaniyang sagot dahil hindi naman na magbabago ang isip ko at wala akong pakielam sakanya.
Papunta na ako sa mga kaibigan ko ng biglaan nanaman may humapit sa braso ko. This time, it was much more tighter than earlier. Lumingon ako kaagad dahil sa pagkairita. It’s him again!
"Sumama ka sakin. Wala kang magagawa. I want you and I will get what I want!" Mahina ngunit madiin ang pagkakasabi nya sa mga kataga na iyon.
Pumiglas ako sa pagkakahawak nya kahit na hinihila na nya ako palabas ng bar. "I will call the police, you stupid asshole!" Paulit ulit ko lang sya sinasabihan na bitawan nya ako ngunit mistulang walang tenga itong lalaki na ito!
Suddenly a hand of a guy held the other side of me. He was slightly taller than this asshole guy who is forcing me to have fun with him. He suddenly spoke, "Get off her, dude. Ayaw nga sumama sayo, di ba?" Kalmado nyang saad at napalingon naman itong panget na 'to.
Halata sa mukha ng lalaki ang pagkairita. "How dare you tell me what to do, huh? You are nothing but a guy who are hitting with girls here too. Just. like. me."
Napangisi yung lalaking kalmado, napailing na rin sya habang napahawak sa sentido nya. "No, man. You are definitely wrong with that mindset of yours. Bars aren’t beer house or some place where you can get whoever you want. Get off her or I will sue you." His voice is cold.
Sasagot pa sana ang asshole na yun ngunit dumating na ang mga bouncer ng bar. Thank, God!
"Uh—Wait!" Pigil ko sa lalaki na nagligtas sakin from that guy. Lumingon naman sya kaagad. "Thank you. If you didn’t save me from that guy, for sure I am now in danger. Salamat ng marami." I tried to sound more sincere even though my words are sincere enough.
"No problem. Next time, call the bouncer immediately. Marami talagang lalaki ang ganito dito, hindi naman mapipili yun bago pumasok." He smiled at me. We bid our goodbyes and I thanked him again for what he did.
After that incident, nagstay na lamang ako sa table namin magkakaibigan at hindi na ako nagabala pa na sumayaw sa crowd dahil baka meron nanaman kung sino ang lumapit saakin. After an hour or so, napagpasyahan na rin namin na umuwi dahil may pasok pa ako bukas.

I arrived home safely. Tulog na sigurado sila mama dahil alas dose na rin ng gabi. I am not an alcoholic person, it’s just that I want to be stress free even just for a few hours because college life is not easy at all and you really need to have a strong will and long patience.
I freshen up a bit and changed my clothes into an extra large t-shirt and cycling for a more comfortable sleep.
"It was tiring," but at least I get to be with my friends not because of school works but because of gala with them. Just chillin'
Hindi ko na namalayan ay nakatulog na rin ako kaagad.
***
8:12 AM.
My class starts at 9am and here I am still laying in my bed. Preparing for school is such a hard thing to do!
Wala na rin naman akong choice kung hindi bumangon at gumayak para pumasok. Few more years and I will be earning my own money using my own hands and hardwork.
That’s what I think every time na tinatamad ako pumasok. That's my motivation every single day of my college life. The feeling na sarili mo ang inaasahan mo for your needs and wants, masarap sa feeling. And not to mention that I'll have the chance to payback my parents for raising me.
I finished preparing at exactly 8:45am. Hindi naman ako katulad nung ibang mga babae na halos dalawang oras kung gumayak. Mabilis ako kumilos at wala akong arte na makeup dahil hassle lang naman yan at mainit ang panahon but don't get me wrong, I respect those girls who do their make-up because it is a way to increase their self-confidence.
Pumasok na ako kaagad dahil I only have 15 mins at 10 mins lang naman ang kailangan ko upang makarating sa school.

I spent my usual day at school. Nothing special happened dahil wala naman ako masyadong kaclose dito na palagi ko kasama.
Pauwi na ako ngayon dahil wala rin naman ako gustong puntahan at dahil pakiramdam ko’y pagod na pagod ako ay itutulog ko nalang ‘to.
After arriving at home, I immediately prepare for bed. Siguro ay hindi nalang muna ako kakain dahil wala naman akong gana. I decided to waste my time scrolling on my phone when someone suddenly messaged me... huh?
Unknown Number:
Hi. Maybe you cannot even remember me but you forgot something important here at the bar. This is David, by the way.
What? Is this the asshole who is forcing me last time? Where did he get my number? What is the important thing that I forgot at the bar? That pain in the ass!
Great! Now I have to text him back and meet him for that oh-so-important thing that I left. What a life.
