Pageant

When I got back in Hongkong. I got an invitation for my first school pageantry. According to the letter it say 17-27 years old can join. I'm 5'6 at my young age. And my brothers are taller than me. Will, years will come I might get the same height level with them.

I don't usually go to school as a normal students does. I am home school most of my years and just go to school for my school competition or final exams if needed. That's how my life goes as I grow. I did not disagree about it. The truth is I'm okay. I understand what my dad is doing, for keeping me safe.

When my mom knows about the letter she's very supportive and helping me to do it. She was the former Miss Bohol. I grew up seeing her crown and telling me how happy she was and her feelings that's motivate me to do the things she didn't have. She got pregnant of me. That stops her dreams and makes herself a mother and she was proud.

So here I am right now meeting my pageant trainer.

" Hi grace, so ano handa kana sa iyong kauna-unahang pagsali? " Ayon niya.

He is muscular and very handsome. Now, this days it so hard to guest who are straight or not because seeing him would doubt your judgment parang si Sinon lang ang laki ng katawan pero kung rumampa na mas malambot pa sayo.

Thick eye brows, pouty lips pointed nose and bright eyes. Arrrgghhhhhh! He's a cutey.

I close my eyes for my dirty thoughts. For Christ sake he is my trainer and mom's bestfriend.

Don't get me wrong, it is just I appreciate his beauty. Yeap you read is right. He is gay.

"Earth to Grace! " He snapped at me.

I heard his finger snap.

Nahihiya ako sa sarili. Arrrgghhhhhh!

"Opo, kuya. " Magalang kong tugon. Namumula kung tugon sa kanya.

Nanlalaki ang kanyang mga matang nakatitig sa akin, "anong opo kuya! Magka edad lang kaya tayo. " He wink. Natatawang tugon nito.

Nahuli pa ata ako!

He noticed my stares and for Christ sake his age is doubled with mine, mahigit pa ata. Yeap, he likes to wear white gown too and he love to swayed his hips and put make up.

We bought laugh lightly. That makes my self comfortable.

"I remember when your mom join her pageant also, ang saya namin noon at kaloka nanalo siya. Kung hindi lang dahil sa daddy mo e 'di sana nasa Miss U na kami." He smile lightly.

My mom met my dad during his business trip and that time dad is single. He has 3 sons with his First deceased wife.

"You're prettier than your mom Grace. You are not even lookslike a Chinese. Maputi ka lang at mas nakuha mu pa kaninunuan ng nanay mo. "

Is it complement right? He chuckles. I see a sincerity in his eyes. I know my face is like tomato now. And he is right, I heard them openly.

I'm wearing a skintone tights pant and a crop top for me to walk comfortable. Ponytail hair and Six inches shoes. Yeap that's how he wants me to wear now.

" Gosh, Grace you have a perfect body. If I'm just straight I would definitely date you. Kaya lang hindi tayo talo. " Malakas nitong tawa. Nahawa na din ako.

"Okay, here we go. Stand tall, chin up. Pose.
Kamay sa balakang, sway, walk gracefully. Yong tipong nang aakit ka. Smile. Walk. Pose. Like that! " Noong sinunod ko bawat sinasabi niya.

Hindi pala madali tong ginagawa ng isang kontesira. Pero syempre lalaban ako dito. I want to be a queen. Sabi nga ni mommy sa buhay dapat alam mo kung anong gusto mo at hindi. Hindi naman lahat maaayon sa gusto mo subalit lahat ng iyon kung iyong gagawin malay mo maging sayo. I believe her.
