My first month here in the U.S. was dull. I'm always in my dorm if I've got nothing to do at the university. Sometimes I'm painting, but most of the time I'm just staring at nothing.

Jeane was also here, but I'm glad that she's not my roommate. She's living next door, while I, on the other hand, chose to be alone in one room.

Madami syang tanong at palagi akong kinukulit kapag nakikita nya ako sa school pero katulad ng palagi kong ginagawa ay hindi ko sya masyadong pinapansin. Madami na nga syang friend e kasi ang ingay at saya saya nya lagi. Habang ako ay masaya lang sya mundo ko.

Mahirap mag adjust pero tinanim ko sa utak ko na kailangan ko to. Kailangan kong maging maayos at maging matatag kahit na mag isa lang ako.

During those times that I was alone, I invested a lot in my arts. I practiced more day by day until I was given the opportunity to have my own art exhibit after months of going in and out of school and meeting different kinds of people who also appreciate the arts. All the paintings I made were displayed, and the university sponsored everything I needed to promote my work and showcase my talents in the arts. I received my certificate alongside other artists and students like me who were striving to live up to the name they dreamed of having and created on their own.

It's one of the best achievements I've had so far.

A loud knock from my door interrupted my peaceful afternoon. I lazily walk towards it and peek through the peephole.

She's here again..

Binuksan ko ang pinto at bubungangaan na sana sya pero inangat lang nya yung tupperware ng pagkain.

"I made some pasta."

"Jeane——"

"Wag ka na maarte."

Dinuldol nya iyon sa dibdib ko kaya wala akong choice kundi ang hawakan. Lumawak naman ang ngiti nya at sumilip pa sa room ko.

"Busy ka ngayon? Tapos nako sa project natin. Baka gusto mong sumama lumabas mamaya."

"Ayaw ko"

Isasara ko na sana ang pinto pero sinalag nya ang braso nya duon at ngumuso pa.

"Dali na. Wag ka naman kj, hindi ka ba nabuburyo dito? Halos hindi ka na lumabas, ang putla putla——"

"Why are you so loud?"- iritang tanong ko at pinaningkitan sya ng mata.

"I'm loud in bed too."- she said and winked.

I grimaced and pushed her away from the door.

"Puro ka kamanyakan."

Humagalpak sya ng tawa at humarang ulit sa pinto para hindi ko maisara.

"Joke lang naman. Pero gusto mo itry natin? Curious din ako anong itsura mo——"

"Shut up and leave me alone."

Nagtagumpay naman akong maitulak sya at naisarado ko na yung pinto. Napabuga nalang ako ng hangin at napasuklay sa buhok ko.

Ang lakas talaga ng tama nya. Tinignan ko yung hawak kong tupperware at binuksan ito.

I unconsciously smiled after smelling it. It looks delicious. Nagtungo kaagad ako sa maliit na kusina at kumuha ng tinidor. Naupo ako sa bangko at tinaas ang mga paa ko saka ako kumain ng tahimik.

Naubos ko iyon at napa dighay pa nga ako. Masarap pala sya magluto.

Hinugasan ko na yung pinagkainan ko pagkatapos ay kumuha naman ako ng damit at nag tungo na sa banyo para maligo.
