Part 3 -- Moms knows d' BEST.

"This is the start of something new.." I wasn't really expecting that he would wanted to see me again. I was really surprised.  


"Good morning Ms. Margarette. :)" he texted early in the morning. 


I instantly texted him back, "You woke up eaaaarly. Any, morning also nerdy chicken." 


A text from him brightened up my day. Reminiscing the moment we had last night. 


"Now, its my turn to protect you.." Those words echoed in my mind. What does it mean? So he wanted to protect me? Why did he say such thing? Does he really mean it? Questions begun to pop up in my mind. Marco is the one who can answer these questions. 


I went downstairs to have my breakfast. Which is my daily routine to have breakfast with my mom coz' due to our busy schedules this is the only time we could eat together.


"Hi mom!" Hugging her tightly.


"Looks like your in a good mood hunnie." 


I giggled. "Kinda?"


"So Whos with you last night?" she asked in a curious eyes.


My mom wanted me to have a boyfriend but once she met my suitors, she instantly changed her mind. Then she will just used her powerful lines "What if you get married? How about me? I will be here left alone. What if something bad happened to me? (Then she will just knock-on-wood to prevent the bad omen) Blah. Blah." So in that case, due to her dramatic acting skills, I decided not to entertain suitors. 


"Oh well. A long lost friend of mine." Reaching the box of cerials on the cabinet. 


"Oh.. You aren't telling me that you have a long lost friend." She raised her eyebrow to me.


"MUUUUM!" hugging her again.


"Here have some cereals." I kissed her in the cheeks and gave her the box of cereals.


"I know.. I'm just worried."  


The reason why my mom is like that coz' she had a failed marriage to who else but my dad. They are always arguing stuffs that both of them only knew. I was 7 years old then when they decided to have an annulment. As a kid that time, I don't have any idea what was going on between the two of them. My mom kept telling me that due to the work of my dad he had to go somewhere else far away from us. Which is always my reasonable exuse whenever my classmates are looking for my dad. There were few moments to remember with my dad. I think the happiest moment I had with him. hmmm.. I guess there is none to remember..


Now, I am 23 yrs old, years have been passed and I don't get to see my dad. No calls, texts or e-mails. According to my aunt, the sister of my long lost father that he has now have a new family. 2 kids. And they lived at Missisaunga, Canada. Well, best wishes to my dad. Hoping hes doing well right now. 


I don't have grudges towards my parents. If they decided to part ways, if they think that's the best thing to do. It's fine with me. At least, I have a mom whos always besides me. And for that I salute her for being the bestest mom ever!


"Muuum. You don't have to. He was just an old friend during our h.s days. Nothing to worry about." I smiled while holding her hand.


"Thanks Hunnie. For understanding me." 


"yes mother dear. I know.. Look! You have lots of lines in your face. So better relax. Okay?" I said to lighten up the conversation and stop her from emoting again.  


She just smiled at me. 


If ever I have been given a chance to give her a reward that would be "The best emotional/loving/caring/tough mother".  


So after having a breakfast to my best actress mother dear. I hurried to go upstairs. I grabbed my phone. I got 10 messages. Some messages were from the clients.


Two messages from Marco. The first message:
"yup I have to get up early. Can't wait to see you later. "


The second message:
"how about we could watch a movie. I have free tickets. :D"

I texted him back saying "yeah sure i love to! See yah! :)"


Lets just see what will happen later. Hoping it would be a good one. *crossing my two fingers*


Playing the song Hero of Foo Fighters on my I-pod.


"There goes watching as he goes." I murmured.

The "D" Love.

Here it goes again! Haha. Another writing of mine. Haha! Right after you read it. For sure you'll gonna say "CORNY MO TIN!") LOL. :))

..

There is a time, I feel I am so desperate enough to have that someone.
It feels like everytime I'm seein couples, there is a feeling that I want one.
I miss the feeling of having arguments or petty fights then afterwards, he'll just hug you and say sorry.
I miss the feeling of having deep and serious conversations.
I miss the feeling of talkin to someone when I can't sleep at night.
I miss the feeling of laughing with someone who can't tell jokes at all.
I miss the feeling of writing love notes.
I miss the feeling of bein so in-love.

UGH! I know it really takes time.
Just wait for the right time.
Wait for your turn.
Just pray for it.
Blah. Blah.

COULD YOU JUST BOUNcE YOUR ASS BESIDE ME, HOLD MY HAND AND TELL ME YOUR FINALLY THE ONE IM LOOKIN FOR!

I'm tiiired of waaaiiting. So hurry up!

P.S. don't forget to introduce yourself. :p

Every drops of the rain puts smile on my face.
There is a feeling of enthusiasm.

The feelin I'm longing for.
The feelin that I won't forget.
The feelin that everytime I'm remembering every moment it makes me wanna say this words.

The feelin that I languished for.
The feelin that I'm craving for.
The feelin that I want.

Scene 1. -- "Meet-up"

..
I was so nervous with my client. It was my first time to present my idea. Crossing my fingers real tight. By the way, I'm Margarette. I finished Marketing Management at Ateneo. My mom wanted me to handle some of her businesses so she insisted me to take a business course. Which I really don't like and I don't like the pressure going through her business. Seriously, I wanted to take fine arts. But, my mom is the one who will decide for my future. You know moms always knows the best for their kids. Luckily, I passed and finished this business course with good grades. 




"Hey you look Familiar." 
His excited grin stretched wide across his face.


"me? uh? you sure? coz' I don't know you." I shrugged. Raising my eye brow. 


"It's me Marco! Nerdy chicken, remember?"


I knew this guy.. Where did I met him.. hhhhhhhmmmmmm.. Then suddenly flash backs begun to refresh my mind. 


Marco was my former classmate during my high school days. He's the smartest boy I remembered. Wearing thick glasses and braces. His friends were also geek like him and they are always in the library reading those heavy encyclopedias.  
He belongs to the low set of losers. What do you expect? If you would ask me what was I during our high school? I'm just a typical girl. Not the smartest one. I hate math. I'm not the friendliest one but I have friend. But most of the time, I spend my free time at the Art room. Doing my craft. 

My evil classmates are always bullying Marco. It became a daily routine to them to beat him up. Coz' the boy doesn't have any reaction at all. Whether he's hurt or not. I guess he was already immune to it coz' it was the same scene everyday.  


But seeing him like that bothers me a lot.. 


One day during our lunch break.




"I can't stand this anymore. I don't want to see this boy suffer too much. I have to do something." As I thought in my mind.    
I walked through them. With a bottle of watter in my hand. 


"You guys stop this insanity right now!" I demanded.


They just ignored me and continued bullying the boy. Like they don't hear me.  

"YOU BASTARDS!! I SAID STOP IT!" can't help my self but shout those words with anger in my voice. I threw the bottle of water to them.  


Everyone around me looked at me. I caught everybodies attention. I felt like I was some kind of a hero which I used to watched on movies then there was the bad guys and I have to rescue the poor boy


My bully classmates just stared at me. I think they are really pissed off especially when I threw the bottle of water to them. 


"Your one lucky boy. Guess you have a savior here." One of my bully classmate said. Then off they go.


Finally its over! 


I feel a sudden relief.


The poor boy Marco was extremely shocked. And didn't know what to say. 

"You nerdy chicken!" in an angry voice. "Why are you just letting them to do that to you? You have your hands to defend your self. Don't let your hands cover your fears. USE THEM SO IT CAN PROTECT YOU FROM THOSE BASTARDS!" I growled.


"Thank you.." He muttered.


"Remember these 3 words: KICK THEIR ASS!" 


I don't know if those words is a good motivation. But, hopefully it will. 


..


I smiled.
"HEY! It's you! It's been a long time. Sorry I didn't notice you coz' your not wearing your glasses anymore. And also the braces. Nice! They're all gone." 


I didn't recognize this man. He changed a lot from the Nerdy chicken that I knew. He had grown into some of his potentials.


"Yeah, I have to get in with the new trends. yah know! So what are you doing here?" he said enthusiastically. 



"My mom sent me here to talked with a client. How about you?" I can't help myself to look in to his bright eyes. I was amazed coz' before I didn't notice that he's good looking. 


"I'm actually working here. As a.."
He paused. 


Then a woman approached him. "Sir! I was looking for you all around. Here are the papers, you need to sign them as soon as possible and you are going to be late in your next meeting. You should be there at exactly 10 mins."


"Ms. Margarette, take this." He handed me a calling card. "Sorry. I'll be heading now. Call me. Maybe we could have a good conversation some other time." he smiled perfectly. He's teeth were white and bright.


"Alright. Maybe nextime." I said.


"I'll wait for your call." then he turned his back and walked slowly away from me. 


Looks like the nerdy chick is already a grown up man. I was really surprised on his transformation. Its been years since I last saw him. But what do you expect from being a nerd to a prince. -- "Swee-eet." 

Seventeen.

My memorable birthday would be when I was turning 17. (It should be 18 right? Ha ha! But I guess, my 17th birthday is one of the most exciting one.) 


So the story goes like this.
Me and some of my groupmates are in the library discussing our marketing plan. (Even though its my birthday I'm bombarded with school works.) So we just talked about the things that our group should do before our final defense. Well anyways, my phone started to rang. 
When I looked at it. A call from an unknown number. So thoughts begun to run on my head like He-who-should-not-be-named is calling to greet me a happy birthday and at the same time to say he's sorry about the things he've done to me and he wants me back. (Definetely in my dreams!)  


I answered the call. Coz' I might miss the chance to talk to him... Though I'm not really sure that he's the one calling. 


Someone is singing a birthday song in a not so good tone. So I answered it a nervous tone. "Sino to?" then he (yes he's a guy. Obviously in his voice.) just ignored me and sing. I'm not good in guessing so I was expecting that he-who-should-not-be-named is the one I'm talking to. But guess what I was wrong! (it's been a long time since the last time we've talked so I'm not familiar with his voice anymore.)


So after the solo concert. I asked him for the last time. "Sino ba kasi to?"


Then he answered in a sweet and gentle voice. "I.K"


MY HEART FELL! When he said his name. (Hes real name is george. I don't know the story behind the name "I.k") My heart beats faster for every seconds. My hands begun to sweat cold. And I really don't know what to say first. It felt like I'm already in our final Defense. The feeling of being in tensed and perssured. This feeling is not usual coz' 


"I like him.." 


I talked to someone who I've never thought of greeting me or either singing me a birtday song. 


"Uh? Seryoso? As in IK? OH? Wow! Pano mo nalaman na birthday ko?"


"Marie told me it was your birthday. So Happy birthday christine!"


"Oh? Wow! Thank you!" Of course, I have to say my thank you coz' he had the effort calling me and the singing part also. Ha ha! 


"Regalo ko?" I demanded. WOAAAH! Can't control the words I'm saying. Well, I wanted to talked to him longer so I started to say things that are non-sense at all. 


"Ano ba gusto mo?" he said. 


"SM!" Withouth thingking again. What the hell am I saying? LOL. I said SM?! Ugh! I feel embarassed when I said that.
Then I changed it to, "Ay! Gusto ko ng kwek-kwek! Kumakaen ka ba ng street foods? Alam mo ba yung kwek-kwek?" 


"Oo naman. Lalo na yung ku-wek-wek." Can't stop laughing when he said "ku-wek-wek".   


One of my groupmate pinched me and said, "SSSSSH!" I almost forgot that I'm in the library. Coz' I was laughing at loud all the time.


"I have a deal. Sige Treat ko lahat. Date tayo! Basta You have to sell the boxes." He is reffering to the boxes we are about to sell. You know networking. 


"Sure yun lang pala eh!" I said. Then suddenly I realized that how can I sell those boxes???!!!


....


So we ended the conversation coz' he had a meeting. 


After the phone call. There we're butterflies in my stomach. I feel the andrenaline rush running in to my blood. I feel ALIVE! I feel that I was regenerated.  Coz' I can't hardly believe that a person like "him", a beautiful man, rich and intelligent would be calling a not so related girl like me. I mean we're not friends at all.  


Sad thing that our deal was just a piece of talk. Well, I'm not really expecting it. Talking to him is a great pleasure. 


So right know, I don't have the chance to see him again or either any news about him but we're friends on Facebook. I've seen his status and he's commited. Well, good for him. And bad for me. Ha ha kidding! I really don't like him as in totally. I just admired him. That's all. No special feelings or whatsoever! We are not in the same level. He's in a high society and I'm just in an average level.
Just like the dramas I've seen, "Langit ka, lupa ako." LOL! I am sooooo corny!! >:)) *can't help it. sorrrrry*


     

What can I say?

Product of my boredom. :D

Koi go ko ro~!

At first, I don't have any idea about cosplays. And it didn't interest me at all.
Coz' it was just a bunch of people who used to dress up like their favorite animes. 
Well, of course those costumes would probably cost them a lot of bucks. 
And I'm not a anime fan at all. *hides*


IT ALL STARTE.D
When I saw the anime "Yamato Nadeshiko" on channel 5. Guess what???!! It changed my mind! 
I guess Anime is soooo damn good! Especially the story of "Yamato Nadeshiko" hooks me up. 
The characters were craaaaaazzzzyyy!! The flow of the story goes like these, there was a weird girl named Sunako who dresses up like a witch who loves to play with those scaaaary mannequins then there were 4 gorgeous men who was obliged by the aunt of Sunako to make her a full grown woman in free rent. But, Sunako doesn't like the fact that she needs to be a woman already. Anyways, watch it your self. Promise! It's a worth anime to watch. ;)

And so with the COSPLAY. 
When my cousins and I have this little reunion at my grandma's house, they were just babbling and babbling about animes and Cosplays. Especially they talked much about "ALODIA GOSIENGFIAO", the goddess of all cosplayers here in the Philippines. So after a looooong day talking about Alodia, I looked her up on the internet. And I was like "Oh my freaking gaaawd!! She's gorgeous!!" She got this coool pictures wearing these anime costumes. And she has this beautiful goddess body!  I was stunned the moment I looked at her pictures. *gay mode* >:))


I wanted to be like her! I swear I will join cosplays every year after I loose weight!! LOL!

The ultimate MOM.

Sometimes I'd felt like I'm alone. 
No ones around me. 
No ones there to listen. 
No one could understand what I want. 
Suddenly I realized. 
Though, sometimes my feelings are a little bit weird. 
That I used to feel those things.  
I could say that I'm lucky enough to have my MOM. 
My Positive side! 
Though, she's not perfect. 
She tries her best to understand me.
Whenever she sees me that I'm not in the mood. 
And I ain't talking to her.
She'll just go to my room and ask me what I want or why I'm acting strange again or If I'm mad at her. 
If I just ignored her and I don't want to tell her my problem. 
She'll just make a sad face. *teary eyed* then she'll gonna grab my foot and massage it. 


Then suddenly, I'll just tell her what's bothering me. Ha ha! Strange thing that whenever my mom used to massage my foot... BOOM! I'll just burst what my heart says. 




There is lot of Moms out there. Millions and millions of them. But, the coolest thing about my mom. She's the toughest one though sometimes she's also a cry baby like me. The best MOM, I should say.


No regret that she's my ultimate MOM!
