Ano nga ba?
I didn't have a lot of sleep last night. Besides the fact that I slept on the couch and my plan of bedding Sheena last night failed, I just couldn't stop thinking about Sheenalyn Ybarra. Pakramdam ko kasi ay may koneksyon kaming dalawa at hindi ko maintindihan iyon.I sighed. I reminded myself that I have to get ready for the early client meeting today. Gusto ng mga American investors na libutin ang lugar para makita ang amenities ng Puerto Del Sol.But I'm thinking if I should really take Sheenalyn with me. She's a distraction. Her scent intoxicates my being."Good morning, Sir. What would you like to eat for breakfast?" Tanong niya sa akin nang lumabas na siya ng silid. Bihi na rin siya at mukhang handa na. She wore a white summer dress. Napansin kong may suot din siyang bathing suit sa loob. May hawak din siyang summerhat. Hinigit ko ang hininga ko. I really think that I should try the vibration thingy on that bed she slept in last night."Anything with delicious, wet, pinkish and

Two Wednesdays
Bend your chest open so I can read your heartI need to get inside, or I'll start a warWanna look at the pieces that make you who you areI wanna build you up and pick you up...I woke up that Wednesday morning with this irritating feeling again. Hindi pa rin ako sanay na hanggang ngayon ay nagigising at natutulog ako sa isang sala na wala man lang aircon o kahit isang electricfan. Nagtitiis akong matulog nang nakahubad at nakakulambo. Minsan ay sinubukan kong gumamit ng katol pero hinika naman ako, so I just settled in this fucking mosquito net. I shook my head.I checked the wall clock. Five forty-five nang umaga at kailangan kong pumasok sa trabaho ko sa hotel bago man lang sana mag-seven am. Wala akong kotse. Magco-commute lang ako at dahil uso ang traffic sa Pilipinas at hindi ako pwedeng ma-late ay binilisan ko ang kilos ko.Tulog pa ang mga tao sa kabahayan. I went straight to the bathroom to take a bath and get ready. Fifteen minutes na ligo lang ang ginawa ko. Matapos iyon a

Caught in the middle
Fairy tales are shit crap.I couldn't even think of a good word to describe a fairytale dahil para sa akin ang mga iyon ay pawing kasinungalingan lamang.

Nagkanda-hilo – hilo pa ako kakahanap ng spare key ng main door sa ilalim ng paso sa may entrance ng mansion. I thought that by now, Mom would be asleep because she knows that I was at my prom and maybe she was thinking that I was having the time of my life – but I was wrong.I found Mama in the living room. She was pacing back and forth. Her face was full of confusion, amazement and worry. Hindi naman ako makapagsalita."At prom, Mama." I answered her. Natigilan siya tapos ay muling nagsalita."I called Haley and she told me she saw you leaving early! Where the hell have you been?!" She growled. I must've awaken the dragon inside her."I was re-really at prom, Mama! Maaga lang akong umalis because my other classmates and I went to a private party. That's why she said she saw me leaving early.
