Grace’s POV
I woke up, as usual, hapon na. Tatlong linggo ko ng ine-enjoy ang summer. I’m free, finally. Kung nag tataka kayo kung bakit usual na sakin magising ng ganitong oras, well, simpleng sagot. I party at night, I sleep at day. Kanina, kahit alas-dos na kami umalis sa bar ng mga barkada ko, alas-nuebe na ko ng umaga umuwi ng bahay. May Extension kasi yung party namin sa bahay ni Nicole, barkada ko. tapos sa Coffe Shop na kami nag almusal lahat. At pag ka dating ko, nagpalit lang ako ng damit ko at natulog. Everyday, since summer I’m just waking up for that routine. At habang malaya pa ko, I’ll do this routine all over again. Siguro na iisip nyo ngayon kung bakit kaylangan pang may POV ako dito eh, isa lang naman akong hamak na kontrabida sa storyang ‘ to. Alam ko’ng iniisip mo sakin. I’m flirt, Pusong bato, walang pakiramdam. Am I right? Pero, kilala mo na bang talaga si Amanda Grace Ching? Oh, well. Ganyan naman talaga ang mga tao. They Jugde others based on the things they see, they hear, and know. But what do I feel and what did I felt, did you know about it?
I am Amanda Grace Ching. Nursing Graduate ako last year, at this recent school year kumuha ako ng Medecine. My materialistic friends say that I can have every thing in this world, which is I know not true, I guess. Yes, I can have everything, even the most expensive thing. But shame on me. Because the whole truth, the things I can’t have in this world are those PRICELESS. So, yun. Hanggang dito muna tayo. You’ll know more about me later.
I took a bath for almost an hour, wore my clothes, loose-shirt and short shorts. I also put a little make up. People I don’t know that much calls me bitch. But I don’t care what they say. I don’t care what they think. This is me. This is my Fashion. I won’t change my ways. I went down from my room. Di ako dadaan sa main door. I’ll use the door in the kitchen. Ayokong may makakita sakin. Ayokong may makitang tao na nakatira dito. Yung mga tao kasing nakatira dito, its either kinamumuhian ko, o kinaaawaan ko. And I know I’ll be like them soon. At ayokong isipin muna yun ngayon. I’ll live my life, hanggang ako pa ang nag kokontrol nito. I saw the one of our maids there…
“M…Ma’am, san ka po p…pupunta?”
I raised my right eyebrow, and I put my hand in my hip. “When did you have the rights to question about my personal life?”
“po?”
*tss… Damn! This person can’t even understand simple english!* “ Ang sabi ko, wag kang mangealam sa buhay ng may buhay!” I stamped my feet and walk directly to the door.
“Ma’am, utos po kasi ng daddy nyo na…”
“Now what?! This is none of your business. So, you better…”
“You better stay for a while, Grace. We need to talk.”
My eyes were big. That voice…was the voice of the wizard in my life. My father.
“What fuckin’ talk do you want?!”
“About your first and last blind date.”
“I am busy for…”
“Shut up, Grace! We have talked about this! You’ll get the course you want, you’ll marry the guy I want for you!”
“Dad, sana nag ampon ka na lang, tapos i-train mo ng parang Prostitute! Tapos, sila yung ipamigay nyo dun sa mga business partners and investors mo!”
“Grace! Don’t be the black sheep of this family. All you sisters followed my commands!”
“well, I’m not like you! All you think about is counting your money!”
“Grace! This is a deal, right? I let you decide the course you want…”
“I will decide myself, dad! I’m not a child anymore! This is my life!”
