We can't all be princesses. Someone has to clap when I pass by.

The exam was a lot EASIER than the practice questions Zelo had prepared for Dama. Multiple choice ang first part. Then identification naman sa part 2. Tapos essay.
Easy as pie, she thought.
She stole a glance at her friends. Kanina pa kamot ng kamot sa ulo si Eli na nanghahaba na ang nguso sa sobrang pagka-confused. Si Lei naman ay seryosong-seryoso.
Hindi nya makita yung tatlo pa dahil nasa likura sila. She can't turn her head with the teacher around. Naiinis tuloy sya. Hindi sya makakuha ng inspirasyon eh. Nasa pinakang-likod kase si Zelo.
She remembered their conversation earlier. Sadya yun eh.
"Tabi tayo ha? Patulad ako." She suggested.
"Ayoko nga. Para san pa yung pinag-aralan mo kung mangongopya ka lang din?" Sagot nito.
"Eh... para sure!"
He pinched her cheek. "Di pwede. Sa pinakang-unahan ka mauupo. Ako sa pinakang-likod."
"Eeeeeh! Anlayo naman!" Reklamo niya.
"Ganun talaga."
"May premyo ba ulit kapag nakapasa ako?"
Nginitian sya ng binata. "Tingnan natin."
She sighed. Makakapasa kaya siya? Sure, she could answer all the questions... wala nga lang guarantee kung tama lahat.
But then again... the things she'd do for a kiss....
Napangiti sya.
AJA little heart! Makakapasa ako! Para sa kiss!

Dani came home a bit late so he was really hungry. He was so tired from all the work that he almost slumped at the couch and slept there... kung hindi lang talaga nya napansing hindi na naman sya sinalubong ng asawa.
"Manang, si mommy asan?" Tanong nya sa katulong na kumuha ng gamit nya.
"Nasa kusina sir." Sagot nito.
"Kumakain?"
"Nagluluto po."
"Ah..."
Tumayo siya at naglakad papuntang kusina. He saw her standing near the stove. Her hair was tied into a bun at naka-apron ito.
Nilapitan nya ito at niyakap mula sa likuran. "Hi." He greeted.
"Hello. Bakit late ka?"
"Ang daming trabaho eh. What are you cooking?"
"Bicol express." She replied with a smile.
"Wow... tamang-tama, gutom na 'ko." After saying that, he buried his face on her neck and nibbled at it. She smelled so good... amoy-ulam.
"Daddy, I'm all sweaty." Mahinang reklamo ni Meg.
He kissed her on the cheek then at her temple. "Ang bango mo ma. Kanin na lang ang kulang."
She laughed. "Adik."
"How's our baby?" He asked.
"She's fine."
