I was awake when I feel the suns heat biting my skin. Sobrang tirik na ng araw, I guess it's around 10:00 or 12:00 in the afternoon. Wala pa akong balak bumangon, it's Sunday. Means, bedtime is laziness time. That's what Sunday for me, Sunday Feels talaga!  Then I groaned when my tummy makes a loud noise. God! I was savoring the moment here in my loving bed! Ugh!

So, I had no choice. Gutom narin naman ako, nakakatamad lang talaga minsan bumangon. Hindi ka mamamatay sa gutom kundi sa katamaran! I went to the comfort room to wash my face and to brush my teeth. I didn't bother to comb my hair, I just bun it, as always. Mamaya na ako maliligo, katamaran mode is real.

I glanced at the clock that hangs in the wall, it's 12:25 na pala. While heading into my kitchen, I dropped at my sound system. I felt like singing today, I wanna hear Taylor Swift's voice so I played her songs. I picked first the New Romantics next was Blank Space and last is Wildest Dreams. I don't mind what will play after it, it's just my top favorite songs of her kasi. Then I full blast the volume para mas feel.

And when I'm in the kitchen, I'm not in the mood to eat rice today so I go for bread instead. I toast it, then I fried hotdog, bacon, and egg while sinasabayan ko ang kanta. God! How I love eggs! It's my happy food! Goodluck nalang sa cholesterol nito. Nagtimpla rin ako ng hot chocolate,  set the table and tadaaah! I'm ready to eat my brunch.

Pagkatapos kung kumain, I washed the plates. Still humming, wala akong balak lumabas ngayon. Nakaquota na ako kahapon. Baka kasi pag lumabas ako, kung san ko na naman maisipang pumunta. What to do next? Hmm. Then tumili ako when I know what would I do next. It's reading books time!

I turned off the music kasi the concert has ended, I get the three books that were pending in my shelves for a long time. I sit comfortably in my couch and wear glasses, nerd lang ang drama ko ngayon. Then I start reading, not minding the time and reality.

After hours of reading, I feel tired and so I stopped. I was doubting if I reached my phone in the table, you just can't hide at them Alexis. I sighed then decided to pick it and disabled the flight mode. I went to the app message to find who message me.

I saw's Jana name, Benedict, Blue, Jay, and Dad. But what caught my attention is the unknown number, I quickly opened the message and got stunned for a while. It's Gab! How come he knew my number? Kanina lang tong text niya just saying;  Hey Santillan! Wanna hang out? - Gab

Naexcite ako sa text niya! Honestly, I wanna hang out today but with someone. Not with my cousins. Tho, I feel so bad for hiding them but I can't face them right now.

I saved his number with the name of, Gab Pangit! He would freak out if he knew this.

To Gab Pangit:

How'd you know my number, Trinidad?

Message send. But I'm sure he won't reply agad. Kaninang 8:15 pa ang text niya, malamang ngayon nainip nayun kahihintay. He hates waiting pa naman. I'm now watching tv, The Looney Tunes to be exact. God! Ang cute talaga ni Bugs Bunny!

My phone vibrated after 15 minutes. He replied. Yay!

From Gab Pangit:

I have sources Santillan (; Btw, what's with the late reply?

I smiled at his text. He's still the Gab that I knew. Like he never changed.

To Gab Pangit:

Creepy! I woke up late, a valid reason for a busy person like me. * insert a smirking emoji*
