There I was, an empty piece of a shell

Just minding my own world

Without even knowing what love and life were all about

Then you came

You brought me out of the shell

You gave the world to me

And before I knew

There I was, so in love with you

My parent’s theme song played on the car’s radio. As soon as my mom

heard it, she realized it right away.

“Honey! That’s our theme song!” mom squealed in excitement.

“Oh, right! How can I forget darling?” my dad smiled ear-to-ear hearing
their theme song.

“You know mga anak, this is the song me and your dad danced to when
we were in highschool!” mom smiling as though she won the world cup.

“Yes, we know mom. You told us multiple times already.” Ate Mariel
told mom not looking down from her case files.

“Mariel, we told you to stop studying today.” Mom’s mood suddenly

dropped.
I just smiled with all my family’s bickering.

“Mom, it’s our finals tomorrow. Let her study.” I chuckled since I knew
Ate Mariel has been lying to our parents she slept early last night.
Gagang yan, pumunta pa sa BGC nang madaling-araw.

Sa wakas, nakarating na rin kami. Sumulod na kami sa isang Japanese

restaurant.
