PAULO looked over his shoulders when his sister groan loudly. She's rushing towards downstairs carrying her netbook. He ignores her annoyed face and go back in enjoying his meal.
"Look at this!" she blurted out as she settled next to him. He looked at her netbook showing her MyWorld profile on the screen. But he can't figure out what was she talking about.
"What exactly am I looking at?" he asked as he took another bite of his toast.
"This!" she scrolled through some friend requests and pointed few of them.
He looked at Coleen, still not getting what her point is. They are just bunch of friend requests, what's the deal anyway?
"These mean girls add me as a friend!"
So, that's the deal.
"And?"
"Don't you get it?!" Paulo still doesn't have any idea--he have, ayaw lang niyang mag-assume. "Why would they add me? Oh, right! For the fact that you're my brother and they desperately want to do some stalking of your topless pictures in my MyWorld profile."
He ignores her rant and picks another toast.
"Palibhasa kasi wala kang sariling profile kaya ako ang inaabala nila. Well, guess what? Not gonna happen wannabes," she said while smiling devilishly as she cancel all the friend requests from those girls. "You will never have the ability to copy-paste my pictures with my brother or our family just to crop our faces and get what you want." At talagang nilakasan nito ang pagpindot sa keyboard sa huling nai-cancel na request.
Nilingon ni Coleen ang kapatid na may malaking ngiti sa mga labi.
"Let's start their first day of school by pissing them off! Mga user! Nakikipagkaibigan lang sa akin dahil gustong mapalapit sa'yo? Ha! Neknek nila! As if naman na papayag akong mapalapit sila sa'yo. Ako ang number one hater nila! At lalong hindi ako makakapayag na papatulan mo kahit isa man sa kanila."
"Are you sure you want them to be pissed? Because I could totally say that you're the one that's really pissed off right now."
She rolled her eyes. "Sino bang hindi mabubwisit sa mga babaeng pusit na 'yon? Na wala namang alam kung hindi ang i-master ang paglalagay ng mga kolorete sa makakapal nilang mukha imbis na pagandahin ang report cards nila." She sigh heavily. "Why would I even bother anyway? I don't need those kind of people in my life. And why are you eating already? Lagot ka kay Nanay kapag nakita kang kumakain na."
"Good morning to you, too," iyon na lang ang nasabi ni Pau sa kapatid.
Bigla namang nagbago ang ekspresyon ni Coleen. From being pissed to cute creature.
"Good morning, Piw-Piw!" she kissed her brother on the cheek and hugged him tightly. He cringed for a second then smiles.
"Himala! Maagang umalis si Daddy?" nang mapansin ni Coleen na wala sa hapag ang kanilang ama.
Her brother pointed outside, on their pool side area. Where their father's at, talking to someone over the phone.
Coleen wasn't surprised. Bakasyon man ito, trabaho pa din ang inaatupag ng kanilang ama. Kung hindi lang sila takot sa Daddy nila napagsabihan na nila ito noon pa. Mula nang yumabong ang business ng kanilang mga magulang, hindi na humihiwalay sa telepono ang kanilang ama. Kaya mas naiirita si Coleen, dahil ang mga quality time na ipinapangako nito sa kanila palagi lang nauuwi sa wala. In the end, sila pa din ng kapatid niya at Nanay nila ang nag-e-enjoy sa mga bakasyon.
"Coleen, anong sabi ko?" tanong ng kanilang Nanay nang maupo na sa harap ng kaniyang kapatid. May bitbit itong plato na may hotdogs. "Other than food, wala ng iba pang naandito sa hapag, 'di ba? And you shouldn't be using your laptop. It's school day."
