YOLO. You only live once, ika nga nila. Will you spend your whole life doing things you're not happy about or spend your whole life smiling because you enjoyed everything you do?

Well, I choose the latter. You only get one life, don't be afraid to do everything you want.

And I, Crest Veronica "Ganda" Sandejas will do everything I want in life. Everything.

Ako si Crest Veronica at walang makakapigil sa akin, kahit si Dad pa.

"Crest, what is this notice from the bank?" natigilan ako sa pagkain nang magsalita si Dad.

I lifted my face and took some tissue, pinunasan ko ang gilid ng labi ko at sumulyap kay Dad na nasa kabisera. Katabi ko ang kambal ko na nasa may tabi ni Dad. Mom and Adira is in the other side of the table, natahimik din at sumulyap sa akin.

"Po?" I asked and smiled.

Dad stared at me, nakakatakot ang mata ni Attorney pero princess naman niya ako kaya nginitian ko pa siya ng matamis.

"The bank sent a notice, you spend more than four hundred thousand yesterday?" he asked.

My eyes widen at that, maski si Alchiel ay napasulyap sa akin.

"You what, Crest?" Chiel asked.

"What did you buy, anak?" ani Mom kaya sumulyap ako sa kanya, si Adira ay ngumunguya pa, halatang nagtataka at si Mom ay nakatitig sa akin.

"Uhmm...it's nothing." I answered and glanced at my father, kunot na ang noo niya roon sa akin.

"Nothing? You can't buy nothing and spend four hundred thousand, Crest." Ani Dad kaya ngumuso ako.

"Well, I just made a clean up and shopped a bit." I said.

"Shopping a bit? That's a lot of money, kambal." Chiel pointed out kaya mas humaba ang nguso ko.

I glanced at Dad and he's serious, sumulyap ako kay Adira para humingi ng tulong pero ngumuso lang din siya sa akin. I saw Mom took the glass of water and lifted it near her lips.

"Crest...I'm asking you." Dad said kaya suminghap na ako.

"Well, I just cleaned up my closet, Dad. I'm so nagsasawa na sa clothes ko and you see...I don't wear an outfit twice." I said and smiled cutely.

Narinig kong biglang naubo si Mom, napasulyap ako sa kanya at nakitang nakatakip na ang labi niya. Dad moved from his seat, mabilis siyang tumayo para puntahan si Mommy but Mom shook her head.

"I-I'm fine..." Mom even laughed a bit, "I'm just, I'm sorry...I think I'm seeing my young self again."

I bit my lower lip, nang masiguro na ni Dad na okay na si Mommy ay muli siyang bumaling sa akin, pabalik kay Mommy.

"Sa lahat ba naman ng mamamana sa'yo ng anak mo, 'yang ugali pang 'yan, Thallia?" Dad asked her, making her laughed.

"What? Is it our fault we didn't like repeating an outfit twice?" Mom asked, pinunasan pa ang labi at binalingan ako. "Right, Crest?"
