Kaleisha's POV

I can't believe, Napa-oo ako nang dahil kay Mia. She knew that I can't resist her! That little girl talaga, I knew something was up. We were already done eating sa kabila ng ilang awkward moments, Nakasurvive naman ako kahit papaano. There are times na tinitignan ako ni Alfonso, hindi ko alam kung bakit!

Obviously there are moments too when Ivan tried to flirt me, I just laughed pero ginagatungan naman nila Shayne. To be honest, nasanay na lang ako sa tuwing may lalaking ganoon ang pakikitungo sa akin. There were a lot of guys who tried to flirt with me pero hindi ko naman sila sinasakyan. I was just making it look more happy with being friendly to them.

After eating, Inaya ako ni Shayne mamayang gabi na sumama daw sa party. Noong una, I got hesitated because I needed to take care of Mia but Angel insisted to be in charge and took responsibility. Wala akong ibang magawa kungdi ang hayaan na lang. Kaya sa huli, Pumayag ako kay Shayne na pumunta sa party.

It's kind of a great idea to finally go to parties. Parang ngayon na lang ako ulit makakapunta sa isang party, and my first time to experience the night life here in Siargao. Even though this town is small, the advantage of this is that kilala na nila ang isa't isa.

Nagka ayaan sila magswimming muna sa dagat kaya naman nagsipagpalit muna kami ng swimsuit bago pa lumabas ng resort. I wore a skimpy red stringed bikini at cinover up ko naman ito ng isang see through na coat. At syempre binihisan ko rin ng swimsuit si Mia dahil gusto niya rin daw mag-swimming.

Tamang tama lang yung labas namin dahil nakita namin agad sila Chase, Ivan, Godfrey at Shayne na naghihintay na sa tabi ng dagat, they brought a blanket para panglatag sa sand so that we have something to sit on. Napansin kong wala pa si Alfonso, siguro may pinuntahan. Agad namang umupo si Angel at si Mia sa blanket para tumambay muna diyan.

"Ang sexy mo talaga, Isha! Inggit ako sa katawan mo!" Puri ni Shayne habang pinagmamasdan niya ako from head to toe. Nginitian ko siya at tumawa. Hindi naman ako naiilang kapag may mga taong tumitingin sakin. As long as hindi sila nambabastos, okay lang. Sanay na ako dahil nga naexperience ko nang magbikini sa mga pageants before na sinalihan ko.

"Wag ka naman mainggit, you have a beautiful body too." I said and smiled. Ayan naman talaga dapat ang gawin nating mga babae, we need to hype each other up. Women supporting women is so powerful. It is one of the factors that helps a woman gain their self confidence.

I once felt insecure about myself, I was always compared to other girls lalo na nung sumasali ako ng pageants. I was criticised for what I am and for who I am. Which is why the only thing that I've done in order to surpass that problem, Is that to always think positive. Whenever one critics me, I listen for me to improve more. But receiving hate and judgement is one of the things that I can't tolerate. Despite the negativity, I was thankful to have people who loves and supports me especially in my darkest days whenever I look down on myself, my family and friends were the ones who helped me althroughout the struggles that I faced for the past few years. Lifting me up and motivating me to always keep moving forward. That is what keeps me going.

"Baka lumaki ang ulo niyan, Isha." Singit ni Chase na ngayon ay nakapamewang. Basang basa siya at halatang naligo na siya sa dagat.

"Kontrabida ka nanaman! Wag kang nga epal, Chase!" Naiinis na sabi ni Shayne at pinalo niya sa braso si Chase. Natawa ako sa ginawa niya.
