"Tara guys! Sigaw na na'tin, DF CLAN!" natatawang sabi ko kasabay ng pagsigaw naming magbabarkada. 

Agad naman nilang sinindihan ang fireworks display na ipwenesto na'min sa rooftop ng bahay nila Hansè. 

Madilim na ngayon pero dahil sa liwanag na dala ng ilaw na nagsisigandahang fireworks, makikita mo ang ngiti sa labi ng bawat isa sa amin. 

Inilagay ko ang camera sa unahan at dali-daling sinet ang timer nito. 

Bumalik naman ako kaagad sa kanila, at pumwesto katabi nila. Sabay-sabay kaming ngumiti, habang ang iba nag-wacky pa. 

Then, the light flashed our eyes. 

Our very own picture together, hawak-hawak ko ito ngayon habang nakatingin sa kawalan. 

Ang sayang ala-ala nga naman, ang sarap sa pakiramdam. 

'Sana pwede pa 'tong balikan.' 

Huminga ako ng malalim. 

'But that was way back before.' 

Ang samahan na binuo namin, unti-unti itong naglaho.. kasabay ng matinding tensyon sa'ming magkakaibigan. 

Dahil sa isang rule na ginawa ng sarili naming paaralan, sarili kong mga magulang. 

Bakit ginawa ito sa'min? Bakit kami pa ang kailangan magkalas ng ganito? 

How will we survive? How will we fight? Kung kami-kami na ang magkakalaban. 

Babalik pa kaya kami sa dati? Or we'll just end choosing another path, away from each other. 


Forever.

Or.. 

We can break their rules.

Somersault Boys Series #1 Might not. Probably won't. Maybe never. Unlikely. Doubtful. Despite being everything he could have been, Elize constantly settled in the dark, lurking with the impossibles and uncertainties. He believed that he would grow up and take the path of life in a single route with one straight line; no turns, no shortcuts. Perhaps it was because his one and only flesh and blood prompted him to think that if he didn't act like how he was made and how he was supposed to be, he would never reach the light at the end of the tunnel, or never reach his dreams, never be accepted, never be treated seriously...never be loved. The word "Always" was never in Elize's vocabulary-an exception with always doubting, always trying, always...just dreaming. But never the good kind of "Always". Then he tasted it, the bittersweet sensation in his tongue when his mother left him to work abroad. Elize then started to thrive, meet new friends, socialize, be a human...fall in love. For the first time, Elize felt free, felt genuine, felt...guilty? Guilty...was it because he felt glad his mother left, or because he met someone that made him start to feel the Always' in his Nevers? Regardless, he dedicated his whole life in chasing that assurance in his world of doubts, and he simply could not back out now. But when good things come to an end, the choice is yours if you want to let it go, or fight for it. If you choose the latter, make sure to draw blood and fight until you're dead. Just like Elize did.
