I LOVE YOU. MAY PROBLEMA KA?

CHAPTER 1: the first time na nakita ko ang aking PAGIBIG

"Mom! Why do we need to go back to the Philippines? OMG! Are we getting poor na? If that's gonna happen, pwedeng pa adopt ako sa isang mayaman din?"

 

Napahawak na lang si Mommy sa ulo nya. Ganyan talaga siya e pag kausap ako, laging may headache. I don't know why. Aren't all moms like that?

"No we're not. And it's never gonna happen"

 

I sighed of relief.

"Eh why nga?"

 

 

 "Don't you want to go back kung saan ka talaga nanggaling?"

I just looked at her weirdly. Like she just said something that is totally out of this world.

"No. Not really"

 

She touched her head again. See? 

"Basta. We're going home"

 

"But Mom, My 'home' is in France"

 

 

"No, you're 'home' is in the Philippines"

 

 

"Whatever. Just make sure na mageenjoy ako dun ah. Or else, I will fly back to France in a heartbeat"

"Yes, my dear"

--

"Dito ba tayo magsstay? Medyo maliit to ah. Mom, you're lying to me! Talagang naghihirap na tayo! Ito na lang ba ang afford nating house?" 

 

 

"The house here in the Philippines is different from the houses in France. Kaya akala mo maliit lang yan. Pero kung ayaw pa rin talaga, we could make a new house. Like what we have in France"

 

 

"So kelangan natin sumabay sa mga forms ng mga hosue dito? well, it's okay baka sabihin nila mayabang tayo"
