Hello?
Ivan... *sniff* si Nico... *sniff* si Nico... niloko ako... *sniff* ayoko na sa kanya...
my ever so famous line, ayoko na. Pero, ilang araw pa lang, okay na naman ako. ....
Sabi nga nila, life is too short, kaya dapat, live life to the fullest. Ako?... nah. Apparently, I chose to be in this emotional mayhem that I'm in right now. Katulad ng iba, nagmahal din ako. Kaya lang, ibang klaseng pagmamahal yata ito. Sabi nga ng mga friends ko, tanga daw ako. Ba, paki ba nila, diba? Kung sa bagay, may point din naman sila eh, kung pwede lang sana pagsabihan ang puso na tumigil na, matagal ko ng ginawa. Unfortunately, I couldn't set my mind and heart to work together. Wala eh, spoiled ang aking heart, pasaway masyado, ayaw makinig. Nasasaktan na nga, hala, sige pa rin. Ano bayan, ang alam ko, patay na lahat ng mga bayani eh, may natira pa atang isang nagpapakamartyr. Nakaka-confuse. I can't make up my mind. Minsan palaban ako, yung tipong, "this is it na talaga, ayoko na!!" attitude. Pero, kadalasan naman, konting lambing lang, bibigay kagad. Sa totoo lang, pwede na kong maging artista, ang babaw ng luha ko eh.
By the way, my name is Mikie. Maria Katryna C. Barcelo, 20 years old. Long hair, brown eyes, small frame, mestiza - the whole enchilada, ika nga nila. Masayahin ako, yung tipong happy-go-lucky person, don't get me wrong, i have my priorities straight. But, underneath the exterior of what people see, lies the other side of me, a girl with a desperate heart. I have an older sister, Mara. She's married to her childhood sweetheart, kuya Lawrence. Tapos, just two years ago, she gave birth to a baby boy, my very cute na pamangkin, Enzo. My Dad, Henry Barcelo is a lawyer-slash-businessman; we own the law firm where he works. My mom, Criselda Barcelo, owns a fashion magazine company. Daddy's girls kame ng ate ko, which explains the reason why i have always gotten what I want. - well, except for 1 thing. Close din naman kame kay Mommy but since our Dad is always out of the country, pag nandito siya, all eyes on us talaga, kaya spoiled kame sa kanya. I have 2 best friends, Cassandra and Ivan. These two know me in 2 different angles, si Cass ang kasama ko sa lahat ng kalokohan. She's more like a sister to me, pano kase palagi na lang nasa bahay. Kulang na lang eh i-adopt siya ng parents ko. Cass' mom and my mom are best of friends, so, like mothers, like daughters ang drama namen, oh diba? Si Ivan naman, parang kuya namen yan, lagi na lang kaming pinapagalitan, especially me. matalino nga daw ako sa school, d ko naman daw maapply sa totoong buhay, lalo na pagdating sa lovelife. Tagal ko na nga yang hindi nakakasama at nakikita eh, since he and his family migrated to California 2 years ago, pero kahit ganon pa man, lagi naman kameng magkausap niyan, parang kapit bahay nga lang kame kung magdaldalan sa phone eh. Siya kase ang sumbungan ko pag may problema ako. And lastly, there's Nico, the love of my life. He's my first boyfriend ... and last... (?) . Seems like everything's perfect, but in reality, it's far from that...

Mom: Mikie!! wake up, anak, nandito na yung photographer! Mikie!!
That's my mom. Image model nya ako sa magazine niya. Honestly, i hate modeling, pero nasanay na din ako. Pano ba naman, mula ng magkaisip kame ng ate ko, nagpopose na kame sa camera. I'm studying to become the next owner of this company. Actually, ang first choice ko naman talaga, maging lawyer, just like my dad. Kaya lang, kailangan nila ng magmamanage sa business ng mom ko someday. Ate ko naman, sila ni kuya Lawrence nagstart ng business recently lang.
