I SMILED proudly at myself when I saw the cook chicken thigh and wings on the plate. Kailanman ay hindi ako tumambay sa kusina namin, unless I will slice mangoes, cucumber, or kiwi. But I never cook, especially grilling meat. Millicent doesn't like the smoke from the charcoal, but she ate grilled meat.

Ito ang pinili kong matutunan dahil favorite raw ni Shawn ang barbecue wings. Gusto ko naman ang thigh part. Bukod sa juicy na ay malaman pa.

"Okay na po ba ang ganito kataas?" tanong ni Ara, hawak niya ang taling kumokonekta sa puting hammock swing.

Tumango ako. Namangha sa dalawang puno na naroroon. Hindi ko napansin na iyon pala ang purpose noon.

"Baliktarin mo na, Miss. Baka masunog."

Binaliktad ko ang tinutukoy niyang thigh part. Nakinig ng maigi sa mga ipinayo ni Lulu sa akin sa pag-marinade at pagpapabaga ng charcoal. I felt ignorant, as I thought I already knew everything. With the use of the internet, everything is accessible. I will know everything, but I was wrong. There is much information that the internet cannot provide.

Ara, do my lemonade juice. When we ate lunch, I shared it with them. We ate together and I figured out it's simple but I am very happy. Ang dami kong nakain. Nakalimutan kong may sinusunod akong dietary rules.

"What are you doing, Lulu?"

Katatapos ko lang maligo. Naabutan ko siya na abala sa mga halaman. Ipinakita niya sa akin ang malaking gunting.

"Nilalagyan ko po ng design."

I sat on the stone hand and watched her. "Aren't you going out? I thought you'll go to the Market?"

"Opo, Ma'am. Mamaya. Ipapaayos ko na rin ang cellphone niyo. Nabasa lang naman po 'yon."

Tumango ako. Napaisip kung ano nga ulit ang dahilan kung bakit ko iyon pinaayos? Kaya ko lang naman iyon hinanda ay dahil para matawagan si Drew. Matapos ng ginawa niya, I think I lost the reason of keeping it again. But then I realize I don't have my other phone with me. I can't do anything. I am bored. Naging abala ako maghapon dahil sa barbecue lesson namin ni Lulu. At ngayong wala na ulit akong gagawin I felt myself useless.

"Can I try that, Lulu?"

She gave an annoyed look. "Ma'am, 'wag na. Baka pagalitan kami ni Sir. Shawn."

"He won't, I promise."

She is hesitant but later on, she gave in. This is my first time to do this and I can't help but feel passionate about cutting the leaves. I did as Lulu told me about the design. Iyon nga lang nabalewala ang pagligo ko dahil nagpawis ulit ako sa ginawa kong paggupit hanggang dulong bakod.

"Ma'am, magmiryenda muna po kayo. Naku, ibigay niyo na po iyan kay Lulu."

"It's fine. I am starting to like this household chores. If you want I can do the remaining bushes."
