CRISTOFF
Ilang beses akong kumurap para siguraduhin kung totoo ba ang ang naki-kita ko ... And yes! It's all true. It's happening. She's standing right in front of me.
''Oh? Two years tayong hindi nag-kita tapos tititigan mo lang ako?''
Agad naman akong natauhan nang sabihin nya yun. Ano bang nangyayari sakin?
''S-Sorry''
''You didn't changed a bit Cristoff," naka-ngiti niyang sabi at ginulo yung buhok ko. This is so her! Parang biglang bumalik lahat ng nakaraan.
''Wanna grab some coffee? You have a lot of stories to tell me,'' masigla nyang sabi bago kumindat at nag-lakad palayo.
She didn't changed a bit after all these years.
Sumunod nalang din ako sa kanya hanggang makarating kami sa pinaka-malapit na Starbucks.
''Two Latte
CRISTEPHARIE''Sleeping beauty! Wake up!wake up! Wake up !'' Agad akong napa-upo nang sumigaw si Kuya sa tenga ko. Sinamaan ko siya ng tingin habang tawa naman siya ng tawa.''Get ready! Classes will start in 1 hour.'' sabi niya bago lumabas ng kwarto ko. Kinuha ko yung phone ko. Wala man lang text? Abnormal talaga yung unggoy na yun! I hate him! Aish! Ba't ko ba iniisip yun? Ibinato ko sa kama yung cellphone ko bago dumarecho ng Cr para magbihis. Sinuot ko yung uniform ko at black shoes na may konting heels ang shoes of the day ko ngayon. Nag-polbo nalang din ako at nag-lagay lang ng mascara, blush on and lip tint. At syempre, contact lenses. &n
JOSHUA "Oh! That's quite surprising." Ms. Alvarez cleared her throat, "You may sit next to Mr. Tolentino, Ms. Freal." She was smiling from ear to ear as she walked towards me swinging her hips as if she's a model hitting the runway. Bago pa siya tuluyang makalapit sa akin, tumayo na ako para salubungin siya. I grabbed her by the wrist and dragged her with me, out of that classroom. My feet led me to the campus' rooftop. "What the hell was that, Cindy?" I roared, forcefully grabbing her by her wrists. "A-Ar
WARNING:NOT FOR KIDS UNDER 18. might trigger traumas. Read at your own risk. CRISTEPHARIEIt's already 12:28, midnight at kanina pa ko tutok sa laptop ko. Hindi pala ganun kadali ang pag-gawa ng report about South Korea. Na-assign sakin yung history of the three kingdoms yung sa Baekje, Silla at Goryeo. Madaling araw na pero wala pa ko sa kalahati ng Goryeo! Bukas na pa naman irereport to! *beep*From:Becka Cristepharie! Tapos ko na yung part ko :)Naka-hinga naman ako ng maluwag dun. Akala ko ako ang gagawa ng lahat eh.Maitext nga yung iba.To:HaileeHail! How's your report?-------From:
JOSHUAStaring at the wall clock that says it's already twelve midnight, I unlocked my phone expecting a message from Steff. To my disappointment, only Kirvie's disgusting name flashed on the screen. I swiped the message right ignoring it as I went to check on our members. So far, Becka and Hailee already did their parts. I'm done with mine as well. With Steff, well she's a nerd. I'm pretty sure she'll finish hers. The only problematic asshole in our team is that jerk Jack. Alam kong walang matatapos yun, o baka nga wala pang nauumpisahan. Raising my mobile up, I went to call his phone. It took me a few
CRISTEPHARIEI gently opened my eyes as I sat down. Ang sakit ng ulo ko!Unti-Unti kong iminulat ang mata ko tsaka tumingin sa paligid.Nasaan ako? Dahan-dahan akong tumayo bago lumabas ng kwarto.Agad akong naka-langhap ng morning energizer!I mean ang bango kasi! Amoy adobo. Nagutom tuloy ako. Halos makalimutan ko na tuloy na hindi ko alam kung nasaan ako.''Finally awake huh?'' agad na nalaglag ang panga ko nang makita kung sino ang nag-luluto sa Kusina.''J-Joshua?'' Nanlalaki ang mata kong tawag sa pangalan niya.''Don't tell me you didn't remember what happened last night?'' Naka-ngisi niyang tanong.What the hell! Mukang hindi ko gusto to ah!''I don't,'' utal kong sabi. Wag naman sanang gumawa ako ng iskandalo! Jusme! Mamatay ako sa hiya!
CRISTEPHARIE''Man! Don't you know how to smile at mornings? '' bungad ni unggoy pagka-pasok na pagka-pasok ng room. Hindi ko siya pinansin at binuklat lang yung bag ko. Dang! Gagawa pa nga pala ako ng report! Si Jack O' Lantern naman kasi eh.Nagulat nalang ako ng may nalaglag na papel mula sa libro ko. Ilang pirasong bond paper yun na naka-staple.Pinulot ko yun at nanlaki ang mata ko nang mapag-tanto kung ano yun.The History of South Korea's Three KingdomsSubmitted By: Cristepharie I. Tan ''Ano yan?'' Tanong ni Joshua at inagaw yung papel.''Oh? Ang bilis mo naman maka-gawa ng report.'' sabi nya na nagpa-kunot ng noo ko.''H-Hindi ikaw ang gumawa nyan?''''Are you dreaming? Do I look like the type to go do repor
CRISTEPHARIEAfter that incident, dumarecho kami ng clinic. Nadaplisan kasi ng kutsilyo si Pres. Mahirap na baka ako pa masisi. Presidente ang kasama ko! Baka pag may nangyari dito,ospital ang bagsak ko.''May naging ka-galit ka ba?'' Alalang tanong ni Pres. Yun din ang iniisip ko kanina. Si Cindy lang naman ang alam kong may galit sakin eh. Hindi naman siguro siya mababa at isip bata para pasundan at ipa-patay ako?''B-Baka isa sa mga fangirl ni Unggoy.'' Tulala kong sabi.''Unggoy?'' Kunot noo niya namang tanong.''Ah I-I mean si Joshua,'' pag-tatama ko. Omayghash! Nasasanay na kong unggoy ang tawag sa kanya. Sabagay muka naman talaga siyang unggoy naligaw lang sa earth mula sa planet of the apes!''Right. Boyfriend mo nga pala siya,'' agad naman akong napa-tingin kay Pres. What the heck is he saying? Kinikilabutan ako!
CRISTEPHARIE[Now Playing: Become Each other's tears-Hyolyn]''Can I have a second chance? For the last time?''Sandali akong natigilan sa sinabi niya. Aaminin ko, nasasaktan padin ako.Hindi naman ganun kadaling kalimutan siya diba? Alam kong walang 'kami' pero sa maikling panahon, I learned to love him. To like him. Maybe it's not that much pero masakit padin. Tama bang bigyan ko siya ng Second Chance? Is it right if I run back into his arms again?Parang hindi ko na yata kaya. Hindi pa nawawala yung sakit na dinulot niya. Hindi pa.At parang hindi ko na kakayanin kung madadagdagan pa yun. Nasaktan niya ko. At alam kong masasaktan niya padin ako. And I'm scared. I'm scared of being hurt, I'm scared of loving again.''S-Sorry J-James.'' yan nalang ang mga katagang lumabas sa bibig ko.
Halloooo! This will be a short notice. I'm so sorry for not updating the past days. So we just lost our internet connection and when I said lost, we like have 'em completely cut off cause the services has been really bad. We're still waiting for a new provider and I just can't afford paying for mobile data everytime so I'm so sorry. Yet, I will still.be updating everytime I can. I'll try to update as well later once I overcome author's block. I've been going through a lot lately that affects my writing. I hope you understand and still thank you so much for supporting the story. Again, I will still be updating with the best that I can. Constant updates will begin once everything's better. Thank you so much and Have a great day!
NASHThe sunlight gently waving from the curtain gap fetched me from dreamland. I tried to sit up put an extreme pain hammering my head stopped me from doing so.Napa-pikit ako sa sakit habang naka-sabunot sa sarili kong buhok. I'll never drink again, I swear never!"Are you finally awake?" A familiar voice caught my attention.Dahan-dahan kong idinilat ang mata ko. My eyes was still half closed and so I tried my best to recognize the person instead.James was standing right beside my door, a tray held by his hands."Oh, I didn't know you're there." I groaned before trying my best to sit up.Lumapit siya sa akin tsaka siya umupo sa gilid ko. Naglagay din siya ng foldable table sa harap ko tsaka inilagay yung laman ng tray doon.Nagulat nalang ako nang hawakan niya yung noo ko.
CRISTEPHARIEStaring at the school's secret garden bring back memories. Na-realize ko lang na ang dami ko palang naging alaala dito sa mga nakalipas na buwan.Hindi ko maiwasang malungkot habang iniisip na hindi kami katulad ng dati. Everyone has already been minding their own businesses and we rarely see each other already.Also, Joshua is still nowhere to be found. Hindi ko alam kung tama pa ba yung naging desisyon kong pakawalan ng ganun ganun nalang si Axel. I should've just killed him or tried to extract any information from him.The worst of all is... I got mad at Joshua for being a gangster, a ruthless killer but what am I doing?
CRISTEPHARIE"Okay so again, class all you need to do is to write a sample script with a minimum of 30,000 words. Please include the synopsis of your movie and take note that the genre should be under psychological thriller." Professor Alvarez explained while the class doesn't even seem to be listening.Maging ako walang ganang makinig. School doesn't feel right anymore... Mayroong kulang. I took a deep sigh as I stared at that one empty seat inside the class. Miss na miss na kita."Miss mo na no?" Muntik na akong makapasak nang biglang may tumapik sa balikat ko. Paningkitan ko ng mata si Jinn na
CRISTEPHARIE"Blossom Hope?" Ikinunot ko ang noo ko habang pilit hinahalukay ang utak ko. May kyuryosidad sa mga mata din namang tumingin sa akin si Ate Den bago niya isinara yung laptop niya."Familiar ba sayo?"Sandali akong tumahimik habang nag-iisip. Familiar yung pangalan ng lugar pero hindi ko alam kung saan o kailan ko na nga ba yun narinig."Oo pero hindi ko maalala kung saan ko siya narinig."Ate Den took a deep breath before standing up, "Then pumunta nalang tayo doon."Dahil don, kinunutan ko siya ng noo bago ako tumitig sa kanya, "Wouldn't it be dangerous?"Baka mamaya trap pala yun or baka mamaya may naka-abang pala sa amin dun. Or paano kung abandoned place na pala yun? Ang creepy kaya! Wala pa ako dun kinikilabutan na ako."Do you want to save your prince charming or not?" P
NASHAldren isn't joking when he said that Steff is here because right now I can see her right before my eyes. She looks fine, she looks alright and she's the same old Steff that we had before.It's already lunch break kaya napag-pasyahan na naming kumain. Sakto, naabutan nga namin si Steff na kasama si Tasha. "Swaaaaannnnn!" Sigaw ko pa kasabay ng pagtakbo papunta sa kanya at mabilis na pagkapit sa braso niya, "I missed youuuu! Ang tagal nating hindi nagkita."Naiiling niyang ginulo yung buhok ko bago ako sinundot-sundot sa tagiliran, "Ikaw nga yon eh! Isang buwan mahigit yata kayong nawala. Noong una hinihintay ko lang matapos mga gawain niyo para makabalik kayo dito ta
TRIPPToday is the third day. Supposedly that Bloodlust thing they've been talking about will be starting today. However, we still don't have any idea how the event goes.Hindi namin alam kung isa ba iyong gathering na sama-sama kami sa isang arena para tapusin o yung challenges o kung battle royale ba yun na kami-kami din ang target.Wala kaming alam, ni wala kaming kinalaman sa mundong iyon. The mafias, they belong in a whole different world. A world that we never really wanted to enter."You guys will be going back to Taerang today." Tahimik na sambit ni Criston habang nakatutok sa laptop niya. Kasalukuyan kaming nasa dining hall habang nag-uumagahan. For the past three days, all they did was to let us sleep, give us a lot of vitamins and control the food we eat.Aside from that, we've been practicing some fighting skills w
JAMES Ilang ulit akong kumurap para lang siguraduhin kung tama ba yung nakikita ko. Pasimple ko ring kinurot ang sarili ko at sumakit iyon kaya ngayon sigurado na kong hindi nga ako nananaginip. Our former boss, DBG's former boss is standing right before us. Healthy and looking strong matapos ang ilang taong paniniwala namin na patay na siya. Ang daming gumugulo sa isip ko at gusto ko ding itanong sa kanya kung ano nang nangyayari, anong nangyari at anong mangyayari pero tila nawalan ako ng boses at walang salitang gustong lumabas sa bibig ko. "I'm pretty sure you guys have a lot of questions circling inside your mind right now so... I'll try to expla
JAMESA very quiet abandoned building is what lies before us as of the moment. There was no one around, ni mga nakaparadang kotse wala. Kung tititigan ang lugar, ni hindi mo iisiping may mga tao pang nagpupunta dito.It was a building right in the middle of the forest. Mukhang factory na ilang taon nang napabayaan."Sigurado ka bang nasa tamang lugar tayo, Tredd?" Tanong ni Nash kay Tredd na hawak hawak pa yung laptop niya.Tredd glared at Nash before rolling his eyes, "My work is to track down that GPS device na pinapahanap niyo. Malay ko kung nasa tamang lugar tayo basta nandito yung GPS device.""Saan ba
