The things that I love in the morning is the warm feeling of the sun kissing my face good morning and the sweet smell of bacon for breakfast.

I slowly opened my eyes and saw that it's still early, mamaya pa 10 am ang klase ko at 7:30 am pa lang. I walked my way sa bathroom tyaka naligo. Matapos ko mag ayos bumaba ako sa dining room, na roon pala si mommy tumutulong mag prepare ng breakfast.

"oh! Good morning my princess!" masigla niyang bati pagka kita sa akin. I told her not to call me that. Mom kessed me on the cheek. "I saw it on facebook that y—".

"yeah, and if you think a did that just for attention then don't mention it." I cut her off, walang expression kong sabi at nag pout naman si mama.

"Bakit ganyan ka mag-isip? Ano ka ba? Of course that's not what I'm thinking! I'm proud of you nga eh, because you're not being arrogant despite your privileges in life." mom said and smiled at me. Okay? So maybe my predictions of the situation were slightly off...

Okay, they were definitely off.

"Okay mom, sorry" I said, then she hugged me. Even early in the morning she smells so good. I hugged her back.

"I love you, anak" a slight smile drew on my face. She's just so sweet.

"okay,okay ang aga-aga ang drama naman" I teased her and she pouted like a kid, ang kyut. "I love you too mom." Ang laki ng ngiti niya nang marinig iyon.

"Ang drama ata ng atmosphere dito" napalingon ako sa nag salita, Well good morning to you too dear brother. Tinignan ko lang siya nang masama, ang epal naman neto mom and I were having our moment!

"oh, c'mmon Asher! Minsan na nga lang mag lambing 'yang kapatid mo ume-epal ka pa." sabi ni mama. Well, that's true. Hindi kasi ako mahilig mag express ng 'sweet' side ko. Most of my family and friends see me as  cold, distant, and mean. Those are true too anyway.

"Mom, amazona kasi 'yan kaya di marunong mag lambing!" Asher exclaimed jokingly and he had the audacity to make faces at me! binato ko nga sa kanya ang tissue roll na nasa lamesa. "oh tignan mo!"

"Ugh, you're so annoying!" Hahabulin ko na sana siya kaso nag salita si mama.

"stop it you two!" Pag tutol ni mom sa aming dalawa. And then a light bulb just lit up in my mind.

Nagka tinginan kami ni Asher at tska nag evil smile sa isat isa. Mukhan alam niya ata ang iniisip ko. Dahan dahan kami nag lakad patungo kay mama. Sinimagan niya lang kami ng mata kasi mukhang alam niya rin kung ano gagawin namin.

"AH! STOP IT! STOP!" sabay namin kiniliti ni Asher si mama tapos sabay din namin siya niyakap at hinalikan sa mag kabilang pisngi. Ang sweet namin noh?

I may not always show my sweet side but at mom? I just can't help it, she's just so perfect and she deserves all the love in the world.

May isang malaking tao naman ang yumakap sa likod namin tatlo. I can smell his perfume, and the fragrance is mesmerizing.

"Good morning my precious babies" the man lovingly said. My dad, is as sweet as my mom.

"Dad! Ang bigat!" nag tawanan na kami, no moment can be more perfect than these types of morning.
We laughed at tska sabay na kumain.

Kahit step brother ko lang si Asher tinuturing pa din siya ni mama na sarili niyang anak. Ganon lang siguro ka bait ang puso ni mama. Dad had Asher before he was married to mom. Iniwan siya ng nanay ni Asher kasi tinakbuhan ang responsibilidad bilang isang ina. Napaka stupid na reason pero okay na din yung ganon, kasi kung nag stay siya, wala akong the best dad in the world ngayon.
