Hostel upang makihalubilo sa mga fellow at kay Mam Christine Godinez. Sabi ko sa sarll, tapos nna ang worksyap at huling gabi ko na ito sa ligan kaya kailangang sulitin. "Nasa isang room ang mga fellow kasama si Mam Christine. Pinili kong inumin ang red wine na injinom din ni Mam Christine. Maraming fellow sa loob ng room, may mga lumalabas-labas, may ilang bumili pa sa labas ng dagdag na inumin at iba pa. Sa gitma ng room at may mesa kung saan nakapatong ang iba’t ibang inumin o alak. Sa palibot ‘ng mesang ito, sumasayaw-sayaw ang ilang fellows kabilang na sina T), I Kurt at iba pa. Nakapalibot at nakaharap kami sa kanila at pati si Mam Christine. May isang malit na ispiker na may tumutugtog na mabibilis na awi ‘May kutson na nakalatag sa slid. May isa 0 dalawang fellow na nakaupo dito at nag-uusap- sap, isa silvanie. Kasama nila si Hermi Dico. Matapos ang ilang oras. May mga fellow na nagtungo na sa kanilang mga silid. Ako ay nag-stay muna sa bilog na mesa sa labas ng silid sa 2" floor at makipagkuwentuhan sa ilan pang fellow na natira. May ilang fellow na naiwan din sa silid na pinag-inuman, |sa sa pumupunta-punta sa bilog na mesa si Hannah na paulit-lit na sinasabi sa amin na may ‘natanggap siyang text buhat sa NORRMC na lumindol daw. Bumababa rin si Hanna sa 1" floor at nauupo sa sofa sa lobby ng hostel habang gumagamit ng kaniyang cellphone. Bumababa- baba rin ako noon upang kumuha ng mainit sa tubig sa water dispenser sa kusina ng hostel. Bumaba na ako at pumasok sa room ko na alam kong natulog si Hannah sa isang senior fellow na siJen na nasa 2™ floor. May tatlong batch ng service na maghahatid sa mga fellow at panelist patungo sa airport, sa 6:30 am ako napasama. 5:50 am ay nasa lobby na ako ng hostel hinihintay ang van na maghahatid sa akin sa airport at ang dalawa pang fellow na makakasabay ko, sina Jen at Ivanie. Pagbaba nina Jen at Ivanie, dumating si Nina galing sa labas ng hostel o sa labas ng MSU, pawisan, at halatang kaka-jogging lang tulad ng ginagawa nila sa mga nakaraang umaga, sa tanda ko, mga dalawang beses ko siyang nakasasalubong sa ibaba kapag umaga galing sa paglalakad o pagtakbo. Masaya ang kaniyang mukha nang umagang iyon tulad ng dati Saglit silang nag-usap-usap sa Binisaya nina Jen at Ivanie bago kami sumakay sa van at umalis. Hindi ko maintindihan ang kanilang pinag-usapan, Habang naghihintay ng eroplano sa airport, kay Wvanie ko nalaman na pinalabas pala ni Tiny si Hannah sa room nila. At nakita raw ni Hannah ang simula ng halikan at iba pa. Wala pa noon si Jen sa departure area dahil nagkaroon ng problema sa bagahe niya.
