"Wow! Amy, is this Philippines?" I asked while looking outside the window of Tita Shanty's van. Siya kasi ang sumundo sa amin, together with Tito Ryle.
"Haha! Yeah, baby." Amused na amused siya sa akin. Philippines is so foreign. Maganda rito, but I still need time to adjust. Syempre, nami-miss ko pa rin ang Italy. 'Tsaka marami pa akong hindi alam sa bansang ito. Mabuti na lamang at marunong ako mag-Tagalog.
"May club dito?" I asked Amy silently, iniiwasan na marinig ni Mommy or ni Shaun. Amy chuckled while looking at me.
"My friend, Mattheo, owns a bar." Humagikhik siya, kumunot naman ang noo ko. That name was somehow familiar to me. I don't know why?
"Who's that?" I asked.
"Tanungin mo si Ate Shanel, she knows him. Anak siya ni Ate Xyle na best friend ni Ate Shanty at ate-atehan din ni Ate Shanel noon." Kumunot ang noo ko.
"You mean, Xyreil Anne Mendoza?" I asked. She nodded swiftly.
"How did you know her?" tanong niya at tumingin sa labas ng sasakyan.
"Oh, I'm friends with Lauren. She never mentions about her brother." Napangisi ako. Gwapo rin kaya ang Mattheo na 'yon?
Nakarating kami sa bahay namin dito sa Pilipinas, Mom descended the van. Tuloy-tuloy lang siya kahit na nag-o-offer si Dad ng help.
That's Mom, I can't understand her though. Dad's a great man, why can't she appreciate him?
Napansin ata ni Dad ang masama kong tingin kay Mom, nginitian niya ako bago ilahad ang kamay sa harap ko. I smiled too as he assists me.
"Thank you, Daddy." I smiled sweetly, he then tapped my shoulder with a small smile.
"Pagpasensyahan mo na ang kapatid ko, ha? Excited lang siguro 'yon dahil ngayon na lang siya ulit nakauwi ng Pilipinas," Tita Shanty said with a smile. She looked at Shaun, and then she looks at me with an amused look.
"Love." Bumaba si Tito Ryle mula sa driver's seat. Hindi pa talaga kami nakakapag-usap, hindi nga siguro nila napansin na kasama ako. Bigla siyang napatingin sa akin. "Shanel?" 'Yan na naman po tayo sa Shanel thing na 'yan!
"Gagu! Si Shanice 'yan! Anak nila Aldrich at Shanel." Nagulat kami nang batukan ni Tita Shanty si Tito Ryle. Geez! Malakas din 'yon. Sinamaan agad siya ng tingin ni Tito Ryle at natawa lang si Tita. Ang cool!
"Nagbangayan pa, tara na sa loob!" sabi ni Tita Sharly. Hinila na ako ni Amy na excited na excited.

After I took a bath, I wore a white bathrobe. Nag-make up na rin ako at nag-ayos ng buhok. I am currently choosing the attire that I'll wear. Alam kong ako na lang ang hinihintay nila dahil sa mga kaartehan ko sa buhay. Pero hindi talaga ako makapili ng isusuot. There were too many dresses that I want to wear.
Do you know that feeling? When you are going somewhere; the weather and the situation is just so perfect that you could really choose dozens of outfits that will complement the details but you can't just wear them all?
"Shanice?" I was surprised when Mom suddenly entered my room. She's mad at me, I can see that. "It's already 6, why aren't you dressing up pa?!" Ang usapan kasi namin ay 5:30, but here I am, still confused about what I should wear.
"I can't choose," I said while looking at the dresses that are hanging on my closet. I looked at Mom, she's looking elegant with her black fitted dress and white stilettos. She's also wearing her gold jewelries that made her even more elegant.
