"What-what are you saying?" I asked in disbelief.
"Jacques is my son, Iris..." he stated.
Natutop ko ang bibig ko at isa-isa nang nagbagsakan ang mga luha ko. Hindi pa rin ako makapaniwalang tumitig sa kanya.

Hindi pa ako rumarampa oh?!""Oh okay, alright, I'll stop for a while. Later na lang," her mom responded. Kaia looked at me and rolled her eyes to the fullest.Nasa labas kami ngayon ng PICC. Today is our graduation day! That's why I couldn't blame Kaia's mom for crying out loud because it was the moment we were all waiting for. Considering that Kaia and I stopped for one year.

I exited my office and I saw my officer's busy doing something on their laptops. And then I call out Matt."Who's attending the ID?""Sina Akin, Pres," Matt answered. "Umalis na ako kasi hindi naman ako pinapansin ni Akin kasi dumating 'yung mga magagandang SA. Kaya umalis na lang ako," he dramatically narrated.

THE GOOD EQUAL | TGEEPILOGUEPART1JOAQUIN"Jacques, where's my kiss?" Iris called out our son. She's about to leave for work but Jacques is keeping her stilled in her spot. Iris then gave me a look."Where's Jacques?" she mouthed.I shrugged, which made her roll her eyes."Pakikuha na siya please, mala-late na ako," she pleaded. I crooked a smile before I rose from the couch and fetch our son from his room.It was already a routine. Iris always had a hard time going to her work early because our son is keeping her late. I wouldn't blame my son though, I would rather have Iris give me a look forever but at least I can see her every day and have her around with me and Jacques than see her for 5 hours a day.

“Miss Wilson, you may start with your introduction.” Our Prof said. Maingat kong pinasadahan ng kamay ko ang script na hawak ko for this debate. Naglalaman ito ng mga rebuttals ko tungkol sa film na Dancer in the dark. “This counter-argument will be divided into three sections: 1. Psychological aspect; 2. Culture and Economy; 3.
