In the End

Earthquake begins, and the ground cracks and falls deeper. The world is drowning in water and is about to take on the rumours of "New world order". Only few places on earth can people be saved, and we happened to be near the mountains, to one of its hidden highest step pyramid in Asia. The temple split and while the rest of the earth was falling, a circular dome rose up and appeared in between the pyramid like it was purposely built to rise from the ground. We climbed towards the top of the roof of the mechanically-formed dome. While we were climbing to the top of the temple, the water on earth started rising up, to a point where only few places on earth will be left visible.

                While the pointed dome was still mechanically rising from under the earth upward, we soon found out that it was built by the ancient Chinese to come out at the end of time to save a few people chosen to live and start-a-new: to keep the population and represent the balance of life on earth.

                Then, from the ground, one by one, black aliens that are predators appeared from the ground seemingly disturbed by the rise of water. We soon found out that aliens have arrived on earth long before, and have been hiding underground to sweep humans on earth as written on the holy scripture in the end of times. This is why there were alien sightseeing happening all around the world. Only a few chosen people and those who have escaped from the aliens may live after the rest of the human race has transferred and lived in Mars.

                The aliens started eating the people they touch, and after the dome rose up four levels from the ground, the water seemed to rise up slower, prolonging the massacre, until we found out that the way not to be killed is not to move or even breathe deeply. We noticed a circular cage hanging at the center of the dome. It happened that I was the one nearest to it so the people said I should jump on it quickly, or not one of us might ever live again. So I jumped quickly, resting my whole body flat on the cage while it dangled side by side.

                As i was in the centre of the pyramid and unreachable, safe but not able to do anything to help them, I reached out on my pocket and tried to find anything that can help us and found coins. I took one and gripped on it watching what was happening. When I saw another man being eaten on the third floor, almost in front of me, I got mad that tried throwing the coin I was gripping, but I missed because of my emotions. It bounced instead on the wall of the second floor with a loud tingling sound, then to the water below the first floor. An alien, about to bash a man stopped as it appeared to be distracted by the sound.

It tried to find where the sound was from, so I threw in more coins from my pocket at different directions towards the lower grounds where no man were left, and all the aliens got distracted by the sound and moved so fast towards the coins, we found out that they were configured to be distracted by coins and were very fond of it, so I threw in more that was left towards the water. And all of them dived in, then the water continued to rise again. It was all appeared to be like a puzzle.

                When there were only two levels of floor left near the tip of the dome. The men were alarmed that the water might rise up higher. Then they saw that there was a higher position than where I was, so they climbed up higher through the stairs to the top of the building, and told me to come up and be the one to jump there first.

                Feeling secured and scared to jump out of my place, I rejected their offer, and complained, “why should I move from my place when you said it was the safest place!?!” They said it was not and that they were wrong. “The tip of the dome was the safest” So, like having no choice, I jumped out of the hanging cage before the water rose higher than where I am. I climbed the cracked building to the top of the dome. The tip seems to be a large plate-like structure balancing on the tip of the dome itself.

So I hopped in but had a hard time balancing myself. We thought of a theoretical way to balance ourselves on the plate, and came up with one. I told them that the women hop in first, run and quickly hug the centre, pressing weight on the centre. Then the men next, one by one, evenly distributed at the edge part of the circle as they hop on the plate.

Then, the water stopped rising.

UP Chemix Ghost: Lost in the Loop

My name is KD. I studied in UP and was in Diliman on March 27. I was doing well with an old friend who introduced me the band, Coheed and Cambria, the band that made me act and cry like an emotional loser. We were in good terms this time, until ghosts who died by a plague in a chemistry lab explosion appeared in the campus at the same night we were there. With other spirits, the ghosts are roaming all around the campus. I, my friend, and an old friend, all from UST, got alarmed and scared at this. We tried to sneak out of the university after hearing this at the same night that we were in the day of the tragic event. 

                                        - play this while reading

We hailed an 'Ikot' jeep, but on the way out, we got lost with other students. Panicking, we, the other students, and the driver, feared we were having illusions and were being played by the spirits. And as the jeep continued, a student in a dark spot hailed our jeep. She looked so stressed by the way she looked with deep eye-bags. We didn't know she was dead though she acted creepily slow. She hailed the jeep outside the chemistry buildings vicinity that’s why we let her in. As we continue, the veteran driver stopped and asked who among us knows how to drive, and memorizes the way. I raised my hands quickly, thinking if I do, others will have courage to do so. Then, another student also raised his hand. Others raised theirs too, but my friend, Lilli, pulled me back and told me I don't even have a license yet, sounding like my sister. So the driver asked another guy to drive us, while he kept watch. 

While we continue with this situation, one emo fine art student with dark eye shades slowly told the story to everyone about the chemistry students who died from the chemistry lab explosion, and made drivers lose their senses once they inhale the chemical gas from their dead bodies during night time. While identifying who the students were, the female student who just rode in said she was one of the students of that professor, which the emo girl mentioned. While we were driving, the emo’ girl also added the chemistry building wasn't the only one affected but everyone and everything surrounding the building. The creepy student mentioned who just rode in said, "I had a great experience in that lab..." and mentioned "He was great professor" while gas was running out of her body. Everyone, got shocked and screamed at the sight of the melting student! We scrammed out of the jeep while covering our noses before the ghost could realizes she was already dead! 

The three of us tried to scoot out of the campus as we were feeling the other spirits disturbed and come to life at distant areas. We walked quickly in the long path where jeeps were available, but we always end up back in front of our own college building. I texted my father about the situation, and he said to walk slowly not to disturb the spirits. So, following the instruction, we went the shorter way which was nearer but darker and had lesser chance of getting available transport. My friends suggested we could get a taxi or walk it out completely once in the main entrance the important thing is we get out before midnight. So we walked very slowly the shorter way, and when we arrived near the entrance, still afraid and shaking, I saw 'kuya' (brother) Resty, my father’s driver, all geared up at the back of the driver’s seat holding on a second steering wheel of the Expedition. I ran towards the car and he said "Hop on, quick!" I called on to my friends, but untold and not knowing who he was, they declined. I felt like the spirits heard us by the sound of the engine, so I hurried. I called them, but I got no response from them, like they were lifeless, with a still, doubting face staring at space. Kuya Resty, trying not to worry me, said, "Hurry, let's leave. It looks like they're going to do something else." So I hopped in, and asked, "What might it be?" Wittingly, he said, "A date" I paused for a while. Then he asked "You know the way out?" I said, "Yes" So we broomed out. Kuya drove so fast out of the campus up to the highway, and I noticed the ghost weren't just in the university, but outside, along the highways, as well. 

We felt the negativity of the spirits on the highway. I saw a ghost centaur, and tried to look closely, hoping it is not what I think it is, but kuya Resty said not to look at it or else we’ll get its attention, but it was too late. It's exactly what happened. The ghost kept chasing us. Kuya Resty said it will leave us after we got out of its territory, but after getting past its base’s sight, it still was following us, like it was challenged by our unusual speed. Once it reaches us, we kept dying like we were in a game, and we keep respawning back to where we first saw the centaur. Having the same Idea, kuya Resty asked me if I still played the game "Defense of the Ancients" I said yes as i was once addicted to it, but not anymore. I said, "I still remember the names though" He said, “Good. cause' were going to need it.” It felt like we were in a movie. On the way, there were many ghost, and the mad centaur, who looked like Lesh'rac--Incase you don’t know it, it's a centaur ghost that whips with a vine plant and can cause earthquakes when it stomps its feet on the ground in rage. It was chasing us, gesturing it was his territory. But we can’t fight back if we’ll only make it mad, so kuya Resty asked me if I know how to counter it off to kill it, like he has something under his sleeves, but I said no. I only said I know the names but I don't know how what kills it. So, desperately, I closed my eyes very well, and prayed the Lord's Prayer, and the centaur left us after leaving his territory. And Kuya Resty drove off even faster. He drove so fast that he was driving like he was in a motor race video game; the car was wiggling and almost touching the side rails. It was so fast that the road and lights seemed like it was all lines animating.

Then we caught the attention of a mad witch catching up to our windows. This time, it had real flesh. This was what kuya Resty was avoiding with his speed as he encountered it on the way to fetch me. Our speed didn't matter to the witch though, because the more i fear it, the more she believes in her power. It caught up to our window laughing loudly in a high pitch tone. It tried to slip its hand with its long brown skinny fingers and pointy fingernails through the car door to open the lock. 
Completely scared and shocked, I gathered all my courage, grabbed its hand, and kuya Resty told me to squeeze it, though it didn't have an effect. I prayed The Lord's Prayer again, though it seemed not to affect her, and she kept on laughing out madly loud. Then I added Hail Mary, and tried to complete the rosary until I woke up to the Third luminous mystery, terrified in my dark room. I tried sleeping again to save us, but a fat, around 8 year old kid, pitch black, like a shadow, was riding on top of me, grinding its wiener on my butt while giggling.

               -I hear this the second time I'm editing this blog. It's beautiful.

Empire’s Power

Keith was playing with his former classmates reminiscing their times back in school, when suddenly, his friends get caught in a prison for desiring the gold below a crack on the ground near a prison encampment. Keith found out that their first intention to get on to it was for survival, because, as Keith found out after coming out of his house for a long time, the earth had been invaded by viral aliens slowly turning their planet into theirs to suite their own style of living.

He learned that his friends were losing the battle since the non-robotic heroes fade away to attack the invaders planet itself, and leaving to them the robots for safety of the Earth.

Keith saw that his friends have been battling the aliens with their own abilities: turning themselves into robots, Jet planes, tanks, and cars for stealth.

He suddenly realizes that he can also turn mobiles into a yellow robot, jet bomber, and tank. He used the jet often to bomb the aliens faster, though he died often.

He saw his mates not using the jets often and using the tanks and robots, but in slower cheap shots tactic instead. So he told his friends to use their jets instead to disable the aliens faster, but when they did so, only Keith was able to perform the flight attack well as his friends seem not to like finishing it fast.

So, he told them to use whatever they are comfortable with. And all his dead jets came back to life when he called them, more than ten of them. They pushed an attack, but a lady from the encampment had already planned a counter for the jets well, because she knew Keith could only control all of them if they are within his sight. The lady trapped the other jets Keith used and died from inside buildings where he went in through large elevators, after Keith was told to rescue a woman hostage. The rescue was apparently planned by the lady.

While his friends got caught, they were disabled from using their powers. Keith accidentally got inside of the prison and temporarily lost some of his power. He saw gold reserves between the cracked grounds. His friends saw him and told him to take some gold so he took a lump to see if it is really gold, then they told him they need the gold to buy them out of imprisonment even though it was only a challenge to them by the prisoner, and they were not sure if they will really be released. His friends told him it's almost impossible to get out of the empire.

At night, he and his friends found out that he is able to walk on the grounded barb wires, unharmed by the electric current, out of the prison. So his friends planned an escape: distracting the guards with sparring shows.

At first, they planned for an escape, but Keith told them how intelligent the enemies were and they could counter a movement the second time it is seen.

So they made a spontaneous escape plan for Keith during the battle show, and Keith acted on impulse stepping, hopping and jumping walls after walls, and wires over wires. Almost escaping the place, Keith noticed that the electric current on the wires get weaker and weaker the longer its distance from the centre of the circular empire. But just when he was a wall or two outside the territory, he saw a lady appearing in a gigantic holographic video from the centre of the palace. It was a palace from India under a floating Alien ship. She was clapping her hands, congratulating him for making it that far.  

Every human on earth saw what happened on television, and were angered by what the lady was saying about conquering their planet. The lady announced that within three months, all creatures on earth will bow down to these aliens whether they like it or not.

This angered the people more, and although they knew they had no fighting chance against the empire, they planned a coup with all artilleries they have:  from tanks to pistols, and ballista to laser guns. They planned an attack called, World Unite.

When the alien race saw what was happening, they trembled and planned to annihilate them once and for all by dropping a bomb from space, floating within the satellites.

Keith and his companies learned what was happening outside. They planned to stop everyone because they knew the people’s weapons have no chance against the aliens’.

Meanwhile, inside the prison, while planning for an attack, two blue guys appeared through teleport. Nightcrawler and Beast, sneaked inside the prison to save Keith and his friends. He told Keith and his friends that he found out what was happening so he was sent there by superman to teleport. He told them he could bring them inside the floating base to find out what the aliens where planning.

Although in doubt of his blue skin colour they put their hands on his shoulder and they teleported inside the gigantic floating ship. While they were at the back of the ship, they were telling each other to decide who should look out for the aliens. Keith kept calling them and Nightcrawler saw he was in serious business so he called everyone. Considering they can use this time to recuperate and gain their powers, they went to what Keith was showing them.

Keith showed them he found something, which looks like a computer. While they were figuring out what was on the terminal, Beast took in-charge saying he can quite understand this technology because it was copied from his universe’s earth.  After a few hand gestures, he found out that the aliens were planning to destroy Earth once they get all the resources they need. “They have a satellite capable of putting a whole through Earth” He said, “Aside from that, there are more than a hundred ships floating near the atmosphere.”

Once activated, the computer sent a signal to the system, and alarmed the aliens. Beast said he can use this beam against all the alien ships floating in the space as well as the mothership at the top of the palace, but upon saying this, one by one, the guards appeared and raised fire on them. They all hid, and once they regained their powers, they fired back, while Beast was hacking the terminal and readjusting the power and target of the beam.

While in action, everyone was watching what was happening inside. Until they only have 2 minutes to leave the ship before the beam destroys their ship. Although Nightcrawler said he can only transport one person at a time with his current stamina, they still continued on doing their Job. When there was only 10 seconds left, Beast was finally able to redirect the beam. Meanwhile, Nightcrawler was transporting them one by one far from the ship. Until there’s only three of them left: Beast, Nightcrawler, and Keith.

"3.."

"2.."

"1"

The ship exploded.

The people saw the massive mushroom-like explosion in the air. They were waiting for the heroes to appear.

Then, a hologram appeared at the centre.

“We are alive,”

Everyone shouted and cheered up! The people were watching from the gigantic hologram. It appears that the lady who sabotaged them were a double agent who can shapeshift, Mystique, who disguised like the enemy in order to get an inside view of the ship for Nightcrawler to use.

“but there’s still something left to do.”

Keith knew that there were still ships above their atmosphere, who are getting ready to revenge their mothership. He can feel it with his new found ability and natural instincts which he gained from teleporting with Nightcrawler.

His body dissipated and created a forcefield around Earth, which the ships cannot go through. Everyone was astonished by the sight, although, the alien ships were not backing yet, until Keith filled the outersphere with fire, where it looked like the earth was burning outside, but is shielded by Keith’s forcefield inside.

The aliens didn’t want to back out, until Zoran the Sun god, came and said he will blow the entire solarsystem if they do not leave.

This time one by one, the aliens left. Although the heroes know they do not have a home to go back to.

Night crawler asked, “When can we see them again, as for now they don’t have a planet to live in”

Beast replied, “We will know,”

“when the stars make love to the universe”

Entrepreneurship

I dreamed of a dead lady trying to have sex with me. She looked like Abigail, but i knew she was someone else trying to copy her. i held her private part, but was holding back on having intercourse with her. there was temptation, but i knew she was there to get me. I held her closer to me to feel her body parts, looking for identification in case i wake up because i can't move my body even if my soul tries to.
I only was able to feel a hole on her back like she was pierced with half an inch material. She was telling me there was no other way now. I was thinking what she was talking about, and i thought it may be about my job. leading me to think what was lacking in me that i became tardy with my work. So while thinking deeply, i said in my dream "Philippines gets jobs from america, get paid, and buys product from other countries that support business in america" Something like that.

That was the one that was lacking in me. that knowledge of clarity.

While I said these, She slowly disappeared as i tried to talk and say that line while i wake up so that i would remember what happened in my dream.


When I woke up, I went down and watched the t.v. news on cnbc channel, "the world's leading business channel" and saw a discussion about using social network as an integral part of business. i opened my facebook account and saw my former colleague from Stream Global, Jenna May SanFelipe Loreto. Her status was about complaining why she woke up exactly 4:00 am in the morning and a question "What's wrong?" I commented "same" and she said "And So?"

I told her everything i know. and what happened to my dream. She told me to go to sleep quickly or else i will be hunted by the "ghost", as i first said to her, forever. I went back to bed, then I doubted if she is serious or if she's telling a joke because there was a smiley face after the message. I went back to the computer and asked her if it was a joke. she told me "Piece of advice King," something like, "go to bed before you ruin my morning."
I searched her last name's meaning, and 'Lore' means "to learn." I saw on t.v a discussion if entrepreneurship should be taught in shools. then i Searched for what patron saint is she studying at, which was La Salle. The patron saint of teachers. I remembered back in college when my father complained and reasoned out that i should be a teacher, and I thought if i am to be a teacher i would choose to teach entrepreneurship. so that i would learn myself how to start entrepreneurship.

Now, I am going to search for the 50 states of america's origin and etymologies in order to relate my job as a call center agent, catering products to different states.

I have formulated out of my dream that the 50 states of america governs 50 countries around the world, respectively i am about to search which state is for which country, and that in order to make the money cycle on our part, Philippines must buy products from the certain countries those state represent. Philippines get the job and money; money is used to buy asian or european products; europe and other asian countries gain money; europe and other asians use money to trade and create business with america, which america gives us the job, and the cycle goes on.

In order to balance the cycle of money, we must find which country is for the certain state, and which state is booming too much than the other state.

Let's say in Philippine basketball, if POWERADE is winning too much and its sponsors are gaining economic boom, while BMEG is always behind and its sponsors do not get much attention and market, there will be imbalance and harsh market competition. Healthy competition is always the best competition.

So getting back to the main point. If a customer from Ohio, which represents a country, gets too much free phone subsidized by the government, repeatedly calls in and tells his other friends you can get a free phone when you call this "lifeline service" company. Customers from Ohio WILL get too much free phone, and the government doesn't want that. Because he will be questioned for his fairness. Like here in the Philippines, the rich get richer the poor get poorer. True, "There will never be equality. Only equilibrium" as my high school teacher said in economics, but in order to sustain that equilibrium, there will always be a sense of equanimity, which roots to fairness.

If The three magnates, Lucio Tan, Yu Cheng Co, and Henry Sy gets all the customers, what about the small fry who wants to start his own business?

That's where the government comes in. What can the government do in order to give chance to the small business owners who wants to gain more customers? Where do the commercial tax go to? Should we implement a subsidiary for small business owners?

That's the next step after "Kumikitang Kabuhayan" t.v. show which teaches filipinos to start up their business.


So, on with the customers from Ohio. If Ohio receive more favor than the other states, the other states will hear about it and complain about not having the same privelege as Ohio.

So the next time we try to give out free phone to Ohio, choose to have their old phone repaired instead. (the shipping company will benefit from it! You know how important Transport is with Trade)

America has a way of keeping equality within their country. The next time we try to give free service and products to our customers over the phone, we can also watch the news and learn which state is in need in the stock market.

A Blog Will Kill You

A blog will kill you

While you are alive,

Taking time off your day

Just to write your insights.

But what would I do,

If this is my way

To remember the things

I feel in a day.

In the middle of the day,

I remember someone

Her name is Gail

She was a brilliant one.

In the middle of the day

I hear her voice through mine

I remember her always

And now that it is Valentines.

Bitter sweet the melody

The song that she wrote

It is my pleasure

if it is towards me that she quote

I want to thank her

For being with me,

For all the good times.

I feel bad i set her free.

Though good times passed

I know it will last.

Till' the day I see you.

Forever will it last.

Can't Say I Love You Lyrics 

Nina Hey baby, we just met  

I have him  You have her  

If we fall for each other  

Would it be unfair  

Loving one another this way  

You see  I love him so much  

And you love her too  

But baby when i met you  

I felt love so true  

Can't say that i love you  

But i do  

Can't say that i miss you  

Though it's true  

Sometimes i feel i wanna kiss you  

And hold you in my arms so tight  

But all I can do is stop myself  

From loving you  

If only i have met you before  

When no one else was knockin` on my door  

I'll let you in to my heart  

When maybe that's the start  

Of a promise that we'll never be apart  

But if you and Me  

Are not meant to be  

Lets just set each other free  

Let it be  

And if you and me together  

Means forever  

Then lets take the chance  

And build this romance  

But if lovin` each other  

Would only mean never  

Let fate bring us back to our lovers  

Who promised us Forever

A Friend of Mine

I have a friend her name is Ann.
I saw her one day she had a sickness at hand.
 She had a sickness like mine
A sickness of the mind,
 She is bipolar, while i am schizophrenic
I have a split mind, while sometimes she is manic.
 The last day of exams at work she had to go home last.
I stayed and waited for her and she said she didn't pass.
 We walked down the hall to go outside,
while she was swaying my way
She said she wants to go to U.P.
and lie in Sunken Garden all day.
 I said let's go, There's no harm in trying.
Deep inside I felt that might be exciting.
 We went and lied there
Almost for a whole while
she told me stories of her life's wiles
 I said let's go to Sogo
she said she don't know
We talked a little
and then went for a go.

Spiritual Love

One morning, on September 2, 2011, I woke up to go and prepare for my class in UP Diliman I had a class in sociology so I went straight to class and listened to the lecture which was about women’s right from being physically abused, sexually abused, prostituted, incested by brother, and being left behind. I kept yawning at the report. I went to my college library to leave my bag and then peeked in my classroom where I saw that I had no class for my next subject. I checked my schedule and saw that I needed a copy for my readings in my other class so I went to the College of Arts and Science where the copies are. While riding I was thinking about joining the UP fraternity. When I arrived I strolled around and followed the lighter path. I was also looking at the signs on the walls while walking and ended up pressing a light switch three times. I went near where the light bulb was and saw a sign saying “tara bible study tayo.” I looked up the stairs and saw three men with bowed down heads formed in a triangle. The three men were praying while holding their knees, Indian sitting on the floor. The guy in white asked me “Yes? Can we help you?” I said “Hi,” and he answered back, “Hello! can we help you?” I said, “Uhh, can I Join you?” “Sure, we’lI finish our prayers first. Ok?” I said, “Ok” and stood for a while and then asked them, “Should I stay here, or sit there?” pointing at my back. He said, “You can sit with us for a while, but let us finish our prayers first, ok?” I said, “Of course” and then I sat down and waited for them to finish their prayer. They were praying for the guy in my right, Mike, who, according to them, was troubled. After finishing their prayer the guy in white asked me, “So! What brought you here? Uhh, what is your name again?” I said “Uhh, David. Ay! Uh, o cge, King! King.” They seem to be puzzled and said, “Huh?” I said, “O cge, King David.” He said, “Ahh, si King David pala to e!” I said, “Huh? Bakit!?” He said “So King David, what brings you here?” I stopped for a while and then replied “Er, I was just strolling around” and looked at him. “Mhmm, So what brought you here? … Coz you seem to be a very spiritual guy” I stopped again, and then answered “naglalakad lang ako e,” He said they were a non threatening organization. I asked, “What is the name of your organization” he looked at his friends and said, “Still waters,” and then I remembered my friend, Ivy, who mentioned to me that she is a member of still waters. I said, “Ahh, si Ivy!” and then we talked about Ivy. They also mentioned Ivy was always with a certain guy. I asked for the name of the person I am talking with, but I cannot remember his name, though he introduced me to Christian, a guy in green with a dollar sign on his shirt, and Mike who wears a gray shirt. He asked me what religious group I was in. I said “Marami eh!” I said, “I’m a catholic, I am also a born again, and jesuit” He said “Jesuit? Di ba sa Ateneo yun?” I said I was a member of Knights of Columbus. He asked me if I was one of those Unification Methodists. I said I don’t know about that. He said, “So what can we do for you?” I said, “Uhh,” and cannot reply so he said “Coz, you seem to be a very spiritual guy.” I asked him, “Umm. Should we pray?” he said, “Sure,” “So what do you want to pray about?” I leaned backward and rested my hands on the floor. I said “Mmm. I don't know…” He said “Do you have any problems..?” I repeated, “Do I have any problems...” and then looked around. I saw the sign “tara bible study tayo.” and another sign “Stronger” then, I remembered my father. I said “uh, I want to pray for my father” he said “Why!? What happened to your father?” I remembered my father’s sickness. I said “He has prostrate… He’s sick. But the doctor says he’s good now… at least the doctor says.” We prayed on my lead, I prayed for my father and asked for help in our trials. After some more conversation; I took Mike’s number and fared well. That’s when I met Abigail Santos.
I strolled around some more and went to the museum of the university and saw a coffee shop. I chose between “kape amerikano” and cappuccino, asked for kape amerikano, but chose cappuccino instead. After I drank my coffee I rode a jeep.
I saw Abigail hailing the jeepney I was riding in UP Diliman. She was sober with liquor, and I just came from a prayer meeting. The first thing that came to my mind was to help her because she seemed out of balance. I glanced at her, and then she smiled back at me and blushed. The kind of smile that was cheerful yet shy. We both dropped off at the check point of UP where I also had a class and the jeepney will not pass. I asked her if she’s ok, but she cannot answer promptly and was swaying a little. I remembered the prayer we had where I asked for help in our trials and thought this was the test. That moment, I thought I needed to help her. We were standing at the check point. She cannot stand steadily. She said “Nasaan na tayo?” we had other conversations that was fast and as we talk more, the more we also understand each other. I asked her if she can carry herself but she cannot answer straightly. I thought of bringing her to her house but she can’t answer me where she lives. We sat down for a moment in the bench of the waiting shed. While waiting for a transport she said “Sorry ha. Sige, iwan mo na lang ako dito,” but I don’t wanna leave her in that condition. I told her “Hindi pwede!” When she thought it was taking too long to hail a transport she kept telling me “Sorry ha! babawi na lang ako sayo bukas.” We made sure we were going home but while in the car, in the middle of our travel, I heard this song from the radio:



I thought she was the one, and there was no other chance - that if i bring her home, my family would not agree of her - so I pictured eurotel as a second option. On going to eurotel, we stayed there and saw an old man with his friends. The old man tried to go out, but before he was able to open the door I said, “Lika na” and we went out to go home and make her stay in my house where she can rest for a while. I hailed a taxi cab, and when we arrived home I saw my nephew and called him, “Prince!” but he kept looking down and did not answer. We went upstairs, and I brought her to my room laid her on the bed and then washed her feet. She said she felt so cold so I took my blanket but decided that I wanted to hug her. I put my hand around her, and as I pat her I decided to get a comforter but she asked me, “Bakla ka ba?” I said, “Huh? Hinde.” She giggled, “Bakla ka yata eh!” Sabi ko “Bakit?” Then, I kissed her. While we were kissing, she paused and then asked me why I was kissing her. I told her I don’t know, and then I paused. She asked if I do this often. I said no. I told her I was a virgin downstairs, and then thought for a while and I asked her if I was a virgin. Then she laughed and said I don’t know about you. I told her to change her shirt and then she agreed. I was suppose to give her the buttweiser shirt, but I gave her the American shirt instead, then I kissed her again and we loved each other.

This is an oath for Abigail Santos.
