"How do you know if you like someone?" I asked Agatha. May tutorial ba o librong nabibili para rito? May checklist ba para masiguro mo?
Nakapangalumbaba ako sa mesa habang titig na titig sa kapeng nasa harap ko. I asked Agatha to meet me here in Exchange Alley. I slept really late and woke up super early. I need caffeine in my system if I want to get by the day.
Sobrang pag-iisip ang iniwan sa akin ni Austin kagabi. Grabe na ang epekto niya sa akin parang hindi na totoo.
"Georgina," mariing tawag ni Agatha sa akin kaya inangat ko ang tingin ko sa kanya. "Oh, gosh. You're starting to like Javi na, 'no?"
"I don't know... Kaya nga nagtatanong sa'yo, e," sagot ko.
"Taray naman. Ba't mo
ExclusiveSabay na dumating si Agatha at Inigo."Hindi pa talaga kayo niyan, ah?" panunukso ni Agatha habang nakahawak sa jacket na suot ko. Hindi ko na lang pinatulan pa ang sinabi niya.Nang makapasok kami sa loob ay agad kaming dumiretso sa table na walang umuokupa. Nagpaalam din saglit si Austin na pupunta muna sa mga blockmates niya na nasa kabilang banda.Mayroong malawak na bakanteng espasyo sa gitna ng field. Siguro'y doon ang dancefloor mamaya. Sa palibot ang mga table at upuan. Mayroon namang stage sa unahan. May mga naka set-up din na instruments."Ang ganda ng lights," kumento ni Agatha. I agree with what she said. The whole place is beautiful because of the lights around."Ia
Told YouNitong mga nakaraang araw ay naging abala kaming lahat dahil balik na sa normal ang takbo ng klase. Some of our professors even dumped so many outputs to be submitted before the semester ends. Two weeks na lang ay finals week na.Balik training na rin si Austin kaya hindi ko na siya madalas nakakasama. He's also really busy with his studies. He's in his fourth year in engineering so most of his subjects are already major which requires a lot of studying time.Hindi pala talaga biro iyong subjects nila. One time, na-wrong send siya sa'kin ng isang file. Nang binuksan ko iyon, halos dumugo ang ilong ko sa mga nabasa ko... Nakakalula na mas marami pa 'yong numbers at graphs kaysa sa words."Nasagutan n'yo ba 'yong bonus questions?" tanong ni Agatha. Katatapos lang ng quiz
Possessive"Your Lola will be home for the holidays this year," Dad announced. We're currently having our brunch outside. We just attended the Sunday morning mass."Dito o sa Davao, Dad?" tanong ni Kuya Van."Here. Richard, Aline and the kids will just go here."Now, I'm excited. Last year, hindi namin nakasama sina Tito for Christmas kasi kasama nila iyong family ni Tita Aline. This year, we're all going to be together."When's the end of your semester?" asked Mom."Sa December 20 sa amin ni Kuya, Mom. Sina Aspen mas maaga siguro," sagot ko at lumingon sa kapatid ko. Iba naman kasi ang schedule of exams ng senior high school sa college."Ours
Stop WorryingAng ingay pala kapag magkasama sina Austin, Jaco at Pax. Inigo seemed to be close to them, too. Sabagay, they share common things.Nanatili lang ako na tahimik habang kung anu-ano ang pinag-uusapan nila. Sinasabay naman nila ako sa usapan pero mas pinipili kong manahimik.Kanina pa kami tapos kumain. Umiinom na lang ako sa apple juice na binili ko."You want to go somewhere else after?" Austin asked.Napaisip naman ako doon. I badly want to unwind. I've been so worn out this week."I want to eat ice cream..."He smiled at me. "Alright. We'll get you ice cream."Ang alam ko may trainin
CarefulWell...I think luck is not on my side. Lola's first words when she talked to me as we picked her up at the airport this morning was: "Georgina, please invite Javier Uvero for lunch tomorrow."I seriously don't know if Lola just have this super sharp memory or if one of my brothers tattled. Napapaisip tuloy ako kung hindi ba sapat iyong suhol ko sa kanila...Katatapos lang namin kumain ng dinner at nag-iisip ako kung paano ko ba sasabihin kay Austin na gusto siyang imbitahan ni Lola bukas. Feeling ko naman okay lang 'yon sa kanya kasi nagawa nga niyang harapin sina Mom. Pero iba talaga kapag si Lola, e...I left him a message.Georgina Meredith Sy: Hi. Are you free tomorrow lu
Miss"We already gave you the permission, Austin. Guess it'll be up to Gia and maybe Mama, too," Dad said. My parents are both smiling. Even Tito Richard and Tita Aline."Learn from him, Spence. Ikaw din Aspen. That's how you do it," rinig kong sabi ni Tyler. He's pertaining to what Austin did. Kuya Van agreed, too. Naging maingay naman sila dahil doon.I don't know what to feel. Everything's so overwhelming."You got my approval, hijo. I'm not sorry for the questions but I hope you don't nurse a grudge against me because of that?" Lola said and that sparked laughter from their end.Austin chuckled, too. "Hindi po. I completely understand."I stood up from my chair. My family turned their
DrunkIt's Austin's birthday.I spent the whole morning looking for a gift. Mamayang gabi pa iyong party sa bahay nila. I asked my brothers and cousins what's the best gift to give and they all just gave me extreme and weird answers.Sabi ni Tyler, bigyan ko raw ng ticket papuntang US para makanuod ng golf tournament na sinasalihan din ng ilang sikat na NBA players. Sabi ni Kuya Van, Aspen at Esther, sagutin ko na raw si Austin. Spencer suggested that I should play basketball with Austin and let him win. As if I stand a chance against him? I know the technicalities of basketball but I don't play.Sabi naman ni Austin basta pumunta lang ako sa party niya okay na. Pero gusto ko pa rin siya bigyan ng regalo. Halos malibot ko ang buong mall kanina sa paghahanap. In the end, I got hi
DrunkI was silently eating my food when someone spoke to me. It's Austin's eight year-old cousin. She's the youngest one here."Ate, you are so pretty. Kuya Austin said you are Chinese but you don't have singkit eyes," she said."You are so pretty, too. I have Chinese blood but I don't look singkit because I inherited most of my Mom's features," I said and smiled at her. She's so cute!"Ate Gia is talented, too. She's so good at painting and photography," Inigo said.What? Is he complimenting me just so I'd forget about his drunken moment? No way."Really? Can you take a good picture of me?" she asked and turned to her mom to ask for a camera.
