Ngptkso 01 // Guilty Pleasure

Sa lahat ng nausong quotable-quotes sa mundo, "masarap gawin ang bawal" ang pinaka gusto ko. It's the quote that I live by. Motto, kumbaga. Kasi nga, masarap gawin ang bawal. Kakaiba 'yung feeling. It feels like I'm always pumped up.

Maraming nagsabi na titigil din ako sa ganitong pamumuhay. My grandma even said to the Discipline Coordinator that I'll change for the better soon enough. After a janitor saw me kissing the new hot kid in class, people were not in favor. I laughed and cried. But c'mon, sino ba kasing hindi gugustuhing halikan ang grade 6 classmate na kasing hot ni Johnny Depp?

He's into me. I like the rush. The boy's CR was inviting.

But my elementary school is too pussy to like the idea of grade schoolers kissing.

KJ.

I'm no saint. No angel. I just like. . . the fun. Nakakatuwa para sa akin 'yung feeling na any moment, pwedeng may mangyaring hindi aayon sa plano. And I'm anticipating what I will do next. I'm always up for unexpected adventures. For taboos. Deviants.

Norms? That's for normal people who like boring stuff.

I don't do borings. And I'm far from normal.

"Seryoso, hindi mo makukuha ang pants ni Sir Marco sa make-up na 'yan," said by the Queen of Uncensored, Unica Fae Valentine, the youngest of the Valentine siblings. The only girl in the family (because her mom is the lady). She has two hot older brothers that I had a crush on since the day I knew how to check out boys.

I was nine when I learned her bros are hot.

One of the things I like normal is my make-up. Sabi kasi ni Erica, my Mom (she wants me to call her Erica), nude make-up can make my skin glow. Hindi ko na raw kailangan magpaka-diva sa make-up at baka magmukhang clown.

A beautiful woman doesn't need excessive colors in the face, honey, she said to me once. Nagmumukha raw kasing unnatural. Naniwala naman ako sa kanya. So I'm using this natural make-up since I learned how to paint faces.

Except lips. I've always liked red.

"I'm not aiming for the pants, Ms. Uh-ni-ka," I said, looking at Unica emphasizing every syllable in her name. Nagsuklay lang siya kaunti tapos, okay na. Madalas lang siyang nakatunganga sa CR kapag magkasama kami. Hindi kasi pala-ayos. "I'm aiming for something bigger."

"Yeah," she said and air-quoted, "bigger."

Sa sobrang tawa niya, (which was contagious! She's one of the girls who laugh like a mad man.) natawa rin ang ilang babae na kahelera namin sa tapat ng salamin. At ang walanghiya, tinulak din ako! Good thing I finished re-touching. Kung hindi, even if I love her, I'll drag her to hell.

Kidding. Or am I?

Sa ingay ni Unica – gusto ko sana sabihing kami ang maingay, pero siya lang talaga – ang sama na ng tingin sa amin ng ilang babae. Nakataas ang kilay ng iba. Kung hindi lang siguro kami umalis, siguradong sunog na kami sa mga titig nila.

"Daming beach, gusto ko lumangoy!" sigaw ni Unica bago kami makalabas talaga.

Napailing na lang ako.

This Unica. Uncensored is the word that really fits her perfectly.

"Baliw ka talaga," sabi ko, trying to suppress my laugh. "Kailangan talaga ipagsigawan 'yung kay Sir?"

"Aba naman oras na para markahan ang teritoryo mo," she said, fixing her polo shirt. Napailing na lang ako sa pag-angat niya ng laylayan ng polo shirt niya. Halos makita na ang rose tattoo malapit sa pelvic niya. Galing kaming CR pero mas pinili niyang sa hallway mag-tuck in. Typical Unica. "Nakita mo 'yung babae sa pinakakanan kanina?"
