Dekko Enriquez is a walking sunshine. Negativity has no room in her world and she believes in the goodness of people. Suddenly, her world did a 360-degree rotation...turning into dark, gruesome and bloody.
How will bubbly Dekko handle being a suspe...

LISTENING TO GANI'S puppy love while whisking together sugar, salt and butter really relaxes me. After a while, I mixed egg and vanilla in a separate container. Apart from playing with textiles and fabrics, I'm also inclined with baking.
I guess I got it from grandma who's also a pastry enthusiast.
Kapag walang pasok, gaya ngayon na Linggo, kadalasan akong nalilibang sa pagbe-bake. Kung ang iba ay sinusulit ang pagtulog, maaga kong sinisimulan ang araw ko upang mas maging productive.
Sunod ko namang pinaghalo ang regular flour at baking soda. When I'm already satisfied with the quality of the dough, I let it be chilled in the fridge for thirty minutes.
While waiting, I asked my Mom to FaceTime with me. My eyes sparkled when the camera focused on Dad. The population of his white hair is now outnumbering his black ones. Still, this man will always look good in my eyes.
"Dad! I miss you po!" I animatedly said.
Tumawa si Dad sa kakulitan ko. "I miss you too, anak. Kamusta naman ang pag-aaral mo dyan?"
Masigla kong ibinahagi ang mga bago kong natutunan sa university. Bukod sa mga bagong technique sa paghahabi, nai-kwento ko rin na medyo nahihirapan ako sa Statistics. "It's so unfair, Dad! Bakit po kasi hindi ko namana ang galling ninyo sa Math?"
"Kaya nga anak, ang sinasabi ko sa 'yo ay pumili ka ng nobyong mahusay sa Math. Kita mo itong mommy mo ay mahusay mamili," pagmamalaki pa nito. Natawa ako nang makitang kinurot siya ni Mom sa tagiliran.
"Naku, ikaw talaga." Napailing si Mom kay Dad. "You're always teaching foolish things to Dekko." Tumingin naman si Mom sa camera. "Dekko, don't listen to your dad ha? Get a degree first, love will come after okay?"
We ended the video call when it's time for them to attend a business affair. It's been a month since the last time I went home and I've been missing them everyday. Learning how to live independently is great but there are times when I can't help but miss being taken care of.
Well I guess...that's how life is. You gain something in exchange of another. It's up to you to weigh which one matters more.
Setting the oven to 350˚F, I carefully placed the pan inside and waited for fifteen minutes. I used a toothpick to check if it's already good to go.
I can't help but close my eyes as I take the first bite. Hindi ko na mabilang kung pang-ilang beses ko na itong ginawa kaya siguradong masarap ang kinalabasan. Saktong-sakto lamang ang tamis nito.
What I love about this chocolate chip cookie is it's so chewy. My grandma's recipe never really fails me.
Pagkatapos kong maligo ay sumakay ako ng elevator pababa. Bitbit ang maliit na microwavable container ay nakangiti akong lumapit kay Mang Robert. Sa lahat ng security guard ditto sa Avida ay sa kaniya talaga ako napalapit, nakikita ko kasi sa kaniya ang Dad ko dahil palabati rin ito tulad niya.
