We decided to wait for the rain to stop before heading home because we knew it was dangerous to leave while it's still pouring heavily. We had to prioritize our safety and well-being above anything else. We didn't know what things we might encounter along the way that could harm us, especially because we were in the countryside surrounded by trees and mountains.Specifically, we were concerned about fallen electric posts and trees. The rain was so strong that it wasn't impossible for these things to have fallen. If we were to go out and about, we'd be risking our lives, and that's something we didn't want to do. We didn't want to put ourselves in harm's way, so we decided to wait it out.As we waited, we noticed that the rain was getting stronger and stronger. It was a good thing that we had already set up a shelter for ourselves to wait in. We were in a makeshift hut in the middle of a field, so we weren't completely exposed to the elements. However, we were still worried about the p

Before going to my destination, I first passed by Kuya Noel's house to get what he said he would give me. I don't know what he's going to give me, but I admit that I'm excited about the idea of whatever it is, or whatever gift it may be. It's really exciting.I experienced a long walk before I reached the jeepney stop. And then I was surprised to see that the line to ride the jeep was so long. This scene is not new to me because this is always the case during Christmas and New Year when workers here in our place go home, so it's always like this. My only thought was why are they all going home at the same time? They could have gone home later in the afternoon, right?I frowned at the thought because it seems like it will take me a long time again, and waiting is boring. But as the saying goes, patience is a virtue, so just wait, Marra! You will reach your destination eventually!I frowned as I lined up behind the lady in the orange dress. In fairness, she smells good, which is opposit

When Kuya Silva heard that, he offered to give me a ride because it was peak season, meaning that there were many people going home which caused a rush for transportation and traffic. He was right because I was already frowning even though I was already riding a jeepney. I was frowning because of boredom caused by the traffic. I regret not accepting Kuya Silva's offer because it would have been okay to be stuck in traffic if the vehicle didn't have air conditioning, unlike this one which is already hot and my seatmate smells bad.I wonder where that girl was who was beside me earlier? I wish she was my seatmate now. Speaking of the girl, I wonder who owns that motorcycle? It looks very familiar to me. I think I've seen it before.I let out a sigh as I thought about it. Later, I leaned back on the seat and closed my eyes, trying to entertain myself by imagining things to relieve the boredom.After a long journey due to the traffic, I finally reached my destination. I paid before gettin

They say that the new year means a new beginning, a new life, and everything new, and I am hoping that it is true because honestly, I want a change in my life. I am tired, I am so tired of the kind of life that I have. I also want to experience a better life, even just a little!Several days have passed since the new year began, and several days have passed since I cried that night instead of yelling because of happiness. Several days have passed since I have been fighting my anxiety and depression, and I can only say that it really sucks and is hard.It is so hard to fight depression and anxiety because you are your own enemy. Your own feelings are your enemy.Several days have passed, but the pain is still here. Pain because I saw him kissing that sweet-smelling girl, and pain in the feeling of being alone even though grandma is here.I do not know why I feel this way, but maybe it's because ever since grandma became forgetful, she forgets about me. She forgets to ask how I am, to s

I adjusted my bag on my shoulder before resuming my interrupted walk. I was thankful that my walking was now stable, unlike before when I felt like I was about to fall because of my shaking knees."Girl, Sir Carter is really handsome, isn't he?"Those words were the first thing that greeted me when I put down my bag on my seat, which made me groan. I mean, seriously, are we still talking about that? The topic? Isn't there anything else?I'm starting to get annoyed because they keep repeating the same thing over and over again. From the eatery, in the hallway, and now here?! For Pete's sake, they keep repeating what they say. They say that the new psychology professor is handsome and hot.Earlier, while I was walking in the hallway, I overheard the marites whispering about the handsome new Psychology Professor, which irritated and annoyed me.I don't know why I'm acting like this — why I'm getting so annoyed when I shouldn't because they're just whispering. Also, they're not talking ab
