Nangyari ang hinihintay ko. Malakas na tumunog ang censor ng boutique nang lumabas ang stepmother ko na nakahawak ng handbag at dalawang paper bag.Tumingala siya, bumaling-baling sa paligid. The innocence in her eyes pushed the evil smile appear on my lips. Nang lumapit ang isang guwardiya sa kanya ay kitang-kita ko kung paano bumilog ang mga mata niya. Her shocked expression brought joy to my heart, especially when the manager, Mrs. Sandara, approached.Dahil medyo malayo ako ay hindi ko nasundan ang usapan. Lumapit ako at tuluyan silang narinig."I'm sorry but we need to inspect you, Ma'am," the manager apologetically said. "Kilala ko kayo at sa tingin ko ay hindi naman kayo magnanakaw, but the censor won't lie.""Fine." Ramdam ko ang frustration sa tinig ni stepmom. "Hindi naman ako tatakas. I will prove my innocence."Isa-isa niyang inilapag sa inspection area ang lahat ng hawak niya. Her body got scanned. As what I already know, the item is not hidden in her clothes.My vision m

People often say that they better die when they face a struggle they couldn't seem to overcome, or a tragedy that seems too impossible to endure.Life won't give people the challenges that are bigger than their power to overcome it. We may have limited capabilities, but we have unlimited determination. Perhaps, in my own point of view, when people think of giving up, that is because they lack of purpose.Setting a purpose or goal in life will be our drive to finish this longest ride. Think of it as a fun run. Life is a journey of fun and obstacles. In the process, you have people, you have the beauty of the world, yet when no one stayed, you are left with no choice but to take the run by yourself. You need to be stronger. You need to fuel your drive. Visualize the finish line, and it will be appearing before you could even notice it.I didn't fear death until it almost came. I realized that death is not something you could wish when life gets hard. Therefore, it's okay to fear death.

Napangiti ako nang makita ang umuusok at mukhang masarap na ulam sa ibabaw ng lamesa. I didn't have enough time to learn for another recipé so I made a sweet meat once again. I failed in the first try. I followed the same procedure, but this time, with the correct ingredients.Kumuha ako ng kutsarita at tinikman ito. Like what I perceived, it tastes good. It tastes like a sweet meat, thank you very much."Manang, the breakfast is ready. Tell Lord to come over."Agad namang tumalima si Manang Ymir. Narinig ko pa ang nga yabag niya paakyat ng hagdan bago ako dahan-dahang umupo at napatingin sa blangkong upuan ng asawa ko.Asawa ko.That sounds really weird and unrealistic. Sa isang katulad kong never nagkaroon ng love experience, everything is having a hard time to sink in.Last night, with his half-closed eyes and hoarse voice, he asked me to remove his coat for him. I obliged. Nang makahiga siya, tinanggal ko rin ang medyas niya at ang pang-itaas niyang damit. I made sure to make him

Nanginginig ang kamay ko habang nakatitig sa ika-pitong pahina ng magazine na hawak ko.Top Business Trends magazine issues articles about different companies or businesses every other two months, and this copy I have in my hands was released yesterday. Lord handed it to me this morning and told me that it is what they had been doing for days.La Villamorés' Real Estate Agency is the subject of TBT magazine's May and June issue. I am proud of Lord, yes, and this achievement almost made me tell him how proud I am. But, of course, I'm not going to let myself do that. Masyadong mahal ang papuri ng isang Heather Cassia.Every page is making me smile, until I flipped it on the seventh page where Bridgette and him are portrayed both. It is stated in here how good their partnership is. It includes narratives on how and when did they start to work together, the challenges they encountered and how they were able to face them, their achievements for over two years, and there's a single subtopic

Hindi naman nagtagal ay nadako sa aming direksiyon ang tingin ng dalawa. Mukhang hindi pa nila ako namukhaan agad, pero halatang nagulat sila nang marahil rumehistro na sa kanilang isipan kung sino ngayon ang babaeng nakatingin sa kanila.I can say that it's hard to secrete whatever chaos I have inside, but all my life I trained myself to conceal my emotions, and so I managed not to react a bit.Napansin ko ang pasimpleng pagtanggal ni Lord sa kamay ni Bridgette na nakasalikop sa kamay niya at lumapit sa amin. Sumunod naman ang malandi niyang arkitekto at pasimpleng ngumisi sa akin.Again, I didn't react. Tinanggal ko ang tingin sa kanila at muling sinipat ang aking pambisig na relo. Pero halos mapamura ako sa pagkadismaya nang makitang wala nga pala akong relo. Nawala.Sanay na kasi tayo. Iyon ang masakit.Bumuga ako ng hangin at piniling tumingin na lang ulit kay Daddy na ngayon ay kay Lord na nakaharap."Mr. Del Puerto," Lord formally acknowledge my father as he offered his hand fo
