When I was a kid, I always hated playing the stupid game called "the boat is sinking". The one where you have to group yourselves into the number of members the game facilitator would tell you. Gets nyo na siguro kung anong game yun diba? Lahat naman siguro tayo ay nakadalo na ng children’s party! Going back, I remember I do well on the first few rounds of the game. But when it comes to the last round, alam kong ma-a-out na ako! Naalala ko nga nung bata ako, sumali ako sa laro na yun. Tapos nakahanap na ako ng mga ka-group pero yung isang bata tinulak pa ako tapos iba yung sinama nya. Natalo natalo tuloy ako. Ewan ko ba. Basta palagi nalang ganon. Pag narinig ko na ang mga katagang "the boat is sinking, group yourselves in to TWO", I know that I'm gonna be the odd one out. Kilala akong friend ng lahat ng tao. Close ako sa lahat. But I realized na wala akong isang kaibigan lang na may one-is-to-one relationship sa akin. Hindi katulad ni Krista at ni Shane, si Joey at si Keian, si Karyl at si Manoy, si Elbert at si Jowell. I’m sure pagnarinig nila ang "the boat is sinking, group yourselves into TWO" kahit nasa Taft si Shane at nasa Makati si Krista ay pupunta sila sa isat isa. I get along with everybody, but when it comes to the point that everybody goes to their respective partners, I find myself alone.. When the boat sinks, I sink alone..

mabuti nalang marunong ako magswimming.
