Vallerie's POV:

"Fulfill your to do list"

Those were the words Mama and Papa told me. Meron kasi ako dating to do list na gustong-gusto kong gawin kapag 18 na ko.

But a year passed and I haven't been able to fulfill at least one.

Well, there was one.

Get a boyfriend.

Back then, Mama was desperate for me to have a boyfriend. Nireto niya ko sa iba't-ibang lalaki but I refused to every single one of them.

Why was she desperate? Well I mean, a lot of the women in my family wanted me to have a boyfriend. Very unusual since college palang ako. But here's the answer. They were afraid baka maging lesbian ako.

Sana nga naging lesbian nalang ako para di ako nagmahal ng Yildeen Zamien.

I put it in the list but I didn't pay much attention to it. Kumbaga nandun lang siya for the sake of Mama to be at ease.

But it was the one thing I fulfilled.

Ay, meron pa pala akong na-fulfill.

Get a car.

I can't even remember kung nasan na yung to do list na yun.

So I decided to make a new one. Why not, diba?

To Do List:

· Dye your hair/get a different and new hairstyle
· Get a tattoo
· Get a cat
· Get back to learning guitar
· Make your parents proud again

Sumandal ako sa upuan ko nang matapos ko na sulatin ang mga yun sa isang notebook.

And then I remembered one thing at isinulat din yun.

· Get over your ex

I decided to do these things this week. Besides, wala masyadong gagawin this week. Why? Next week na ang PC. I honestly don't wanna go there, buuuuut secretary ako ng SSG. So, no choice.

Kaya wala kaming masyadong gagawin this week, no classes dahil puro preparation for PC ang mangyayare.

And like as if I'll choose to be all out there. No, hell no.

I took my phone to dial that one number I usually call.

"Oy, Clint" sabi ko nang sagutin niya ang tawag. "Yes baby? Naks, namiss mo yata ako ahh" panunukso niya. I rolled my eyes. That baby part reminds me of SOMEONE and that namiss part is annoying af.

"Shut up. Busy ka?" I asked. "Nope. Why?" He asked back. "Samahan mo ko sa mall"

***Later***

Pinigilan ulit ni Clint ang tawa niya and I swear, I'm close to killing this person.

The one to assist me sa parlor ay isang bakla na chinecheck kung ano bang kailangan gawin sakin. He already pointed out trimming my eyebrows, doing something with my hair (abot na siya ng bewang ko), and wax.

Finally, after years of pointing out how horrible I look, he started doing my "transformation" as he called it.

Ginupitan muna nila ang buhok ko, ang length na ginagawa nila ay sa chest ko banda, and a little above my bo- you know the word.

(AN: If you're still confused, look at Jeongyeon from Twice's hair length sa Dance The Night Away era. Look at her photos and you'll see)

Then, after cutting it, they started doing keratin and all that. Sobrang tagal ng mga nangyayare, and I could tell Clint is so bored yet so bothered dahil sa mga bakla na pumapalibot sakanya. (Which I like because damn it's funny)

***Later***

"So now that your hair's straight, what's next?" Tanong ni Clint.

"Well, three days after today, I'm getting my hair dyed" I started. He nodded.

"Tomorrow, I'm buying a cat" I said. He nodded again, but then laughed. I raised an eyebrow. "You can't even take care of yourself properly and yet you're going to take care of another creature"

"Pake mo ba?" I said, and then rolled my eyes. He pouted.

Alisin ko yan sa bunganga mo.

"So what's next, after getting a cat?" He asked. "The next day after getting a cat, I'm getting a tattoo" I said. He then didn't look pleased.

"Why? Of all things why is getting a tattoo in your to do list?" He asked. I raised my right eyebrow.

"Ano ba yun sayo?" I asked back. He sighed. "It's just that. I want you to stay being a pure girl" he said.

"Clint" I said, seriously. He looked at me with a confused face.

"I was never a pure girl from the start" I said and wiggled my eyebrows.

Y'all know what kind of unpure I mean.
