Habang nasa byahe kami, I couldn't stop thinking about that guy. He was kinda cute, HAHAHA. But I told myself "Tine, stop! You're not supposed to remember him, you might die!" So I tried to check my camera again, hoping for a miracle, maybe his picture magically appeared. But nothing. I guess I'll just check my diary, maybe I wrote something about him.
"Yanni, sino po pala yung mga pinsan ko na dumalaw?"
Who are they? I hope I remember their names, it would be so embarrassing if I don't. But people are used to me being forgetful, it's like I introduce myself every single day, HAHAHA. Sometimes I wonder, what if I was a normal student? I'd probably fail all my exams, haha. Imagine, I'd review, but still forget everything.
"Ah, ayun sina Mira at Mara, yung kambal ng Tita Xandra mo. May binisita kasi sila dito sa Zambales, client ata, tapos naisipan nila na iwan muna yung kambal. Alam mo na."
That explains it! My house is going to be so noisy, choss! But honestly, I'm excited to see the twins again. I have a lot of cousins, but I can't remember most of them. But there are family pictures in our house with all of them. I look so bad in those pictures, the photographer didn't even count me in, so annoying.
Mara and Mira, they're only 5 years old, both of them are noisy and mischievous. My other cousin, the first one, is still in Tita Andrea's tummy, HAHAHA.
"Mira and Mara? Oww, I remember those twins are such as cutieee."
"By the way, Yanni, that guy I saw earlier at the flower field, do you know him?"
"Lalaki? Hindi ko napansin, nagmamadali kasi ako. Bakit nga pala?"
"Nothing, hindi ko po kasi siya makita sa mga photos sa camera ko."
Really? Honestly, I'm curious about him. It's like I've seen him before, but I can't remember, haha. When was the last time I actually remembered something?
20 minutes passed, and we finally arrived home. The rancho wasn't too far from our house, so it wasn't a hassle. Once you see the rancho, it's worth the effort to visit it. So let's go to El Rancho de Peter, HAHAHA!
"Ayeeeeee!"
The twins greeted us, they still have a lisp so instead of "ate," it came out as "aye." They're such cutieee piee, they look so adorable in their outfits, like little dolls, I want to display them in my room.
"Owww, my babieesss, I miss both of you."
Yanni went straight to the kitchen to prepare food, especially with the kids around, we're going to eat a lot.
I held both their tiny hands and we went to the mini garden. It's cool there, and there's a mini playground. Why am I not allowed to go to the park? So I brought the park to my house. There's a swing, slides, trampoline, picnic blankets, and even a tent. It's good that it wasn't too sunny, so I decided to lay down the blankets so we can all sit.
"Ayee, nagugutom ako," Mara.
"Ako rin, ayee, we want foods," Mira.
"Yeahh, let's wait for Yanni nalang, okay? She'll bring us foods. Btw, kumusta kayo? It's been a month since I last saw both of you."
"Uhmmm, we're good naman po, Aye. Mom and dad brought us a lot of toys so we can share it with our friends," Mira.
Awwww, they're so good. Well, they got that from me, HAHAHA. Why, I'm also good, right?
"Ayee, pwede po kaming maglaro doon? Ang gaganda po ng mga toys niyo eh," Mara.
Mira and Mara, they are twins, but Mira is the englisher, and Mara is the tagalogsher.
"Oww, yeahh, okay naman. Sige, laro muna kayo while we wait for foods."
"Tine, eto na yung mga foods. Mukhang masaya ka ha?"
"Yes, Yanni, look at the twins, they look so happy, so masaya na rin po ako."
There's so much food, mga prenn! Marshmallow, chocolates, and fruits. We got them from the rancho, hahaha.
Mara and Mira stopped playing to eat. I chatted with them even though they're only 5 years old, they're already so smart, I can keep up with them. I took pictures of us for remembrance.
Five hours passed, and their parents and Dad arrived. Before they came, I made sure I knew who they were. Just in case. We had dinner together, and I can say it's one of the happiest dinners I've ever had. Well, I'll write about it in my diary later. After dinner and a little conversation, Tita Xandra, her husband, and the twins went home.
I immediately went upstairs because I felt so exhausted. So much happened today. I told Daddy and Yanni that I'd go up first because I was really tired. Once I was in my room, I immediately fixed myself and got my diary. I wrote everything that happened, from the rancho to the twins to dinner, hahahaha. I even included Mr. Anonymous Guy, why not?
After writing, I put the notebook back in the drawer when I noticed a picture tucked inside an old folder. The picture was still clear, I could see it perfectly. It was a picture of two kids, I think they were around 6 years old. They were so cute, the boy looked so annoyed, while the girl was laughing. They looked so happy in the picture, like they didn't have any problems in the world.
Who are these cutieee patotiee kids? I was already sleepy, so I just tucked the picture into my diary and decided to think about it tomorrow. I was just so exhausted.
