"I spend most nights at home falling in love with the idea of you." - Michael Faudet
Warning: A little SPG
Isang linggo yatang ganoon ang setup namin ni Fifth. Tinatapos niya ang trabaho para sa nalalapit na branch opening sa Angeles ng alas syete ng gabi para makapag-usap kami. We talk until nine or ten, bago siya maghahanda para naman pumunta sa Fiasco.
We don't have specific topics, madalas lang naming pag-usapan ang tungkol sa buhay ko. And I've never been open to anyone about my life until him. Somehow, I was comfortable telling him things about me. Except for my dark past of course.
Alam kong da

"Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that." - Martin Luther King Jr. Warning: SPG "I know. I'm in Pampanga now. I will visit there this week." Nakatuon ang mga mata niya sa akin habang may kausap sa phone. He's on a black shorts and he's topless, habang suot ko naman ang parehong bathing suit kanina. Naghahanda na kami sa pagpunta sa pool nang may tumawag sa kaniya kaya naupo muna ako habang pinapanood siya. "I'm busy Karina, I will call you later." Pagkatapos ay ibinaba niya na iyon at naglakad na palapit sa akin.

"When emerging from humble beginnings, those around you tend to underestimate your authenticity because they knew you before you were 'somebody'." - Criss Jami, Killosophy Like what Fifth said, he stayed in the mansion with me. It has been three days and it's the weekend. Ang sabi niya sa akin kagabi ay bibisita siya sa branch sa Angeles ngayon para tignan pa kung anong kailangan ayusin bago ang opening next weekend. And he's been bugging me since last night to come with him. Nakahiga kami pareho sa kama mula pa kanina pagkagising. It's now ten in the morning, hindi pa kami bumabangon para mag-almusal. "I'm hungry.." I said.

"Life keeps throwing me stones.And I keep finding the diamonds." - Ana Claudia Antunes Hindi ko alam kung anong gagawin ko. Kung si Ryan ang nasa likod ng ideya ng teddy bear, hindi malabong matunton siya ng mga tauhan ni Fifth. At sa oras na makilala siya ni Fifth, I'm sure he'll know how he's related to me. I can't let that happen. Hindi ko alam kung kailan ang tamang panahon para malaman niya ang tungkol sa rape case ko pero alam kong hindi pa ngayon, hindi pa ako handa, hindi ko pa kayang sabihin sa kaniya. So I should act now. Kailangan ko siyang maunahan kay Ryan. I'm pretty sure he's the one behind the idea of that teddy bear, but what should I do once I find out about it?

"The only way to find true happiness is to risk being completely cut open." - Chuck Palahniuk, Invisible Monsters Warning: SPG Nagpalakpakan ang mga tao matapos gupitin ni Fifth ang pulang ribbon para sa pagbubukas ng Fiasco. I watched him happily accepting handshake from his visitors. Everyone looks happy. Marami ang bisita at halos kakilala niya. From a few businessman, supermodels, mga artista at ilan pang hindi naman pamilyar sa akin ang mukha ay naroon. And ofcourse, mawawala ba ang media? "Ate pasok na tayo. Wag mo nang hintayin si Kuya,

"I think our love can do anything we want it to." - The NotebookHalos hindi ako makatingin sa mga tao habang hawak ni Fifth ang kamay ko at nakikipag-usap. Pakiramdam ko alam nila ang nangyari kanina at hiyang-hiya ako. Halos hindi ko siya matignan nang natapos iyon.I saw the petite girl he's talking to, looking at me from head to toe. I have much more mature features than her but I don't know why I'm thinking that they are all better than me. Oo, sa pisikal na kaanyuan ay lamang ako, I am aware of that. But deep inside me, I always have this insecurity, that virgins are always better, that people look up to them, na sila ang laging pipiliin.Pinisil ni Fifth

"Broken hearts can live again. Delayed dreams can dream again. Anxious minds can find peace again. Some endings are beginning"."It was a lie, I lied about everything I said. Nicaseane didn't use me, I attempted to harass her. I was.. very attracted, I couldn't wait for her to like me.."I covered my mouth with my palm as tears started rolling down my eyes.I was right, Fifth was talking about him on that phone call. And this is what he said that he wants, Mr. Henson admitting to the public about the truth."Are you saying you.. attempted rape, Mr. Henson?"The silence of everyone in that press conference turned into

"The most painful moments and memories eventually lead to the greatest strengths and growth in life." - Kemi Sogunle"Are you done? Susunduin na kita diyan, overtime kana."I rolled my eyes. Tinanggal ko muna ang hard hat at ibinigay sa naghihintay na lalaki. I murmured my thanks before going back to the site office."Where are you? If you're just near the site then you can pick me up. Pero kung nasa condo ka, magpapa-drop nalang ako kay Engineer Eros.""Dinala ka nanaman niya sa site?""Yes, I'm recreating the AutoCAD drawings so I really have to check the s

"Your trauma is not your fault, but your healing is your responsibility.""I really can't make it, I'm sorry Coleen.." I sighed.She pouted even more. I shot her an apologetic look.It's her eighteenth birthday tomorrow and it will be grand of course. But I can't make it. Una, dahil sa OJT ko. Pangalawa, dahil ayaw ko talagang umuwi at makita si Fifth.I know it looks selfish, Coleen didn't stop convincing me since the preparation started. Alam niyang iniiwasan kong magtagpo kami ng kuya niya kaya naisip pa niyang huwag padaluhin sa celebration si Fifth, which I find ridiculous. Tinanggihan ko pa rin siya.
