"Why does everyone loves Titanic?" This guy named Denver grumbled when I asked him to play My Heart Will Go On.
I smiled at his reaction. "Because it taught me to live my life to the fullest and make sure to treasure every second of my life." Everyone loves that film, he's right.
"Are you living your life to the fullest?" He suddenly asked. Tinigil na niya ang pagtugtog sa piano at humarap sa akin.
"No, but atleast I'm okay."
Took me awhile to answer.
"So, may kulang pa? Kasi hindi ka pa masaya?"
"Yes," the outside world is suffocating me. I've always want something like this, to be distracted away from reality, to be challenged so once I'll be capable once I'm ready to face the world again. So when this opportunity came, I took the chance despite of mom's disagreement. I'm happy because I feel like this place is another reason for me to breathe again.
I hope I could find myself here.
"Bakit ka pumasok rito?" Ako na ang nagtanong. Ayaw kong mag-open sa kaniya, wala pa akong tiwala.
"Gusto ni Dad, they said this place can cure me."
"You have sickness?"
"I have a traumatizing past," he answered plainly as if it wasn't a big deal. Tumingin siya sa akin ulit. "But, aren't we all?"

"Gusto niyo bang dumiretsyo na sa training hall? Doon rin naman ang bagsak natin mamaya," Ford asked.
Nabanggit nga sa amin na 1 PM raw ang start ng training, pero kaniya-kaniya muna kami no'n. Around 3 PM pa raw dumarating ang mga instructors at hanggang 7 na 'yon ng gabi. Apat na oras mabubugbog ang katawan ko, sana makatulog ako ng maayos mamaya.
"How about our clothes? Medyo mahirap kasi gumalaw."
May binigay ng training attire sa amin pero hindi ko pa masusuot kasi nilabhan ko kanina, nawala sa loob ko na araw-araw nga pala ang training rito.
"I forgot, nasanay kasi kami nila Sapphire na kahit anong suot." Napakamot si Ford sa batok.
"Kaibigan mo ang ma-attitude na 'yon?" Siniko ko si Blake. Hindi talaga maganda ang pananalita nito minsan. Pinandilatan niya lang ako ng mata na para bang sinasabi niyang totoo naman raw.
"Oo," tumawa si Ford. "Pero may puso 'yon."
"Malamang?" Isang siko pa ang ginawa ko. Blake naman, ang bunganga talaga oh.
"Gago 'tong pinsan mo 'no?" Ford asked me with a half grin. I couldn't help but agree kaya natawa siya. "Buti hindi ka nahawa? Immune?"
