Amyrah Gale Watson




"You're so beautiful hija! No wonder kamukhang kamukha mo ang mommy mo," ngiti ni Grandmy sa akin. She really has the purest smile in the world.

"Ma, ako anak mo so dapat ako ang kinakampihan mo," nalulungkot na sabi ni Daddy.

"Oh come on, David! Malas mo at babae ang naging anak mo," natutuwang sabi ni Grandmy, she's brushing my hair using her hand.

"Hija, I need to go, I need to greet some of your visitors," she kissed my head and went outside.

Lumapit sa akin si Mom, tinitigan niya lang muna ako sa mirror saka nagsalita.


"David! My baby is not a baby na," nakasimangot na sabi ni Mommy.


"Come on Amira, she's still our baby. Right honey? Still no boyfriends okay?"

"Ofcourse Daddy! I will always be your baby! No boyfriend din po!" I kissed their cheeks and hugged them tightly. Totoo namang bawal talaga ang boyfriend. Pumapayag si Daddy magpaligaw ako pero hindi ko daw dapat sagutin. Nababansagan tuloy akong paasa!

Finished na ako mag fix ng hair and make up pati mag suot ng gown. I am wearing a red gown na black sa baba. Parang nagfefade yung color. It's so perfect for me! Off shoulder rin 'yon kaya na eemphasize ang shoulders ko. My collar bone also! 'Yun yung maipagmamalaki ko!

"Miss Amyrah, let's start na po," nakangiting sabi sa akin ng organizer.

When the host called my name I slowly step down, smiling to everyone. It was beautiful! Everyone is wearing red or black dresses! So perfect! I kept on smiling until nakababa ako. My dad escorted me to my seat. He kissed my forehead before going to their table.

I can see everyone glancing at me. I suddenly felt awkward. All of them was just taking pictures of me, clapping, and my crazy cousins are shouting 'NUX LEGAL NA SANA ALL'. They went quiet rin naman when the host already started the program.


After the 18 candles, 18 treasures, 18 shots, 18 roses, I went to each table thanking everybody. I already changed my clothes na rin. I am wearing my pink cocktail dress. Angat na angat angat ako lang ang nag iisang naka pink.

"Hey bunso, happy birthday!" bati sa akin ni Ate Caleb. Our eldest.

"Thank you ate!" I hugged her.

"Happy birthday Amyrah!" Ate Crizbelle, Ate Caleb's friend greet me.

"Thank you," I smiled.

"Bitch! You're now a certified bitch! Happy birthday my baby!" Ate Calil hugged me.

"Yes I am. Hahaha! I also like you na! Thank you!"

"Hey! Hey! Stop the drama na!" Pinaghihiwalay kaming dalawa ni Ate Eli.

"Because you're legal na, we planned something!" Masigla niyang tugon.

"Woah? Really? What is it?!" Excited kong sabi.

"We'll talk that later sa after party. Enjoy your party muna Princess," Kuya Zach told me. He is so sweet to me. I don't know why hindi siya ganoon kela Ate. Maybe because I am the bunso?

"We're sure you'll love it Princess," ngiti ni Kuya RD. Older brother ni Kuya Zach. Both of them call me Princess. Well buong angkan ko naman. Except my Ate's.

Nagpaalam na ako sa kanila at dumeretso sa table ng friends ko. There, I saw Alexa and Anjelaine taking pictures. I called them.

"Hoy! Ano? How's the food?" Tanong ko sa kanila.
