Masked Affliction

Inayos ko ang tassel earrings sa tenga ko. I put on the last thing I haven't applied yet to put color on my pale face. Ang may kaputlaan kong labi ay nabigyan kahit papaano ng kulay pagkatapos kong lagyan ng pulang lipstick ang labi. I sprayed ounce of perfume on my neck, collar bone, wrist and at the back of my ears. Vanilla scent played inside the four-cornered room as I swayed gracefully in front of the mirror. Huling pasada, nang makuntento sa itsura ay lumabas ako ng kuwarto. Ngayon magaganap ang pinakahihintay kong grant art exhibit. This was so special for me because this was a special event only for myself after all the hardworks and efforts I'd spent to prepare. Matagal ko nang pinangarap mangyari ang lahat ng ito, ngayon ay narito na. Abala nang makarating sa venue ang mga tauhan. My assistant was instructing huge and tall guys where to put my art canvas. Lahat ay maingat na maingat sa ginagawa, natatakot na makasira ng mga ipininta ko. They were all sealed in a fragile fra

I took scholarship examination in Chua High School and Colleges that summer.   I spent the Summer earning money by selling halo-halo to our place. Wala pa kasi ang result ng kinuha kong exam at lalabas pa sa katapusan ng May. If I may not be able to pass it, then I will just continue studying in my former school. Kapag nakapasa naman ay magkakaroon ako ng formal enrollment.    I wanted so much to be in that school so I studied hard the day before the scholarship examination. Naghanap ako ng mga coverage na madalas ilabas nila sa examination. Kadalasan doon ay mga lesson na na-take na namin sa mga naunang year. May mga bago ring lesson at kumuha na lang ako ng mga PDF files and google drive para mapag-aralan.  

We had our club hopping for two days where we had to choose which club we'll be in. Dalawa ang pipiliin namin, ang isa ay para sa academic club at ang isa ay para sa creative club. Few had to choose for the creative side, nahihirapan pa dahil wala namang skills sa area na iyon at more on academics lang. Athletes need not to worry about choosing because they were already in sports club so as the journalists who were in actibo writing. I planned on joining the arts club where my potential lies. Nagsusulat pa man lang ako ng pangalan ay excited na ako. We were making line outside the art room before the old club member decided to let us in. Naroroon ang teacher na major in arts and d

Nanatili siya sa pag-upo sa itaas ng desk ko at binabalanse lamang ang sarili ng mga paa. Nakatukod ang mga iyon nang mariin sa inuupuan ko. Pakiramdam ko ay kapag tatayo ako, magiging dahilan iyon upang bumagsak siya sa gumagalaw na desk. The thought that Ford can make that desk go wobble, girls were seemingly like that towards him too. Sakali mang tatayo ako mula sa pagkakaupo at mawalan ng balanse ang kaniyang pag-upo, babagsak talaga siya. Parang buong-buo pa ang tiwala niyang hindi ko siya hahayaang mahulog mula roon dahil nakatodo ang bigat niya sa pag-upo.  Tinaasan niya ako ng kilay. He's demanding me to get on our discussion for our reporting. Tinaasan ko rin siya ng kilay, I see to it that mine was higher. Ipinagkrus ko ang braso, hindi na naisip magpatalo sa pagiging arogante niya. Itinaas ko pa ang isang paa at ipinatong sa binti niya. He was not even su

The classes were again cancelled during the afternoon. The rest of the subject teachers did not came to our classes after it was announced that there will be sports tryout going to happen.  Iyong football team ay nagsisimula ng mag-ensayo dahil mauuna nga naman ang football competition. It was an outdoor sports where the field will be needed so it has to happen first before the rest of the sports team. Ngayon naman ay nagkukumpuni na sila ng mga bagong players na tatanggapin para maglaro kasama sa team.  "Basketball and Volleyball daw ngayon. Sa cheerleading naman, nag-eensayo na sila sa field kung saan malapit ang mga players ng football." I could feel the busy place right now and the ever enthusiastic girls. Lalo pa ngayon at magsisilabasan ang mga players. Marahil marami talagang maganda sa paningin ng mga babae ngayon.  Hila-hila na kami ni Athelia ngayon patungo kung saan. Hinahay
