What wakes her is the rumble of a jeepney coming to life in the ungodly hours of the morning, marking the start of her day. After waking up, she'd crawl towards the portable stove, preparing 2 sardines, a bowl of rice and soy sauce. The pungent aroma would wake the little ones who'd devour their last meal for the day before hastily putting on their uniform. A flurry of hugs would commence before they would run to school, leaving their ate a head of a sardine and a spoonful of rice, wishing that she can go to school too.
