Fate kalmahan mo, hindi mo kakilala 'yan baka mamaya anak pa 'yan ng kung sinong presidente ng ano mang bansa dito sa mundo.

Even if you're a crazy troublemaker when drunk, stop it now. Stop drinking now! I mentally reminded to myself.

"Mas mahangin ka pa kaysa sa kakambal ko" bulong ko at nagtaka siya dahil hindi niya ako naintindihan o hindi niya ako narinig.

"Stop normalizing cheating, it's not a good thing to be normalized in the first place. You'll just hurt the person you supposed to love in the purest way" I just stated and put my head on the table.

I should stop drinking now or I might really punch him if he talk again. Men normalizing cheating, tsk. Kaya ang daming mangloloko sa mundo e, lalo na sa mga lalaki.

Deserve ba ng mga babaeng maloko dahil normal lang 'yun sa kanila, when in the first place nagmahal lang naman kami?

Gosh I am being dramatic, this is not me! I hate you, Carlo! I hate you!

"Miss, you have to go home now before you completely fall asleep or get drunk even more" I heard the guy beside me spoke.

Hindi ba niya alam na bawal akong pigilan sa pagtulog!? Ang stupid naman niya!

"Don't you dare try to stop me from taking a nap!" I threatened him and he sighed. "Sleep is one of the things I love in my life, don't you just dare. Give me peace, I want to sleep without having a hard time now" I added and closed my eyes. "Instead of normalizing cheating, you should normalize seeing a person sleeping in a bar"

Sleep. I love sleeping, but ever since that night I started having nightmares or insomnia because I can't sleep without thinking of that scene.

Now, I want to sleep peacefully and the alcohol helps me to do that even if there's a loud noise around me. As long as I don't have that nightmare.

And when I opened my eyes, I didn't see the people that were partying last night. No party lights and loud music.

"Umaga na" sabi ko matapos tingnan ang oras at nagulat ako ng may nakita akong coat sa balikat ko ng bumangon ako. Then I saw a man sleeping on the couch, just few inches beside me.

I frowned and inspected his face, but my eyes widen when I remembered that I have an appointment to a hairsalon this morning.

"Gago, di ko naiwan sa kanya" sabi ko habang nasa loob na ng taxi at napansin na nasa balikat ko pa rin ang coat. Hanggang hita ko ang haba nito kanina at dahil malamig sa Japan, hindi ko na rin naisip tanggalin kanina, ngayon ko lang naisip na hindi nga pala sa akin ang coat. "Hayaan na nga, as if naman ninakaw ko siya. Siya naman ang kusang nagbigay sa'kin nito"

When I went to the salon, I specifally told them that I can't speak Japanese and good thing they have a staff that can speak in English which she is the one that assisted me.

"What haircut do you like miss?" she asked while looking at my reflection on the mirror in front of us.

I looked at myself and touched my hair, I used to have short hair and it's a long one now. Carlo said that it's better if I have a long hair, so my hair won't fall on my face when I am working and it won't distract me because I can tie it properly. Kasi kapag short hair, nakakatamad itali at alam niyang ganon ako kapag maiksi ang buhok ko.

Now I want it short again and with a different color this time.

"I want something different, from the length to its color. I want it to change me" I answered and she smiled gently at me before she nodded.

"How short do you want it to be?"

"Shoulder length and brown color with blond highlights" I answered all the things I wanted for my hair. This is just my first week in Japan and I already want to do everything that will change me and distract me.
