Quote for this chap : At the innermost core of all loneliness is a deep and powerful yearning for union with one's lost self.
Overview : wala na talaga akong malagay sa overview ah! so ang mssbe ko lang, basahin niyo na lang pra malaman. XD Something's nice and something.. a little crash and bam!

“Yeah, Lola. I’m on my way .. Is Isaac with you? I bought his fave, Krispy Kreme. Papunta na ako. Yeah, Im on taft na.. See you in about a minute or two”
Excited? Yes, to say the very least.. I am pretty much excited tonight not only because Tonight’s gonna be my engagement party but also because my Lola just came all the way from Mactan, Cebu to Makati for the one-time moment of my life
Im very much excited that the smile on my face can’t event torment how happy I am right now. I met Iñigo’s Dad, Sir Dante Attonio Bustamante, Jr, last night and alongside with Kuya Chris, Iñigo’s older brother who came all the way from Barcelona, Spain to Makati.
Iñigo’s Dad was quite scary at first, the way he talks and the way he holds on to his wine glass defines how superior he is but the moment when he cracked up a joke, I can’t believe na parang normal na tao lang din pala siya.
I’ve seen him on Forbes magazine before and ‘di pa rin ako makapaniwalang magiging in law ko na siya soon. Imagine?
Nakakaintimidate din yung asawa ni Kuya Chris, super tall and so pretty. Napaka Hispanic ang beauty pero pure pinoy pala and she showed me a painting, sabi niya hindi pa daw yun tapos pero ang ganda ganda na sabe niya din, i-re-regalo niya daw yun tonight sa engagement
There was a clever use of the rule of thirds and also a blatant use of complementary colors. It’s not an emotionless piece of art
The way she drew the perfect shape of almond and pag nakatitig ka dito yung tipong parang so much emotions and nag me-merge right before you .. ganon nga siya kagaling
At ngayon yung excitement, may halong kaba na .. kasi makikilala ko na lahat mamaya sa engagement party. Hindi lang mga Bustamante cuz Tito Dante mentioned about his kompares and business partners would come as well
Iniisip ko pa lang lahat ng yun, nai-ihi na ako
Biglang nag ring na naman ang phone ko, It was inside my Black Suade Celine hand bag lying on the front seat, So when I reach for it, suddenly my engagement ring fell from my left ring finger and emitted a metallic rumbling as it twirls around the bottom
Konti na lang.. abot ko na
I thought as I bent down to the right to reach for it, It took me seconds before I finally had it back on my hands
but unfortunately, when I darted my eyes back to the road, a 2-door, 4-passenger family coupe, Black Hyundai Genesis was twirling and turning ridiculously on the road
I tried my best to turn to the other side and dodge the car but it seems too late.. considering the driver seem to be out of his mind driving at 100mph
then the next thing I saw was full darkness…

The little girl was picking up shells and white pebbles by the seashore when she bump into some kid with a hat on his head.
He was chewing some gum her mommy told her not to buy from cheap sari-sari store and the way he made those annoying sounds after each chew disgust her even more
His other gang snickered at the frighten look of the girl but she tried her best to ignore.
She was trying to not let them see how scared she was being surrounded by them so she bowed her head and pretended she didn’t see them.
After all, her mommy told her that Diego and his gang are one of the notorious kids in the summer camp
“And where’d you think you’re going, payatot?” He grabbed the little girl’s arms making her fall in the sand
The pebbles and the shells she has been collecting for hours have scattered everywhere while Diego and his gang laugh boisterously
The little girl tried her best to not cry over the spilled effort. She glared at the two gangly boys but didn’t say anything as she stood up, brushing off the sand off her feet and tried to stand still as possible
“Oh look.. little payatot’s gonna cry.. booo hooo!!” Diego mimicked while running circles around her.
“Payatot! Payatot! Payatot! Payatot!!!” He repeated over and over again trying to get under the little girl’s skin. But she didn’t budge and covered her ears with her hands while His other friend started laughing off hard as possible and then spit the gum on her hair minutes after
“Those turds who tease girls are considered gays you know”
The little girl froze as she slowly peep behind Diego’s rear. A little boy, about her age, surprises not only her with his presence but also Diego’s friends and Diego himself
and it didn’t take minutes before Diego was already on his knees with a faint stain of blood on his nostrils
“He punch him on the nose. Holy cow!” That was the only thing the little girl thought in horror at the sight before her. Then she glanced down at Diego who eventually started crying and calling out for his mommy
“Diego?! Diego!!”
Shouted by an old woman from a distant.
and that was their cue, The little boy immediately gasp the little girl’s hand and drag her with him. They started running off as fast as they could, away from those bullies ..and away from everyone else
as the little girl looked back, the rain started pouring. The cold rain drops hit the little girl’s face fast and hard soaking her instantly.
Her hair falls and stacks to her neck, and the dress clings to her body. The rain continues to fall as they continue to walk while her fitflops sink into the wet front lawn
The little boy led her quietly onto the soft sand. Here, He leant against her as he removed his shoes and watched as the little girl’s expression turned sour
“What are you waiting for?”
The boy said as he playfully toss his shirt off, The girl began to panic, scared that the boy might hit her too if she wouldn’t comply so she copied his actions and began removing her fitflops.
They both left their shoes on the sand and wondered along the beach. The little girl is not sure when and how but they came to hold each other's hands and it suddenly felt alright to trust a stranger. It was awkward at first but she eventually felt comfortable with it
“You know, I always notice you picking up shells by the shore” He uttered and began throwing all sort of rocks to the sea but the little girl didn’t say anything but stare at him for awhile, half-amuse and half.. freaked out?
“You must’ve think I’m a stalker huh?” The little laughed before adding
“Well .. you’re probably wondering why I was watching you”
Curious as can be, The little finally spoke “Why?” She asked curiosity lingered in her tone
The little boy who seem to be amuse by the little girl’s sudden enthusiasm beam her with a smirk-to-die-for “You looked like a pretty dork happy picking up stupid pebbles and shells”
Although the boy was laughing hysterically, the little girl didn’t find it amusing hence she frown at him and as if ready to throw the next thing her hand could grip with
“But .. nonetheless .. pretty. Yeah, Really pretty tho” He said sounding so sincere as he gazes back at the little girl’s flustered face then he proceeded throwing another rock pretending he didn’t let go of some cheesy baduy words
“I go around here to throw rocks you know and I always see you in the afternoon picking up those unusual boring pebbles and shells”
Come to think of it, The girl never knew why she did it but ..
“But you looked so happy doing that.. As if you’re lost in your own world while picking up those things by the shore. As if it’s the happiest thing you’ll ever do” The little boy added
“Something I’ve always crave for.. Happiness” There was a bit tad of sadness when the little boy trailed off the last world as if it burns in his tongue
“My mom and Dad often get into some heat-y argument. Shouting and screaming on each other.. Nakakabingi”
The little girl could only look at the boy’s lonely face as he tells her the story of his parents. The little boy rant about his older brother who’s good at everything he does thus sometimes comparing them both in the process which irks him more.
Then second how his older sister acts so spoiled and loved so dearly by their father and then here comes another baby brother soon that he felt like he was being replace and unlove
The little girl didn’t know what possess her but the next thing she knew she gasp into the little boy’s hand and said
“You know sometimes I also feel unloved and ignored by my parents because I felt like I’ll never be as good as my sister nor as adorable as her but trust me .. they love you. You may not feel it but they do”
The girl gave the little boy a reassuring smile which he gradually return with such genuineness that radiates with in
“See? In fact they’ve come to look for you..” The little girl pointed out behind as a very pregnant woman whose tummy is as bulky as you could expect her to be
The little boy immediately stood up and cleared the sand on his feet
“I guess I better go now … ---UHH?” He said his smile turn into a distorted smirk as he held out his hand for her to reach
“It’s Nina” She said with a smile as she grab his hand
“A’right, Nina .. Thanks” He quickly sprint his way to the stairs but wave back at the little girl before he completely lost his way on her vision
“Hurry up, Iñigo!!” Shouted impatiently by someone in the distant
