Have You Seen This Girl

Chapter 16 Cyrus effect

Chapter 16

Jillian’s POV

I spent the week na puro aral-practice lang ako. Boring? Not really, kahit papaano naman ay natuto ako sa mga tinuro ng mga mentors namin sa Production.

We had this mini voice lesson, of course we still have to work on a lot of things. Especially sa pagsustain ng high notes—thanks to Cyrus dahil talagang dilemma ko si Demi Lovato. I was practically begging him to change the song, fortuitously, Ma’am Iza heard me crusading for my petition against the song, so she let me sing it with Cyrus and she agreed with it. Tss.

Again, I have no choice. I’m mobbed against my will.

Anyway, it’s Friday night—means pwede ako magpuyat, so I did everything. I played Mario—which is my all time favorite computer game. It never gets out of style for me. Call me old school, but I don’t care about that.

It’s just that Mario’s cool, funny, stupid and dumb. And that is what I like about the game—he’s pain resistant. I hope humans are, too. Iyon bang kahit ilang beses ka ng masaktan, okay lang, as if walang nangyari, ganoon. But wanting that cold princess image is ruined by this thing we called feelings.

Anyway, I was playing religiously but then I got bored, so I opened my facebook account. Madalang lang naman kasi talaga ako magbukas nito, usually for school purposes lang—kapag may mga online quizzes. Yes, mayroon kaming mga ganoon dahil nga sa college ay kaniya-kaniyang aral, hindi na spoon feed kagaya ng sa high school. Minsan ia-announce na lang ng Prof.na iyong exams namin ay online at kukunin na lang sa isang site.

When I checked my notifications, I was shocked upon seeing loads of friend requests—one of those is from Cyrus. Good heavens, am I mooning? I blinked for one second and it was real. This is odd . . . whatever! He added my on facebook! HAHAHA. That guy is really funny sometimes . . . most of the times nettling, though.

But of course, I won’t confirm it. I’ll tease him to death. He enjoys laughing himself at my expense? Well, payback time, baby.

I ignored his request and I added his friends. F.Y.I, they did the first move. Hindi naman ako magmamaganda masyado para tarayan sila, but Cyrus is excused.

I was spending my time lavishly and wastefully, but I’m having fun while scrolling down the newsfeed. People are really funny. Madami akong mga classmates na naglalabas ng sama ng loob sa Facebook. Ghad, if you’re mad with someone, pm the person, you don’t have to shout it into the void. This is the reason why I hate opening my account, annoying people everywhere.

Pero syempre hindi lang naman puro bad things ang mga nasaksihan ko, I saw some of Nick’s picture. HAHAHA. I feel like a prowler right now. It’s legit, though. At talagang mabenta ang bawat kilos ni Castrences, bawat naman kasi status niya ay ang daming likes. Geez, what more kaya kay Cyrus? Good grief, don’t scare yourself, Jillian.

I don’t have any plans on taking this stalking thing to the next level, anyway. Kasi baka sumama lang ang loob ko sa mga mababasa ko sa comments ng ibang girls especially to his pics. Baka din may makita akong picture nila ng girlfriend niya. Come on, I don’t do self-annihilation.
