I flip a page, and a spark of magic happened, it's year 2011, everything was so nostalgic, from waking up late and rushing for an early school schedule to being late on an early flag ceremony.

I flip once again, and there I was sitting on my rusty chair with this friend of mine, wide smiles flashing as we talk about our favorite drama, then suddenly a cute lil guy passed by. The exact same feeling has been felt once again.
I stared back at my friend and saw her teasing laughter, as a shy smile quickly escape on my blushing face. She knew exactly why I was smilling, and Since then No one knew about my crush, except her.
For the first time I learned how to trust.

I flip another and there I was standing in front of the class, I can't Fathom the anxiousness I felt as I saw different gazes that was now pinned on mine. A tall man continuesly asked difficult questions that I can't answer, luckily these friends of mine were on my side, both whispering answers.
Stuttering, I answered, what a relief I got it right, thanks to these 2 angels.

Another flip, it was an ordinary lazy afternoon when this friend of mine suddenly barge in and say "hey let's go to the canteen!" Which I vigorously declined, and there she was spitting the magic word with a smirk "I'll treat you" as she drag me out of the room. We were about to go back when we saw a familiar shadow. Woa! It was her crush. I saw how her eyes lit from a far, then she looks back at me, I teased her until she smile wide. For the first time I learned how to tease without the fear that someone might got offended.

I took another flip, and there I was gigling with my friend, she's whispering as she tells a secret/story on what had happend and what she felt, the story seems so pure and sincere, how wish I could eavesdrop with that story once again but there I was silently staring at my younger self gigling. Finally, At once she felt trusted and valued.

Another random flip, and there I was nervously entering the mall, as I saw my friends waving our movie tickets, it was my first time being on a cinema only accompanied by my friends. It was great! The anxiousness subsides as I went inside with them, we shared laughters and giggles together as we smash each other every exciting parts of the movie. Genuine happiness indeed.

Another flip, enticing smell of the foods are now floating in the air, Smiles and gifts are everywhere,Christmas party! We played different games and shared vigorous laughters and teasings. everyone seems so happy and so do I. My friends and I exchange wonderful gifts, I got some even to the person I'm not really closed with.

And Another flip, woa lights flasing, it was so euphoric,summer of 2011, the day we saw our favorite artists, everyone was shouting in unison as happiness floats in the air.
Trio who shared different personas yet got united by them, their favorite artists.

The Last flip, march 30, 2011, the last day, everything was finalized from the clearances to the final examinations and There we are sitting at the hallway whispering and giggling about our secrets. For the last time we bid goodbyes and see you next year!. This positive and hopeful heart mine never been bothered about next year, it was full of hope that she and her other friends would still be together on the following year.
But unfortunately things will not always fall back the way we want it to be.

We probobly aren't together now, our paths were barely crossed and even if it does, it wasn't the same anymore.
Pieces of paper that holds thousands of precious and wonderful memories of us together will always be here.
In just a flip I can go back to the way we are before, were I can decipher the exact feeling and excitement.

It was it, it was My time machine.
My diary.
