#WUM8

I started taking gigs again, though, only every weekend since I still have classes until finals-Hera suggested to finish the semester first before making it as my job and I didn't reject her only request. I also had a talk with Daisy about her job offer that week, she was so happy to hear that I'll frequently perform at Lucky Spot.

"Ang gandang balita naman niyan! Siguradong matutuwa ang fans mo rito! Hinahanap ka nga nila noong nakaraan, sabi ko abala ka sa school at weekends ka lang tumatanggap ng gig!"

"Yeah, I'll probably take gigs regularly after finals. Hihinto na kasi ako sa pag-aaral," kaswal kong sinabi.

Nagulat siya. "Talaga? Bakit? Hindi ba't first year college ka pa lang? Sayang naman!"

I didn't answer, I just smiled a bit. Wala naman akong ibang isasagot doon, ayaw ko ang kurso at ayaw kong gumastos si Hera sa pag-aaral ko dahil hindi na ako suportado nila Mommy.

It's a bit relieving that I don't receive messages from them since I decided to block their numbers last time, I don't wanna be so pressured and stressed about their upbraiding. Ang sakit kasi, e. Bumibigat lang ang pakiramdam ko.

"Pero sabagay, mas okay namang magtrabaho kung tinatamad ka sa pag-aaral kaysa naman walang ginagawa. 'Tsaka, nandiyan lang naman ang eskuwelahan, kahit kailan mo gusto ay makakabalik ka. I'm really happy that you're gonna be our regular siren here very soon! OMG!" she beamed and held on my shoulders. "Good luck!"

I nodded. "Thank you rin sa offer mo."

I don't really know any more jobs, kung hindi ako marunong kumanta at in-offer-an ni Daisy na maging regular singer sa bar nila ay hindi ko pa alam kung anong papasukin kong trabaho at baka sunod-sunuran ako sa adoptive parents ko. Puppet.

"Wala 'yon! Naku, ang tagal-tagal na at parati kitang ini-invite para mag-perform dito every night! Gustong-gusto ka kasi talaga ng mga tao, nagkakaroon lalo ng regular customers dahil sayo!"

Tuwing weekend nights lang ako madalas sa Lucky Spot simula pa noong last year, minsan lang ako tumatanggap ng gigs kapag weekdays at nasasaktong may night out sila L. Lucky Spot was our comfort place kahit na nagkakaroon kami minsan ng gigs ni Damon sa ibang bars, dito pa rin kami bumabalik at mas nagtatagal.

"Sana nga mapilit ko rin iyong Epicenter na tumugtog dito regularly! Ang dami naman kasi nilang bars na pinupuntahan, mas regular pa sila roon sa La Verde!"

Tumango lang ako.

Speaking of that band, Ajax was really helpful and I appreciate how he makes me feel comfortable around the place by visiting the apartment compound simply as if it was his normal routine ever since. Kung hindi ko lang narinig sa panunuya ni Nestor na hindi siya madalas doon noon ay maniniwala akong routine niya iyon dati pa.

Although, he wasn't really going up to the rooms' floor intentionally. Sa ibaba ko lang siya madalas makita at kausap ang mga kaibigan.

The month was smoothly jammed, I was adjusting with my independent life at Ate Angie's compound and it was surprisingly relaxing for me than how I was with Riva last month. Maybe, I just really wanted to be alone in a place where I could sleep and move without thinking of someone's rules.

I'm getting used to it easily, I'm liking this life more than before.

After my set, I sat on our table again.

"Bitin naman 'yon!" singhap nila Forest nang makaupo ako.

"I feel like in heaven when you're singing!" Beau complimented with his friend, Echo.
