Highschool Questions

And so I played a game with my friends, where each one of us would be given the opportunity to ask a question to anyone inside the circle.

After two rounds of clean, fun, sometimes disturbing questions, it was my turn to be asked a question.

FRIEND #1: Let's do it differently now. Why don't we answer a question for Wado now.

Everyone else agreed.

FRIEND #1: Sino sa tingin ninyo ang babaeng bagay kay Wado?

Everybody stopped, including myself. For quite some time now, I haven't really entertained the idea, until the question came. Now everyone started to think, including myself.

A friend gave an answer, "Si ------!"

"Bakit naman siya?" I asked.

"Kasi feeling ko, bagay kayo!" And everyone else laughed, including me again.

Another friend gave an answer. "Feeling ko si -----. Maganda na, matalino pa."

"Actually, I considered her, first year pa lang ako. Perfect no? Kaso, alam mo na."

Everyone laughed again, now even harder.

"At kaya ka niyang pagsabihan, feeling ko lang."

Another friend said, "Si ----------, matangkad! Pang model!"

Another friend recommended my highschool love once more. "Magbalikan na lang kaya kayo?"

Now, the room fell silent. One friend, who quietly observes and sits in the back couldn't easily give an answer. "Pinagiisipan ko din kasi, kanina pa. Sino nga ba? Hmmm.... Sino man ang makakapagpa-shut up kay Wado, yun na!"

"Shut up?" I asked.

"No, I mean, diba (part deleted), so I was thinking, you deserve someone na kakatakutan at papakinggan mo."

I didn't know if I should take my friend's comment positively. Pero looking it on another person's unbiased perspective, I saw my friend's intention of giving me the proper meds I deserve to become a better person. He wished not what I think was good for me, instead, he wished for someone I deserve. Although he did not give any names that day, his answer meant the most among the answers given inside that room. And I became more thankful than ever for him, and the answers God gave me that day.

"In God's time", I kept on telling myself this, over and over again. But for today, I will try my best to enjoy and make the most out of everything that comes to me.

I will live one day at a time.

I will be happy.

For whatever God's will is, I will.
