THE TIME OF MY LIFE

January 10… the first remarkable day of my existence this 2009! The time of my life!

Na-meet ko for the first time ang parents and younger sister ni Babe (that’s how I call my bf). So what’s new in meeting your bf’s parents and younger sis? Well, out of the country si bf, in short, mag-isa lang akong haharap sa parents and sister niya… WENDY MEETS BF’S PARENTS AND YOUNGER SIS!!! Whola!

First, noong malayo pa ang date kung kailan kami magkikita, everything is okay naman, actually, am so excited to meet them. I also told my officemates/friends about it and even some of my aunts. I often crack jokes pa nga regarding it… “how will answer their questions, ala-beauty queen ba?” “Do I have to stand up and hands on hips while answering their queries?” Kaloka…

Moving forward… the day came, January 10… Oh my goodness... Mula nang magising ako, may drum roll na sa dibdib ko and butterflies starts to play inside my tummy. Natatakot, nininerbiyos, nahihiya and other stuffs keeps coming in and out of my system. At siyempre, ayokong pumunta at i-meet ang parents ni bf na walang dala, so what I did, lahat ng souvenir item ng office dinalhan ko sila… san ka pa?! PA-GOOD SHOT! Naman! Kidding!

Meeting time, 3:00 pm… oh my goodness… 3:00 pm on the way pa lang ako to Makati kung saan kami magkikita. In short, late ako… WENDY YOU'RE ALWAYS LATE! Around 4:00 na ako dumating… MINUS 1,000 GANDA POINTS! Toinks!

Going back, habang nasa cab ako going to Makati, honestly I want to back out. I asked my self na tama ba ang gagawin ko, haharap ako sa parents ni bf for the first time… alone… no back up from bf? However, may briefing naman mula kay bf regarding his family, but still, anxiety is in my system… how will I deal with them? How will I talk to them? Do I have to beso them, kiss their hands? How will I address them, tito, tita... sir, ma'am? LIFE LINE: CAN I CALL A FRIEND?

On my way to Makati, text messages from my officemates/friends starts to boost my self-confidence... NO NEED TO BACK OUT! KAYA KO 'TO... AJA!

Sabi ng officemates/ friends ko, be your self. But how can I be my self eh ninenerbiyos ako? shaiks… iba ako kapag may daga sa dibdib, ‘di ako makapag-isip nang maayos. be my self... eh, medyo maarte ako... really promise... BIG NO NO, 'di puwede mag-inarte.

In a resto in Makati, doon kami nagkita… azuzzz… hindi pa doon ang major talk. Pagkatapos sa namin sa isang resto sa Makati, bf’s parents look for a cozy place in the open where we can share some stuffs… THIZ IZ THE MOMENTZZZZ!

No joke... mabait ang parents ni bf, but to be honest, ninenerbiyos ako sa parents niya and I don’t know why. 'Di ko lang ipinahalata na I am so nervous at sana ay ‘di nga nila nahalata… hehe.

Eto pa, we’re talking about smoking… suddenly, nabanggit ko na nag-i-smoke si bf. Then bf’s father asked me again kung nag-i-smoke si bf… ang I said yes dahil nag-i-smoke si bf. Then… oppsss… ‘di nga pala yata nila alam na nag-i-smoke si bf…. lagot si bf, alam na ngayon sa kanila na nag-i-smoke siya and it’s all because of my honesty… Hahaha

Hindi ko na idi-detail ang iba pang napag-usapan namin, somehow, so far so good naman lahat. Pero hanggang ngayon, ‘di pa rin nagsi-sink in sa system ko na na-meet ko na parents ni bf. Actually, puzzle na ako ngayon kung ano reaction ng parents ni bf after nila ako makilala… kumusta naman kaya ang rating ng lola n’yo? Though tingin ko okay naman ang naging conversation... pero feeling ko I messed around. 'Di ko alam kung nakasagot ako ng maayos sa mga questions nila... MY GOODNESS! Feeling ko rin kasi parang napipi ako, makuwento rin naman akong tao somehow pero bakit bigla yatang naglaho… Oh my goodness… TAKE TWO... TAKE TWO!
