Wanna Have

"Mama! Look, I got stars! Ay, hindi mo pa nga pala makikita. Gising ka na kasi. Miss na miss na kita. Alam mo ba, mama, there's this boy in school that kept on following me and I really don't know why. He's good-looking pero mas pogi pa rin si papa kahit minsan panicked gay siya. Hehe."

"Mama! Tumawid akong mag-isa, just like you taught me! Joke, inihatid ako ni uncle Jihoon sa school. Pero half-day lang ang schedule namin ngayon kaya maaga akong nagpunta dito. Hihi. Remember the boy I told you last time? Syempre hindi, tulog ka nung ikinuwento ko yun eh. He became my friend. Kaya pala niya ako sinusundan kasi he wanted to be friends with me. His name was Kwon Jihyun. He's very nice, mama. And he looks like a hamster. Ang cute. Hahahaha!"

"Mamaaaa! Na-zero ako sa math kanina huhu. Mama, magaling ka ba sa Math? O baka sa iyo ako nagmana? Ang malas ko naman. Anyways, I got zero but I had Jihyun to help me with Math. Nagvolunteer siya so I said yes. Pero, ma, I don't have any crush on him. Don't misunderstand me. He's just a nice friend of mine. Napakabata ko pa para lumandi."

"Mama, I hope you're hearing me. I really miss you. I had a bad dream last night. Sobrang natakot ako kaya kinulit ko sila na pupuntahan kita first thing in the morning. Diba, you told me before na kapag naaalala mo yung panaginip mo, hindi siya magkakatotoo? Ibig sabihin, you'll wake up! I can't wait, mama. I know you'll never leave me, right?"

"Ma, alam mo kamo, si uncle Woojin parang tanga."

"Ma, si uncle Woojin nangungulit na naman."

"Mama, am I really years younger than uncle Woojin? He acts like he's way younger than me."

"Mama, tao po ba talaga si uncle Woojin?"

"Mama, mukha pong samoyed puppy yung baby ni uncle Daniel. Hehe."

"Mama, uncle Daniel looks like a samoyed dog."

"Mama, uncle Jinyoung kept on crying last night. I heard him in his room. Wag kang maingay na sinabi ko sa'yo ha? Pero syempre hindi mo naman sasabihin sa kanya dahil natutulog ka. Mama, I need you to wake up and check on him. He's been like that for days already."

"Mama, uncle Soonyoung's with me today! Nalaman kong anak niya pala si Jihyun. Kaya pala parehas silang mukhang hamster."

"Mama, uncle Soonyoung's a gay pala? And he's married to uncle Jihoon?"

"Ma, uncle Jihoon's so smol. Pero takot sa kanya si uncle Soonyoung."

"Mamaaaaaaaaaa, uncle Wonu's scaring me. I hate him."

"Ma, may nameet na naman akong parang tanga. Si uncle Seungcheol."

"Ma, magpinsan pala si uncle Soonyoung at uncle Woojin? Kaya pala parehas silang balahura."

"Ma, I need help. Ayaw akong tigilan nila uncle Woojin at uncle Soonyoung. Wala si uncle Jihoon para hampasin sila ng gitara. They won't shut up."

"Mama. I miss you. I hope you'll wake up soon."

"Mama! Uncle Jinyoung taught me how to ride a bike! He's getting fine now. Pero minsan I could still hear him crying in his room."

"Mama, do you also find uncle Jihoon cute? 'Cause I do. Kahit ang sungit niya tingnan pati brutal siya. Pero kapag sa akin mabait naman siya. Pati kay Jihyun kasi syempre anak niya yon."

"Mama, I met uncle Joshua. He's so kind."

"Mama, inagawan ako ng ice cream ni uncle Woojin. Pinalo tuloy siya ni uncle Minhyun."

"Mama, ang gwapo ni uncle Minhyun. Hehe."

"Mama, ang ganda-ganda ni Drianna. Para siyang princess! Pareho kami. Hihi."

"Mama, si uncle Woojin nalaglag sa kanal kanina kaka-Aiyak niya."

"Mama! Ipinagluto ako ni uncle Minhyun. Ang gwapo niya talaga. Hehe."

"Mama, doon ako natulog kila uncle Daniel kagabi! Hihi."

"Mamaaaaaaaaaaaaa. I got a perfect score in my Science exams! Syempre hindi mo makikita yun dahil natutulog ka. Sabi ni uncle Jinyoung, you excel in Science daw. Pero hindi ka raw magaling sa Math. Therefore, sa'yo ako nagmana."

"Mama, are you dreaming about me? If yes, then you gotta wake up 'cause the real one's here. Or are you dreaming about papa? It's okay but, please don't... Don't go with him yet."
