LOGINBeing diagnosed of having social anxiety at the young age was very hard for Phitrice. After witnessing her beloved parent's death she became aloof to everyone and nightmares had been visiting her every night. Attending psychiatric therapy was the only way her sister think to make her back into Phitrice that they used to know. While in her way out to the psychiatric building, she met Santi, the guy who easily captured her attention. She thought things may go easily for them but not on the day she got bumped into a senior member of sorority in their campus and Santi just announced them as a couple. May this set up help her when in just a snap her existence receive a lot of unusual attention? Or it will make her condition get worst since she's starting to develop the strange emotion that her condition prevent her to feel?

Binaba ng kaunti ni Santi ang windshield ng sasakyan just to show his middle finger kay Yassi tapos tinaas iyon ulit. Napatampal na lang ako sa noo ko dahil sumasakit na ang ulo ko sa kanila. Kanina pa kasi sila nag-aaway dahil ayaw isama ni Santi si Yassi sa lakad namin sa Amusement Park. Pati ako ay hindi na nakapasok sa loob ng sasakyan dahil sa trip niya. “Isa! Kapag hindi mo ‘to binuksan isusumbong kita kay mama!” sigaw ni Yassi. Parang maiiyak na ito anytime dahil sa kalokohan ni Santi. It’s already 10:00 AM when I arrived in their place to fetch them. Naabutan ko pa sila na nag-aaway and the rest is history. Basta they ended up like this. Lalapitan ko na sana sila para sawayin ng may biglang lumapit rin na babae sa sasakyan. It was a
"Phitrice, is there any problem?"Nagtatakang napatingin alo kay ate ng marinig ko ang boses niya. I just didn't realize that I was staring at my food and I didn't even touch it."Hindi mo pa ginagalaw ang pagkain mo. May problema ba?" Ate Patrice asked.Naghe-hesitate pa ako kung sasagutin ko ba siya o hindi. Nakakahiya kung sasabihin ko na iniisip ko 'yong kiss ni Santi sa akin kanina. Hanggang ngayon tinatanong ko pa rin ang sarili ko kung bakit hindi ako nag-react. Baka isipin na ng jerk na 'yon na nagustuhan ko ang ginawa niya."W-wala naman. Iniisip ko lang 'yong about sa... pageant," I lied."Buti naman. I thought naging ganyan ka na naman dahil binu-bully la ulit. Anyway..." She paused to set aside her plate. "How's your preparation for the pageant?""Okay naman. Santi and Yassi was always accompanying me kaya medyo nasasanay na ako,
"Ano na 'yon?"Umupo ako sa gilid ng fountain at hinintay siyang magsalita. I saw him scratched his head. He seems nervous in front of me so I just let him get some courage. Baka importante naman siguro ang sasabihin niya. I don't think na may binabalak na 'tong masama sa akin."Ano kasi..." He paused to took a deep breath. "...magpapatulong ako sa'yo. Balak ko sanang ligawan si Yassi," sabi niya."Seriously?" My eyes widen on what I heard. Alam ba 'to ni Yassi?"I know inakala mong kursonada kita dahil sa inasal ko. Gusto ko lang inisin si Santi para pumayag na siyang ligawan ko 'yong utol niya. I'm losing hope with him kaya naisip kong sa'yo na lumapit para kumbinsihin si Santi," paliwanag niya."So si Yassi pala like mo?" tanong ko kahit alam ko naman ang sagot. He looks like a kid that asking his mom for a gift. "What will I do? I'm not that person na kaya kang i-
I used to loved being compliment by others. Kahit sino naman ay gugustuhin makatanggap ng gano'n. I want to look the best in front of my parents. I want to look perfect and do things perfectly to deserve the love they give me. Pero dati na 'yon. After that acccident, nagbago na ang lahat. I convulsed, inaatake ng hika ko, binabangungot and worst nawawalan nalang ng malay pagkatapos no'n. I lived my life being alone for 8 years. Nilayo ko ang sarili ko sa iba habang pilit na lumalaban sa sakit na 'to. Kinulong ko ang sarili ko sa kwarto ko kahit aware akong naghihintay saakin sila ate. Sa loob ng 8 years, nawala 'yong dating ako. Hindi ko alam kung kailan babalik 'yon. But I secretly thanking god bacause he sent someone that I can rely on. It brings back the hope inside me that someday I could live a normal life. I w
