-ARCHIE-

I hate my father.

How can he say it so naturally? Does he not know the word "respect"? This can make him lose votes already.

And here he is again.

"Son, Can't you believe that man, so sensitive." My dad complained.

"Ba't may side comment ka pa? Don't you think it's too disrespectful" I replied back.

"Disrespectful? Are you talking back to me son?"

"Opo. You never care about other's feelings. What kind of father are you?"

"What kind of father am I? Anong feeling mo sa akin ah."

"Feeling ko sa yo? The most disrespectful man I've ever met."

"Wow. Alam mo, hindi mo mararating kung ano ka ngayon. Hindi ka magiging "Archie Pascual" kung wala ako."

"At sa tingin mo kailangan kita para maging successful?"

"I can't believe i raised an ungrateful son like you."

"And i can't believe i was raised by someone like you."

I hate being a Pascual.

Since i feel mad right now, I'll just go to my studio. My safe place.

I've finally finished a new song I've been working with for a while. It's called "Harana". Just like the old way of courting with a boy singing with his guitar, outside the window of the girl. I kind of also wrote it because of the trending, "Love Radio 14.2". Since they talk a lot about relationships. Please don't invite me there, Miss Kris Aquino.

Here is how the song goes.

Uso pa ba, ang harana
Marahil ikaw ay nagtataka
Sino ba tong, mukhang gaga
Nagkandarapa sa pagkanta
At nasisitunaso sa kaba

Mayron pang dalang mga rosas
Suot nama'y maong na kupas
At nariyan pa ang barkada
Naka-porma naka-barong
Sa awitting daig minus one at sing along

Puno ang langit ng bituin
At kay lamig pa ng hangin
Sa 'yong tingin ako'y nababaliw giliw
At sa awitin kong ito
Sana'y maibigan mo
Ibubuhos ko ang buong puso ko
Sa isang munting harana, para sa yo
(Original song by: Parokya ni Edgar)

Romantic right? Well, it's for the feels. I know for myself that politics is not for me. Even if my dad would force me with all his might. I'll always go back to music.

"Mr. Pascual, may nagtawag sa yo po."

Here we go again.

"Anak, i heard what happened to you and your father." My mom told me, concerned.

"Mom look, hindi ko talaga alam kung bakit siya ganyan. Can't he respect?" I complained.

"Alam, dapat iwanan na lang natin ang tatay mo. kung ganyan ang ugali niya hayaan mo na siya. at least hindi mo kasalanan diba?"

"Yes, ma."

I'm glad my mom is there to understand me. You can call me a Mama's boy and I'll be proud.

One thing that I'm annoyed of though is that she ships me with Alora. Yep, that's right. Alora Diaz. She even made a ship name! What was it? ArLora? Disgusting.

But real talk, will Alora release a new song too?

This is going to be another competition if she does.... I hope so!
