Bungee jumping, cliff jumping, extreme roller-coaster rides; name it, I'll do it. Horror movies never frightened me. Not my parents, the police, not even death.
I like it. I'm a risk taker and an adrenaline junkie. I'm a self proclaimed bad girl ex...

"Ay jusko!" Napasigaw ako nang may kumalabit sa akin. Isang mamang mahaba ang buhok, malaki ang katawan at mukhang pirata. Nilabas nya ang samurai at tinangkang isubo ito. Sa harap ko.
"Don't do it! You're gonna die!" Sigaw nang isang bata sa di-kalayuan.
Immediately, my hand started to sweat. I've never seen this trick done when I'm this close. I love it! Buong-buo nyang nalunok ang samurai. Nag-bow pa sya sa harap ko.
Someone grunted behind me. Inabutan ni Pierre ng pera ang mama at niluwa nito ulit ang samurai sabay isa pang bow. Napahawak ako ng mahigpit sa leash ni Aso habang minamasdan ang paglayo ng mama. I want to see more. I turned around to see Pierre already walking away. Binilisan ko ang lakad para maka catch up sa kanya.
Nasa Santa Monica na kami ngayon. Naglalakad kami sa may skating rink at nalalampasan ang mga nagpapasikat na street performer. Sobrang gagaling nila. Los Angeles is really full of people with lots of talent.
Hindi ko alam kung aware ba si Pierre na ako na ngayon ang nagbabantay kay Aso ang alam ko lang, parang wala naman syang paki-alam. Two hours ago, halos ayaw nya akong palapitin sa alaga nya.
Nakita kong papunta na si Pierre sa beach kaya as usual, tagasunod lang naman ang trabaho ko.
Nasa may buhanginan na sya nang naabutan ko. I wanted to feel the sand on my feet kaya hinubad ko ang sneakers na pinasuot ni Pierre sa akin bago kami umalis ng condo nya. Sa halos lahat ba naman ng pinuntahan namin, lakad lang kami ng lakad. My stilettoes would've broken my toes by now.
Aso started wiggling around at nahihila nya ako. Hindi ko pweding bitawan ang leash nya pero ang lakas pala ni Aso. "Ay! Aso, stop!"
She barked. Nakita ko na may naglalarong ibang mga aso sa may dalampasigan. Gusto nya sigurong makipag laro sa kapwa nya aso. She got impatient and run towards the beach kaya nadala nya ako at nadapa. I was on my knees. "Aso, no!"
"Let her go. She'll come back when she's tired." Narinig kong sabi ni Pierre ng buhatin nya ako para makatayo.
"Thanks." I turned around and came face to chest with him. He's very muscular chest. My eyes wondered around he's body and landed on his biceps. He's so big and beefy up close. But it's not disgusting. He's radiating power and confidence. I looked at his face. He was looking at the shore. His eyes were almost half close; I've never seen him this relax. His brows are not furrowed; I can almost see a ghost of smile on his face.
"Sure." He shrugged. "Well, she's having fun."
"Having fun? Who's having fun? I'm not having fun! No, you're having fun, you big beef—I mean very respectable man...I should probably get Aso." Flustered, I stormed to the unsuspecting pack of dogs. "Aso! Come here!"
