Well...
I think luck is not on my side. Lola's first words when she talked to me as we picked her up at the airport this morning was: "Georgina, please invite Javier Uvero for lunch tomorrow."
I seriously don't know if Lola just have this super sharp memory or if one of my brothers tattled. Napapaisip tuloy ako kung hindi ba sapat iyong suhol ko sa kanila...
Katatapos lang namin kumain ng dinner at nag-iisip ako kung paano ko ba sasabihin kay Austin na gusto siyang imbitahan ni Lola bukas. Feeling ko naman okay lang 'yon sa kanya kasi nagawa nga niyang harapin sina Mom. Pero iba talaga kapag si Lola, e...
I left him a message.
Georgina Meredith Sy: Hi. Are you free tomorrow lu

Miss"We already gave you the permission, Austin. Guess it'll be up to Gia and maybe Mama, too," Dad said. My parents are both smiling. Even Tito Richard and Tita Aline."Learn from him, Spence. Ikaw din Aspen. That's how you do it," rinig kong sabi ni Tyler. He's pertaining to what Austin did. Kuya Van agreed, too. Naging maingay naman sila dahil doon.I don't know what to feel. Everything's so overwhelming."You got my approval, hijo. I'm not sorry for the questions but I hope you don't nurse a grudge against me because of that?" Lola said and that sparked laughter from their end.Austin chuckled, too. "Hindi po. I completely understand."I stood up from my chair. My family turned their

DrunkIt's Austin's birthday.I spent the whole morning looking for a gift. Mamayang gabi pa iyong party sa bahay nila. I asked my brothers and cousins what's the best gift to give and they all just gave me extreme and weird answers.Sabi ni Tyler, bigyan ko raw ng ticket papuntang US para makanuod ng golf tournament na sinasalihan din ng ilang sikat na NBA players. Sabi ni Kuya Van, Aspen at Esther, sagutin ko na raw si Austin. Spencer suggested that I should play basketball with Austin and let him win. As if I stand a chance against him? I know the technicalities of basketball but I don't play.Sabi naman ni Austin basta pumunta lang ako sa party niya okay na. Pero gusto ko pa rin siya bigyan ng regalo. Halos malibot ko ang buong mall kanina sa paghahanap. In the end, I got hi

DrunkI was silently eating my food when someone spoke to me. It's Austin's eight year-old cousin. She's the youngest one here."Ate, you are so pretty. Kuya Austin said you are Chinese but you don't have singkit eyes," she said."You are so pretty, too. I have Chinese blood but I don't look singkit because I inherited most of my Mom's features," I said and smiled at her. She's so cute!"Ate Gia is talented, too. She's so good at painting and photography," Inigo said.What? Is he complimenting me just so I'd forget about his drunken moment? No way."Really? Can you take a good picture of me?" she asked and turned to her mom to ask for a camera.

EffectBukas pa ang dating ni Kuya Theo. We are all excited. He's been studying in Ohio for almost six months now. Ngayong last week ng taon lang siya nakakuha ng break.We'll spend New Year in Subic. Si Kuya Van at Tyler ang nagplano noon. I'm not quite sure if they just really wanted a short vacation or if they'll try to do something crazy again. Like surfing or any extreme water sports. I swear one day, idi-disown na sila ni Lola. Those two are the worst together. Hindi ko nga alam kung paano nila napapayag si Lola."Gi, can you reach Austin and ask if the game will push through?" Spencer asked. Nakaupo kami sa couch habang nanonood sa laro ni Aspen at Tyler. I don't know what game it is pero iyon daw 'yong binili nila sa Shanghai dati. Aspen even bragged that it's limited edition so a noob like me isn't allowed to play.

Grateful"Why are you crying?" I worriedly asked.Agatha immediately wiped her tears away."I miss you so much!""I miss you so much, too. But please, tell me first why you're crying?" pag-uulit ko. Kinakabahan ako sa kanya, e."I feel so guilty for ignoring you this past week. I'm sorry..." she said. Hindi pa rin siya tumitigil sa pag-iyak. Nahahawa na rin tuloy ako...Hinayaan ko lang muna siya na magsalita."It was so stupid of me. Crush ko lang naman si Sandro pero ang OA ng reaksiyon ko. Nalaman ko kasi na sa'yo pala siya interesado... I just felt really sad and hurt. Feeling ko kasi kaya lang siya nakipag usap sa'kin kasi kaibigan kita..

My GirlAustin tried hard to console me. Kahit pa okay naman talaga ang pakiramdam ko. Tumigil kami sa park malapit sa subdivision namin at doon nagpalipas ng oras. Ayaw niya kasing umuwi ako nang hindi niya nalalaman kung ano'ng nangyari sa'kin. He just kept on asking me what's wrong and that made me tear up even more. Kapag kasi tinatanong ako kung okay lang ba ako, mas lalo lang akong naiiyak.In the end, I got to convince him that I'm just really grateful and I'm not hurt physically or in any way. Ang tagal bago siya naniwala.Kinabukasan ay maaga kaming bumiyahe papuntang Subic. Medyo inaantok pa ako kasi ang tagal kong nakatulog kagabi. Tumawag kasi si Agatha tapos kung anu-ano na naman ang pinag-usapan namin na di ko na namalayan ang oras.Nasa hiwalay kaming sasakyan nin

Plot twistI stepped back immediately because we were so close to each other."Yeah," I managed to say.We always, always meet in an unexpected setting."Sinong kasama mo?" tanong niya."Family," tipid kong sagot.He nodded. "You want to join me for a drink?" muli niyang tanong at tinuro pa ang table 'di kalayuan. Mayroong isang lalaki roon na sa tingin ko'y kapatid o kapamilya niya.Seriously, when will he stop inviting me for drinks or coffee?Umiling ako. Trying not to be rude in the process of declining. I was about to excuse myself to go to Esther when he said something.

Plot twistWe stopped for lunch in a nearby resto then spent the whole afternoon visiting the Spanish Gate, a heritage site here in Subic, and Zoobic Safari. We enjoyed most in the Safari. Mas maganda pala pumunta roon kapag gabi pero hindi na kami pwede magtagal. Ang saya magpapicture kasama ng mga crocodiles pati na roon sa isang tiger. Ang friendly kasi nila ang sarap gawing pet. Pero bawal naman yata 'yon.The safari was our last stop for the day. Pinapauwi na kasi kami ni Lola. I think she's paranoid again that we'll do something crazy or extreme. Grabe talaga ang na-instill na doubt nina Kuya Van at Tyler kay Lola...The ride back to the beach house took almost an hour. Nakatulog na nga ako sa biyahe kahit pa nararamdaman ko na panay ang vibrate ng cellphone ko sa bulsa ng suot kong maong skirt. Gabi na nang makauwi k

— Georgina Meredith —So far, everything about our honeymoon is perfect. The destination, the landscape, the food, the beaches... Literally everything. It's a perfect package to celebrate Austin and I's union.Yesterday, we spent the day doing island tours. Ngayon naman ay katatapos lang sa massage at spa. I'd say it's one of the best I've ever had, very relaxing that I really fell asleep. Ayaw ni Austin kaya ako lang ang nag-enjoy doon. He just waited for me to finish."Aus, let's visit the night market later?" I asked when we got back to our villa. Beachfront iyon kaya maganda ang tanawin. Also located on the secluded part of the resort so there's privacy."You want to?""Kung gusto mo."

Austin Javier's life before he met Georgina Meredith"Javi!" Jaco called. I was dribbling the ball and I passed it to him. He immediately released it for a three-point shot. When it went in, he celebrated and looked in my direction. "Nice assist!" he shouted and I acknowledged him.I started running to the other side of the court and guarded the opponent."You're unbelievably serious today, bro. Practice game lang, e," my teammate from the opposite team said.It's true that it's just a practice game but that doesn't give me the pass to slack off. Papalapit na ang UASA kaya dapat pagbutihin ko pa lalo. My teammates don't think the same, though. Probably because this is the second game already and the first one was too tiring. Everybody was giving it their all. Kaya ngayon na pang

Georgina Meredith’s life before she met Austin Javier"Georgina!"Nilingon ko ang tumawag sa akin habang tinatahak ang hallway ng main building at nakita ko ang isang senior ko."Ano po 'yon?"Nakahabol siya sa akin at hinihingal na inabot ang hawak niya. Envelope iyon at mukhang may letter sa loob. Hindi pa man nabubuksan ay alam ko na kung ano 'yon. The design of the envelope already gave away the letter's intent. Love letter ito, alam ko."You dropped this from your book," he replied and glanced at the book I was holding. Kumunot ang noo ko dahil paano naman napunta 'yon sa libro ko? Kahit nagtataka ay tinanggap ko iyon."Thanks... Sorry, you had to run after me for this."

— Georgina Meredith —Austin and I are sorting out all the gifts we've received. Sa dami ay hindi na namin alam kung saan ilalagay ang iba. All of it are delivered in our condo. Ang isang guest room ay halos mapuno na dahil doon namin dinala ang malalaking regalo."Not to sound too ungrateful but wow, there's no end to this," I said when I finished unwrapping another gift.Nakaupo ako sa carpet ng living room. I can already feel my leg cramping up so I decided to stand up and stretch. Hindi pa man nakakapag-unat ay marahan na akong hinila ni Austin para maupo sa hita niya. His arms immediately wrapped around me."You can rest. We're not in a rush, are we?" he whispered before gently kissing my cheek. Dahil nakasandal ako sa kanya ay madali

Sana si Rex na ang susunod!"Kaliwa't-kanan ang mga bati na natatanggap namin ni Austin mula sa mga bisita. It feels heartwarming and at the same time overwhelming. Who knew this many people care about us? I personally didn't so I treasured each and every wish they had for us."Are you tired? We can rest for a bit and eat while we're at it," Austin said."I can manage. Mamaya na lang. We need to greet the other guests pa."Mat

― Georgina Meredith ― "I can't believe my only daughter is getting married," Mom said after one heavy sigh.I can't help but chuckle. "Mom, need I remind you again that I'm already married? It will be a second wedding."Ilang beses ko nang nabanggit na nagpakasal na kami ni Austin sa Vegas pero parang hindi tumatatak sa kanya 'yon. It's just funny to me because I know exactly why she's being like that.When my family learned about my first wedding, they were all disapproving. Not in a negative way, though. Iyon bang parang nagtatampo sila na hindi ko pinaalam sa kanila agad. They knew about it months after."'Tsaka ang bilis n'yo lang naman pumayag nang magtanong sainyo si Austin, e," dagdag ko.
