Q&A.
Posted by Maane Simpas | Posted in | Posted on 5:58 PM
The noise of my brother and sister woke me up last night. They were in the other room, talking and laughing about something. Pissed because I only had an hour of sleep, I got up and went to my brother's room to reprimand them.
When I opened the door, the two immediately laughed when they saw me.
"Mangkuta na sya Mik ho," Pam said.
And both of them giggled but none asked a question.
I pressed for what Pam meant. I hate "pabitin".
PAM: "Hambal ni Mik, kung ako ang pinakagwapa sa classroom namon kag sya ang pinakagwapo sa classroom nila, ikaw man ang pinakagwapa sa classroom nyo?"
And my face lit up, because I didn't know how to react -- whether to get mad because a lame reason deprived me of sleep or to laugh because Pam just asked me a very interesting and somewhat rhetorical question.
With pride, I answered, "I am not as beautiful as you but I believe my beauty never fades."
And I went back to sleep.
