Its been 2 years now since I came back from Los Angeles. As usual, ako nanamang mag isa ang naiwan sa bahay. My mom was early for work, papsy is still on vacation and my crazy brother was out since yesterday with his friends.
"Hay Plummy, you've gained too much weight! Sabi ko na nga ba't mali ang ipagkatiwala ka kay Anita. Parehas na kayong parang aatakihin", i crazily said to my 1 year old siberian husky na muka na ngayon pug sa taba.
I started my daily routine everytime I'm here in Cagayan. Work out first thing in the morning, breakfast with Plummy or if anyone in the house is around then I'm gonna text some of my friends to hang out. Woo! I still can't believe I'm back for good!
Lucky it is na pinayagan ako ng Mama Belle na umuwi ngayong summer. Dahil don, may time pakong mag escapade before school days come. Although namimiss ko na ang college friends ko, gusto ko ding ienjoy muna ang heat of summer tutal naman ay after this, kami na ulit ang magkakasama lagi.
"Good morning Manong Jonie, pahatid naman po sa mall", buti nalang hindi si Manong Jonie ang sinamang driver ni Papa sa Amanpulo kundi commute ako. Not like I don't like our other drivers, I just prefer Manong Jones cause he's like my tito na since elem sya na ata ang driver namin!
"Ma'am Margaux! Welcome back, ang tagal ko din po kayong hindi nahahatid. Iintayin po ba kayo o babalikan na lang?"
"No Manong Jonie, I'm gonna meet up with my friend, ihahatid nya ko pauwi mamaya."
"Okey po Ma'am, handa ko na po ang sasakyan".
Hah! Friend my ass. I'll be alone in the mall. I just like to go home later riding a taxi. Namiss ko yata ang scenery dito sa Cagayan. Bet kong pumunta later sa park at kung magpapasundo ako kay Manong Jonie, malamang sa malamang ay malaman nina Mama. Edi pagagalitan ako. I don't know. Those guys just don't want me going to park for some reason i don't know.
I look at my reflection in my mirror and I guess I look just fine. Haha? I wear a crop top and maong shorts matching it with flat rubber shoes. Oh I look like a typical high school kid. Well, madaming nagsasabi na muka akong bata and I take that as a compliment kaya bagay naman sakin ang gantong style I guess?
Nilunod ko ang sarili ko sa pakikinig ng music habang papaunta ng mall. Since malapit lang naman ito samin, kulang 10 mins lang ay naihatid na ako.
I waved good bye to Manong Jonie and I got excited sa mga pamimilin ko today.
Wahhh! I planned to decorate my room thats why I'm here. But first I must grab a meal. Coffee and bread lang ata ang inumagahan ko kanina kaya naririnig ko na ang tyan kong nagrereklamo.
"Hi. May I order one lasagna and iced coffee. Pahingi na ring water. Thank you".
"Oh yes Ma'am. Our water po is self service. You can find it at the corner Ma'am. Yun lang po lahat?", says the lady in a nice uniform.
"Okay thank you.", inabot ko ang card ko at aalis na sana nang sumabit ang cardigan ko sa kung ano sa aking likod.
I got embarassed cause what the hell!!!?? I spring back at napasandal sa harap ng kung sino sa likod ko.
"Ohh sorry, your clothes's stuck with my zipper", napatulala ako sa narinig. I know for sure kung kanino nanggaling ang boses na yon. Pero why? Why again? For goodness sake!
