𝙎𝙃𝙊𝙍𝙏 𝙎𝙏𝙊𝙍𝙔 Huminga muna ako ng malalim, bago lumabas ng banyo. Nagulat ako ng makita ko ang nakasalubong na kilay ni Kin, mukhang kanina pa ko hinihintay nito. "Ano nanaman?" Tanong ko dito at diretsyong pumunta sa closet para kumuha ng damit. Ramdam kong nilapitan ako nito, ng makakuha ng susuotin saka ako tumayo at hinarap ito. "Tell me, what do you want?" Tanong ko dito, di ko kasi alam kung bat ang sama pa rin ng tingin nya sakin. "Panagutan mo first kiss ko!" Nanlaki ang mga mata ko dahil sa sinabi nya. "Ano?! Sira kaba pano ko naman gagawin yun?!" Nag sisimula na rin akong mainis. "Hindi ako satisfied sa first kiss ko!" "Para ka paring bata, ano bang gusto mong gawin ko?! Ng manahimik kana." Sa totoo lang nauubusan na ko ng pasensya. "Kiss me again!" Di makapaniwalang tinignan ko ito. Seryoso ba sya?! Started: July 31, 2022 End: August 04, 2022Complete

Dear diary, It's 2009. Wordpress is in [Wattpad is not yet out]. Uso sa munting school namin ang magsulat. Sis lahat naging instant authors. Bilang takot akong maiwanan sa trend, why not join the fun, di ba? Pwede kong gawin online diary itong blog while jotting my memories down. Maybe this can also distract me from my problems... Which reminds me, ano pa nga ba ang isusulat ko dito? Syempre, my life which has been a total disaster lately. Eto yung sneak peak: 1. Major family & love life issues last summer 2. Moved to a new country/home 3. Moving to a new school in the middle of high school 4. Going *baliw* soon... Charing. Call me a drama queen pero swear, nakakabaliw. Kalurky talaga. Abangan niyo nalang yung full ganaps and join me in my misery. Btw, don't worry, may mga kilig parts din siguro. I think? Secret nalang muna kung siney itech na nagpapatibok ng puso ng lola niyo. Shet, grabe yung kilig ko. Pero secret muna mga sez. For now, ito muna masasabi ko. I'll update soon! xoxo, Andy [Author's note: Tara, sabay sabay tayong marindi, kilabutin at balikan ang nakaraan!! :) actually I'm bringing back this story I wrote wayback in high school for nostalgia's sake. Gusto ko din ipreserve yung original, kaya ireretain ko yung most parts, pati language (taglish). Pero grabe yung kilabot ko sa ibang parts, bakit ang corny natin nung high school... Patawad po in advance! Most importantly, enjoy, mga beh! x ]Complete
