I was nervous, afraid to sleep... Or wake up if this was a dream.
I've had those before, you know.
Tired of the repeating day, I take a nap, and dream of breaking free, of waking up to a new morning...
I hear a knock at my door.
"Come in."
The door opened and my younger sister came in.
"Hey bro~ can I have your cake in the fridge?"
"Sure, it's all yours," I said smiling.
"Ugh! What's up with you? You usually go 'No you can't, you little goblin!' and I eat it anyway."
"Hahaha! Yeah, I remember that..." I chuckled as I reminisced.
"That happened just last week. Of course you'd remember it." She stared at me with a weirded out face.
"Well, regardless, you can have the cake."
30 years of eating the same cake... Well, I actually got sick of it long before that.
"Hmmm.... Whatever. Thank you big bro~" she said as she closed the door.
She went on that short trip with mom... Our little bickering became pleasant memories for me to visit.
Now, let's start planning for tomorrow...
As much as I would like to go back to a normal life, and while of course I need to finish school, 30 years is a long time to pretend to be a teenager again.
First things first; Money...
"Time loops are harder to use to your advantage than time traveling stories..." I said out loud while scrolling through my phone.
Then I saw a post...
[COOKING CONTEST! Cash Prize: ₱100,000.00]
Mom left me some money for food to last until she got back. It wasn't a lot, just enough...
Once I got bored of eating takeout, I started cooking for myself — watching videos online, reading cooking blogs. I even once spent the whole budget a few times to buy cooking masterclasses...
I have 30 years of experience cooking dishes. Heck, I even mastered a few Michelin Star recipes...
This is going to be easy!
I registered, and laid down on my bed.
"Which recipe to use? Better play it safe and make THAT one..." I said while dozing off.
Tomorrow it starts...
