Choosing Colors

Writer's picture: Anna_UbanaAnna_Ubana

This is an interesting output, and I find this activity really hard, so forgive me if it was not as good as you think hahaha. Pardon my shitty writing. So, this is about telling the same story in different colours. The story is quite important to me because this was the day that I get to ride a plane for the first time. :)

 

LIGHTHEARTED


I hear loud, murmuring noises, and harsh lights are blinding me. What time is it? I thought. My sister sat at my bed and said, “Hey, wake up, we gotta get going. Our flight is at 3 am. Hurry up! We have been waiting for this trip!” Jeez, woman, calm your hair down, I said in my head. Gosh, they are all excited, and in 3 hours, we are going to Batanes. Oh my gosh! The thought suddenly hit me, “WE ARE GOING TO BATANES, TODAY,” I shouted. I thought I would only scream in my head, but I guess it is too late now. My sisters stopped for a second, they heard me, and slowly they made their biggest smiles and giggled like stupid girls going on their first dates.

I packed briefly and travelled to the airport. It was my first time to ride an aeroplane, and in the airport, so I keep on staring at the ceiling, on the walls, everywhere, making it obvious that I am a first-timer. At the boarding area, my sister told me, “Hey, have you mentioned to mom that you are going to Batanes with us?” Oh, shoot! We are about to board the plane, and I have not told my mom I am going on an island and will be missing my classes for a week. My sisters laughed at me for forgetting to inform our mother. They are all working and grown-up, so they do not have to do what I have to do. I am just a freshman college about to take a week trip with my sisters on an island. I called my mom and expecting a brief scolding, but she was calm and understanding, I did not expect that. When I board the plane, I am so ecstatic to see Batanes.

 

NOSTALGIC


It was midnight when I started to hear loud, murmuring noises and flashing lights through my eyes. I was so confused about what was happening at that moment, and when my dear sister sat at my bed, she told me, “Hey wake up, we gotta get going. Our flight is at 3 am. Hurry up! We have been waiting for this trip!” I was so high from my deep sleep, and a second later, it sunk into my head that we were about to go to one of the most beautiful islands of our country. I have been longing to go there and been counting the days to see it, and I was so excited that I blurted out, shouting, “WE ARE GOING TO BATANES TODAY.” My sisters were shocked at my impulsive shout, but they took it as the excitement of what is about to happen that day. I packed and went to the airport. That day was my first time to ride an aeroplane, and I was very mesmerized by everything around me, wanting to save every detail of it in my memory so I can share the exact feelings vividly when I get to tell this story someday. While I was busy appreciating the moment, my sister asked me “hey, have you mentioned to mom that you are going to Batanes with us?” It was so funny that I was about to take my first journey and be gone for a week, and I have not even told my mom yet that I was going somewhere. That time, I just wished I were an adult who would not need to inform my parent about every action I am about to do. I felt so stupid that time, but the shame faded off when my mom understood me and wished me a great trip. And it was one of the most memorable trips in my life.

 

DARK AND GLOOMY


Midnight in a dark abyss, voices are creeping in, and lights are starting to flash harshly at my eyes. “Hey wake up, we gotta get going. Our flight is at 3 am. Hurry up! We have been waiting for this trip!” she said as she gasped at every oxygen in the room to finish her sentence like she has been waiting for this day to come. I feel empty and lightheaded until I stood up and processed every movement around me “WE ARE GOING TO BATANES TODAY.” I said. Not thinking straight. Some powerful energy is filling up my heart like I am about to explode silently. They stared at me like I am some mad person who shouts abruptly, but they let it pass and took it as a positive reaction of what the day has for us. I packed my things, trying to fight the drowsiness. We went to the airport, and I walked in a grey cloud as if everything seems unbelievable. It is my first time to ride a plane, and I shall treasure this moment. My sister interrupted me and said, “Hey, have you mentioned to mom that you are going to Batanes with us?” I failed to respond, but my face did the deed of being ashamed for not informing our mother about this trip. I called, and she understood it right away. She told me to have a great trip and great it was.

 

ANGRY AND PRICKLING


“Hey wake up, we gotta get going. Our flight is at 3 am. Hurry up! We have been waiting for this trip!”, who the hell wakes up at midnight on the weekend? I grumpily thought as I fight to stay awake in the middle of the night. Headache and dizziness came to me “WE ARE GOING TO BATANES TODAY.” My sisters stared at me and smiled subtly; I must have screamed in my head that they were able to hear it. Do not get me wrong I am excited, but who the hell schedule their travel at 3 am? I contemplated as I pack my things. I was silent on the whole trip to the airport still crabby for having not enough sleep. The thought of entering an airport and riding on a plane helped me to stay in a good mood it was a great moment to remember as my first time to ride an aeroplane. Suddenly my sister asked, “Hey, have you mentioned to mom that you are going to Batanes with us?” Oh crap, As I failed to respond, making it obvious that I have not done it. And no one in five of you had the concern to ask our mom on behalf of your youngest sibling? Whatever our mom loves me more than a lot of you. Besides, when something happens to me, mom’s gonna be mad to all of you. I thought as I reached for my phone and called my mom. I told her I am about to take off to Batanes for a week and she understood it and told me to have a great trip. A relief that she did not scold me.
