bad vibes, go away. :( BOO. #BadDay

"Jill, okay na daw. Start na tayo." Anne announced.

The shoot went on for two hours. Half of which were interviews and Coach Pido talking to the team and the other half were dunks, shots, and crossovers. After making sure we got everything we need, we thanked Coach Pido and the Tigers. Gerard and Anne went back to the office first since there were a few things Coach had me take note of.

"Chubs, catch!" Kim suddenly called out after we were dismissed. Instinctively, I put my hands in front to catch whatever he threw at me.

"Chubs, ito pa!" Aljon did the same, so did Kevin and Kent.

"Ginawa niyo naman akong ring." I said to the four of them. I looked at what was in my hands and saw that they gave me four packs of chocolates.

I looked at them with puzzlement and they just grinned at me. "Bad day ka e. Alam naman naming pagkain ang magpapasaya sayo." Kent laughed.

"Dapat si Teng ihahagis namin e kaso di mo naman siya masasalo." Aljon joked.

"Double meaning, paps! Pero nahulog na si Teng sa kanya. Di palang niya sinasalo" Kim chimed in and Aljon gave him a high-five.

"Sweet niyo na sana e. Sana di niyo nalang dinugtungan yung sinabi ni Kent." I smirked but gave them my first real smile of the day. "Thanks for this, guys. Naappreciate ko."

"Kami pa. Sweet talaga kami." Kevin said as he ruffled my hair.

"Hindi na nga ako nakapagsuklay, guguluhin mo pa buhok ko." I said to him, trying to smooth out my hair.

"Sanay naman kaming magulo buhok mo e. Mas magugulat kami kung maayos yan." Kent teased. I glared at him and he raised his arms in mock surrender.

"Kain tayo, chubs." Kim invited.

"G. Saan?" I asked. I was really hungry so I didn't care where we're going to eat.

"Gusto mo sa unli-rice tayo?" Aljon asked as if speaking to a child in a comforting tone. These guys know my food preferences well. I couldn't help but smile at them again.

"Gusto ko yan. Tara na!" I said with a little more energy than earlier.

"Tignan mo 'to, na-mention palang ang pagkain nabuhayan na ulit." Kevin teased.

"Hindi pa kasi ako kumakain ng breakfast, pagbigyan niyo na ako." I told them.

"Seryoso yan? Nagdidiet ka ba, chubs? Pinaghahandaan mo ba ang Bora Body mo?" Kim joked as we went out of the QPav.

"Loko-loko. Anong 'Bora Body' pinagsasabi mo diyan? And di effective sakin yung diet if ever mag-attempt man ako." I replied.

The four of them laughed in agreement and all I could do was shake my head. Being with them, along with the prospect of rice-all-you-can, made me a feel a little bit better.

"Kuya, extra rice pa po." I called on the waiter.

Kent, who wasn't always with us whenever we eat, looked surprised. Aljon, Kevin, and Kim just carried on with the conversation. They were used to seeing me eat a little bit more than normal.

"Pangatlong extra rice mo na yan a." Kent commented, looking confused.

"Last na 'to." I said to him.
