365 Days with an Angel

Welcome to my life!

A/N: As promised here's the next chapter!! I'm going to update this every 10th and 25th~ Parang payday lang eh no? Hahaha! Anyway here it is!!

***************************************************************************************

Flashback..

I skipped happily on the way home and proceeded to our doorstep. Nung binuksan ko ang pinto.... GAAAAAH! The look of pure, unutterable horror painted my face.

"Where were you?" 

Si Kuya, bow.

"Do you have any idea what time it is? Is this a normal time for a college student to be going home?"

Introducing ang kuya kong OC! Strikto pa kay Hitler eh. Ilang years ko na ring pinakiusapan si Lord na bigyan na ng girlfriend ang taong ito kasi sobrang strikto! It's only 6 pm!! For once, I wanted to stand up to him! Ah! Since panaginip ito, I think I can do it...? Pero kahit panaginip bakit parang ang realistic ng aura ng kuya kong ito?

"6 pm pa lang naman ah! Martial Law lang ang peg??" Di ko na hinintay ang kanyang sagot at baka isang taon pa ang makalipas bago siya matapos. Napa-100 meter dash ako papunta sa kwarto ko pero nung napadaan ako sa kusina napahinto ako saglit. "Hindi na ako kakain, Ma!" 

"Maria So—"

Hindi ko na rin hinintay na matapos ni Mama ang kanyang pagsasalita at dumiretso na agad ako sa kwarto ko, which was situated in the 2nd floor of our house. Hindi naman kami sobrang mayaman gaya ng akala niyo sa mga taong may two storey house. Sakto lang~ Tamang tama for a family of four. Oh, since we're already on the topic of my family let me introduce you to my kindred! Ahiyeee~

Firstly, the breadwinner of the family is my Daddy, Vicente Esteban Milano. Isa siyang seaman, so maaari niyong sabihin na medyo may kaya yung pamilya namin. Pero bakit mo siya tinatawag na Daddy if pobre kayo? Siguro yan yung sa isip niyo ano? Tinatawag ko siya na Daddy kasi yung pamilya ng Dad ko ay mayaman. His siblings are all professionals at sa ibang bansa na naninirahan! Bakit hindi kami sa ibang bansa naninirahan? Eh, mahal namin ang bansang ito eh! At medyo low-cost ang living dito kaya hindi na kami naglakbay pa sa kung saang lugar at baka maluwa ng eye sockets namin ang aming mga mata sa presyo doon. But, most of all, it's because we love our country! Mabuhaaaaay!!

Secondly, the lamppost of our family (Tama ba ito? Or Lamp nalang? Or di kaya Light? Pero parang mas may effect ang lamppost eh... lol whatever!), as in ilaw ng tahanan, Maria Clara Florentina Esperanza Isidora Octa—hahaha! Just jokin! Namana ko ata sa Mama ko ang sense of humor ko.

Anyway, her real name is Serafina Eloisa Milano. Wait... Serafina. That means angel in Spanish right? Eh? Ahhhh! Bakit kasi inaalala ko pa ang nangyari kanina. Move on na Sophie! Let it gooooo~ Okay, moving on na, my goodness!

Hamak lang na housewife ang Mother Earth ko, nothing really special about her. That's if you ignore the immeasurable amount of weapons and gadgets she hides in her hidden closet! Akala niya walang nakaka-alam about what she's concealing in the confines of her secret compartment. Well, that is in fact true kasi walang kamuang-muang ang kanyang asawa at anak na lalaki of her covert identity. WAHAHAHA! Covert identity. Parang James Bond eh, 007! Si Mama 008! Anyway, yeah, I stumbled upon her chamber of secrets in the middle of my high school life. Tinago niya kasi yung Gameboy ko because exams were coming up. Eh may pagka-Lara Croft ako, so I accidenta—expertly, uncovered her lifelong secret. Of course di alam ni Mama na alam kong may tinatago siya. I'll just let her be. 

You might be wondering why I call my mother Mama, whereas I call my father Daddy. Idyot ka ba Sophie?? You don't even know how to pair simple, household words? Get an education! HUMYGHAAAA—HEP! Tumahimik!! There is an acceptable reason why I do this! Di ba I call my father Daddy kasi mayaman siya? Well, my mother's family, on the other hand, is not so blessed with riches. Yung lolo ko kasi isa lang hamak na magsasaka. It's not that I stereotype farmers as poor people! I think farmers are also wealthy. Pero, yun nga, sa bukid kasi sila naninirahan at hindi ganoon ka-gara ang buhay sa bukid. That's the reason why I call my mother Mama and my father Daddy. Gets? Good!
