12noon, Saturday. 

Kaninang umaga pa ako balisa, ni halos di ko maubos breakfast ko. Syadong excited? (Di naman msyado..tamang-tama lang. Makailang beses na nga ako nanalamin if ok na ba itsura ko for today's event. Makailang fit na rin ako ng susuutin maya. Makailang praktis na din ako ng sasabihin ko kase baka ma starstruck ako di ako makapagsalita so better be prepared sa speech, at tiyak ko, pag nginitian ako ni Tzu..dedz on the spot na ako, este himatayin. hehe)

Pano ba maging kalmado? Yan yung isang karakter na di ko ma-adopt at magawa. Ngayon pa nga lang eh nate-tense na ako. 

Ano naman kaya iniisip at nararamdaman ni Tzu now as I checked my watch, 45 minutes before 1 na and she will have to face me? Najajahe na ako tuloy. Makabihis na nga. It took me 10 minutes and now I'm good to go. Naka-black candy pants lang naman ako, grey loose v-neck shirt na naka-tuck in ang front sa pants ko with a converse black shoes. I don't have to look super extra today since Tzu is a simple woman.

5 minutes before 1, here I am nervously impatiently waiting for her. I have been checking my watch every after a minute kase I can't wait to see her.

3 minutes before 1, I see her approaching, Good thing she can recognize me by far. Layo pa lang nakasmile na sya, hihimatayin na talaga ko..makailang buntung-hininga na ko. As she comes closer, I took a deep breath and readied myself. I checked how I smell, and double checked my breath. And my dark red : brownish lipstick (I can't go on a day talking to people with no lipstick on. Because you look younger when you wear one. Di naman sa ang tanda-tanda ko tignan pag wala. But for me, you look blooming when you have one, even with no powder on..being pale isn't noticeable.  I don't mind if my face is oily. Sometimes, lip gloss will do for me.) All good. This is it.

"Uyyy...Seul! Nauna ka." bati nya. She only has some lose powder, light blush on and a light pink glossy lipstick but it looked so kissable, I swear.

Nangingiti akong nagsalita "Kesa naman ikaw yung mauna't maghintay. Sagwa naman nun, it's our first.....ahh..friendly date and I don't want to mess it up. Kung ayaw mo edi, hintay ka dito, lalakad ako palayo then pabalik, let's pretend you are the one waiting and kakarating ko lang."

She laughed so hard "hay sira ulo ka talaga Seul! hahah!" and asked "friendly..???!"

"Eh..ikaw..ano ba sa tingin mo? I just don't want to assume things. Hirap na, ma-wrong."

"Sira! Ako pa tinanong mo." and laughed again.

"Where do you want to eat?"

Napakunot-noo sya "Kain agad na sa mind mo? Kadarating ko lang. Pwede siguro munang maupo tayo no Seul..?"

"Oo naman...babe..nagutom kase ako bigla pagkakita ko sayo, para kang fave kong food." wika ko, pero yung babe, pina-low volume na I thought ako lang nakadinig.

"I heard it.."

"Ang para kang fave food ko kaya nagutom ako bigla when I saw you..?!" pa-inosente kong tanong.

 Tinapik nya ko ng mahina sa braso.. "loko ka talaga. hindi! basta I heard it! Pakiulit!"

Umiling-iling ako.. "Ahhh..alin nga? Ang ano??" natatawa kong tanong.

"Ulitin mo yung after sa Oo naman,," nakangiting sabi nya.. "or else,uuwi ako"

"Seryoso?" tanong ko, tumango sya pero nakangiti (may sayad din tong babaeng to.) "Babe!" (kabago-bago pa lang namin, nagta-tantrums na. Demanding si babe. hehe.)

Mas lumala yung smile nya and I swear I was so kilig!

"Upo tayo." sa may bench sa ilalim ng puno, kaharap yung fountain. "Ooppsss..teka.." pinunasan ko yung uupuan nya.

"Thanks.."

Umupo na din ako. Naka white round neck shirt at jeans with slipon sandals sya, simple pero ang ganda pa din nya tignan. Isang inch lang yung pagitan namin pero sa isip ko, sa loob-loob ko, gustong-gusto ko ng mas malapit, yung madidinig ko yung tibok ng puso nya, (pero wag na..baka madinig din nya pagsisigaw ng puso ko..kakahiya. syadong OJ na OA.)

"Tzu..tayo na ba?" tanong ko skanya ng hindi sya nililingon. Nagbla-blush ako na nahihiya yung tipong nginitian ka ng crush mo ng magkatagpo kayo sa daan, yung ganun.

Tumango-tango sya. "Seul ang bilis-bilis mo talaga. Sure ka na ba? Di ba ako masasaktan nito sa bandang huli, baka kasi trip-trip mo lang to.." sumeryeso sya bigla.

"if you can only hear what my heart says now..you will not ask that at all."

Natahimik sya. Just when I looked at her is just in time she looked at me. There I see in her eyes a kind of look with so much feelings in it, I see happiness and love. I felt so pleased. I couldn't help it, I kissed her on the cheek real quick and said : "you look so adorable today.."

She blushed. I saw it though she looked away, "ang bilis mo! di ka man lang nagpaalam, nakakabigla ka! Sa susunod magsabi ka ha para di ako mabigla." and she smiled her signature sweet sweet smile I am losing breath about when I see.

"Oh ano...tayo na ba?? sagot o uuwi ko!" I imitated her and laughed.

"Seryoso?" imitate nya din saken. "matapos mo akong halikan, no..ninakawan ng halik pala, and yung sagot ko sa sulat you still ask me if tayo na ba Seul?"

"Iba pa din pag personal mong maririnig..official na offficial na talaga.."

"Oo na...tayo na.."

"Sure ka? Patunayan mo?'

"pa--pano?" she curiousedly asked while she stared at me.

"kiss me real quick too like I did and I believe you!"

"loko-loko!!!" she laughed harder this time.

After few minutes of talking..we decided to eat. Di naman daw sya gutom kase kumain na sya sa bahay but since it's our first date she only would like to have some deserts, I insisted sa isang kilalang resto, she didn't at first agree but later on pumayag na din.

"Seul, halos lahat ng nadadaanan natin napapatingin"

"Syempre, ang gwapo ng kasama mo, dapat kang maging proud!"

"Dapat na siguro ako masanay sa pagiging kalog mo from now on." she said while laughing.

It was amost 6pm when we decided to go home and talked about when to meet again.

"I enjoyed today, Seul..Thanks!" then she kissed me on the cheek also imitating what I did.

"tayo na nga talaga" I said.

She blushed, smiled and went home.
