HAVE YOU ever hated being average at everything you do? Hindi mawala sa isip ko ang tanong na 'to because this is me.

Average.

And I wonder if other people felt the same.

Being average isn't my favorite especially when you encounter someone gifted. Mapapatanong ka, bakit ang unfair naman yata? I'm not particularly the best in anything. Ako yung tipong papasa basta nag review, basta nag practice. I got used to it but acceptance was not an easy process and adaptation was another league of difficult.

Buti na lang, even average people like me could still be happy.

Masaya ako ngayon. Dapat masaya lang ako ngayon. Lahat naman siguro matutuwa kapag birthday nila? Kapag mayroon kang mga magulang na mahal na mahal ka. Kapag nariyan ang nakakatanda mong kapatid na aalagaan at puprotektahan ka.

"Happy Birthday, my beautiful daughter!" bati ni Papa sa microphone. Kasunod nito ang pagbati ng mga inimbitahan nila ngayong 22nd birthday ko.

My mother who was standing beside me that time placed a loving kiss on my forehead and lovingly whispered, "Happy birthday, Willow namin."

"Thank you, Mommy." sagot ko sa kaniya at napatili nang may higanteng teddy bear na lumilipad papunta sa akin. Kahit nakatalikod ang nanay ko, humakbang siya pagilid at nakaiwas.

Yep. My mother is badass. She's an expert on kick boxing and a well-known persona in track and field sports. Nakuha ko naman ang stealth at bilis niya, 'yun nga lang hindi ako prepared sa ganitong klase ng atake.

Teddy Bear attack.

Tumama sa akin 'yung teddy bear, "Ooof!" And there grinning a foot behind the big bear was by big brother, Ethan.

"Happy birthday, Willow-poo!" bati ng kuya ko. I hugged his silly teddy bear gift and pretended I'm annoyed at him.

"Stop calling me that, Ethan-thin!"

Lumapit sa akin si Kuya at ginulo-gulo ang buhok ko, "I'm no longer thin, Willow-poo," Halata naman. Sa sobrang laki ng katawan ng Kuya ko, napapagkamalan siyang naka-steroids. "Samantalang ikaw," Inilapit niya ang bunganga sa tenga ko at bumulong, "..nakakatae ka pa rin sa salawal eh sobrang tanda mo na, Willow-poo!"

Namula ako. He's right though. Minsan kasi kapag hindi ko mapigilan at taeng-tae na ako, nakakadumi pa rin ako sa salawal. Yes, I'm already on my twenties. I just turned twenty two at hindi ko pa rin alam kung anong mayroon sa pwet ko.

"I'll tell your girlfriend na nagkaluga ka for three years then."

It's Kuya Ethan's time to be alarmed, "What? No!"

Inilabas ko ang aking dila para asarin siya and I said, "I'll tell her! I'll tell Ate Zony!"

"Ikaw na bata ka!"

He was about to attack probably to tickle me senseless kaya tumakbo ako papalayo sa kaniya, carrying the giant teddy bear with me.
