"Much of the stress that people feel doesn't come from having too much to do. It comes from not finishing what they started."

"Andami pang gagawin!" Binagsak ni Margot ang envelope niya.

Nagulat kami ni Hadwin. So nakita niya akong nag-aaral kaya naki-tabl na siya. Ang hangin nga sa part na to eh. Minsan, maamoy usok lang since malapit to sa tambayan ng bawat frat. Pero atleast maiba naman, di puro library.

Si Hadwin, dakilang gaya-gaya at palibhasa laging maaga pumasok, nakakagawian nang sumabay samin. Minsan pa'y tinuturuan ako about sa course niya para ma-review siya. Margot, on the other hand ay malapit lang ang condo at sinabihan ko siya kung nasan kami.

"Tapusin mo na kasi, para wala ka nang gagawin." wika ko.

"Yes, ma'am. Onto it, ma'am." Margot chanted as she opened her laptop.

"Girl, bakit hindi kasama yung short term treasury bills?" She pointed to a problem we're answering.

"Hindi naman indicated kung ang maturity niya ay three months or less. Trading securities 'yan, not cash."

Her mouth widened in shock. "Oh okieee~." She went back and highlighted her book.

"Tengo muchas cosas que hacer!" Margot said in frustration.

"Nagsasalitang alien ka na naman," he teased.

Umirap ito. "Excuse me! Can't you recognize? It's Spanish! Pendejo!"

They always bicker at each other. I guess they always make up for my introvert side. How boring my life would be without them?

At least hindi ako tampulan ng tukso. I can concentrate quietly in the background. Weirdly enough, I can answer my activities with them around. They make everything lighter.

Halos matapos na ako sa ginagawa when Margot was laughing at how passionate Hadwin is with his plants, it's almost crazy. We just discovered that Hadwin is a plantito.

"Hey, c'mon," he defensed. "The more information you have about the food you put into your body, the better your decisions will be, and the better you will feel overall! Nakakamura din ako sa pagkain kasi ako na nagtatanim, duh."

"Taga-Nueva Ecija ako, mga pangluto don binibigay lang. Pakwan, mais, sibuyas, sako-sako 'yun. Dito, bibilhin lahat!" he exasperated.

Margot nodded. "Sabagay, knowledge about food and how it is grown becomes more and more important. It will change the way you eat, the supplements you decide to take, and generally enhance your awareness about what your body needs." The OG who practices a clean diet said. Pag in-english mo, mas lalabas yung englishera na side niya.

Hadwin threw her a look. "I like researching about wellness. Apparently, it is important that our bodies get enough potassium chloride." she explained pa.

Hadwin nodded. "Yep. Potassium chloride is healthy for the blood, organs, and tissues of the body."

"I know. That's why I include green beans, tomatoes, and celery in my diet."

Geez. With friends like this, hahaba talaga ang buhay mo.

It's weird. I enjoyed today's topic. Mas gusto ko yata ang Inventories kaysa Cash and Cash Equivalents. Siguro dahil nakapagbasa ako? Naintindihan ko kasi yung discussion, for once.
