Isang linggo na akong naninilbihan sa mansyon. Hindi iyon mahirap kung sa trabaho lang ang pag-uusapan. Magaan lang naman ang ginagawa ko. I felt so lucky that the Stanfords are not strict.

It's just that I keep on slipping sometimes. I often forget that I am pretending. Hindi ko alam kung nahahalata iyon ni Manang Minda. I have no clue what she thinks of me. She remained kind to me. Wala rin siyang itinatanong. Well, if she'll gonna ask me, I don't think I'll be able to dodge it. I don't think I'm a good actress.

In my stay here in the mansion, I found out that Senechov rarely stays. He would always be at work and only went home at night. And sometimes, he doesn't. Nandoon siguro siya sa condo niya nag-sti-stay. Sabagay ay doon pwede niyang dalhin ang mga babae niya. Samantalang dito ay pinaghihigpitan ni Ma'am Navi.

Those times that he's here, he only stares at me like he's observing me. Kaya't madalas akong naiilang sa kanya. And then I would hate him in the process. I never tried being good to him. Mabuti nga at hindi pa ako natatanggal sa ugali ko. Siguro nga'y inis talaga ako sa kanya. My impression of him is bad so I find it hard to change that.

Wala namang kaibahan iyon kay baby Santhe. The kid still doesn't like me. He doesn't want me to tuck him in bed which I really wanted to do. I want to lull him to sleep. To sing him a lullaby. To show him that eventhough his mother is not here for him, a lot of people still loves him.
But he always kicks me out of the room. He always wanted to be alone.

Sa eskwela naman ay hinahatid ko siya. Minsan ay hinihintay ko talaga ang uwian niya kahit na sinasabi ni Manang Minda na maaari ko naman siyang iwanan. For God's sake he's only four years old. I worry of him too much. But Manang was right, the school is well secured, private kasi iyon kaya maayos ang security. At kahit na hindi ko siya sunduin ay nandiyan naman si Manong Samuel para sunduin siya.

Matigas nga lang ang ulo ko. And I enjoyed staying in their school, watching Santhe in his seat with their cute uniform.

Nalulungkot lang ako kapag nakikita siyang ayaw makipaghalubilo sa mga kapwa niya bata. Especially with girls. But there's this persuasive cute pretty kid who doesn't give up on asking him. Sometimes I find myself cheering for that kid to help loosen up baby Santhe.

Why is he so stern? Did they inform him already that he doesn't have a mother? Sana'y pinalaki muna siya, iyong tuluyan na niyang maiintin-dihan ang mga bagay-bagay. But I can't blame them.. They are clueless.. And maybe the kid asked them already. Santhe is an intellectual. Mahahalata mo iyon. He tops their classes.

Santhe is choosy when it comes to befriending. He have this little kiddo he always plays with who already have a reading glasses as young as he is. Tahimik na bata iyon at madalas i-bully. But I guess Santhe likes him. Maybe because I once saw him bringing his Marvels mini collection items.

Sandamakmak ang laruang mayroon si Santhe niyon sa kanyang kwarto. Paborito rin niya ang Teen Titans especially Beast boy.

I did tried watching his favorite movies. I found out Mantis is this woman with antenna who can put anyone to sleep if she wants to.

The movie was great, Guardians of the Galaxy was enjoyable to watch. Except that I didn't research about it firsthand that I watched Vol.2 first before Vol. 1. Sobrang clueless ko lang talaga sa mga ganitong bagay.

"I told you don't fetch me." Nakasimangot na pakli ni Santhe sa akin nang maabutan niya akong naghihintay.

I smiled at him and tried to take his bag pack.
