Kasabay ng patak ng mga ulan,
Ay ang paggunita sa mga alaalang nalimutan.
Mga alaalang akala'y hanggang doon nalang,
Gagambalain pa rin pala ang kasalukuyan.

"Girls, I need to head out first. I still have to submit this script before 7 am." While they continue with their reviewers, I gently kissed Mica and Terra on the cheeks.
"Ingat ka. Send us updates." Said by Mica.
"That's noted." I began to walk towards the door.
"Your breakfast, don't forget! You might get dizzy again!" I smiled at Terra who shouted, waving the small paper bag I'm holding, containing a burrito. "Good!" She added.
I bought this last Saturday but haven't eaten it yet. Luckily, tinabi nila sa ref, so I just microwaved it.
"Bye! Goodluck sa exams!" I shouted back.
As far as I know, their class starts at nine today.
Hindi ko na muna binanggit sa kanila ang mga detalye o tunay na dahilan ng pagkahilo ko. Ayos na yung akala nila ay nalipasan lang ako ng gutom. Hindi pa rin naman ako sigurado kung ano ba talaga ang tunay na pinagmulan ng mga alaalang iyon.
"A kiss will do."
Aaaaa! Bakit ko na naman naiisip 'to? Pinalayas ko talaga siya after niyang sabihin 'yan last time. Hindi na ako nakapag-review ng maayos after no'n! Paano ba naman, the words he said keep replaying in my mind over and over again!
Oh gosh, I'm not even sure where this emotion is leading me.
When I reached the school, it's hard to find a student smiling. Everyone looks exhausted, as if they're about to go home due to stress.
Mahahawa ka nalang talaga.
Habang palakad-lakad sa campus ay kinakain ko na 'tong burrito na baon ko. Pampawala ng sakit sa ulo kaaaral magdamag.
I head straight to the faculty to submit the scripts that Mr. Arnold assigned two days ago. This is my final output for him this term. My classmates, on the other hand, have different task.
I found Mr. Arnold busy with his own laptop. I apologized briefly for interrupting before explaining my work. Sa pagkakaalam ko'y kakailanganin ito ng mga Theater Artists mamayang makapanaanghali, kaya't mas maaga niya itong ipanapapasa sa akin.
"Good." He said after scanning the pages of the paper. Tinabi nito iyon sa gilid ng lamesa't muli ng humarap sa laptop. Akala ko'y may sasabihin pa ang propesor kaya't nanatili pa rin akong nakatingin sa kanya. Nang mapansin niyang naroon pa pala ako'y parang doon lang ito natauhang may kausap pa nga pala ito. "Oh, you can go now, Ms. Andrada." Tumango-tango pa si Mr. Arnold, diverting his attention back to the laptop.
Oh, okay.
I thought he would at least give me some praise or acknowledgment. Truth be told, my task is more challenging compared to my classmates'.
He paused once again from what he was doing and glanced at me. Perhaps he was wondering why I still haven't left, even though he had already dismissed me.
"Ah, I'll go ahead na po. Thank you po."
I quickly walked out of the faculty room and went up to my room on the 4th floor, recalling some of the topics I reviewed as I found my seat. If I keep thinking about Mr. Arnold, I might not be able to focus on the exam.
