It is summer of April 2006. I can feel the heat of the sun burning through my skin. The sun is so bright that it almost blind me with its light. All I can think of that time is the beach. It has been a year since my first step on a beach, and right now I’m so excited for the second time will be in Puerto Galera. But first I must finish what I came here for.

Makati is full of busy people, they would not even noticed other people passing by. Both people and cars are always on a rush. I can hear people talking about business and at the same time I can hear the car horns and engines. I’m passing by Petron Gas Station, looking and asking people for a government office. After a minute of walking I finally arrived at the SSS office. After two hours of another waiting they opened the office, Grrrr… well life is full of burden. After about an hour of process, I finally got my SSS number, Hmmm… Isn’t this supposed to be an ID? Why did they just gave me a piece of paper? Well the Guard told me that I must have at least one month deposit in my account. Now I get it.

So its time for me to go home. Wait a minute, what is that? ummm… hmmmm… damn! IM HUNGRY!!! No wonder it is so expensive when you start looking for a job. You have to eat all the time. Need to find a fast food restaurant. I know that their is a nearby Jollibee here in Makati Avenue. I know it because it is just a couple of blocks from where my mother is working. I’m so hungry that time that I order C3 (One piece Chicken Joy, Spaghetti and a drink) and I ordered two extra rice. I was about to order a hamburger, fries and a Strawberry Sundae when I realized that my money is not enough. Crap! So instead I just ordered C3 and two extra rice. Then the worse part came, they still have to chase the chicken, kill it, removed the feather before they can cook the chicken. Just nice, when you are so hungry these things happen. Well I have to wait… Patience is a virtue, it is not a talent… So after giving me the tray with a number, pieces of tissue and Softdrink, I turn around and found a table for two. Just two tables from the entrance of Jollibee. So I got in to my table, then I wait for my order to arrive.

I’m starting to become tired, may be because of hunger and heat. And then came three people, a guy accompanied by two girls. So what?! and as I was about to look on other things I noticed this girl. I noticed the sweet smile, red lips, those pretty eyes that it will make the time stop when she looks at you, her long hair that almost covered her ear, and as she noticed it she flip it behind her ear. Which makes her more mesmerizing.

After seconds of fantasy, I realized that I know this girl. She has been part of my life, she is the girl that I dreamth of and as I saw her that time, I thought I was dreaming. On the other hand I’m enamoured by the beauty of this girl, I can feel my inner self unleashed and outer self weakened and ignored. I can hear and feel my heart pumping, it is louder than the car horns and engines… faster than the rotation of the car wheels. What the fuck is happening?! My legs started to wiggle in excite of talking to her again, my mouth smile. I feel like I’m floating… I hope I will not fall. I want to talk to her but I don’t know how to start. Suddenly something triggered my voice, might be my instinct (Thank God for giving me one), I called her name, yet she hasn’t heard it. I called her name for several times more but she can’t hear me. My weakened body was strenghtened by an anonymous energy, then out nowhere my body stand up and approach the girl. And in my surprise she still remembers me.

From then on I can’t seem to forget her. She has always been in my mind since then. I’ve tried to play different video games hoping that it will diverse my attention but nothing happens. I’ve tried to watch several horror movies… just got worse because most of the movies have leading ladies and leading men. I’ve tried to sleep hoping that I might forget her mesmerizing beauty after waking up, but she appear in my dreams.

Now, I’m starting to become more miserable. Thinking of when to see her again… hoping to see her again. Imagining of her of her smile… a smile that makes every person want to leave on earth… a smile that gives a person reason to do something… This things confused me… This is really wierd! There are things more important than this, I have my plan and priorities… and right now it cause error in my system. I can’t start my day without thinking about her. In everything that I do, I see her. Why me? Must resist… focus…. focus… concentrate… absurd…
