Luca Goes To The Philippines

The Paruparo Family

There was a big house that was placed near the streets. It has a red roof with unpainted cemented walls and many windows. The house was also surrounded by fences made of hollow blocks, and a wooden gate with metal locks. Outside of the house was so peaceful and quiet, but inside...

A sound of glass breaking came from inside the house.

Inside the house, it was peaceful and serene...for the moment, as it looked beautiful. The first thing that could easily be seen was the massive living room, with beautiful white walls, and a shiny brown wooden floor. In the middle, there was a small, low table with a purple vase on it. In front of the table was a little gray TV, with wires connected behind it, and metal antennas on top. The TV was off at the moment, but something soon would come along and turn it on to put on a show of great interest to watch. Across the tv and the small table was a long tan couch big enough to hold 7 family members. Next to the couch to its right was an archway that was big enough so everyone, no matter how tall or short they were, could reach the stairs at the other side of the living room wall, and easily climb up the steps to reach the bedroom upstairs. Between the living room and the kitchen was supposed to be the dining room area, though it was only a small space. There was a large and long wooden dining table, with about 12 wooden chairs to match, a lovely tan tablecloth, and in the middle, resting in a glass case, a bunch of red, lovely flowers. Right beside the dining table was a large wooden trophy case, where inside, seeable through the clear glass windows, were dozens of different medals, trophies, and other awards that shined under the light of each awardee..., except one that was empty. Next to the trophy case were 4 rifle guns that were used in the army during World War II. Across the dining table and at the left side of the couch was a little drawer that had black handles, and a bunch of picture frames of the Paruparo family. And on top of the living room, hanging from the ceiling, was a shiny white chandelier with lights bright enough to light up the whole front of the home if they ever needed extra light. In the middle of both the living room and what looked like a kitchen was a large and long divider made out of bamboo and nipa that separated both rooms, but still enabled easy access to enter and exit both rooms as well. Finally, on the other side of the divider was the kitchen, and already something very delicious could be smelled without needing to enter it. The kitchen also had matching white walls, and cemented green floor that looked really neat. The wooden counters all looked very sturdy, like nothing could break them, as the scent of food being prepared on them luminated for a while. There was also a large metallic silver stove with sturdy black turn-able handles to turn on each section of the stove, and below it was connected with a liquefied petroleum gas tank. Next to the stove was the sink, where the people cooking could clean their dishes and hands. And finally, next to the counter to the right was the family refrigerator, and the one at the left was the dish rack where they place their clean plates and glasses.

This peaceful beautiful house wasn't exactly peaceful as it was described since one of the vases fell, and broke into pieces.

A 19-year-old female Filipino with short, slightly-curled hair stood up, revealing her clothes to have a green blouse with a red butterfly mark on the center and blue-plaid skirt, and shouted at her older brother, "Give me back my diary, Kuya Boyet!"

A 20-year-old male Filipino with short greaser hair, wearing a black buttoned shirt with a white butterfly mark on the left, and blue pants, grabbed a blue notebook that was presumably to be his sister's diary, "You have to get it, Imelda!"

"That's it! You're gonna pay!" Imelda yelled.

"You gotta catch me first!" Boyet laughed, but his sister charged into him, wanting to retrieve her diary, causing the two to fight.

Another male Filipino, 16 years old, who has bob cut hair, wearing glasses, white buttoned lab coat with a black butterfly at the right, and orange pants, was sitting down against a wall, surrounded by many science, math, and history books. While he was reading one of his history books, this boy's name was shown on the front cover, and revealed to be Jayjay, "Ooh, the hand-to-hand combat sport, also known as wrestling, was invented 15 000 years ago! Interesting. I should've known math is the oldest sport. How would I know? Math is not a sport!"
