Pinakain, inasikaso at pinag silbihan nila kaming walong mag kakaibigan. Natulog kaming lahat sa iisang kwarto pero mayroong walong kama doon para tig-iisa kaming lahat, hindi kase ako panatag na wala ang isa sa'min kaya mas gusto kong mag kakasama kami. It's not that masikip, it's just perfectly fine and I still can't believed na nandito ako sa future ng parallel universe.

Everyone's asleep, lalong lalo na si Jianna. She had a nightmare a while ago but luckily? Nandito si Cairo, he took care of my best friend until she went back to sleep then parehas na silang naka tulog ulit ngayon. Magka tabi sila, trust me? Bukas nasa ibaba na yan si Cairo. Magugulat na lang siya dahil natutulog na siya sa lapag, malikot matulog si Jianna kaya kapag may sleep over kami? Lahat kami sa lapag na lang natutulog dahil doon din naman ang ending namin kapag katabi namin siya.

She's a heavy sleeper, tulog mantika sa ibang term. Kaya nga kanina ay hindi siya nagising kahit ilan na kaming gumising sa kaniya, nananaginip siya ng masama pero hindi namin alam kung tungkol saan yon. Kumalma lang siya nung nag simulang kumanta ng twinkle, twinkle si Cairo. He has a spectacular voice but I wonder kung bakit yon ang kinanta niya out of all the songs na sikat ngayon.

I woke up earlier than everyone else, hinintay ko lang na bumalik si Jianna sa tulog kagabi then natulog na rin ulit ako kaagad dahil nakita kong gising pa si Peter. Both of my cellphone and wristwatch aren't working at the same freaking time so I don't actually know kung anong oras na ba dito, or is time working here at all? Para kaseng walang wall clock man lang dito sa palagid.

This may be the future but I don't see any clocks here, as in none at all. But perhaps, that's why they don't grow old nor die that easily. Just like Lolo, mukha pa rin siyang binata pero ang totoo? He's way too older than any of us here. He mentioned yesterday na may surpresa siya sa'kin but he didn't told me kung ano yon, he said na hindi daw yon materyal but a person. How can he give me a human being?

I'm actually surprised about one thing, when I found out that I almost died because of Peter? I didn't even got mad nor felt resentment towards him. He doesn't know na ginagamit lang siya ng Lola niya and that's the sad part of it, minahal niya ang Lola niya dahil doon siya lumaki pero it turns out na kaya lang niya pala ginawa yon is because may gusto siyang gawin kay Peter. She's using her own grandson for her own benefit, that's too harsh. She even cursed him but luckily, it's not working or we thought so.

That cursed thingy part, hindi ko iyon masyadong maintindihan o maunawan. Why the hell would she do that? Anong sapat niyang dahilan para mang damay ng mga nilalang na inosente? And why the fuck did she took my grandmother? Anong kinalaman ni Granny sa gulong to? If she wanted me then why not ako na lang imbis na iba? Granny is already old, each day? Nababawasan na rin ang araw niya sa mundo.

She won't stay for too long, I knew that one day? She'll have to say goodbye but in a peaceful way and not like this. Kasal pa rin sila ni Lolo, he said that there's no way to avoid the curse and my grandmother. Kusa talaga silang nag kikita kahit anong gawin niyang pag iwas, same goes for granny. He knew that she tried her best to stay away from him but failed, it's inevitable.

Kahit ang pinaka makapangyarihang nilalang dito, hindi kayang alisin ang sumpa niya. Kung may galit siya kay Granny then why? Saan nang galing yon? From what I've read, Peter Pan and Tinkerbell are friends. If that's true then why would Tinkerbell cursed my grandmother? Our whole family?
