For the past 9 years in college, and high school, I have tried so hard to devote myself in my studies, for me to be able to get the people's attention and also to be known as a beauty & brain young lady in our campus. Everything should be proper from head to toe because I, as the face of the school, should always look representable.

In my 5 years in college I took up and studied medicine, although it was hard, I managed to get onto the top and be a magna cum laude. I am proud of what I have achieved but something is still missing.

Well, I won't hide the fact that I am still one of those girls who wants to have someone to lean on or so-called "boyfriend".

You see, gaya rin nila, gusto kong magkaroon ng nobyo kahit hindi ako naniniwala sa forever, pero I always end up being a supporter in other people's forever, ano nga ba naman ang magagawa ko kung na sa kanila naman yung lalakeng gusto ko? Those guys that I have liked or i was interested to, always end up either with my family member like cousin or sister or to my friends, very cliche right? You know, I never dreamed to be a pathetic girl who would ruin their 'forever' so I will just support them all the way. Masakit nga naman yung hindi mapili right?

I can really say that us, humans, have this habit of falling in love to the people we cant have or even a hobby of being tanga. And i'm one of a hella living proof.

Mag-aanim na taon na nung nagsimula itong unrequited love ko sa mga lalaking nakakatuluyan ng mga pinsan at kaibigan ko.

Naaalala ko pa noon na may isa akong kaklase na nagustuhan ko talaga, his name was Eamon John Santos and i really liked him kasi sobrang tangkad niya, gwapo, mabait at malambing sa akin, napapansin ko naman na hindi niya ganoon tratuhin iyong iba pa naming kaklase na babae. I really thought that I was special to him, i almost loved him though, but to find out I only assumed, because the day that I was about to confess my feelings to him , he also told me about his feelings towards someone. I almost jumped because of happiness because i expected that i was that 'someone'. It is still crystal clear on what he had told me.

Kinakabahan at pinagpapawisan ako habang papalapit sa kanya, medyo masaya din dahil sa wakas masasabi ko na. Hindi ko inalintana ang init ng araw habang tinatawid ko ang daan papuntang covered court kung saan sila nagba-basketball ng iba pa naming kaklaseng lalake. Alam kong mukha akong tanga sa gagawin ko dahil ako itong babae, ako pa ang unang aamin, anong magagawa niyo eh sa prangka akong tao eh!

Nang makarating ako sa covered court ay agad ko silang nakita ng mga kalaro niya na masaya nang nag uusap, siguro'y tapos na ang kanilang laro. Hindi nagtagal ay napansin niya ako.

"Uy! Monay!" tawag niya sa akin

Bahagya akong umirap dahil sa tinawag niya sa akin, hindi naman ako mataba sa tingin ko pero matataba daw pisnge ko kaya palagi nilang kinukurot at dahil rin dun ay tinatawag nila akong monay dahil mukha daw tinapay, at malalaki din daw yung mga braso ko kaya nakasanayan na ng mga kaibigan ko na pisilin o kurutin ang mga iyon at masasabi kong nakakaawa talaga ako.

Nang makalapit na siya sa akin ay bigla bigla niya lang akong kinurot sa pisnge.

"Aray naman!" daing ko
