There are memories that can't be forgotten. 

That can't be thrown or ignore.

They say, you must forget the past in order to move on. But how can I forget the past if it's always coming back?

"Darling, alam mo namang magagalit ang lola mo pag sinusuway mo siya diba? " mom said. Hindi ko na siya tinignan pa bagkus ay bumuntong-hininga ako. 

I fix my gaze on the people dancing across the vast ballroom. They are all dressed in costly yet magnificent suits and gowns that speak to their powerful social status. Because of the party's theme, we seem to be back in the Middle Ages. We're not dressed in traditional Filipino attire but rather clothes worn by the Europeans.

To fit the theme, I wore a long cream-colored gown with my trademark ruffled sleeves. My hair is neatly bunned and has a little strand of hair on the side. Mom forced me to wear gloves with a diamond ring on top. My pearl earrings were also very heavy as if I was carrying a whole sack of rice in my ear.

Others laugh as they interact with their friends. Others are accompanied by the slow music playing in the background. 

Napakagandang pagmasdan, aakalain ko'y nagbalik ako sa nakaraan.

Umalis saglit sina mama at papa dahil tinawag sila ng mga kaibigan nila. Si ate Yana naman, bigla ring nawala. Tapos si ate ay abalang nakikipag-kwentuhan kay Marco. They look so good together, not gonna lie. Komportable sila sa isa't-isa. Nagtatawanan silang dalawa habang may pinag-uusapan. May pa-hampas pa sa braso si ate. Samantala naiwan na naman akong mag-isa sa table namin.

Having no talent of communicating is a curse. Sana madaldal nalang ako upang madaling makahanap ng makakausap. Kasi sa tuwing may gustong makikipag-usap sakin, palagi kong binabara. Hindi ako interesado sa mga kwento nila. Simula noong nangyare ang araw na 'yun, natatakot akong maulit muli iyon. Iyan ang dahilan kung bakit ang hirap kong lapitan.

It's hard to find someone who truly understands you the way you understand yourself.

Anyway, today is ate Shane's birthday. The only cousin I like. Mabait siya unlike sa iba kong mga kamag-anak. Sayang nga lang hindi siya nakapunta noong birthday ko last week. May pasok pa kasi daw siya sa Spain. Hindi pwedeng iwanan.
