Pink doll shoes, cute Capri pants, white top, pink bag, and a touch of make-up- indeed I had stepped out of my cocoon and have become a real girl (or have I really?). I never expected that when I step into my college years, people would be interested in my “availability” (in a matter of speaking). Real girl ka na nga eh, legal na raw.
Many times I have been asked on how many boyfriends I have had relationship with. And when I’ll tell them that my parents are strict (much more are my sisters!) so I had none they would cut me off and would tell me “Sus, uso pa ba yan? Probinsyana ka noh?” And I will tell them - - - “Oo, uso pa to! At least sa amin di uso ang mabuntis noh!” (hindi nga ba?? Hmm..)
They wouldn’t really believe that there are still girls out there who follow their parents “thou-shall-not-have-a-boyfriend-until-I-tell-you-so” rule. (And much more if you are (*ehem), a bit cute) and all the while, they wouldn’t believe you and would just presume that you’re one naughty liar. I have learned from this, and had so many experience of this scenario that whenever someone would ask me - -“Naka ilang syota ka na?” my reply would be - -“Madami na! (Wala nga ako maalaala)” and they would ask “so, you have a boyfriend right now?” sasabihin ko- -“Oo, so hindi na pwede, friends na lang tayo ha” and that would shut them up.
Is it really the mentality of teenagers nowadays? (I-outcast ba ang sarili? hehe) ..dapat padamihan ng syota, paastigan ng mga naka-relasyon at ang pinaka importante - - -“dapat may special someone ka”.
Eh paano kung wala?, paano kung ayaw ko pa? ,paano kung may mga mas importante pang bagay bukod dyan? Paano kung di pa talaga pwede? Will that put me a step lower than your level? Hell no! It’s just a matter of choice kung baga.
Being single has its advantages too. 1. You can have as many suitors as you want (as long as they can wait until you can graduate in college-para skin to’). 2. You can have a crush on every cute guy in your school. Ah yes, you can be a coquettish creature indeed. (punyemas! dalawang dahilan lang naisip ko.hehe)
Ok I admit, there had been a couple of times that I was sure I was going to say “yes” to a relationship, but then again I would think, what would be the effect on me? Magiging mas masaya ba ko dahil may syota na ako?
Pag may syota ba ko maipapasa ko lahat ng subjects ko?
Matutuwa kaya parents ko? (hindi!)
Or maybe, that someone whom I could have had relationship with is just not “all-that” to me, he is just isn’t “it” (The “It”, Mr. Gooey, Mr. Hearty). Baka hindi ko lang talaga trip. O baka takot lang talaga ako.O baka naman…wala lang. (Mabubuhay kaya ako sa baka? - - -oo naman! Nyahaha)
So until my father breaks the “thou-shall-not-have-a-boyfriend-until-I-told-you-so” rule, I’ll remain single (asus!). So no matter how many Adonis, Larry(s), J-van(s), Michael(s), John(s), Jay(s), Patrick(s) …… come my way, my hypothalamus must (in a full force order) restrain its feelings. Pin it down baby. Be Patient, there is always a right time for that.
Sana nga lang makayanan ko pa. Nasa red alert hypothalamus ko ngayon. Wehehehe.

Pag-uwi ko sa Bicol, magluluto ako ng corned beef (gaya nung sa tv bah!), paaamuyin ko sa papa ko ang sarap ng amoy ng delata, at baka sakali (kagaya ng sa commercial) pag tinanong ko siya ng…
Ako: Papa, pwede na ba akong mag-boyfriend?
Papa: (habang inaamoy ang corned beef) SUUUURRRREEEE….
(And while I was writing this, a tune was playing in my head…)
Mangarap ka, mangarap ka…
Dinggin ang tawag ng iyong dugo…
