When I came back here in Villahermoso, there are only two things that I really wanted to.

One, is to finish my last two years of highschool here.

Second, is to move on.

I came back not because I want to, it's because I need to. I need to take a break about everything and to fully accept the decisions I made in my life.

Living in the States was fine--that is if bullies we're not a big issue there. I actually don't mind them calling me 'pig', I really don't mind.

But then, I never knew what 'insecurity' means not until I turned 12 where puberty hits and I now understand what other people thinks about me.

I knew I have to do something.

And so I made one of the toughest decision in my life, to lose weight.

I know it was worth it kasi pati nga si Wesley ay halos hindi ako makilala.

I changed physically.

But mentally, the pain was still there.

I was just sketching by the sea with some random dude named Rhys that I just met here on this resort (also sketching a certain girl), when I saw Wes from the far distance with her now grown-up sisters and a girl that is so familiar, but I still can't tell.

Tumakbo ako papunta sa gawi nila at saktong ngang si Wesley 'yun.

"Wesley!" I shouted and of course, he immediately looked at my way.

"Uy! Andyan ka pala!"

Nang makalapit na ako sa cottage nila ay hindi ko mapigilang mapansin ang babaeng kasama niya.

Nang makalapit ako sakanya, don ko siya talagang na-pamilyaran.

Siya yung babaeng palaging naka-tambay sa tabing-dagat. Siya yung nakita kong babae doon sa karaokehan. Siya din yung nasa Don Kape noong bumili ako ng suman.

"Mari, ito yung gusto kong ipakilala" sabi ni Wes don sa babae at may binulong pa.

I reached out my hand to her "Hi, I'm Yuan"

There was a long pause before she reached my hand as well. But she was just staring at me.

No, she didn't stare at me.

She's staring at my arm full of healing scars.

'Nahalata ba niya? Stupid, bakit ba kasi ako nag sleeveless?'

"Ah . . . eto ba? Don't worry, kalmot lang to ni Lili! She's a cat and--"

Napatigil ako sa mga palusot ko nang ngitian niya lang ako. It feels like her smile is telling me 'I know how you feel'
