Staring into the bright lights of the sunset and the chilly breeze of December hitting my 
shoulder and arms, I sighed and for the first time in a few months, felt complete peace. 
Hindi man kumpleto ang lahat ng pinangarap ko sa buhay ko, I at least learned much 
from the past five months of my life. 

Five months turned my life upside down but it also taught me kung sino nga ba ako, 
at kung ano pa ang kaya kong gawin para sa sarili ko. I must've done something good 
in my past life to actually acquire another chance to fix my life that I almost ruined 
because of hasty decisions. Tama sila, I still have a lot of years ahead of me. 
Marami pa kong pwedeng magawa at marami pang pwedeng dumating. 
Maybe everything that happened was for my self-discovery and self-improvement. 

Sabihin nalang nating ganoon nga, mahirap rin ipagtanggol ang sarili, ano. 
I made ridiculous decisions and reckless acts. Pero, I wouldn't be here, 
having these thoughts if it weren't for those five months. 

And like a movie, the past five months flashed in front of my eyes. 
It was like a review of what it feels like being off the edge, with Heath Tolentino.

Engineering students Pfifer and Ivan know that what they have is something special. Without a proper label between them plus an ugly twist of fate, can they manage to be together in the end--or will they remain as each other's TOTGA and nothing more? *** May feelings na laging nandiyan, nakaabang kung kailan magpapapansin. Nakaabang kung kailan ako titisurin sa mga pamilyar na kanta, lugar, at salita. Magpapaalala sa isang mukha na hindi ko naman gano'n kakabisado pero pamilyar. Magpapaalala sa mga dating pakiramdam. Malalaman mo raw kung sino ang The One That Got Away mo kapag narinig mo 'yong salita at nakaalala ka ng iisang tao lang; nakatisod ka ng mga dating pakiramdam; nangulila ka sa mga nakaraang saya; nakaalala ka ng mga pamilyar na sakit. Sabi, time heals wounds at distance makes one forget. Bakit parang hindi naman effective? Bitbit ko pa rin lahat ng what if. Hindi pa rin ako makatakas sa maraming sana. Ako ba ang bumitiw o siya? Tapos na ba kami talaga? Ang sarap magtanong kaso...wala nga palang kami noon. Disclaimer: This story is written in Taglish.
