THE OCCURRENCES yesterday were wholesome. First, I learned that it was the foremost photograph that those three ever took together. Second, I felt like I just made friends. Third, it would definitely one of the best pages that my diary ever had.

As of the moment, nasa tapat kami ngayon ng apartment na tinitirahan ni Ranpo at hinihintay siyang bumaba mula sa kanyang unit. We also learned that there was a scheduled circus show during Wednesdays hence we're on our way.

You read it right. Circus show. Hindi sikat ang mga shows na tulad nito dahil nalaos na. May mga sinehan na kasi rito kaya natabunan na rin. Sa buong town, iisang circus show lang ang mahahanap mo kaya hindi na kami mahirapang bumili ng ticket. We aim to see what Jillian has been find of before she met her demise. Ranpo failed to tell us his other intentions but Newt assured that it was probably to conduct an investigation about the clowns back there.

Alas singko nang hapon magsisimula ang show kaya pagkatapos ng klase, nag-asikaso agad kami. Nakasuot ako ng yellow long-sleeved polo at itim na pantalon. The upper buttons were open, revealing my sexy collarbones. Damn, ang hot ko na talaga - sana naging lalaki na lang ako.

Newt was wearing a plain red polo, sleeves were folded up to his elbow and wearing the same black trousers. Bagsak ang buhok niya na halos takpan na ng bangs ang isang mata at eye patch niya. Unlike me, he included a black tie hanging from his collar. Pero syempre, ang nagpasira ng fashion niya ay ang overcoat niyang kulay itim.

Conan, on the other hand, looked like a businessman about to attend another company meeting. His blond hair was brushed up to one side, looking neat. He was wearing a black coat and a dark green polo underneath, black checked tie and a golden watch.

"Ah, seriously?" Ranpo finally went down from his unit to meet us. Halos mapanganga ako dahil sa suot niya. Jusme! Naka-formal attire kami tapos-

Naka-plain blue T-shirt lang siya at pants. Opposed to his usual habit, magulo ang buhok niya at hindi suot ang salamin niya. Mukhang nagmadali 'to, a.

Nanliit ang mga mata niya habang inoobserbahan kaming tatlo. He pointed his finger to Conan, to me, and to Newt— then smirked. "Red, green, yellow, and now me, blue? Congratulations, we're the Power Rangers."

Napatakip ako ng bibig para pigilan ko ang tawa ko. HAHAHA, in fairness a. Marunong din palang mag-joke 'tong lalaking 'to. I haven't realized it until now!

"Jungle Fury ang pa rin ang ultimate favourite ko," sabi ko. "I always admired the yellow ranger, hehe." Then I made a pose like a ranger. "With the speed of the cheetah, Jungle Fury, Yellow Ranger!"

Silence. They all cringed, except for Newt. He seemed to be rather amazed unlike the rest.

"Tandaan niyo, guys. She's still with us . . ." bulong ni Conan. "'Wag niyong ikakaila kahit anong mangyari, baka hindi 'yan makauwi."

Grabe naman sila sa 'kin. Hangang-hanga lang talaga kasi ako sa bilis ng yellow ranger sa Jungle Fury noong bata pa 'ko! You know, childhood dreams never die. Buti pa si Newt, mukhang naiintidihan ako.

"Super Mega Force is still the best, Princess," wika ni Newt na punong-puno ng confidence. "Have you seen the episode where all the Rangers came to their aid?"

Magsasalita pa sana ako kaso biglang sumigaw si Conan para pigilan kami. "Tara na! Baka ma-late pa tayo!"

Throughout the ride, we all fell silent, busy with their smartphones. Nahihiya naman akong ilabas 'yung sa akin kasi sobrang gaganda ng mga brand ng sa kanila, samantalang 'yung akin, luma na, pinagtitiisan pa.
