We still have sixty-four days of summer to spend together."

I'm just an ordinary girl who fell in love with a casanova. Lahat ng babae kaagaw ko. Pag sexy at maganda napapansin niya. Ako? Isa lang naman akong simpleng babae. Nerd kung tawagin ng mga tao. May makapal na salamin, braces at buhok na parang walis. Pero ang hindi alam ng lahat may isa pa akong pagkatao na pilit kong tinatago. Akala ko hindi na niya ako mapapansin dahil hindi naman ako kasing-sexy ng mga nagiging babae niya. But one day, I just found myself lying on the bed with him. We made love. That's what I thought. Pero nagkamali pala ako. Dahil para sa kanya, laro lang ang lahat. But wait, there's more, he got me pregnant.

"Kahit kailan hindi mo ako tiningnan bilang ako. Hindi mo ako tinuring na asawa dahil ibang babae ang nasa isip mo pag tayo yung magkasama. Sa bawat pagsabi mo ng mahal kita, sa bawat yakap mo at halik, siya ang nasa isip mo at hindi ako. Minahal mo ako hindi dahil sa mahal mo ako, minahal mo ako dahil binubuhay mo ang kapatid ko sa katauhan ko." - Savannah Andrade
