the assistant is show me the way where to shampoo.

chona mae: wala ba kayong banyo? bakit lababo lang? baka masilipan ako dito.

chona mae: a ganun ba?

assistant: opo.

the assistant is shampoo my hair and then she is return me to the chair. the bakla is come back and is give me hair cut. i ask the bakla to give me bangs so that i look like my idol claudine.

bakla: mas maganda to kung kulayan natin para sosyal ka.

chona mae: sige! gusto ko blondie.

chona mae: sige. game na!

is very exciting for my new hair with bangs and color. mam tess is still getting massage and manicure and pedicure. mam tess is also hot oil.

chona mae: di pa po.

mam tess: o halika na sabayan mo nako pagbabayad dito. tumayo ka na dyan para makauwi na tayo. bilis.

mam tess is get her bill and i get mine. i get shocking and nervious coz my bill is 2,700. my money is only 700. i want to cry and i get wet of sweat.

mam tess: o? ano? nabayaran mo na?

chona mae: kulang po e. 2,700 po e 700 lang po pera ko.

mam tess is get very angry and she is shout at me in the parlor.

mam tess: aba! ano ka sinisuwerte? chona! pagbabayarin mo ako ng dalawang libo para sa kalandian mo? may mga bangs at kulay ka pang nalalaman. dapat tinanong mo muna kung magkano bago ka nagpakulay!

chona mae: tinanong lang po kasi nung bakla kung gusto ko. kala ko po kasama na sa bayad ng gupit. kala ko po combo na yun.

mam tess: naku. sinisira mo araw ko. babayaran ko to pero sinasabi ko sayo, di ka na makakaulit sa akin! ibabawas ko to sweldo mo!

i start crying and everyone in the parlor is look at me. some are laugh. some are not. they are just look.

chona mae: mam sorry na po. di na po uulit.

mam tess: sige na sige na. grounded ka. di ka pwedeng lumabas ng bahay.

chona mae: di naman po talaga ako lumalabas ng bahay kasi ayaw nyo di ba?

mam tess: sumasagot ka ba?

chona ame: hindi po.

mam tess: bawal ka ring mag-computer. di ka rin pwedeng gumamit ng telepono.

chona mae: po? pano po pag tumawag si sir jeff?

mam tess: si myrna ang sasagot bakit?

chona mae: mam. sorry na po. di napo ako uulit. papatanggal ko na lang po yung kulay.

mam tess: sira! di pwedeng tanggalin yan! tara na! humanda ka pagdating sa bahay!

i cry and i cry until i go home. mam tess is not stop at shouting at me even in the car but she is only repeat everything that she is say to me.

but is a little bit ok now coz i am use the computer again and i am still happy for my hair coz it is have bangs and i am blondie just like the girls i see in hbo but i am not very blondie coz it is only highlights so i am half blondie and half black. =)

sir arnold: chona, maligo ka.

chona mae: naku sir wag po.


i get surprising and i cover my body with my hands coz i get scared. coz they say in TV that if the sir of the helper ask the helper to take a bath, he is rape her.


sir arnold: ano ba nangyayari sayo? tumigil ka nga dyan. maligo ka na at magbihis ka at sasama ka sakin. aalis tayo. susunduin natin si mam tess mo sa airport. bilisan mo at baka ma-late tayo.

chona mae: ay. ganun po ba. kala ko kasi.

chona mae: wala po. sige po. maliligo na po ako.

i am always exciting everytime mam tess and sir arnold are ask me to go with them coz i get very boring here in the house and i dont want to see aling choleng and myrna. mam tess and sir arnold are always ask me to go out with them coz aling choleng is the manager of the house and she cannot leave the house and she is always dizzy when she rides the car. suka ng suka. kadiri. myrna also cannot go coz if she is leave, aling choleng should go with her also thats why i am always the one who is go with sir and mam.

i take bath very quick coz sir arnold dont like to wait and he always in time. i wear my pants uniform. i am also very exciting for the pasalubong. i wish that mam tess is buy me chocolates.
we leave the house and we are go to the airport. many airplanes fly over and above the car. we wait and we wait and then mam tess is finally come. she has many bags small and big coz she is go to many places.

chona mae: hi mam! ako na po magdadala nyan. welcome to the philippines po. na-miss ko po kayo.

mam tess: asus. sipsip! wag kang mag-alala, may pasalubong ako sayo. kumusta naman kayo nila myrna sa bahay? malinis ba ang bahay? ayokong makakarinig ng maraming sumbong ha.

chona mae: ako po ok lang ewan ko po sina aling choleng.

we are go to duty free for more shopping. mam tess, sir arnold and me. mam tess are buy more things and then we are go home coz mam tess is already tired from the travel. in the car, i ask mam tess about abroad.

chona mae: mam san po kayo nagpunta?

mam tess: madami. bangkok, vietnam, hongkong, china, japan, singapore. nakakapagod.

chona mae: nag-japan po kayo? di ba masama po yun? bakit nyo po nagawa yun?

mam tess: sira! namasyal lang ako at nag-shopping. arnold, san ba natin nakuha to? parang nagkamali tayo dito a.

sir arnold: sinabi mo pa. wrong move honey. wrong move. ano, chona? soli ka na namin?

chona mae: wherever.


sir arnold and mam tess are always joke with me that they are return me to romblon but is ok coz i know that it is joke only.


chona mae: malaki po ba ang abroad

mam tess: chona talaga. oo. malaki.

chona mae; ano pong pasalubong nyo sakin? na-miss nyo po ba ako?

mam tess: marami akong pasalubong sayo mamaya mo na tingnan sa bahay. di ko alam kung na-miss kita kasi puro kunsumisyon dala mo sakin.


mam tess is the deny queen. i know that she is only deny. i know that she is missed me also.
we arrive home and we are bring the bags in the house. mam tess is open her bags and she is call aling choleng and myrna to give away the pasalubongs.


mam tess: o myrna etong sayo. yung kay choleng kasam na dyan, may pangalan yan.
the bag for choleng and myrna is big. they have imported lotion, important soap, imported shampoo and imported perfume. mam tess is also give aling choleng a sholder bag and some chocolates too also.

mam tess finally gives me my gift pack. many things inside the bag. she is give me one imported t-shirt that is color pink. the front of the t-shirt says: "abercrombie and bench" i think it is same with the t-shirt that the MTV and the MYX BJ wear. mam tess is also buy me kitkat and nestle crunch and kisses also. she is also give me lip glows. lip glows is look like a lipstick but mam mam tess say that lip glows is make the lips shine. is very happy.

is very exciting for my coming birthday in the near future coz it is in september 11 already. my birthday wish is that i have a birthday party coz is been my dream ever since before but i cannot have a party coz all of my family and friends are in romblon. if mam tess will give me party, i do not know who i will invite coz i dont have friends here. i want to invite my classmates when i am still study in st. chamuel but i dont know how to call them coz my phone is destroyed coz it is fall in the washing mashing before. i want to invite also the people who write to me here like teki, slate, fawee, lei, fionski, cyanide saliva, joacs, pinay psycho, cesxy, ~tin~, hundun, xtine, trina, jennie, tinamaldita, iskolar111, charry, jac, arashi-kishu, jet, elizabeth bennet, bayani angbayani, kei, yshie, rafaelle, lilintian, mec, eye, lhasyus, mard, marian a.ka. nipututoot, darkwinter, jcfs, ceciyl, maan, chino, gwen, ruber, jae jetrin, jac, johnnylet jumba jum, cry baby, chris, babaeng_hilaw, aMgiNe, walter and of course anonymous coz you write to me here so many times and you always give me more power. i forget the others who write to me here coz is very many of you. if i forget you, hope you dont get angry to me. you know who you are. of course i am not invite reynanteng pangit and tomboy rowena in my party. only my friends are go here but is not sure coz it will be very expensive coz it will be a big party coz i have many people to invite and i dont know who will come coz i dont know your face coz i dont see you. you only write to me. no picture. haaay. is very sad.

i wish i can have a party that is very class like our pretty neighbor leslie. she is in gown in her party and her friends too and they have waiters in the house like a restaurant and they are party very much. her mama also invite dancers for ballroom dancing. mam tess say that they are d.i. leslie is study in fobeda and her friends are all pretty and class. i want to go to fobeda near robinsons too for my school but mam tess say that it is very expensive there and it is only in high school and i am finish with high school already. i always see leslie and her friends at the gate coz their house is in front of our gate. i want to be their barkada. i like them very much and they are always say: "dah! wherever!" and then they make a W sign with their hands. so i use it also when aling choleng gets angry to me.

aling choleng: hoy chona mae! computer ka na naman ng computer. di mo tinatapos trabaho mo! lagot ka talaga kay mam tess mo pag -uwi nun.isusumbong kita. sasabihin ko na bawalan kang mag-computer.

chona mae: dah! wherever! betch!

i am really hate with aling choleng. hmp! she's not invited.
