Kabi-kabilang hiyawan ang pumapalibot sa paligid. Maraming mga tao. Mayroon pang may mga dalang banner at mga lobo.

Nandito ako ngayon sa isang court, finals na kasi ng isang liga.

I'm wearing faded maong shorts, black high-cut all star converse and a black t-shirt. Hindi naman kasi ako yung high-heels type.

Masarap manood ng basketball kahit babae ako. May mga nakikita akong babae ditto pero feeling ko kaya lang sila nanonood ay dahil sa mga player. Pwes ibahin niyo ako, I love basketball. I can also play. Minsan napagkakamalan akong tomboy but the truth is I'm not. Ang ganda ko namang tomboy!

Mahirap maging loner especially this is a basketball game, kailangan energy kapag nanood but I can manage may mga kaibigan kasi ako pero hindi naman sila into basketball kaya di ko na sila tinawagan para samahan ako.

Saturday na ngayon, two days before the first day of school so I decided to just spend my day doing the stuffs that I'll surely miss when schooldays come.

I watched how the players run back and forth the court, how their sweat began to run from their faces and how they cope for air but wala naman masyadong thrill yung laro kahit na finals game na ito. O baka para sakin lang yun?

I was just standing by the stairs when a player looked into my direction, he's tall and yeah good-looking! He smiled at me and winked. Oh God this guy's hitting on me

I smiled too, my very precious smile then winked. I'm not a flirt, it's just my own way of dealing with flirts

Hindi sa pagbubuhat ng sariling bangko, I'm used to this but I chose not to entertain them. I don't like guys like that, I only entertain those who I like right from the start.

Hindi ako paasa pero kapag kasi inetertain na ako ng mga crush ko na, nawawala yung pagkacrush ko sakanila. I don't know what's the problem with me but yeah I love being me, this way-- no lovelife, less heartache!

I decided to go back home. Tanghali na rin naman kasi nagugutom na ako. I don't know anong problema nung liga na yun at tanghali yung finals hindi gabi.

When I got into our house, nakita ko si Nanay using her phone in the sofa, she's doing some selfies again.

Ang ganda ng Nanay ko! She's feminine and all! With her floral sleeveless dress, she enveloped me with a hug.

"Hay nako Katrina! Saan ka nanaman ulit galing ikaw na bata ka ha?" bumitaw na siya sa pagkakayakap saakin.

"Sa court lang po Nay, nanood ng basketball" she looked so disgusted

"Bakit sa court? Saka look at yourself!" ni head-to-foot niya ako "You don't look like a lady! You look like a girl!" she pointed out

I playfully rolled my eyes "Nay this is my comfort clothes. Saka nakakabingwit pa rin naman ako ng mga lalake kahit ganto ako"

Right on cue, she told me to go inside and she pushed me to tell her stories about the guys na nabibingwit ko!

Nanay really wants me to have a boyfriend para na nga siyang Nanay-bugaw but ayaw ko nga! Masyado pa akong bata jan! One more thing, I don't believe in love

"And they lived happily ever after"

Then everything went black. It's Sunday morning. "AAAAAHHHH Goodmorning Earth!" Nag-unat-unat ako. Sesexy kaya ako kapag ginawa ko to araw-araw? Nararamdaman ko kasing nagkakabilbil na ako eh.
