"Good morning! Gumising ka na oy! Parating na mga bisita!"

I heard Kuya Seb's loud knock on my door. I panicked so I stood up immediately and tied my hair before going down. I saw my Mom and other siblings at the kitchen, starting cooking the dishes for later's event. I went on the bathroom first before I went to the kitchen.

"Ang aga pa, kuya. Pinalabas mo na agad ako." I told Kuya Seb while wiping my mouth with the hem of my shirt.

"Teka nga, tumalikod ka nga. Ngayon lang kita nakitang nakasuot ng ganiyang damit." Kuya Daniel walked towards me and held my shoulders for them to look at my shirt. 

"Sinong Araneta 'to?" Kuya Seb asked while patting my back. "Mama oh!" Kuya Seb shouted.

I panicked so I turned my back again, 'yong hindi nila makikita. "It was my friend's shirt." I told them. Well, I guess, kaibigan ko na rin sila Aj? Ganon naman ako eh, kinausap lang ako at pag nakakasama ko nang ilang beses, kaibigan ko na agad. How bad for me no? It's really hard to have a soft and kind heart.

I looked at Mama and she was even smiling. "Who's that LUCKY guy?" She chuckled while putting the cooked noodles on a glass serving dish.

"Ah," I can't lie! But fine, I will. "Hindi na importante 'yon, Ma. He's from our school and nasa football team kasi siya." Sagot ko. Was that even a lie?

"So, lalake nga?" Siningkitan ako ng mata ni Kuya Daniel.

"Malamang." I shook my head. "Mama oh, ayaw ako tigilan!" My brows met. 

"Ayaw lang namin na masaktan ka, unica hija ka dito oh. Hindi naman pwedeng saktan saktan ka lang. Nako po. Bigwasan ko 'yan." Sabi ni Kuya Daniel.

"Bakit ako masasaktan? Eh hindi nga kami close." I sighed before I shook my head.

"Hindi close pero nasayo 'yong jersey. Hindi ko sure." Kuya Seb pat my head. 

I helped my mom to prepare the dishes, we finished at 4 pm and we need to get ready na dahil 6 pm darating ang mga bisita and we need to entertain them. Mama and Papa raised me and my siblings in a filipino way sobra.

I took a bath and brushed my teeth right after. I was wearing a simple printed black tee partnered with a light brown cargo pants and dark brown dr. martens boots. I looked myself through the mirror and i decided to circle tie the bottom hem of my shirt to make it looked like a 'crop top'. I comb my hair and let it down because I was too lazy to tie it up. 

I went down at the sala and duon muna ako tumambay together with my siblings while waiting for our visitors. I scrolled on my social media accounts and still my facebook notifications are many and araw-araw ata nadadagdagan kahit nililinis ko na. I told Kuya Daniel to take a picture of me for my IG story. 

"Kuya, sige na please?" I widen my smile, trying to convince him. "Dali na."
