So my sister basically rehearses everyone who'll visit: about my attitude, mood, tone of voice, things that makes me uncomfortable (like too much unnecessary noises), what gets me pissed (like when they just grab something without permission), etc.— which I appreciate a lot.

And the first that her companions always do is get to my good side. It always happen. We're polar opposites and it's too rare for me to invite people over: Only happened twice for a group activity (had no choice since everyone else lives outskirts) and once when I insisted for Mary to spend the night in our house so she may be able to stay late and attend our Christmas Party.

Back to the point, I'm getting somehow used to kuya Joseph since it was like the third time he'll be spending hours at home. Then he opened an unexpected convo.

H: Ang swerte mo sa ate mo. Nahihiling kong padangaton ka niya.

M: Ba't kuya, anong meron? (I was still glued to my phone)

H: Mayo lang, nagkatarandaan ko lang dati. Since mostly pangbanggi kami tapos may hangout dai maiba si ate mo, minsan nagmamadali pa yan napapauli nang maray, tas kang late nagpadismiss si ma'am nagmamadali, masabi yan, “Guys kaipuhan ko na magpuli baka dai pa nakakan si tugang ko” pirmi tapos masabing naghahalat ka na daa.

I didn't talk. Hinayaan ko siyang magpatuloy, and he's said,

H: Kaya now mas nahiling ko na. Solo ka lang din palan kayang tugang. Kami kaya sa harong dakulon. Pero iyo talaga, padangaton ka ni ate mo.

M: Alam ko kuya. Kaya nga pag naiyak na lay low na ko magpasaway.

H: Aram mo man palan, bakin...

M: Kasi boring.

He laughed.

But yep, I know. Ang swerte ko.
