It’s the first time I heard my mom say that…and I think its funny too..i bet she never thought of me as a “real lady” always her “baby” (yeah right..baby damulag)…i always wore skirts and blouses naman but it was the first time in ages since I last wore heels..she must have found it really nice…and I bet she really thought that I look dalaga…but hello?!? I always thought of myself as that..hmmm…natawa lang talaga ko ewan ko lang…i think my feet look better in flats..and besides, im so tall I wouldn’t want much to tower over my friends..but i wore them for a change..im already graduate and I think I have to upgrade my wardrobe..(ooops!delikado to!patay tayo jen..magastos ala pa kong work at papa…bwehehe..)….la lang…just wondering?! What are my parents thinking and how they’re feeling now that im graduate?? Ha!naku…mag-aasawa na ata ang anak namin..wahahahaha!!! not in a million years momma! Next 5 million years pa…wahahahahaha!!
