When I was a kid. I enjoyed all the attentions they're giving on me and in fact I'm enjoying it until now.
Wanna know why?
It's because I'm rich, gorgeous, intelligent, and talented.
Impossible right? But sad to say, I was born like that.
Kasalanan ko ba na nagpursige ang parents ko kaya kami mayaman ngayon?
Kasalanan ko ba na pinanganak na akong maganda? Not kagaya ng iba dyan nagpaparetoke pa para lang gumanda.
Kasalanan ko ba na mabilis akong matuto sa mga lessons namin?
Kasalanan ko ba na magaling akong kumanta, mag gitara, at mag play ng piano.
Now tell me kasalanan ko ba lahat nang yun?
Sige na idagdag na natin na minsan slowpoke ako. MINSAN lang naman
Oh! let's forget about myself already.
Let's get straight. I love getting their attentions but I don't care to other people.
Magulo right?
Let's just say that if you care for them, you'll just end up crying. Not because you just have to feel the pain of that person but because of betrayal.
Let's accept the fact na sa panahon ngayon uso na ang mga PLASTIC
Having a bestfriend whose really loyal to you is a blessing. But me? Oh! I have lots of friends. The PLASTIC ones, Alam mo yung kinaibigan ka lang nila because of your status in life.
Pathetic right? That's why I don't give a damn care to person. Para iwas hassle na rin sa life.
I'm used to be alone. Naguguluhan siguro kayo kung bakit ako sikat? How did I get attentions to them? Simple it's because of my status but they always shut their mouth and stay away from me when I'm near to them coz they know na maiirita lang ako sakanila. And also sikat rin ako because of my very cold treatment to them. Hindi naman talaga ako cold ehh. Sila lang ang nagsabi na cold ako..-,-
My parents do know that I'm a loner, so they make a plan. A very lame plan.
Naisip lang naman nila akong e lipat ng school sa Philippines because they say that Filipinos are very friendly and they are hospitables. And also e ha-handle daw muna nila ang business namin sa Philippines.
Yeah I grew up in America, but I know how to speak tagalog of course kasi si dad ay pure filipino and my mom is half filipino and half korean. Diba may connect talaga kaya kami nandito sa America! (note my sarcastic tone) Haha but anyway kaya kami nandito sa America because of my dad's business. Sa America kasi nakabase ang business namin.
Kaya ngayon I'm here na in the Philippines. I arrived here ALONE. Kasi yung mga magulang ko excited na excited pumunta dito kaya na una na sila sakin mga 5 days ago.
And by the way I think I'm gonna love this place.
*ring...ring*
Oh that's my phone.
"Hi mom!"
[Are you already here in the Philippines?] mom asked over the phone
"Yaaah! in fact I'm here at the airport ALONE" yes I emphasized the word alone para naman ma feel ni mom. hehe
[Baby, huwag ka nang magtampo. Diba you already know that me and your dad can't fetch you there kasi nandito pa kami sa Palawan for business] Yeah they're always like that. Palagi silang wala because of business.
"I know mom. Paano ko naman hindi malalaman eh nasanay na nga ako noh haha" I said and fake a laugh.
[Sorry na kasi baby, promise babawi kami ng dad mo pag uwi namin.]
"Noted mom." waaah hindi nalang ako aasa na matutuloy yang pambawi nila noh. Matagal na akong nasanay na palagi lang nilang nakakalimutan yung pangako nila.
[Oh! By the way before I forget, nandyan na yung driver. And also papasok ka na ngayon ahh.] Papasok?? this day? Oh my ! May jetlag pa ako ehh.
"Ngayon ba mom?" paninigurado ko.
[Yeah, I already bought you school supplies at huwag ka nang magpalit ng damit. Diretso ka na sa school okay. Alam na yan ni manong Rico. Sige baby bye bye na love you.] with that she ended the call.
Hayst.. nasaan na ba si manong Rico?.Si manong talaga parati talaga akong pinaghihintay.
Yeah kakilala ko sya kasi sya rin ang driver namin sa America.
"YOUNG MISS!!" Oh I guess si manong na yun kaya liningon ko ang tumawag sakin.
"Manong naman pinaghintay mo talaga ang magandang ako?" sabi ko sabay pout.
"Young miss, pouting doesn't make you cute." sagot naman ni manong... Straightforward talaga sya since sa States pa kami.
"Eehh ganun ako ka pangit?" tanong ko naman.. hindi naman ako pangit ahh...
"Young miss you're not ugly. Tingnan mo nga ang paligid mo!" kaya naman luminga linga ako
And OH MY!!
"Manong why are they staring at you? Famous ka ba sa Philippines?" nakuu baka artista pala tong si manong dito sa Pilipinas.
"Young miss hindi po ako ang tinitingnan nila. Ikaw po yun. " sabi naman ni manong.
"Ayy naku manong impossible po yan noh! Tara na po sa school ko." sabi ko nalang sakanya at pumasok na sa car.
While I'm on my way daw sabi naman ni manong na tama daw tong dinadaanan namin patungong school. I put on my headset and begin to sleep.
*Beep beep*
"Manong?" Bigla akong nagising sa ingay na yun.
"Nothing young miss, may mga kaskaserong driver lang talagang ganun maka bosena" pagpapaliwanag ni manong.
"Ahh, malapit na po ba tayo?"
"Yes young miss malapit na po, ayan na nga po yung school nyo eh" sabay turo nya sa malaking gate.
I suddenly felt excitement!
"We're here! Enjoy your first day Young Miss." sabi ni manong sabay ngiti.
"I will manong thanks." I said then I get out from the car.
THIRD PERSON'S POV
"Girl bagong schoolmate?" takang tanong nung babae habang nakaturo sa isang kotse sa tapat ng gate.
"I don't think so, baka nag change lang ng car." sagot ng isang babae.
Sa may kabila naman.
"Pare I guess ito na yung transferee."
"San mo nalaman yan ah?"
"Na overheard ko lang pare."
"Oh! that's nice. I hope she's a girl."
"I hope so."
"And now he/she is going out"
Tinitingnan nila ang papalabas sa kotse.
"Pare, babae!"
"Oo nga pare. Ang ganda"
Alter's POV
"Oh! sino yan?" tanong ng isang girl na parang clown. Ang kapal ng make-up.
"She's pretty" sabi nung lalaking may kausap.
"Bitch" komento naman ng isa pang clown.
"Oh! What did you just say?" Tanong ko dun sa girl na parang clown na nagsabi ng bitch kanina
"Me a bitch?" I asked and the clown girl raised her very very thin eyebrows, yung parang isa linya lang.
"Are you deaf? As what I was saying, Yes you're a BITCH!" sabi ni clown girl.
"I'm not deaf miss. I'm just clarifying a thing here. Akala ko kasi your pertaining to yourself as a BITCH, because you look like one." Sarkastikong pagsagot ko sakanya. Akala nya ha.
"Pardon?" She said and glared at me while her face is turning into red because of shame.
"Look who's the DEAF now. And by the way Miss pakibawasan yang make-up mo, baka mapagkamalan ang school na to na may nagaganap na children's party and you are hired to be the clown. And I won't deny it, yes Miss you really look like a Bitch!" Sabi ko at tiningnan sya from head to toe.
"A slutty bitch rather." pahabol ko at tinalikuran si clown girl.
Nah, she's just a waste of time. Ganito ba talaga dito sa...
Oh nice! ano nga ang pangalan ng school na to?
While I'm in the middle of my thoughts...
"OUCH!!" I suddenly uttered when I bumped a post.
Wait... may poste dito sa corridor?
Oh nice.
"Tsk, hindi ka inaano ng poste pero binangga mo" sabi ng isang unknown guy.
Magsasalita na sana ako kaso nakaalis na sya. Tsk, kasalanan ko bang may posteng nakatayo dito?
Urgh...Ang shaket talaga ng ilong ko! 😭😭😭
Waaah!! makapunta na nga sa room ko. Teka ano nga ulit yung section ko?
[Ay tanga lang Frail? punta ka kaya sa Principal's Office baka may mahanap ka dun.] sabi ng utak ko.
Oh diba, parang baliw lang na kinakausap ang sarili.
And like my mind said earlier, tumungo na ako sa Principal's Office.
"Good morning sir" bati ko dun sa lalaking nakaupo sa Principal's desk.
Bigla syamg humarap at nasilayan ko ang kanyang mukha (Makata lang ang peg) I guess he's on 40's
"Oh hi good morning! What can I do for you?" masiglang tugon ni Sir Principal
"Uhm, sir I just wanna ask my section and also kukunin ko po sana yung ID ko"
"Oh! so you're the tranferee! By the way I'm John Lerfet just call me Sir Ler okay!" yay! nag introduction pa si Sir...
"Yes sir, I'm Alter Frail Ferrer po pala" pagpapakilala ko kay Sir Ler.
"Okay Miss Ferrer, so your section is III-A and here's your ID. And by the way your room is located in third floor." mahabang pag e-explain ni Sir Ler at binigay na nya yung ID sakin.
"Thank you sir!" sabi ko at magmamartsa na sana ako palabas ng tawagin ako ni sir.
"Miss Ferrer, can I ask what happened to your nose?" nagtatakang tanong ni sir while pointing my nose.
"Ahh, nabangga ko po kasi yung poste kanina sa corridor." pag e-explain ko naman. Muntik ko nang nalimutan yun ahh..
"Next time be careful Miss Ferrer, you may now leave"' sabi ni Sir Ler at umalis na ako.
I tried to massage my nose but it really hurts.
"Ouch! Why on Earth this hurts like hell?" Pagrereklamo ko habang paakyat ako sa third floor.
I wanna scream because of pain, pero ayaw ko namang isipin nilang nababaliw ako. Tsk' ang ganda ko naman para mabaliw.
When I reached the classroom of III-A. Pumasok na ako kaagad and I see only few students na nasa loob ng room.
[Tss...stupid Frail! 7 o'clock in the morning? Syempre hindi pa marami ang estudyante ang aga ka pa kaya ng 7.]
Waah.. nabaliw na ata ako sa pagkaka-untog ko sa poste kanina kaya ko binabara yung sarili ko!! 😱
By the way namili na ako ng mau-upuan. I choose to stay on the back near the glass window para maganda ang view.
"KYAAAAAAAAH!" Biglang sigawan ng mga girls. Oo alam ko na mga girls ang tumitili eh sa tinis ba naman ng tinig. tsss..
"Girl, ang hot nya talaga!!"
"Ang gwapo mo talaga!"
"Can I be your girlfriend?"
Teka, iba na talaga ang generation ngayon no? Sino ba tong tinitili.an ng mga higad na babae dito?
"Oh MY!! girl kaklase natin si Prince Karma!! Kyaahh!!" Tili naman ng isang girl sa room namin.
"Really?? Gosh nasan na ba ang foundation ko girl?"
"Okay na ba yung lipstick ko?"
Ang O-o.a nila mag react ahh! Sino daw yung kaklase namin?
"Good morning" Bati ng isang girl na kaklase ko sa bagong dating na lalake. The guy just replied her a smile and there she was naglulupasay sa kilig. 😒
Bigla nalang nagtitili ng mahina ang nga kaklase ko na babae pagdating ng lalaking to sa classroom namin. I guess sya yung tinili.an dun sa corridor.
"Excuse me Miss, may naka-upo na ba dito?" tanong nung lalake sakin. I just ignore him. Kita na nga nyang wala pang nakaupo diba? nagtatanong pa tsk.
"Miss are you deaf?" Biglang tanong ng lalake sakin like what did he just say?
Aba pangalawang beses na akong nasabihang bingi ako ahh.
"WHAT?" inis na sagot ko sakanya
"I'm asking if you're a deaf ?" aba't inulit pa talaga nya .
"Obviously Mister, I'M NOT A DEAF." eni-emphasize ko talaga ang huli ko'ng sinabi.
"Oh, so may naka-upo na ba dito sa upuan na to?" ayy ang slow ni kuya... hindi nya gets na wala pang umuupo dyan?
"Can you use your common sense please?" Kitang walang umupo ehh nagtatanong pa.
"Naninigurado lang!" sabi nya at umupo sa sa tabi ng chair ko.
Inirapan ko nalang sya.
