BAKIT ANG SAKIT

First, let me tell you a little something about myself...

I grew up in a middle class family which provides adequately for the needs of four children, my two sisters and a brother. We grew up in a, well somewhat suburbia in the southern part of Manila. My sisters and I studied elementary in a Catholic school run by nuns. My parents, though devout catholics, raised us as liberal minded individuals. However, growing up with two older sisters who are... ok fine... I admit it... prettier than I am, and teased always because of my "average" Pinoy nose (read: pango), I became shy. My siblings and I were never close during our teens that the adolescent stage of my life was quite lonely.

I do have a few close girl friends back then. But, with the somewhat conservative upbringing by their families as well, we never talk about "taboo" subjects -- especially sex!

Isang araw, sinundo ko si Mira sa kanila para sabay na kami pumasok sa school. 1:00pm ang pasok namin noon, at sinabi niya na 12:00pm nalang ako pumunta. Pero sinadya ko pumunta ng mas maaga, 10:00am. Hindi ko sinabi sa kanya na papunta na ako, basta nalang nandun na ako sa bahay nila at kumakatok.

College na ako ng unang beses ako nagkaroon ng girlfriend, 3rd year college to be exact. Dahil may pagka torpe ako, hindi ko magawang manligaw kaya hindi ako magkaroon ng girlfriend. but, my first experience was with my first girlfriend. Here's how it started.

Mira: Bakit ba si John ang binibida mo eh ikaw ang katext ko?

Rj: Nagpapalakad nga sa akin si John, gusto ka daw niya.
