dear diary,

it's been a while since i wrote here! before, everyday ko ginagawa but these past few days is very dull for me. i don't have much to say or to write. anyway, i'm here to tell you about my day yesterday! it was good to meet new people! i appreciate yvez's friends so much! sobrang approachable ni gene, kahit ilang beses niya ako kino compliment at nahihiya na ako. but she's so good at talking and socializing with other people. siguro 'yon 'yung bagay na hindi ko magawa gawa because since then i enjoy my own company and i don't have much to say talaga sa mga tao around me. i'm still working on my social skills.

back when i was in grade school to high school, i'm so shy to recit on the class. there was a time that i had to take remedial class on my history subject because my teacher in school gave me 70 grade, her reason naman is because i didn't participate on her class which i understand it. but i'm still a kid back then, i'm wrong but it didn't get them a right to gave me low grade when in fact i'm good at math and science! i will never forget mrs. velasco for being bad at me!

anyway, gene's name is genevieve pala. her cousin flocked on our table yesterday and wants to know my phone number, but yvez shoo them away because of it. i politely told them na hindi ako nagbibigay ng number ko and i'm not really interested to boys dahil alam ko naman 'yung ganoon na motive, tati told me before na kapag may gusto kumuha ng num ko especially guys. i need to decline it and be polite to refused them, alam na alam niya raw ganoon ang galawan ng mga lalaking dumadamoves. i didn't understand it before, but now, i finally understood her point.

gene asked me about my age, my status in life, my favorite color, my fav food, my skin care routine, my full name, my social media accounts and many more. yvez even stopped her from asking me so many questions but i let her naman kase it's rude naman to not answer her basic questions. hindi naman siya nagtanong sa akin na ma o-offend ako. i'm glad that she didn't ask about my other information! she was busy with her other relatives after that. i enjoy eating carbonara! i kind missed my comfort food! hindi na ako nakakapag luto ng ganito because of my expenses.

meanwhile, sinabi sa akin ni gene na third year college na sila and current a bs accountancy student. it is their pre law course, may balak daw kase siyang mag law school along with nolan and wilfred. then sinabi niya na wala raw balak pa mag law school si yvez, bukod sa mahal ang tuition gusto niya pa rin may time siya sa lola niya. she didn't tell me more about yvez plan, sabi niya ako na raw umalam non. she even whispered to me na secretive raw si yvez, some of them still don't know what he really wants in life. i can't help but to relate myself to him, i mean i don't know what to do in my life also aside from enjoying my teenage life.

after the talk, nag pauwi na rin ako kay yvez kase i need to go home early pa because i have my work tomorrow. i still need to clean my house or take a rest, i want to stay longer but i know it will only exhaust myself more. i enjoy talking with them, but there are times that it drains me and i appreciate that they've not questioned my sudden leave. they asked for my social media accounts and i politely gave them, we exchange our phone numbers after we left.

i'm happy to meet them, finally, because i don't have much close friends in this city. i will tell my girls about this! i already missed them, i still don't have time to chat them or even my parents. baka magtampo na sila, i think i need to talk to them twice in a week or even update my whereabouts.

love, barbara.
