"Should I wear this or this?" Tanong ko kay Gale habang ipinapakita ang isang color white sleeveless body con dress na hanggang lampas tuhod ko at isang color pink flowy dress na above the knee.
"Ano bang mas trip mo?"
"Pag yung white kasi parang ang uncomfortable at parang ang trying hard ko naman to look good."
"How about the pink one?"
"Comfortable but di ba masyadong pa-sweet girl?" Nakakunot ang noo kong sagot.
I love going to parties, but one thing that I hate the most is yung pagpili ng tamang damit that will fit the event.
Sabay kaming bumuntong-hininga ni Gale at humiga nalang sa kama.
"Alam mo bang isang oras na tayong namimili ng damit mo?"
"One hour with you, pero kagabi pa ko naghahanap ng isusuot!" I shouted in frustration.
"What?" She looked at me in disbelief and I just nodded in response.
Umupo siya sa kama at tinignan ako sa mata.
"Alam mo ate, don't try hard to impress kuya loize, just be yourself. Wear what you wanna wear and it will look good naman as long as you're confident!"
I know naman that I shouldn't try hard, pero I also feel na I need to double my efforts for him to see me.
Napasinghap ako at kinuha ang pink dress.
"I'll wear this!"
"Great, binili natin yan together sa mall right? And you looked simple yet stunning in that dress!"
I hugged her tightly in return.
"You're my favee sister talaga!"
"Tayong dalawang lang yung magkapatid." Walang ganang sabi niya.
Humiwalay na ako sa pagkakayap sa kanya at kinuha ang white rubber shoes and white sandals.
"Pag white rubber, I'll look too casual pero pag---"
Napatigil ako sa pagsasalita and ngumiti ng malawak.
"I'll wear the sandals." Sabi ko at dumiretso na sa banyo para maligo.

"Talliah, nandyan na yung sundo mo!" sabi ni manang habang kumakatok sa kwarto.
Tumingin ako sa orasan and it's already 4:00 pm. Ang bilis naman ng oras!
"Let him in muna po!"
I looked at myself at the mirror, fix my hair, apply some lipstick, spray some perfume and done.
I grabbed my bag and phone sa table at bumaba na ng hagdan. Bakit ba ako kinakabahan?
Yung feeling na sinusundo ka ng prom date mo ganun!
"Tara na?" I casually said.
Noong binaling niya ang tingin niya sakin ay parang huminto ang tibok ng puso ko.
Do I look okay...because he looks damn fine right now!
He is wearing a white long sleeve polo that is slightly folded on the sleeves but not tucked in, pants, watch on his right wrist, slicked back hair and can I just scream right now because he is wearing his glasses?!
"Are you sure na wala ka ng naiwan?"
He looks like a character from a comic book.
"Talliah Grace?"
"Bakit ka naka-suot ng glasses?"
"I'll drive."
"May license ka?"
