Tula galing sa PUSO....
SLATIN ang pusong saging namin.
mula octobre hanggang marso.
kung lalabas man sila sa bahay ni kuya nandito parin kami patuloy na susuporta.
minsan,may mga taong makikitid ang utak ng dahil sa dalawang taong nagmamahalan.
pero kami dto sa sagingan patuloy ang kasiyahan dahil sa dalawang taong nagbibigay ng kasiyahan.
kaya para sa SLATIN mawala man kayo sa aming paningin,pero para samin para kaung hangin na nandiyan palagi sa aming paningin.
mahal namin kayo yan ang isipin niyo,kung di dahil sa puno wala rin ang pusong SLATIN namin.....

OTHER INFORMATION:
Malapit sa pamilya at sa kanyang 16 na aso (may mga Chihuahua, Great Dane, American Cocker Spaniel, Jack Russell, French Bulldog, at Whippet siya), mahiyain sa umpisa ang Captain’s Daughter ng Cainta. Pero gaya ng paborito niyang si Bella ng Twilight, matapos niyang maging observer, lalabas din ang bibo niyang personalidad.
Sumali si Tin sa PBB para sa bagong experience at para maka-meet ng iba’t ibang tao. Dahil isang seryosong athlete, homeschooled siya. Ganunpaman, pakiramdam ni Tin, “Kahit sino naman I’ll get along with, just not creepy ones, like those who stare all the time.” Sa simula pa lang, suportado na ng mommy ni Tin ang pagpasok niya sa bahay ni Kuya. Medyo nag-alangan ang daddy niya (ang basketbolistang si Alvin Patrimonio) pero sa huli, pinayagan din siya sa kanyang desisyon kasama ng paalala “to have no regrets and do your best”. Kung sa bagay, malaki din ang ipinagpalit ni Tin *** sa pagkakataong maging housemate. Sumasali siya ng competitions, at kung hindi dahil sa PBB, sa SEA Games sana ang tuloy niya bilang tennis player!
{ SLATER-TIN FANFICTION } -- INTRODUCTION: by: TinisLOVE Slater is Tin’s long time crush. Siya ang inspirasyon ni Tin sa maraming bagay. Ginawa na nya lahat para mapansin at ibigin din nito. Nagulat na lang siya nang isang araw ay ligawan siya nito. Hindi siya makapaniwala that her dream of having Slater would finally come true.
Naging sila but they have to keep everything about them private, dahil sa maraming rason. Isang rason ay dahil may nakatakda na para kay Slater. Bata palang ito ay ipinagkasundo na ito ng mga magulang nito.
Isa ring rason ay dahil RIVAL ang kanilang pamilya sa negosyo.
Mapaglaban kaya nila ang kanilang pagmamahalan?
Chapter 1
" Kev, do you think HE would be glad pag nalaman nya na pareho kami ng course at magkaklase kami sa ilang subjects?" tanong ni Tin kay Kevin na ang tinutukoy ay si Slater. Ang crush nya since elementary at schoolmate din nila mula elementary till highschool. Never nya nga lang itong naging classmate. Kontento na lang sya na tinatanaw ito mula sa malayo. Hindi naman nagkakalayo ang antas nila sa buhay kaya lang kahit kailan ay hindi magkasundo ang kanilang mga magulang. Magkalaban kasi ang mga ito sa negosyo. Kaya din siguro kahit anong gawin nya ay hindi mapalapit ang loob ni Slater sa kanya.
"Christine, I think he would not mind." sagot ni Kevin. ang bestfriend nya. Magkaibigan ang mga magulang nila kaya pati sila ay magkaibigan na rin. Parang kapatid na ang turing nila sa isa't isa. Purely platoonic lang ang relasyong meron sila pero nangako sila na pareho nilang poprotektahan ang isa't isa kahit anong mangyari.
"Talaga? He would not mind?" Her eyes beaming with happiness
"Oo, kasi wala naman sa kanya ang existence mo."
"Tse! Nakakainis ka talaga! Parang di kita bestfriend!" Simangot pa ni Tin
"Christine, I'm just stating a fact. Wake up! Slater's not into you!" Sabi pa ni Kevin
"Alam mo pasalamat ka mahal kita dahil kung hindi ewan ko lang kung ano magawa ko sa'yo!" Inis na sabi ni Tin
Sa di kalayuan ay may di sinasadyang nakarinig ng sinabi ni Tin.
"Alam mo pasalamat ka mahal kita dahil kung hindi ewan ko lang kung ano magawa ko sa'yo!"
“ Sila pa rin pala. Wala pa rin pala ako pag-asa sa puso ni Christine.” Sa isip pa ng lalaki
“Haay nako SLATER! MOVE ON!”
“Hey Dude! What are you doing here? UHh. Stalking her again?” ani Divine, ang bestfriend ni Slater.
“No. Napadaan lang ako. I wasn’t expecting na dito din pala siya mag-aaral. Pareho pa kami ng course! Well, I’m hoping na magkaklase kami sa ilang subjects.” Sabi pa ni Slater.
“Ang tindi talaga ng tama mo sa kanya. Till now siya pa rin.”
“She’s one of a kind, dude. Kahit na iba ang mahal niya mula noon, di pa rin siya nawala sa puso ko.
“Eww. You’re that corny! Move on man! May boyfriend na siya!”
“I know! I know! May boyfriend siya, pero what can I do, I LOVE HER.”
“ I know. But you have to force yourself to forget her. Aside from the fact na may boyfriend na siya, you’re already engaged na. It would be unfair for Joya.”
“ But Vine, do you think everything will be fair if I force myself to love Joya? Hindi rin magiging fair yun! Lolokohin ko lang sarili ko, si Joya.”
“ Dude, everything is learned.”
“ But not LOVE!” Slater exclaimed
“ Ok, ok. Let’s stop this ok?? I have to go! I have to fetch Mitch pa.”
“Ok. You take care!”
“Yeah. You too.”
“Hayy . Buti pa si Divine kahit tibo may lovelife. Swerte talaga ng bestfriend ko.” Sa isip pa ni Slater.
….
“Kev, dib a si Slater mylove yun?” Kinikilig na sabi ni Tin
“Probably.” Balewalang sagot ni Kevin. Naririndi na siya sa kakaSlater ng Bestfriend niya.
“Nakakainis ka talaga!” SAbi pa ni Tin habang hinihila ang kwelyo ng suot na polo ni Kevin
“Stop it Christine! Please behave! “ iritadong sabi ni Kevin
“Ok, Sorry!”
“Christine, you have to wake up from the reality that Slater’s not into you and if he is you can’t be together dahil maraming tutol. Why won’t you give Biggel a chance? He’s a nice person, magkaibigan ang family niyo and he’ll do anything for you.” Si Biggel ang most loyal suitor ni Tin. First year Highschool sila nanliligaw na ito sa kanya.
“Alam mong hindi ko siya mahal.”
“Christine, give yourself a chance to see a world wherein Slater’s not included. Yung mundong Sa’yo lang at sa ibang nagmamahal sa’yo. Yung hindi puro Slater lang.”
“Easy for you to say kasi mahal ka ni Jess.” Malungkot na sabi ni Tin
“Exactly. Christine, bakit hindi na lang iba ang mahalin mo? Magkaron ka ng relasyon na gaya ng sa’min ni Jess.
“Hindi natuturuan ang puso , Kev.”
“Your heart has a mind of its own. “ sabi pa ni Kevin
Chapter 2
“Kev, bakit ganon?” malungkot na namang sabi ni Tin. Lugmok siya buong araw dahil hindi nakapasok si Slater sa mga subject kung saan kaklase niya ito.
“Ano na naman ba yan , Christine?”
“Nababadtrip lang ako kasi akala ko maraming oras na makikita ko si Slate pero sa 4 subjects na classmates kami eh wala siya.”
“Isa lang ibig sabihin niyan.”
“Ano?” Confused na tanong ni Tin.
“Lumipat na siya nang malaman niyang you’re also here.”
“Ha-ha! Tse! Kahit kailan talaga panira ka!”
“Atleast I am not like you!” pang aasar pa ni Kevin
“Oo na. I’m crazy, addict, obsessed. Ano pa?”
“You’re impossible!”
“You’re mayabang!Palibhasa Masaya lovelife mo!”
“Oh yeah!Inggit ka lang!”
“Ang malas ni Jess sa’yo!” siya naman ang nang asar ditto
“Whoah!As if naman swerte si Slater sa’yo if ever!” ganti ni Kevin
“Syempre! Wala na siya mahahanap na katulad ko noh!”
“Ohyeah! You’re crazy, obsessed, and pathetic. You’re all that but I LOVE YOU!” ani Kevin
…
“Ohyeah! You’re crazy, obsessed, and pathetic. You’re all that but I LOVE YOU!”
“Ouch! Ang malas mo talaga Slater! Ba’t ba parating naririnig mo ang usapan nila?” Ganyan ba talaga kasaklap ang tadhana?” Pagmomonologue pa ni Slater. Hindi sinasadyang narinig na naman niya ang usapan nina Kevin at Tin nang madaanan niya ang mga ito habang palabas siya ng gate
“Bakit ba ganito?Iniwasan ko na nga siyang Makita buong araw. Kahit ngayon lang, tas ganito?Haaay!” Hindi siya pumasok sa 4 na subject sa araw na iyon nang malaman niyang kaklase niya si Tin at maging si Kevin sa 2 subjects.
“Hi! Talking to yourself?Naku masama yan!” si Deniese yun, kaklase niya sa 2 pang subjects.
“Nah!May naisip lang.”
“Sino?Siya?”Sabay turo sa nakatalikod na si Tin. “You like her?”
“Obvious ba?”
“Yeah. If you like her! Go for her!”
“May boyfriend siya”
“So what?Asawa nga naagaw, girlfriend pa kaya”
“I don’t want to hurt anyone.”
“Duwag ka ata eh!”
“No, its just that ayokong masaktan si Kevin pag niligawan ko si Tin.”
“Bakit sure ka ba na SHE’LL LIKES you back?”
“No.”
“Yun naman pala eh. Bakit di mo itry?”
“Sa takdang panahon siguro.”
“Mahina ka pala eh!” pagpoprovoke pa ni Deniese
“Hindi pa ko handa”
“Hihintayin ko ang panahong handa ka na”
“For what?”
“Wala nakakaamuse ka kasi tapos gusto kita tulungan.”
“Ang weird mo.”
“Yeah maybe. Sige una na ko, andyan na sundo ko. “Paalam ni Deniese
“Sige. Bye. “
……
"Hi hon!" Salubong kay Deniese ng Boyfriend niya
"Hi!"Sabay yakap dito.
"So how’s your day?"
"Great!Ang saya ng araw!"
"Dahil ba sa lalaking kausap mo kanina?"
"Bakit selos ka?"nakangiting sabi ni Deniese
"Sino ba namang hindi?"
"Sus ! Jerico, ang drama mo. Classmate ko lang yun. Chinallenge ko kasi siya."
"What challenge?"
"Agawin niya ang babaeng mahal niya sa boyfriend nung girl."
"What? Ang mean nun hon!" nagulat na sabi ni Jerico
" He's so inlove with the girl. Kawawa naman. I want to help him."
"Mali naman yung agawin niya yung girl sa boyfriend nito, kahit pa mahal niya yun."
"I know pero mukhang may maganda namang mangyayari eh."
"Ang weird mo talaga."
"Kaya nga mahal mo ko eh kasi pareho tayo!"
"OO na! I love you. "
" I love you too."
Chapter 3
“Kuya how’s your day?” tanong ni Tin sa kapatid pagdating nito
“Its great Sis. Ikaw?Ba’t parang Biyernes Santo ang mukha mo?”
“Badtrip lang Kuya. Kamusta kayo ng girlfriend mo?”
“Shhh. Baka marinig ka nila mommy.” Gaya ni Slater ay naipagkasundo na rin ng mga magulang nila ang Kuya Jerico niya.
“Hindi yan.Wala sila dito”
“Nasan sila?”
“Ewan. Nagtataka ka pa?”
“Haay. Sabagay. Kumain ka na ba?”
“Hindi at wala akong gana.”
“Bakit ba? Anong problema ng princess ko?” umupo na rin si Jerico sa tabi ng kapatid at inakbayan ito.
“Nang mainlove ka sa girlfriend mo kahit alam mong di pwede anong nafeel mo?”
“Syempre takot para sa kanya, para sa amin. Ewan ko kung makakayanan naming ang hamon, ewan ko kung mapaglalabanan.”
“Bakit Kuya?”
“Alam mong mahirap para sakin kasi nga may naipagkasundo na sina Dad.”
“Ba’t ba kasi ganun sila? Gusto nila maipagkasundo kayo para mas maging mayaman pa tayo? Di pa sila kontento.”
“They only want what’s best for us.”
“Kahit pa alam nilang masasaktan kayo at hindi magiging Masaya?”
“Naiintindihan ko naman eh. Kaya lang Sis, hindi naman talaga natuturuan ang puso diba?”
“Kuya, seryoso ka naba sa girlfriend mo?”
“Oo naman. Bakit mo natanong?”
“Wala. Gusto kong tulungan ka.”
“Talaga?”
“Oo. Yun ay kung tutulungan mo ko.”
“So may kapalit pala?”
“Wala naman na libre eh.” Nakangiting sabi ni Tin
“O sige Baby Girl, ano maitutulong ko?”
“Kuya, di nako bata. Wag mo na ko tawaging baby girl. I’m 17 na kaya.”
“Feeling adult ka naman. Di ka pa nga 18 eh.”
“Eh malapit naman na.”
“Malayo pa December, wag ka atat.”
“Kuya naman!”
“Ah basta baby girl pa rin kita.”
Halos 3 taon ang tanda ni Jerico kay Tin. 3 silang magkakapatid. Panganay si Wendy na nakapag-asawa na ng mayamang business man at kasalukuyang nasa Canada dahil doon nakabase ang asawa nito.
“Kuya, namimiss ko si Ate Wendy.”
“Namimis ko din naman siya eh.”
“Sana nandito siya para Masaya tayo kahit tayong tatlo lang.”
“Masaya at kompleto na ngayon si Ate Wendy. Pero babalik naman siya dito eh. Sabi niya dadalawin niya pa rin tayo.”
“Kahit na. Buti pa noong mga bata pa tayo. Lagi Masaya.”
“Tintin, intindihin na lang natin si Ate Wendy, okay?Maiintindihan mo rin kung bakit kailangang sa ibang bansa siya tumira muna.”
Sa kanilang magkakapatid si Tin lang ang hindi ipinagkasundo ngmga magulang nila at Masaya si Tin dito. Pero di niya maiwasang malungkot para sa Ate Wendy at Kuya Jerico niya. Mabuti na lang naipaglaban ng ate niya ang pagmamahalan nito at ng asawa. Mayaman naman din ang asawa nito kaya lang hindi ito ang gusto ng mga magulang nila para sa kapatid niya kaya napilitang suwayin ng kapatid ang mga magulang at mangibang bansa ito at ng asawa nito para din makaiwas sa mga magulang nila.
“Haay ganyan rin kaya ang mangyayari sa’min ni Slater?” mahinang sabi niya ngunit umabot sa pandinig ni Jerico
“Anong sabi mo sis?”
“Ah Wala sabi ko kamusta na kaya si Ate.”
“Hmm. Hindi yun ang narinig ko ah.”
“Huh? Wala naman ako ibang sinabi ah?”Pagmamaang-mangan ni Tin
“May narinig ako Slater eh. Hmm. Inlove ka noh? Uyy aminin!”hindi alam ng kapatid niya ang lihim na pagsinta niya kay Slater. Tanging si Kevin lang ang may alam nito.
“Hindi ah.”
“Aminin mo. Saka tama ba rinig ko? Slater? Si Slater yung anak ng may-ari ng RODRIGUEZ SHIPPING COMPANY?”
“Kuya bingi ka lang. “Patuloy pa rin sa pagdeny ni Tin
“Inlove ka kay Slater Rodriguez?”
“Kuya naman!”
“Ikaw Christine Alonzo umamin ka nga.”
“Ano? Wala naman ako dapat aminin.”
“Bahala ka. Sige ka, malay mo matulungan pa kita.”
“Talaga tutulungan mo ko?”excited na sabi ni Tin
“Ayun lumabas din!”
“Ehh kuya naman eh. Sige na aamin na ko. Crush ko si Slater.”
“Kelan pa?” Nakangiting tanong ni Jerico sa kapatid.
“Matagal na. Elementary pa lang. Pero crush lang yun! Kahit itanong mo pa kay Kevin.”
“Ok. Sabi mo eh.”
“Pero tutulungan mo ba ko? Pano? Di naman kayo close nun ah.”
“Lahat nagagawan ng paraan. Saka ano ba gusto mangyari?” Sagot ni Jerico
“ Talaga. Gusto ko lang maging close kami.?”
“Yun lang?
“Oo. Crush lang naman yun eh.”
“Okay sige. Tutulungan kita. Sa ngayon, kakain muna ako.”
“Ok.”
Naiwang nakaupo pa rin sa sala si Tin habang nagiisip.
Sa totoo lang iba na ang nararamadaman ni Tin. Pakiramdam niya hindi na simpleng crush lang ang nararamdaman niya para kay Slater. Pakiramdam niya matagal na siyang inlove dito.
Chapter 4
“Kuya, kamusta ang ang araw?” Ani Kim ang nag-iisang kapatid ni Slater. 4th year highschool pa lang ito at minsan naiinggit siya dito dahil kahit highschool pa lang ito ay masaya ang lovelife nito. Apat na taon na kasi ito at ang boyfriend na si Mark.
“Boring.” Matamlay na sagot si Slater
“Bakit? First day sa college tapos boring?”
“Wala lang.”
“Wala ka ba nameet na friends? Girls?”
“Wala.”
“Ang weird mo kuya!”
“Ako na weird!”
“Oo, ikaw na nga!”
“Sige, matutulog na ko.”
“Goodnight Kuya.”
“Night, Kimmy.”
“hmp, ang weird ni Kuya.”kausap pa ni Kim sa sarili nang biglang magring ang cellphone niya.
“Hello?”
“Hello, Babe.” Si Mark ang tumatawag.
“Oh, napatawag ka?”
“Wala lang, I miss you.”
“Sus, kanina lang tayo nagkasama ah.”
“I know but can you blame me?”
“Heh. Matulog ka na nga. Matutulog na rin ako. Maaga pa tayo bukas.”
“I’ll fetch you, okay?”
“Okay. 6:30.”
“K, I LOVE YOU.”
“I LOVE YOU TOO.”sabay baba ng cp. Nakangiti pa rin si kim. Kahit kailan ang sweet talaga ng Boyfriend niya.
“Hoy Kim! Matulog ka na kaysa makipaglandian diyan sa phone!” Sabi pa ni Slater
“Over ka kuya. Palibhasa inggit ka!”
“Ba’t naman ako maiinggit?
“Kasi ako may lovelife, ikaw BOKYA.” Sabay tawa ni Kim
“Matulog ka na, gabi na.”
“Ok, fine! Eh di matulog.” Padabog na wika ni Kim
Tama naman ang kapatid niya. Inggit nga siya ditto kasi nagagawa nito ang anumang gustuhin nito kahit ito ang babae. Tama rin ito na inggit siya sa lovelife nito. Bigla tuloy niya naisip si Tin.
“Haaayy Tin, pano kaya kita malalapitan?”
……
“Kev, sa tingin mo lumipat na talaga siya?” tanong ni Tin kay Kevin habang nasa sasakyan sila nito. Laging sabay pumapasok ang dalawa mula noong mga bata pa sila hanggang ngayon. Kahit pa may Jessica na sa buhay ni Kevin ay never nagbago ang friendship nila. They remained solid sa pagkakaibigan nila.
“I have no idea.” Sagot ni Kevin
“ Baka nga lumipat siya.”
“Christine, how many times do I have to tell na stop that Slater thing na.”
“Kev, ikaw lang naman napagsasabihan ko eh. Pero ngayon si Kuya na rin.”
“Alam na ni Kuya Jerico?”
“Yeah. Pinaamin niya ko. Akala ko magiging secret na lang natin yun forever.”
“Good. You would stop bugging me about that slater guy na.”
“Akala mo lang yun. Ikaw parin kaya bestfriend ko so you have to bear with me.”
“What can I do?”Nakangiting sabi ni Kevin. “I wish Jess is here with me.”
“Oo nga noh. Nakakamiss si Jess.” Mag-iisang taon na mula ng nagmigrate ang pamilya ni Jessica sa London. Pero kahit na nagmigrate na ito at ang pamilya nito ay hindi pa rin naputol ang ugnayan nito at ni Kevin
“I hope she’ll come back soon.” Sabi pa ni Kevin
“Asus. Nag eemo si Bestfriend. Tama na nga yan. Baka masapawan mo pa ko. We’r e here na.”
…
Sa di kalayuan ay napansin ni Slater ang sabay na pagpasok sa gate nina Kevin at Tin.
“As usual, sila na naman.” Mahinang sabi ni Slater sa sarili
“Uy! Kausap mo na naman sarili mo?”panggugulat ni Deniese kay Slater
“Uy ikaw pala. Kamusta?”
“I’m good. Ikaw? Sa tingin ko hindi.”
“Pano mo nasabi?”
“Eh kasi kausap mo na naman sarili mo at nakatingin ka na naman dun oh?” Sabay turo ni Deniese kela Tin at Kevin. “Sya yung girl kahapon, right?”
“Yeah.” Sagot ni Slater
“Ang ganda niya pala. Kabog ang beauty ko. “
“Yeah, she is.” Nakangiting sagot ni Slater.
“Kaya naman pala kung makatingin ka sa kanya eh parang ayaw mo ng tantanan.”
“Obvious ba ko masyado?”
“Siguro pag kausap mo sarili mo at nakatingin ka sa kanya , oo. Pero pag wala siya, normal ka.” Sabi pa ni Deniese
“Haha. Ang adik mo!”
“Ako pa, baliw ako eh pero mas baliw ka.” Sabi ni Deniese sabay tawa
“Minsan lang.”
“Hu. Madalas ata eh. Teka may class pa ko, sige una na ko ha?”
“Anong subject?”
“World lit.”
“Ako rin pala. Tara sabay na tayo.”
“Sure.”
Chapter 5
“Kev, bilisan mo! Late na tayo.! Kung bakit kasi classmate pa kita sa world lit. Ang bagal mo pa maglakad.” Inis na sabi ni Tin
“Ang sabihin mo, nagmamadali ka lang kasi classmate din natin si S ditto.” Pang aasar pa ni Kevin
“Kaya nga tapos ang bagal mo pa! Ayoko malate noh!” kahit magkaiba ang course ay kaklase niya si Kevin sa ilang subjects.
“Ayaw daw malate. If I know. Ayaw mo lang magka bad impression sa’yo si S eh.” Dagdag asar pa ng kaibigan
“Bakit ikaw nung nanliligaw ka kay Jess, lagi ka pagood shot.”
“Syempre, .”
“Oh yun naman pala eh.”
“Eh bakit manliligaw ka kay Slater?”
“Ui hindi ah!”
“Mukhang may plano ka eh.”
“Hmp. Kung pwede lang eh pero mahirap din.”
“Ui, yan ang wag mong gawin. You’ll look desperada”
“Hala, I won’t do that no matter how much Im crazy over him.”
“Good atleast You’ve made it clear.”
“Yeah.” Hindi na sila nag-usap pa hanggang nakarating sila sa room nila. Pagdating nila ay agad napansin ni Tin si Slater na nakaupo sa gilid at tila malalim ang iniisip. May bakanteng upuan sa tabi nito at nagpipigil lang si TiN na tabihan si Slater.
Kinalabit sya ni Kevin.
“Hey, why are you still standing there?” Bulong ni Kevin kahit parang alam na nya ang rason.
“Gusto kong umupo sa tabi nya.” Sagot ni Tin
“Then go! This is your chance!” pagcheer pa ni Kevin
“Nasapian ka!Hindi ikaw si Kevin! IBALIK mo si KEVIN!” Natatawa pang biro ni Tin
“Minsan lang ako magcheheer sa’yo kaya go!”
“Sigurado ka Kev?
“Yes My dear bestfriend. Go ahead! Make yourself happy!”
“Aww, you’re the best talaga.” Sabay yakap dito kahit sa harap ng mga kaklase. Yung iba nagulat, yung iba parang kinilig pero may isang di maipinta ang mukha. “Shet! Talagang kelangang mag PDA?” Himutok ng utak ni Slater nang makitang niyakap ni Tin si Kevin.
Samantalang pupunta na sana sa gawi ni Slater si Tin ngunit bago pa nakaupo si Tin sa bakanteng upuan sa tabi ni Slater ay biglang may tumabi na dito. Ito rin yung babaeng nakita nyang kasama ni Slater noong nakaraang araw. Lukot ang mukhang tumabi na lang siya kay Kevin.
“Oh bakit dito ka tumabi?”
“Eh kase may katabi na siya! Girlfriend nya ata!” nakasimangot na sabi ni Tin.
“Ayan kasi ang bagal mo!” Pang-aasar pa ni Kevin
“Eh kasi naman..-----“ hindi na naituloy ni Tin ang sasabihin nang biglang pumasok ang prof nila sa world lit.
Pagkatapos ng world lit nila ay iba na ang subject ni Tin kay Kevin kaya magkahiwalay muna sila. Lugmok pa rin siya dahil sa pag aakalang may girlfriend na nga si Slater.
Habang si Slater ay lugmok din dahil sa pagyakap ni Tin kay Kevin. Nakayuko habang naglalakad si Slater at hindi nya napansin ang makakabangga nya.
“Aray! Ano ba naman hindi nag-iingat.” Angal ng nakabangga niya. Hindi pa siya nakatingin sa nakabangga niya dahil kinuha muna nya ang mga libro nitong nagkalat.
“Sorry Miss..” Natigilan si Slater sa sasabihin nang makilala kung sino ang nakabangga.
“Tin?”
“Kilala mo ko?” Kunot noong tanong ng babae.
“Oo naman. Matagal na.. I mean , matagal na, mga few minutes ago. Classmate tayo sa world lit diba?” Bigla ay hindi nakaapuhap ng sasabihn si Slater. Bigla syang nenerbyos, natulala siya bigla. Ang Slater na akala ng lahat ay mayabang at presko ay natorpe sa isang babae. Mas lalo syang natulala nang ngumiti si Tin. “Ang cute talaga nya.” Anang utak ni Slater
“Oh my God. Tin nananaginip ka ata!” sa isip ni Tin. Bigla sya natulala, ang lakas ng kabog ng dibdib nya
“Kilala mo ko?” Pilit syang umakto nang maayos at kunyari hindi apektado sa pagkakalapit nila ni Slater. Pinakunot pa nya ang noo nya.
“Oo naman. Matagal na.. I mean , matagal na, mga few minutes ago. Classmate tayo sa world lit diba?” sagot ni Slater.
“So natandaan nya ko… Hmmm.” Sa isip pa ni Tin habang di mapigilan ang mapangiti.
“I’m Slater nga pala. Slater Lee Rodriguez.” Pagpapakilala pa ni Slater
“Yeah, sino bang hndi makakakilala sa’yo. I’m Tin, Christine Alonzo.”
“Nice to meet you.” Sabi ni Slater hbang inilalahad ang kamay kay Tin
“Yeah, same here.” Sagot ni Tin at tinanggap ang pakikipagkamay ni Slater
Chapter 6
“Ang lambot ng kamay niya parang kamay ng babae. Ang sarap niyang kaholding hands. Waaaaaaaaaaaaah!” sigaw ng utak ni Tin.
“Ang ganda ng mga kamay niya, ang lambot. Parang prinsesa talaga siya.” Sabi ng utak ni Slater
“Excuse me, yung kamay ko.” Sabi pa ni Tin na di mapigilang kiligin
“Oh. Sorry, ang ganda ng kamay mo.” Nahihiyang ngiti ni Slater
“Yung sa’yo nga din parang kamay ng babae.”
“Oh talaga?”
“Yeah. “ alangan ang ngiting sabi ni Tin
“Utang na loob wag kang ganyan Slatermylove. Kalurkey ka!” kinikilig na si Tin pero kelangan nya magpigil. Naalala nya ang sinabi ni Kevin na dapat maging conservative muna.
“Thanks. Uhmm, teka nagmamadali ka ata. May class ka pa?” Tanong ni Slater
“Oo eh. Medyo nagmamadali nga ko.”
“Ay sorry. Anong subject mo?”
“Algebra.”
“Algebra mo din?”
“Oo. Ikaw din?”
“Baka classmates tayo uli. Saang room ka?”
“Eng. Blg 129.”
“Oh, classmates nga tayo. Tara sabay na lang tayo.
“Sige.”
“Slater ang swerte mo man!Akalain mo yun? 6 subjects pala kayo magkaklase? All along akala mo 4 lang.” Sa utak pa ni Slater
“Tin tin ang swerte mo talaga. Chance mo na!” Sa utak namn ni Tin
Hindi mapakali si Tin habang naglalakad sila. Hindi niya maexplain ang feeling niya. First time sila nagkaroon ng close encounter ni Slater at magkakilala na sila OFFICIALLY.
“Tadhana Tin, tadhana.” Wala sa loob na nasambit niya
“May sinasabi ka? “tanong ni Slater
“Huh?Wala. Wala,” Pagdedeny niya
“Aw, okay.” Sagot na lamang ni Slater at nagpatuloy na silang maglakad nang di muli pang nag usap hanggang marating nila ang room nila
Pagkarating ay agad na naghanap ng mauupuan si Tin dahil marami pa naman pa lang bakante. Ibig sabihin, hindi pa sila late.
“Mind if I sit beside you?” Ani si Slater kay Tin
“ Nako Slatermyloves , you can sit beside me anytime.” Muntik ng sabihin ni Tin yun buti na lang napigil niya ang saili bago pa kung ano ang masabi niya.
“Sure. Wala pa naman ako katabi eh saka wala pa din ako kakilala sa class na to.” Sagot pa ni Tin
“Oo nga, ako din. Ikaw pa lang kakilala ko.” Sabi naman ni Slater nang makaupo na sa tabi ni Tin
“Oh see. Yung girlfriend mo, di natin classmate ditto?” tanong ni Tin
“Girlfriend?” kunot noong balik tanong ni slater
“Yong classmate natin sa world lit kanina. Yung katabi mo.”
“Ah si Den? No. She’s not my girlfriend. She’s just a newfound friend like you.”
“Newfound friend? Just like me? Friends na tayo?” tanong ni Tin. Hindi niya mapigilang matuwa nang malamang wala palang girlfriend si Slater plus kinonsider na siya nitong kaibigan.
“Oo, bakit, ayaw mo?”
“Hindi naman. Ok lang.” sabi ni Tin sabay ngiti kay Slater.
“Oh Man! This is heaven! Anghel ang katabi ko.” Si Slater ay natutuwa ngayong nagkalapit na sila ni Tin. Ito na ang hinihintay nyang pagkakataon.
“Thanks.” Ganting ngiti ni Slater kay Tin
“Hey! Magngingitian na lang ba kayong dalawa?” Biglang napukaw ng kung sino mang nagsalita ang malay y ng dalawa
“Carlo?” nagulat si Slater. Ang kaibigan nyang si Carlo pala ang panira ng moment nila
“Yes dude its me. Pakilala mo naman ako kay miss beautiful na kangitian mo. Hindi ko akalain na classmate pala kita dito. For sure talo na naman ako sa’yo.”
“Loko!” Sagot ni Slater saka tinapik sa balikt si Carlo
“Ang damot mo talaga!Sinosolo mo lahat Kung ayaw mo siya ipakilala well , ipapakilala ko sarili ko. Hi miss I’m Carlo, Slater’s kabarkada.“
“Tin.” Tipid na tugon ni Tin
“ Nice to meet you Pretty Tin.” Sabi ni Carlo saka inilahad ang kamay upang makipagshake hands kay Tin
“ Same here.”
“Si Carlo panira na ng moment, agaw eksena pa. Urrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh!” ngitngit ni Slater. Parang gusto niyang hilahin at itapon palayo si Carlo ora mismo kaya lang ayaw niyang mahalata nila ang nararamdaman niya para kay Tin
Chapter 7
Ang isip ko'y litong-lito
Di ko alam ang gagawin
Hirap ako sa paghuli ng 'yong pansin
Kapag nasasalubong ka
Dibdib ko'y kakaba-kaba
Pati ang tuhod ko'y nanlalambot na rin.
Hayan na nga't sumulyap na
Ang mapupungay mong mga mata
Kasalanan ko ba ang mapatulala,
ha, ha, ha?
Mr. Dreamboy, Mr. Dreamboy
Ano kaya ang nasa isip mo?
Mr. Dreamboy, Mr. Dreamboy
Lagi kang nasa panaginip ko.
Doo'y kinakausap ka
At sweet na sweet kang talaga
Medyo may holding hands pa nga
Parang ayoko nang magising pa.
Heto ako't litong-lito
At di alam ang gagawin
Buong maghapo'y nangangarap ng gising
Iniisip-isip kita,
Ang charming mong mga mata
At ang iyong ngiting walang kasing-galing.
Lagi kang nasa panaginip ko.
Sana'y masabi ko sa 'yo
Ang nakatagong lihim ko
Ikaw ang tanging dreamboy ko.
Mananatiling dreamboy ko,
Ikaw ang tanging dreamboy ko.
“Mr. Dreamboy, Mr. Dreamboy
Ano kaya ang nasa isip mo?
Mr. Dreamboy, Mr. Dreamboy
Lagi kang nasa panaginip ko. “ Pag sabay pa ni Tin sa pinapakinggan habang nasa kotse siya nina Kevin
“Christine will you please stop singing? Ang sakit sa tenga.” Angal pa ni Kevin
“Tse. Pabayaan mo ko. Masaya ang araw ko!” nakangiti pang sagot ni Tin
“Why?What happened? Tell me.”
“Libre muna!”
“Eff. Ayaw ko.”
“Fine! Di na kita bestfriend.”
“Sus as if naman kaya mo!”
“Weh, kung makapagsalita to.”
“Sabihin mo na kase why. You are so happy eh, you look like someone na nakatira ng drugs.” Pang aasar pa ni Kevin
“Walang basagan ng trip, pare!”
“Ano ba talaga?Tell me or else I’ll throw you out of this car.” Banta ni Kevin
“Si Slater.”
“Ano si Slater?”
“Friend ko na. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!” tili pa ni Tin
“Christine, ano yan. Kung makatili ka naman.” Saway ni Eting kay Tin. Si Eting ang loyal driver nina Kevin at malapit sa pamilya nito at maging pamilya nina Tin. Sanay na ang magkaibigang Tin at Kevin na mapagsabihan ni Eting
“Oo nga Kuya Eting. Parang baliw lang.”
“Eh kase , ang saya. Isipin mo yun friends na kami ni Slatermyloves?”
“What?”gulat na tanong ni Kevin
“Yes tama pagkakarinig mo. Friends na kami.”
“Weh? Pano nangyari yun?”
“Syempre siya lumapit.”
“Feeler neto.”
“Haha. Basta ang saya ko. “Kinikilig pa ring sabi ni Tin
….
“Dude! Friends na kami!”
“What? I can’t hear you.” Sabi ni Divine habang kausap ni Slater sa fone
“Friends na nga kami!”
“Nino?”
“Sino pa eh di si Tin.”
“Ow how come?”
“Destiny made it possible.”
“Eww.” Ang nasagot ni Divine dito
“Pagbigyan mo na ko. Para naman hindi kita bestfriend nyan eh.”
“Ok fine. Ok bye for now. Magkwento ka na lang some other time. We have to do something pa.”
“Ok. Bye.”
“Haaaaaaaay Tin. This is it. Wala na akong pakialam sa gusto ng family ko.” Sabi na lang ni Slater matapos makausap ang kaibigan
Chapter 8
“Oh Kuya Masaya ka ata ngayon.” Puna ni Kim sa kapatid
“Yes. I’m so happy dear sister.” Sagot ni Slater
“Oh bakit?”
“Eh kasi parang yung tadhana na ang gumagawa ng paraan para sa gusto kong mangyari.”
“Oh? Ano naman yun?Ba’t parang seryoso ka ata ngayon? Anong meron kuya?”
“Nasabi ko na ba sa’yo dati na may nagugustuhan akong girl?”
“Kuya never mo pa nasabi, akala ko nga bakla ka eh. Tas ayaw mo pa kay Ate Joya. Ilang taon na lang papakasal na kayo.”
“Ayoko magpakasal kay Joya dahil iba ang gusto ko.”
“Ows kuya? Babae o lalaki?” natatawang asar ni Kim sa kapatid
“Baliw, syempre babae.”
“Thank you lord! Hindi bading, shokla, jokla ang kuya ko!”
“Ah ganon, bading ako? Eh yung jowa mo ba straight?ganti ni Slater
“Naman!” sagot ni Kim
“Weh?”
“Sus kuya naman dinamay mo pa si Mark ditto. So ano na nga? Bakit ka Masaya?”
“Eh kase, friend ko na yung gusto kong girl.”
“Talaga? At sino naman yung malas na girl na yun?”
“Si Tin.” Tipid na sagot ni Slater
“Tin?As in Christine Alonzo?Yung anak ng kalaban nila dad sa negosyo? Naku kuya patay tayo dyan!”
“Alam ko. Kaya nga di ko siya malapitan dati eh kahit gaano ko siya kagusto.”
“Ang labo kuya.”
“Tas may boyfriend pa siya.”
“Ouch! At mas lalong mas naging Malabo.”
“Pero okay lang ang importante eh friends na kami ngayon. Magiging ok din ang lahat.”
“Yeah, pero kuya advice ko lang if you really love/like her then go for it. Hayaan mo na sila mommy and dad. Maiintindihan din namn nila sa bandang huli na ayaw mo talaga kay ate joya.” Sabi ni kim na may halong biro at natawa pa sa sinabi
“Baliw ka talaga kimmy!”
“Syempre, mana sayo!”
….
“Kuyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!” sigaw ni Tin pagkarating ng bahay nila
“Oh bakit ba?Anong nangyari?”
“Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.” Tili pa uli ni Tin
“Hey stop screaming, parang busina yang boses mo. Ano ba nagyari sayo?”
“Si S friend ko na!”
“So?” pabalewang sagot ng kuya niya
“Kainis ka naman kuya eh.” Simangot pa niya
“Dapat matagal mo na siyang friend kung matagal mo na siyang crush.”
“Di naman kasi madali lumapit dun noh. Saka hello, hindi papayag ang parents natin pati din siguro parents niya.”
“Eh bakit sa tingin mo, ngayon papayag na sila maging close kayo?”
“Eh malalaki naman na kami eh saka I’m turning 18 and siguro naman hindi na malaki galit ng parents naming sa isa’t isa.”
“Asa ka pa kela mommy. Knowing them hindi parin tuluyang nababaon ang issues nila with the Rodriguez.”
“Ah bahala sila. Friends lang naman kami ni Slater eh.”
Chapter 9
“Goodmorning TIN!”
“Oh Slater, nagulat naman ako sa’yo.” Papasok sa gate nun si TIN nang may biglang sumabay sa kanya sa paglakad. Nagulat na lang siya nang makilalang si Slater pala
“Ay sorry. Wala kang kasama ngayon ah?”
“Wala. Absent kasi si Kevin. May pinuntahan this day kaya ako lang mag-isa.”
“Oh see. Pwedeng sumabay?”
“Sure.” Sabi pa ni Tin sabay ngiti.
Sabay nang naglakad ang dalawa.
“May class ka na?” tanong ni Slater
“Wala pa. Maya maya pa. Ikaw?”
“Maya maya din. 9 am.”
“Ah. 10 ako ngayon eh. Masyadong napaaga lang.”
“Ah. 8 pa lang naman eh. Tara kain muna tayo sa canteen. My treat.”ani Slater
“Ha?Ah eh nako nakakahiya naman sa’yo”kunyari ay pagtanggi niya pero sa loob niya any wagas ang kilig na nararamdaman niya
“Wala yun, besides ako naman nagyaya eh. So shall we?”
“Sigurado ka?”
“Oo naman. Wala naman akong sinasabing di ko natutupad eh. So ano?Tara na?”
“Okay. Sabi mo eh.”
Sa canteen ay mga estudyante ring nagpapalipas oras muna at dun tumatambay habang wala pang klase. Umorder agad sila ng makakain at naghanap ng pwedeng upuan. Halos puno din kase ang canteen. Mabuti na lang at meron namang hindi pa ukopado. Umupo na sila at nagsimulang kumain habang nagkekwentuhan.
Sa tabi ng table na inukopa nila ay may lalaki at babaeng nakikinig ng kanta at sweet na sweet sa isa’t isa. Obvious na magboyfriend.
“I never thought this day would come. This is something that I wanted in my life.”
“Hala at nakisabay pa ang kanta sa nararamdaman ko!” hiyaw ng utak ni Tin
“Ang cool ng kanta ah. Bagay sa nararamdam ko ngayon.” Sa utak naman ni Slater
“Ang cute ng song noh.” Basag ni Tin sa katahimikan.
“Oo nga eh. Ano nga bang title nyan?”
“Nakalimutan ko nga rin eh. Basta lagi ko naririnig yan. Ang cute lang. Nakakabigay ng goodvibes.”
“Tama ka dun. Parang ang sarap pakinggan.”
“At tignan mo oh. Ang cute nilang tignan.” mahinang Sabi ni Tin na ang tinutukoy any ang magkapareha sa tabi nila
“Oo nga…... Sana tayo rin.” Mahinang dugtong ni Slater
“Anong sabi mo?”
“Ah wala.Sabi ko ang cute nga nila.”
“Tama ba ang narinig ko o nabingi lang ako?Whatever Tin! Bingi at ilusyunada ka na siguro.” Sabi na naman ng maliit na boses sa utak ni Tin.
“Inggit ka?”
“Huh?” nagulat pa si Slater sa tanong ni Tin.
“Ang sabi ko inggit ka. Tama ako noh? Inggit ka noh?Uyy aminin.”
“HA? Hindi ah. Ba’t naman ako maiinggit?”
“Sa tingin mo palang kase sa kanila iba na eh. Yung tingin na SANA ako RIN.” Pang aasar ni Tin kay Slater
“Naku kung alam mo lang talaga Tin! Kung alam mo lang.”
“Hindi ah. Ang kulit mo rin pala noh. Akala ko nung una, tahimik ka.”
“Akala mo lang yun, di nga ko mapagtiiisan ni KEVIN eh.”
“Aray ko naman Tin. Ang ganda n asana ng mood ko. Binanggit mo pa pangalan ng boyfriend mo.” Himutok na namn ng utak ni Slater.
“Buti magkasama pa rin kayo hanggang ngayon.” Tipid at hindi na nakangiting sabi ni Slater
“Oo nga eh. Through the years. Ang saya lang makahanap ng kagaya niya who will stand by me no matter what. Ang swerte ko sa kanya.” Sabi pa ni Tin na lalong ikinasama ng timpla ni Slater
“Sige Tin, ibida mo pa boyfriend mo. Ibida mo pa.”
“Good for you. Uy teka, 9 na pala kelangan ko na umalis may class pa ko.”pagpapaalam ni Slater
“Ay oo nga pala. Sige. Dito na muna ako. Ingat ka ah at salamat sa treat.”
“Wala yun. Sige ah. Alis na muna ako. See you around Tin.”
“See you around,…… Dreamboy.”
Chapter 10
Naging malapit sina Slater at Tin sa isa’t isa sa pagdaan ng mga araw. Mas lalo nilang nakilala ang isa’t isa at mas lalo ring lumalalim ang nararamdaman nnila sa isa’t isa.
“Tin!” tawag ni Slater kay Tin nang Makita siya nito na naglalakad papasok sa eskwelahan
“Oh Jan?” nakasanayan ng tawagin ni Tin na Jan si Slater. Minsan din Janjan ang tawag niya dito samantalang Tintirintintin naman ang tawag nito sa kanya
“Wala ka uling kasama?” nakangiting tanong ni Slater
“Di ba obvious?” may halong birong pambabara ni Tin
“Asan si Kevin?”
“Sinundo si Jess.”
“Ah, hindi ka sinama?”
“Hindi! Kalabisan ako ron.”
“Huh? Kalabisan? Bakit?”
“Duh! Susunduin niya girlfriend niya tas kasama ako? Dyahe kaya yun!”
“Huh? Girlfriend niya?”
“OO! Girlfriend nga niya. Bakit? Nagulat ka na may girlfriend si Kevin?”
“No, its just that akala ko kayo.”
“Huh?Anong kami? Parang incest na din pag naging kami. Bestfriend ko siya. We grew up together. Through the years magkasama kami, we’re like siblings na. Kulang na lang maging magkadugo kami tapos kami? Kaloka ka Slater!”
“All along akala ko kayo.”
“Slater!Oh MAN!Hindi pala sila! You’re so stupid!” hiyaw ng utak ni Slater
“Hindi noh! Never naging kami and never magiging kami. Di ko papatulan kapatid ko.” Sabi pa ni Tin sabay tawa
“Sorry. “Napakamot sa batok na sabi ni Slater
“Sus! Ok lang.” nakangiti naming sagot ni Tin
“Uhm. Tin.”
“Oh?”
“Uhm, kasee. Ah eh.” Nauutal na pagsasalita ni Slater na parang nagpapcute
“Ano na?”
“Kase. Baka pwede ako na maghatid sa’yo mamaya? Since wala si KEVIN so baka kako mapano ka sa daan so hatid na lang kita.”
“OMG!Tin trulalo na itey?Hindi ka ba nananaginip lang?Waaaaaaah!” kinikilig na hiyaw ng utak ni Tin
“Huh? Naku nakakahiya naman sa’yo. “
“Hindi noh. Ok lang.
“Sure ka?”
“Oo naman.” Nakangiting sagot si Slater
“Hindi naman siya sobrang gwapo, ngunit siya ay type na type ko. Wag mo nang tagalan ang paghihirap ng puso ko.Mr. Kupido ako nama’y tulungan mo. Bakit di panain ang kanyang damdamin at nang ako ay mapansin. Mr.kupido sa kanya’y dead na dead ako.. “ hindi mapigilang mapangiti ni tin habang paulit ulit na kinakanta sa isip niya ang MR. KUPIDO...
Chapter 11
“Slater, pwedeng magpatulong? Ang hirap kasi eh. Di kinakaya na utak ko ang magsolve pa.”paglapit pa ni tin kay slater, ang seatwork nila sa math ang tinutukoy niya.
“Akina. Tignan ko nga. Madali lang naman ang solvings eh, akina nga ang sa’yo, tignan ko.”
“Hindi ko kasi maintindihan.”
“Sige , ako na magsosolve para sa’yo.”
“Talaga?” medyo napalakas na bulalas ni Tin. Nakalimutan nyang nasa harap lang pala ang prof nila.
“Ms.Alonzo, Mr.Rodriguez ano yan?” sita ng prof nila
“Ah, wala po mam. Masaya lang po si Tin kasi nakuha na niya ang sagot.” Palusot ni Slater
“Ok, continue your work at wag kayong mag-ingay.”
“Yes mam!” sabay na sagot ng dalawa
“Uy.. Sorry. Nadamay ka tuloy. Ang ingay ko kasi eh.”
“No don’t be. Ok lang. Eto na oh. Tapos ko na.”
“Wow ang bilis naman! Galing mo talaga. Nung ako kanina, di ko matapos tapos. Tas ikaw ang bilis lang.”
“Madali lang naman kasi.”
“Eh para sa’yo oo. Eh sakin hindi. Ang obobs ko talaga.”simangot pa ni Tin
“Gusto mo turuan kita sa math?”
“Talaga? Tuturuan mo ko?”
“Oo. Bakit? Ayaw mo?”
“Kung hindi ba ako istorbo sa’yo eh di Oks na oks sakin.”
“Sige. When will we start?”
“Sa libreng oras mo na lang. Ayoko naman makaistorbo sa’yo. Nakakahiya na masyado.”
“Libre ako mamaya.”
“Talaga? De, ok lang kung mamaya?”Naeexcite na wika ni Tin
“Oo naman. Saan mo gusto?”
“Basta’t ikaw kasama ko, kahit saan ok lang sa akin.” Sa utak pa ni Tin
“Dito na lang siguro sa school para walang hassle.”
“Sure sige.” Nakangiting sabi ni Slater
“Salamat.”
Chapter 12
“Tintin, gusto mo ba kumain muna bago tayo magstart?” tanong ni Slater kay Tin
“Oo ba!Sige tara! Libre ko.”
“No Tin, ako na manlilibre.” Masuyong sabi ni Slater kay Tin na may ngiti sa labi
“Lagi na lang ikaw. Nahihiya na talaga ako sa’yo.”
“Sus, ok lang. Ikaw pa. Malakas ka sakin eh.”
“Waaaaah Tin! Tin malakas ka daw sa kanya!” kinikilig na naming hiyaw ng utak ni Tin
“Sigurado ka ba talaga?”
“No worries okay? Next time ka na lang bumawi sa kin.”
“Wag kang laging ganyan Slater, baka mamihasa ako at lalong mahulog sayo.” mahinang sabi ni tin
“May sinasabi ka Tin?”
“Ha?Ah wala. Kumakanta lang ako.”
“Ah. Ok. Tara na!”
…
“Ah Tin may itatanong sana ako sana ako sa’yo.” Ani Slater nang nasa canteen na sila
“Ano yun?”
“Di ba nasabi mo last time na hindi kayo ni Kevin?”
“Oo bakit?”
“Hala Tin. Interesado ata ang dreamboy mo.”
“Curious lang kase ako. Di ba nga mula pagkabata eh magkasama na kayo. Never ba talaga kayo nainlove sa isa’t isa?”
“Hindi. Never ako nainlove sa kanya. Honestly. Kase nga diba magkasama na kami since birth. Parang nakaset na sa mind ko na ‘ Oh Tin OFF LIMITS yan. Kapatid mo na yan eh.’ Yung ganon. Kaya siguro hindi ako nainlove sa kanya. And I’m sure ganon din siya sakin.”
“Talaga? Ganon lang feelings nyo sa isa’t isa?”
“Oo. Bakit?Hirap paniwalaan noh? Mostly kase ng mga bestfriends eh best lovers din pero kami hindi.’
“Oo parang typical na magkainlaban ang magbestfriend.”
“Oo nga kaya common na din. But iba talaga yung samin saka I’ve been inlove with someone since time immemorial.” Huli na para marealize ni Tin ang mga salitang nabitawan.
“Hala ang ***** mo Tin!Bakit mo nasabi yun?”
“Aray!Tama ba ang narinig mo Slater?Sakit nun ah! Hindi nga sila ni Kevin pero may iba naman siyang gusto at hindi lang gusto, inlove pa siya!Damn Slater! Talo ka na namn!”
“May special someone ka na?” kunyari ay hindi apektadong tanong ni Slater
“Ha?Eh kase. Hindi naman sa ganon. Pero parang ganon na nga.”
“Ikaw Slater!Ikaw lang!” ngali ngali ay isigaw ni Tin sa harap ni Slater
“Bakit di ka sigurado?Di niya pinaparamdam na special ka?” may halong inis at selos na sabi pa ni Slater
“Tanga lang niya kung ganon Tin!”
“Eh kase, uhm teka. Pano ko ba explain to? Ah eh kase. OO may special someone ako pero yun nga lang di niya alam.” Di maipaliwanag ni Tin ang nararamdaman habang sinasabi yun. Parang sasabog na ang dibdib nya at baka makapagtapat siya kay Slater ng di oras.
“What do you mean?”
“May gusto akong guy kaya lang di niya alam na gusto ko siya.Nakakahiya naman aminin kase baka sabihin niya at ng ibang tao na cheap ako saka baka lumayo siya sakin.”
“Close ba kayo?Bakit di mo sabihin sa kanya ang nararamdaman mo?Malay mo pareho pala kayo ng nararamdaman.”
“Ouch!The most stupid advice na nabigay mo Slater.”
“Ewan ko sa takdang panahon siguro Jan. Di pa din ako sure kung simple crush o iba na ang nafefeel ko eh. Eenjoy ko na lang muna siguro ang mga nangyayari.”
“Sino ba siya?Maybe I can help?”
“Slater, ***** ka ba o nagtatanga tangahan lang?”Anang maliit na boses sa utak niya.
“Wag. Secret na muna.” Sabi ni Tin na nakangiti
“Okay sabi mo eh."
Chapter 13
“Kev, what if sabihin ko na kaya kay Slater ang nararamdaman ko?” ani ni Tin. Sabado non at walang pasok kaya chill lang sila sa bahay nina Kevin
“What? Magmumukha kang cheap if you’ll do that.”
“Eh kase namn eh, I really want to tell him na. Parang sasabog ang dibdib ko everytime kasama ko sia.”
“Just hold back, ok? Wait till siya ang mauna. You’re the girl. You shoudnt be the one making the first move.”
“I know. Pero kase kainis eh..’
“Magtiis ka. But if ayaw niya sayo wala ka magagawa”
“Alam mong I like himvery much.”
“I know. Inlove ka nga eh.”
“Yun na nga eh. Everytime kasama ko siya mas laong lumalalim ang nafefeel ko. Anong gagawin ko?”
“Iwasan mo siya.”
“Ngayon pa?Ngayon pang nagiging close na kami?”
“If you don’t wanna fall deeply then iwasan mo siya.”
“Ewan ko kung kaya kong iwasan siya best.” Nakasimangot na sabi ni tin
“Christine, you have to control your feelings.”
“I don’t know if I can.”
“Aw. Basta whatever happens im always here, ok?”
“Thak you my bestfriend.”
Mr. Kupido
Ako nama'y tulungan mo
Ba't hindi panain ang kanyang
damdamin
At nang ako ay mapansin
Mr. Kupido
Sa kanya'y dead na dead ako
Huwag mo nang tagalan
Ang paghihirap ng puso ko
pagkanta pa ni Tin habang iniisip ang dreamboy niya.
…
“Oh kuya, malungkot ka ata?” tanong ni Kim pagdating ng kapatid
“BAdtrip lang ako.” Ani Slater
“Bakit?”
“May special someone na kasi siya.”
“Special someone pa? Eh di ba may boyfriend na siya?”
“Hindi. Hindi nya pala bf yun. Bestfriend niya pero meron talaga sia ibang gusto.”
“Eh ano naman ngayon? Hindi naman ata sila ng gusto niya di ba? “
“hindi, hindi alam nung guy”
“Oh eh di ligawan mo na! Gora na kuya bago ka pa maunahan.”
“Nakakatakot,baka ireject niya ako.”
“Kuya sino namang girl ang aayaw sayo? Gwapo, mayaman, matalino, mabait. The Perfect example of MR.PERFECT. Oh di ba?”
“Sus, may kailangan ka lang eh. Nambola ka pa.”
“Hindi ah. True yun!. Mana kaya ako sayo.”
“Oo na, ikaw talaga.”
Slater:
Huwag mo nang tagalan ang paghihirap
ng puso ko
"Kuya, ikaw lang nagpapatagal sa pghihirap ng puso mo. Walang magagawa si Mr.Kupido dyan." pang aasar pa ni Kim
"I know.." tipid na sagot ni Slater sa kapatid
Tunay na kapag umibig
Lagi kang mananaginip
Pag kasama mo siya ay ligaya
na walang patid
patuloy pa na pagkanta pa ni Slater.
Chapter 14
“Kev, dyan na lang ako. Palit tayo!” ani Tin. Gusto nyang makipagpalit kay Kevin kase malapit lang si Slater sa kinauupuan niya
“Bakit?”
“Eh kase naiilang ako eh. Nasa malapit lang siya tas nakatingin pa sakin.”
“Sino? Kunyari ay hindi alam ni Kevin kung sino ang tinutukoy ni Tin
“Eh sino pa ba?”
“Ah si Mr.Perfect mo.”
“Oo! Dali na. Palit na tayo!”
“Ok.”
Ilang sandali ay magkapalit na ng upuan sina Kevin at Tin. Sa sulok ng mga ni Tin ay nakikita nyang nakatingin pa rin sa kanya si Slater
“ What is he up to?” sa utak ni Tin
“Kev, kanina pa siya nakatingin sakin.” Bulong niya sa kaibigan
“Feeler ka!”
“Hindi! Promise! Kanina pa talaga siya nakatingin sakin.”
“Weh.”
“Oo nga. Tignan mo kasi.”
Lumingon nga si Kevin sa gawi ni Slater at nakita nya itong nakatingin kay Tin
“Hala. Oo nga. And based on his facial expressions niya, parang inlove siya sa’yo.”
“Wag ka ganyan. Baka umasa ako ng matindi.”
“ I am a guy, alam ko kung ano ang mga lalaki pag inlove. Trust me Christine you’ll soon be happy.”
“Talaga?”
“Yeah. You deserve to be, my dearest bestfriend.”
“Aw. Thank you bestfriend.” Pagkasabi nun ay isinandal ni Tin ang ulo sa balikat ni Kevin. Hindi naman sila masyado napansin ng prof nila dahil busy ito sa ginagawa
…
Nakakuyom ang kamao ni Slater habang tinititigan si Tin na nakasandal kay Kevin. Gustong-gusto na nyang lumapit kay Tin at ilayo ito mula sa kaibigan kaya lang ayaw niya ng gulo. Pinasya na lang niyang kausapin si Tin pagkatapos ng klase.
“Tin, pwede ka bang makausap?” aniya dito habang sinasabayan ito sa paglakad
Tumingin muna ito kay Kevin at ngumiti sa lalaki pagkatapos ay nauna nang lumakad si Kevin at naiwan silang dalawa
“ Anong pag-uusapan natin?” ani Tin nang sila na lang
“I need to tell you something.”
“Ano yun?”
“It’s about.. uhmmm. Us..”
“What? Us?” nagulat si Tin sa sinabi ni Slater.
“OMG! Tin! What us is he talking about? Eto na ba? Eto na ba to Tin?” hiyaw ng utak ni Tin
“Yes. I need to tell you something before its too late.”
“Huh? Nakakatakot naman yan.” Sinisikap ni Tin na pagaanin ang uneasiness na nararamdaman
“Yes! Im serious! Please let me talk first. I have to finish everything bago pa ako kabahang lalo.”
“Ano ba kasi yang sasabihin mo? Sabihin mo na dahil kinakabahan na din ako.”
“I don’t know how to start..”
“Sabihin mo na Slater!” medyo napalakas na sabi ni tin
“Ok, ok. I LIKE YOU!”
“Ah.. Ok.. You like…. What? You like me? You’re joking right?” gulat na sabi ni Tin. Wish nga nyang sabihin yun ni Slater pero nung nasabi na nito ay hindi niya matukoy kung ano ang mararamdaman. Hindi siya makaapuhap ng sasabihin.
“Yes, I do like you. Infact, I think mahal na kita.”
“Hindi ka sure? You think lang eh.” Hindi pa rin siya lubusang masaya sa naging rebelasyon ni Slater. Hindi pa iyon ang gusto nyang marinig mula dito. Hindi pa siguro sigurado ang lalaki sa nararamdaman para sa kanya
“No! Ok, I’m inlove with you!” natetense na sabi ni Slater
“Napipilitan ka lang eh!.”
“Darn, Christine! Believe me. I love you!” napalakas na sabi ni Slater. Napatingin tuloy sa kanila ang mga dumadaan.
“Hanep ka rin ah. Magcoconfess ka lang, galit ka pa.” may ngiti sa labing sabi ni Tin
“You’re not taking me seriously.”
“Hindi ka mukhang seryoso.”
“ Seryoso nga ako eh. Why can’t you just believe me?”
“Believe you? Hmm. Sige , pag isipan ko.” Sabi pa ni Tin at iniwan na si Slater
“Tiiiinnnnnn!” tawag pa ni Slater dito pero hindi na ito lumingon
….
“Keviiiiiiiiiiiiin!” pagtawag ni Tin sa kaibigan
“Oh? Akala ko ba magkausap kayo ni Slater?”
“Tapos na and guess what?” napuno ng saya ang mata ni Tin
“What?”
“Nagtapat na si Slater!”
“Ows? Ang imagination mo talaga Christine, matindi!”
“Totoo ang sinasabi ko. Kahit ako nga di rin makapaniwala eh.”
“Oh?Nagtapat talaga? Anong sabi niya at anong sagot mo?”
“Sabi niya I THINK IM INLOVE WITH YOU. Tas sabi ko mukha namang di siya sure but he keeps on insisting na mahal na daw niya ako the ako sabi ko pag iisipan ko kung maniniwala ko.”
“Talaga?Sinabi niya talaga yun?”
“Yup. I never thought , this day would come.. This is something that I wanted in my life.” Pagkanta pa ni Tin
“You’re really inlove.” Ang tanging nasabi na lamang ni Kevin
“Who wouldnt be if the guy is like him?” sagot ni Tin na nakangiti pa rin.
Chapter 15: MY HEART HAS A MIND OF ITS OWN
“Kuya, anong resulta pagtatapat mo?” salubong ni Kim kay Slater
“Ayun, basted.” Nakasimangot na sagot ni Slater
“What?Binasted ka?”
“Ewan. Actually, di naman niya direktang sinagot.”
“Ano ba sabi niya?”
“Ayaw niya maniwala. Sabi niya pag-iisipan daw niya kung maniniwala siya o hindi.”
“Baka kase di ka kapanipaniwala kuya. Baka akala niya binobola mo siya.”
“Seryoso ako nun. Tapos parang tinawanan lang ako.”
“Eh baka nga di ka talaga type. Baka naunahan ka na ng gusto niya.”
“No! Hindi pwedeng mangyari yun.”
“Ipupursue mo siya even if it means tatalikuran mo ang dapat mong gawin in the future?”
Ang pagpapakasal kay Joya ang tinutukoy ni Kim.
“Even if it means disobeying our parents, Kim.”
“Ganun mo siya kagusto?”
“Mahal ko siya and I won’t give up. But please, don’t tell mom and dad that I’m pursuing a girl at wag mong babanggitin si Tin.”
“Sure Kuya. Secret lang yun, promise.”…
“Goodmorning Tin!” bati ni Slater kay Tin kinaumagahan matapos niyang magtapat ditto
“Hi goodmorning!” sagot ni Tin na nakangiti. Tumingin it okay Kevin at ngumiti sa lalaki. Tila nakaunawa naman si Kevin sa nais ipahiwatig ni Tin kaya iniwan na nito ang dalawa
“Ayaw kase maniwala ng babaeng gusto ko na gusto ko siya.” Pagpaparinig ni Slater kay Tin
“Oh talaga? Kawawa ka naman.’
“Ewan ko nga eh. Di ko alam kung pano ko mapapatunayan sa kanya na gusto ko talaga siya, na mahal ko na talaga siya.” Dagdag pa ni Slater
Hindi makaapuhap ng sasabihin si Tin kay Slater kaya nagpasya na lang siyang manahimik. Sumeryoso naman si Slater at nagsalita ulit.
“Tin, won’t you really believe me?”
“Depende.”
“Depende saan?”
“Depende kung ililibre mo ako.” Nakangiti ng wika ni Tin sabay lakad ng mabilis. Humabol naman sa kanya si Slater.
“Tintin! Anong ibig mong sabihin?”
“Bahala kang magfigure out.” Patuloy pa rin sa paglalakad si Tin papuntang Canteen…
“Does this mean na naniniwala ka na sa’kin? Tanong ni Slater
“Oo.’ Tipid na sagot ni Tin
“Will you allow me to court you?”
“Pag pumasa ka kay Kevin, oo.” Nasabi niya lang yun pero ang totoo, nang mga oras nay un kahit hindi pa nagtatanong si Slater ay oo na agad ang sagot niya. Kailangan niya lang pigilan ang sarili niya.
“What?Bakit kailangang kasali si Kevin dito?”
“Bestfriend ko siya. I need his opinion.”
“Ok, ok. Lahat ba ng naging boyfriend mo dumaan sa kanya?”
“Di pa ko nagkakaboyfriend.”
“Oh bakit?Dahil ba kay Kevin?”
“Hindi! Dahil sa’yo.” Huli na ng marealize ni Tin ang salitang nabitawan. Hindi na niya pwede pang bawiin kaya nanahimik na lang siya uli. Hindi pa niya pwedeng ibulgar ang totoong nararamdaman para dito.
“What?Anong sabi mo?”
“Ha? Wala. May sinabi ba ako?Wala naman akong sinasabi ah.” Pagdedeny ni Tin
Where am I?? What is this place?? There’s nothing else I could perceive but a gray painted surrounding.. Somehow, the strange feeling makes me feel so scared.. I run.. I just keep on running hoping that I will find a light somewhere.. While I was running, gasping for air, I notice a familiar silhouette ---- a silhouette of a man.. I run towards him but why does it feels like I’m not getting any closer to him.. It’s as if I’m running towards an unending path but I know that I still have to keep on running..
The man standing at the opposite end slowly turns to face me.. It is dark so I can barely see him but the longer I fix my stare at him the more I can see him better.. The face of this familiar person, I know him..... I know him and I am stunned to see him..
“Slateeeer”, I shout for his name.. “Slateeerrr” I keep on calling for him but why isn’t he moving.. Why won’t he call me back.. Can’t he hear me?? Can’t he see me.. “Slaaaateeer”, I scream for his name with all I’ve got hoping for him to hear me..
But why can’t he hear me?? Why can’t he notice me.. That person is turning his back on me and starts to walk away... “No.. Slater... Please.. turn this way..turn this way..” I beg as I dash towards him but I still can’t get any closer to him.. I feel so scared as he slowly disappears in front of me..
“KKKKKRRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNGGGGGGGGGG”, the deafening sound coming from my alarm woke me up.... “What a dream”. I cursed softly..
“Tin, breakfast’s ready.. Come on down..”, I could hear my mom calling for me from downstairs.
I instantly jump off my bed and start preparing for University.
----------------------------
While I am fixing my things on my locker, a sudden “Bang” harsh sound beside me.. I shiftily turn to look on where the sound came from..
“How’s the morning Tin?”, Kevin greeted me with such delight and so much enthusiasm in him.
I shift my attention back on securing my locker.. “Not now Kevin.. I’m seriously not in the mood.” I said then I start to make steps away from him..
“What?? Is greeting a friend early in the morning a bad thing to do??”, Kevin asked with a complaining tone while trying to get his pace with mine.
“It’s not that Kevin. I’m just not in the mood right now.” I explained to not disappoint his ‘friendliness’.
I could hear him sigh, “Well, does this have something to do with Prof again?”. He asked with a dismayed tone.
I glance at him with such a hopeless expression, “I don’t want to talk about it .” I simply answered then make my pace faster than him because I know that he won’t stop asking me questions until I give him an upright answer so I just have to avoid him..
Yeah, Kevin’s a good friend of mine.. And his the only person whom I talk to in this University.. Maybe the only person I could trust with anything.. That’s what I thought but everything changed the moment I met Professor Young, one of our subject professor. A man with such principle, a man you can view as the epitome of perfection --- good features, decent manners, highly respected for his numerous achievements in such an early age, a man to inherit this huge university and not to mention the man whom I share this undisclosed relationship with.
YES!! You’re right, I am in a student-teacher relationship with my professor which is ‘not morally allowed’.. And this relationship remained a secret that only the three of us know – Slater, I and Kevin.. We’ve been dating for almost two years now and we were able to keep it private.. The past two years was indeed hard for the both us.... Once our relationship will be known to the public, it will surely bring trouble not just to me but also to Professor Young..
We were doing fine---- that was what I thought but then after I came back from a week tennis tournament in Cebu everything seemed to be different.... I know something had changed.... And yes, my relationship with Slater seemed to be facing some problems.. Problems that I couldn’t even figure out.. Problems that he wouldn’t even divulge..
It’d been almost a week already when he started acting cold towards me.. He wouldn’t see me the same way he usually does.. He stopped sending me messages and he doesn’t even bother answering my calls.. Every time we meet in the corridor, he wouldn’t even smile nor greet me back.... During class, he surely tries to avoid making an eye contact to me.. I’m seriously making myself look like an idiot by desperately looking for a chance to get near him just to talk about what’s bothering him.. But in every attempt I make to talk to him, he keeps on shutting me out, much more I have the feeling that he is trying to avoid me.... To make the matter worse, he wouldn’t even tell me why...... Now, I am being avoided with reasons I don’t even know.... And that what makes me CRRRRAAAZZZYYYY... His cold treatment really pains me.. But what really hurts me the most is for him to treat me as if I don’t even exist all of a sudden without even telling me why....
-------------------------
After class, our professor asked me to meet the Department Head for a very important matter so I rush to the Head’s office... To my surprise, he hands me the sponsorship certificate I’ve been waiting for... Hooooraaaay!! I am very thankful to be chosen as one of those few students who are selected to be given the chance to go abroad for a year training and enhancement in the field of sports.. I’ve been really waiting for this opportunity but something else is holding me back.. That something makes me feel not to be happy at all.. And that something is----- the thought of leaving without even fixing things with Slater... I only have two weeks to prepare for this, two weeks before I leave for Australia, two weeks for me to patch up everything between I and Slater.. But how can I do that if he keeps on pushing me off.
As expected, a week have passed and I wasn’t able to get any closer to him.. It seemed like he acts colder and colder to me as the days passed.. Have he heard about my sponsorship?? If he did, won’t he even bother to at least approach me and give me the congratulatory remark that I deserve?? Won’t it matter for him if we won’t see each other for a year?? If those matters then why isn’t he saying a word to me up until now..
I just realized now, the feeling I had in my dream was the same feeling I am having now.. The feeling of wanting to be with him but I can’t get any closer to him.. It makes more scared to think that Slater will eventually disappear before me as it was in my dream..
------------------------
After class, I and Kevin joined the rest of the tennis club during the practice session.. I’m fully stressed now so I want to loosen up a bit, and tennis sure helps a lot.. Ever since then, tennis is my best stress reliever and my best stress receiver is Kevin.. He surely is a very good friend.. Always there when needed....
As Kevin gives his first serve, I already prepared myself to hit it.... He surely play tennis very well too..
“Be nice to me Tin..” he mocked me when my ‘hit back’ was too strong for him to take..
We played during the whole practice session but it seemed like the both of us are energetic enough to not even take a break.. As I serve the ball I could see Slater coming in and approaches our coach... It seems like they are having some serious conversation.. His mere presence really distracts me and I can’t help it but throw my attention to him..
“Tiiiinnn.” Kevin shouted..
I instantly shifted my attention.. Dang!! I could see the ball flying to me.. Too late for me to hit it back so I only have to avoid it.. As I quickly move sideways to dodge it, I lose my balance.... I fall on the ground and something really hurts--- my ankle hurts.. I can see my ankle swollen.. I hope it only inflammed, I can’t afford to be injured, not now that I already have my sponsorship..
“Tiinnn”, I could hear everyone calling my name with such concern.. Coach Kevin and some of the team came to check on my condition.. And to my surprise, it’s Slater who first approached me, “Are you okay?” he asked as he tries to inspect my ankle.. To see him having a bit of concern for me gives me the warm feeling..
“You okay?”, he again asked then give me a look.. I get so speechless.. nervous.... this is the first time he speaks up to me after giving me a cold treatment.. I notice that not only I who get an awkward feeling, I can see that he too feels the same way.. He immediately shifts his attention to coach as if intentionally trying to pretend that he’s not affected at all.. “I hope she’s not injured, but it’s really swollen..” he said.. He stands then gaze at Kevin, “Bring her to the Infirmary.”
I give him the look, as if trying to ask him why is he asking Kevin to do it if he can do it by himself.. Even if he’s my professor he is still my boyfriend after all.. Bringing your injured student to the infirmary won’t make people think something malicious about it.. Is he trying to put that cold treatment act again..?
“Can you walk?”, Kevin gently asked..
I nod and try to stand up.. I put my arm around Kevin’s neck and I can feel his hand around my waist, supporting me..
----------------
“Stay here.. I’ll just get your things, I’ll escort you home.” Kevin said then he leave the infirmary..
Not that long when I can hear footsteps, then somebody open the door..
I thought it was Kevin but I was wrong... “Slater”, surprised to see him..
Again, he give me the serious and calm look.. “I came to see how you are doing.” He formally said.
“That‘s surprising, so you still have a bit of concern left for me..” I said with a strong tone.
He pauses for a while then I notice him have a deep breath.. “Look Tin---“, he stops when Kevin comes in..
Kevin looks surprised too to see him in the infirmary.. He’s so easy to read..
“Take good care of your ankle..” then Slater turns his back attempting to leave..
“Wait..” I stop him.
For a moment I can’t speak out what I want to tell him.. “I wanna break up.” I softly said knowing that I will regret this soon.. I can’t see his reaction about it since I am facing his back.. But in the end he left the room without even saying a word.. Jerk!
Honestly, I was so afraid back there.. I am afraid to hear him say “Yes, let’s break up”, so I felt relieve when he left without saying anything.. I don’t know why I feel relieved, maybe because it gave me the hope that there is still a reason for me to hold on.. But then again, I can’t hide the sadness I feel..
“Tin.” Kevin softly called for me..
I look at him and I can see the uneasiness in his face.. It’s as if there’s something he wants to tell me or what..
“I.... There’s something...” he said but he still looks very hesitant to tell me whatever it is that is in his mind..
“There’s what?”, I asked.
Kevin pauses for a moment, as if trying to think if he will tell me or not..
“it’s about professor....” he said and give me the look that he is now willing to tell me something.
I give him the “What is it” look...
“Professor... he’s avoiding you for reason..” he said.
“What reason..” I asked with so much interest..
“When you were in Cebu, the University Council met with Professor Young.. They already know about him dating a student here in our University but they don’t know yet the student’s identity..” he explained..
“What? Why didn’t you tell me sooner”, I exclaimed with worry.
“He asked me not to tell you Tin.. He doesn’t want you to know about this..” he answered.
“And he thinks that everything will be better if he avoids me.. Wouldn’t it be better for him to tell me about this?.” I expressed with mixed emotions ----annoyed, anxious and mad about the situation..
“He was supposed totell you about this.. But he held back when he learned about your sponsorship... He knows that when the council finds out about your relationship they might take it against you and terminate your sponsorship.. He thinks that it would be better for you not to know anything because he knows that in the situation he’s in right now, you might hesitate to take this chance knowing that you will leave him with all the problems..” Kevin explained
I am speechless from what I heard... Slater.... He only thinks for my own good.. “The situation professor is in right now?? Is it that serious??” I anxiously asked.
Kevin pauses then hesitantly nods.. “Even if he’s the University President’s son, he might get suspended when the council will find out that he hasn’t broken up with you.. That’s the president’s order.. Much more, in the future, we all know that he will take over the University.. It won’t be good for his name to be involved in any scandals.. That’s why he didn’t want you to know about this.. He wants you to go achieve your goal..”
-------------
It’d been already days when I heard from Kevin about Slater’s condition.. What makes it hard is that I couldn’t even do anything.. There’s no use contemplating now, my flight will be tomorrow morning.. Maybe this is the best thing to do.. I’ll go abroad, I’ll get to train there and Slater won’t have to face any more problems..
------
As I am packing my clothes I can’t help to not ignore my phone.. Call him or not call him...?? Weak me, I give up and ended up calling him... I can’t really help it but to get nervous while waiting for his phone to ring.. Then a voice answered.. To my dismay, it’s the phone operator “Sorry, the number you have dialled is out of coverage area. Please try your call later. Sorry, the number....” so I end the call.
I just think that maybe that is a sign for us to just move on.... I throw myself on my bed, wanting to feel the feeling of being comforted... I just want to fall asleep and drift away, somewhere far away to relax..
“Beeeep”, I can hear a sound of a car parking outside our house.. I jump off my bed and walk near the window to peak outside.. From there, I can see a black CRV and Slater standing, leaning outside his car.. He instantly wave his hand with a smile as if saying “hi” to me.. I’m not really sure on why he is here but one thing I’m sure of—that is I feel happy to see him..
I grab my sweatshirt and make my way outside our house.. I feel awkward as I make a step closer to him.. I bite the end of my lip because I don’t have any idea on what to say.. Good thing he is a guy who’s good at initiating conversations..
“Busy packing?” he asked but his gazing straight at our gate..
“Done with it..” I simply answered..
I can see him cast a smile.. “Well, I came to see you personally since I can’t see you off tomorrow.” He said.
I instantly give him a look “Huh?” .. It’s not like I am still hoping for him to see me off but to hear it coming from him really is very disappointing..
“My mere presence might make you break down from crying at the airport..” he jokingly said.
“Yeah right..” I answer with sarcasm then I look away from him..
He again smiles but didn’t utter a word..
“Slater”, I called for his name after a moment of silence..
He didn’t respond but I know he’s listening and he’s just waiting for me to say whatever it is.
“About the council ----“ he cut me off before I finish my words..
“Listen...” he uttered seriously and he turns to face me... He put his hand inside his pocket and grab something in there.. Then he shows me the bracelet I gave him during our first monthsary.. “remember this?, he asked.
I nod..
“Remember what I said about this.?” He again asked..
I can clearly remember it but I didn’t respond..
“I said that I will always be having this with me unless I don’t cherish it anymore..” he reminded me..
I just nod then smile..
“Tin..... I want you to go.. Go and find yourself.. Go and accomplish whatever is there to accomplish.. The thing about the council, don’t worry about it, I can handle it alone.. For now, I only want you to take this opportunity and make the most out of it..” he said with so much gentleness..
Slater’s words never fail to encourage someone.. His words. His words really inspires people and I’m one of those lucky ones....
“Let’s break up Tin..” he said formally..
I step back from him, “Are you telling me to break up with you just right after telling me those encouraging words..” I complained like a child..
He smirks, “Let’s break up.. I want you to focus more on your career and not be distracted by anything.” He taps my shoulder then he step inside his car..
“Aaahh Seriously??!” with much protest.
He then again shows me the bracelet, “One year won’t be that long Tin.. Come back with your dream of becoming a pro tennis player..” he said then he starts to drive his car..
I smile then wave goodbye to him.. Slater.. He only wants the best for me.. “You’re right, one year won’t be that long... I promise you that I will come back together with my dream..” I softly said.
----------------
.......................................................................AFTER A YEAR.........................................
I walk off the boarding area pulling my big trolley bag while speaking to mom at the other line, “Don’t worry mom.. I can take a taxi going home.. Then I’ll rush there for the championship.. I can make it before the fourth quarter.. I’m so excited to see Asher play so I can’t miss this one..” I said with so much excitement.. After saying bye to mom I end the call and walk straight out the airport..
To my surprise, I spot a familiar person standing outside the airport, waiting outside his car ---- Slater....
Even I’m still far from him, he give me a welcoming smile and wave at me.. I wave back at him before I walk closer to him.. As I go towards him, I notice something....... the bracelet I gave him.... The bracelet.. He is wearing it... He starts walking to meet me half way.... Half way, we stop.. face to face we look at each other.. Slater then smiles then lift up his arm to show me the bracelet.. “See? One year isn’t that long enough..” he said with a smile then he make a step closer to me.. He reach for my head, then he pulls me closer to him then he gives me a hug....
Once again, I felt how warm Slater can be... How peaceful it is to be near him.... I close my eyes and hug him back.... then he plants a kiss on my forehead.... "I waited, just as what I promised with the bracelet"..
Concealed Feelings by: MystWrites
Since it’s hard to read Slater’s mind and it’s really hard to understand his actions towards Tin and Divine, I decided to make my own perception regarding it...
“Concealed Feelings”
Among all the housemates, Divine’s the closest housemate to me ever since our “looban” days... During our first days in PBB, I’m most comfortable around her maybe because she considers herself a part of the third sex.. Having a person who can both understand the two genders neutrally is like talking to a transparent person when it comes to gender topics.. And for me, she’s like a sister if not a best friend.. Since are closeness is that obvious, most of our housemates came to misunderstood our friendly relationship thinking that it is more than being friends, crossing the borderline of being mutually attracted to each other.... If you’d ask me, yeah, Divine has some qualities that I’m looking for a girl but even if there would be a chance, I don’t really think so..
Aside from Divine and Carlo, there is this one particular housemate that I’m also close to.... We weren’t really that much close when we were in our first days in “looban”.. Yes, we did converse but not really had such an intimate discussions... Slowly, we developed that kind of soothing feeling around each other that gradually developed into friendship.... Because of her extrovert and friendly personality it made it easier for me to bond with her despite of the fact that she’s the daughter of the one and only basketball legend, Alvin Patrimonio.. Yes, it was sort of awkward talking to her since she belongs to a well known family but it was never a barrier for us to become friends..
The more I get to know her and the more I get to be with her, makes me learn to admire everything about her.. It wasn’t an attraction at first sight but a feeling that gradually developed over time which I think is a feeling that is more sincere....
The funny thing is.......... I couldn’t stop teasing her and I will always find a way just to make fun of her.. Also, maybe because I’ve been trying to hide my feelings for her so I unconsciously always speaks out her name.. Calling for her.. Always, “TinTin you like... Where’s Tin?....... Tin Tin...”, like I couldn’t live a day without saying her name nor teasing her.. Funny but true!
Unfortunately, I am not the only one who admires Tin.. First is Biggle, who vocally admitted his admiration towards her in front of all of us.. Then Seichi, who held back since he knew that Biggle likes Tin.. Also, Carlo and Jericho, they never verbally admitted anything but looking at how they treat Tin, as a guy I could tell that they are somewhat attracted to her.. Oh boy, she’s a certified boy magnet..
Having many guys admire her is fine with me but when I learned that she has this huge “puppy crush” for Kevin, just like what Seichi did, I decided to hold back whatever feelings I have for her.. Continuing to admire her will do but not confessing it to her..
Every time she’s being teased to Kevin, sure I want to cover up my ears just not to hear them.. Seeing her being “kilig” and everything really makes me feel so jealous but I continued to pretend as if I am not at all affected, I even joined the other housemates on teasing Tin to Kevin..
The merging of two teams after Intensity 7 came didn’t really give me the happy feeling.. Kevin... Tin... and I.. in one house... Not a good idea at all.... Utang na loob Big Brother!! Well, I guess I just have to bear with it..
Then here came the “I Never Did and Dare Game” where Kevin had to kiss Tin on the lips.. Seriously, on the LIPS??? What on earth!! I really want to grab her away from him during that time.... When Kevin’s turn to do a dare, Paco immediately shouted “kay Tin... kay Tin”... I knew this guy is up to something again so before he could think of the idea of daring Kevin to do something that much intimate with Tin like kissing or what, I instantly came up with the idea of “Smelling her neck”.... phew... Good thing they agreed with it.
After the party, here came Paco again.. “Tin Tin, good night daw sabi ni Kevin..” then Pamu “good night kiss daw sabi ni Kevin”.... Sure, he did help a lot to have Divine, Deniesse and Joya make it to top 14 and I really respect him for that but seriously.... Can you stop that “Kevin-Tin” stuff??!!! and Pamu please, having Paco being the bridge of Kevin and Tin is fine enough so don’t involve yourself.. What really made me felt jealous was when Tin said “sige mamaya”.. So you’re really planning to give Kevin another kiss, huh??!! I tried to cover up my jealousy so I just have to shout it out “Toothbrush na ako.. kasi si Eting nagtotoothbrush na... Toothbrush na ako...!”.. Yeah, like a jealous highschooler... J
The next morning, since I’m still affected on what happened on last night’s party, I tried to avoid Tin.... And I also noticed that she’s doing the same thing.. You can call it “Dead ma mode”!!
But then.. I couldn’t really stop but to notice her so we’re back with our old usual routine ---- asaran, kulitan...
TEASER (SLATIN-ECO FANFIC) by: TinisLOVE

“Mahal kita, kahit anong mangyari di kita sasaktan. Pangako.”
“Akala ko ba mahal ka niya?Akala ko di ka niya sasaktan. Ayoko kaseng nakikita kang umiiyak. He’s not worth your tears.”
“Akala ko siya na. I’ve been guarding my feelings kase ayokong masaktan. Pero wala ring saysay, minahal ko siya nasaktan ako. Ngayon di ko na alam kung kaya ko pang magmahal uli.”
INTRO: MAHAL KITA, MANIWALA KA SLATIN-ECO FANFICTION
Si Jerico ang unang lalaking minahal ni Tin. Akala niya hindi siya sasaktan nito, all along akala niya poprotektahan siya nito pero mas pinili ng lalaking balikan ang unang babae sa buhay nito. Naiwan siya, nasaktan and she was left with no choice but to make a promise at yun ay ang hindi na siya iibig pang muli. Unfortunately,mapaglaro talaga ang tadhana. Si Slater- Tin had known the guy since childhood. He’s the brother she never had. Laging nandyan ito para sa kanya, nakahandang protektahan siya. Unti-unti she found herself falling inlove for the 2nd time. Falling inlove with Slater. Pero alam niyang kapatid lang ang turing nito sa kanya. Ayaw niyang masaktan sa pangalawang pagkakataon kaya pinilit niyang itago ang nararamdaman para dito. Hanggang kailan kaya niya kayang itago ang nararamdaman? Paano kung may iba na pala itong mahal? Kakayanin kaya niyang masaktan uli sa pangalawang pagkakataon?
CHAPTER 1: Mahal Kita, Maniwala Ka
“If only you saw what I can see, you’ll understand why I want you so desperately. Right now I’m looking at you and I can’t believe, you don’t know oh oh! You don’t know you’re beautiful and that's what makes you beautiful. Goodmorning beautiful Christine!” bungad ni Jerico kay Tin.
“Ay nako Jerico tigil-tigilan mo ang pangungulit sa’kin. Ayokong masira araw ko.”
“ Tin naman. Halos 5 months na akong nanliligaw sa’yo. Kailan mo ako balak sagutin?”
“Pag puti na ang uwak.” Pagsusungit pa ni Tin pero ang totoo kinikilig na rin siya sa mga gestures at hirit nito. Unti-unti ng nabubuwag ang depensa na binuo niya laban sa kung anumang pwedeng maramdaman niya para dito.
Classmate niya since first year college si Jerico pero 4th year na lang sila naging close hanggang sa ligawan na nga siya nito.
“Tin, sige bukas dadalhan kita ng puting uwak, ok ba yun? Sasagutin mo na ako?”
“Jerico pwede ba? Gusto ko ng kapayapaan utang na loob tantanan mo ako!”
“Tin, hindi pwede. Ayokong mawala ka sa paningin ko because a girl like you is impossible to find kaya please forgive me I can’t stop loving you.”
“ Ang kulit mo talaga Jerico. Diyan ka na nga!” sabi ni Tin sabay tayo sa kinauupuang bench. Umupo siya dun dahil vacant pa nila at sumunod naman si Jerico sa kanya.
“Mahal lang talaga kita kaya kahit bastedin mo ako nang paulit ulit , mahal pa rin kita.”
“Ewan ko sa’yo!” at tuluyan na siyang naglakad palayo dito. Hindi naman na ito sumunod pa.
….“Aray!” sambit ni Tin nang may nakabangga
“Ay sorry miss! Sorry talaga!”
“Di kase nag iingat!Teka? Naman oh! Kuya Janjan ikaw lang pala! Anubaah!” ani Tin nang makilala ang nakabangga.
“Tintin? Ay ako pa may kasalanan? Sino kaya naglalakad ng mabilis?”
“Ako na! Ako na. Pero sino kaya ang di nakatingin sa nilalakaran?”
“Teka ha? Ba’t ka ba kase nagmamadali? Tinatakasan mo na naman si Jerico noh?”
“Tse! Nakakainis ka. Mang aasar ka pa talaga eh noh?”
BFF ang mga magulang nina Tin at Slater at dahil nga magkakaibigan ang mga ito ay magkakatabi rin ang mga tahanan nila. Halos magkapatid na ang dalawa dahil pareho ring only child. At dahil narin sa pagiging magkaibigan ng mga magulang nila,gusto ng mga ito na parati silang magkasama para mabantayan nila ang isa’t-isa. Hanggang sa magcollege ay magkasama pa rin sila. 4th si Tin sa kursong Masscom samantalang nasa 5th year si Slater sa kursong engineering
“Sus! Di naman pang-aasar yun. Si Jerico na naman pala. Ang cool kaya niya, sagutin mo na kase.”
“Heh! Eh di kayo na lang.”
“Ang weird mo talaga!”
"Tse! Diyan ka na nga rin!"
CHAPTER 2: Mahal Kita, Maniwala Ka
“Nakikiusap ako sa’yo, nagmamakaawa. Kunin mo na ang lahat sa akin wag lang siya.” Pagkanta ni Jerico sa harap ni Tin. Hapon na at walang klase ng mga oras na iyon
“I’m telling you Jerico, hindi umeepekto yang pagpapacute mo.”
“Kumakanta lang naman ako ah. Wala akong ibang ginagawa.”
“Hay nako naman! Nakakalurkey ka Jerico.”
“Ako’y baliw sa iyo..” Hirit pa ni Jerico
“Hi Jerico!” bati ni Jessica. Classmate din nila. Matagal ng napapansin ni Tin na nagpapacute ito kay Jerico kahit may boyfriend na.
“Oh hi Jess!” sagot ni Jerico ditto with matching smile pa. Inis na tinalikuran ni Tin ang dalawa at naglakad na papunta sa gym. May practice kase siya. Tennis player siya ng school nila at pinanlalaban sa mga competition. Pareho silang tennis player din ni Slater.
“Ang landi! Sabi niya ako lang daw tapos nagpapacute din pala sa iba! Hmpp!”
“Uyy, narinig ko yun. Nagseselos ka noh?” ani ni Eco kay Tin na narinig pala ang sinabi niya.
“Hindi ah! Wag ka feeler!”
“Hmm. Sige! Sabi mo eh!”
“At ano naman yang ginagawa mo?” tanong ni Tin
“Tinutulungan ka. Ang bigat kase ng dala mo eh. Ayokong nahihirapan ka. Tara na sa gym, may practice ka pa.” sabi ni Jerico sabay buhat sa bag na dala niya
“Salamat.” nasambit na lamang ni Tin dahil natouch siya sa ginawa nito.
“Ikaw pa! Alam mo namang malakas ka sakin eh.”Ngiti na lamang ang naisukli niya dito. Hinayaan na lamang niyang gawin ni Jerico ang gusto nitong gawin.
“Uy, iniisip mo kung kailan mo ako sasagutin noh?”
“Heh! Tumigil ka nga!”
“Ayiie. Kunwari pa ang prinsesa ko.”
“Tse! Magpapractice na ako!”
“Sige, dito lang muna ako.”
“Bahala ka.”
CHAPTER 3: Mahal Kita, Maniwala Ka
“Tintin! Late ka! Kanina ka pa namin hinihintay.” Salubong ni Slater kay Tin
“Eh pano kase Kuya, ang kulit ni Jerico sobra!” himutok ni Tin
“Eh ba’t kase di mo pa sagutin yung tao? Okay naman siya. Gwapo, mukhang disente, mukhang mabait. Mayaman din ata.”
“Ayoko pa nga.”
“Pero may pag-asa ba siya sa’yo?”
“Yun nga ang problema eh. Unti-unti na niyang nabubuwag ang depensa ko. Naiinlove na ata ako sa kanya.”
“Eh ba’t di mo pa sagutin?”
“Ayokong masaktan. Di pa ako handa.”
“Pag nagmahal ka, masasaktan at masasaktan ka talaga.” Ani Slater kay Tin
“Pero kahit na. I’m not yet ready Kuya.”
“Kung mahal mo, magririsk kang masaktan.”
“Ewan ko.”
“Hay nako. Christine, you need to grow up. Kasalanan ko din siguro. Masyado kang protektado.”
“I’m thankful talaga na nandyan ka lagi for me. Thank you talaga Kuya ha?”
“No problem. Ikaw pa rin ang baby girl ko.”
“Kuya naman! Di na ako bata.”
“Oo na. Pwedeng pwede ka na ngang mag-asawa eh.”
“MagkaBF nga di pa ready, asawa pa kaya?”
“Tin, as I’ve said you need to grow up.”
“I know.”
“Basta tandaan mo, kahit anong mangyari nandito lang ako lagi for you ok?”
“Thanks Kuya Jan.”
CHAPTER 4: Mahal Kita, Maniwala Ka
Chapter 4
“Kuya Jan, pag ba inlove anong feeling?” tanong ni Tin kay Slater. Walang pasok ng araw na iyon kaya magkasama na naman sila.
“Hmm. Kakaiba. Yung tipong pag hindi mo siya kasama hindi ka mapapanatag. Hindi ka lubos na Masaya pag di mo siya nakikita. Bakit?Nafeel mo na ba yan kay Jerico? Tuluyan ka na bang naiinlove?”
“Eh parang ganon na nga. Kase pag di niya ako kinukulit, namimiss ko siya. Yung di buo ang araw ko pag hindi ko siya nakikita.”
“Tanungin mo ang puso mo. Kung ano ang sinasabi ng puso mo yun ang sagot. Yun ang dapat mong sundin.”
“Wow! May alam ka palang ganyan Kuya! Saan mo nahukay yan? Ang lalim! Ibang level! Ikaw na! Ika na talaga!” bigla ay binago ni Tin ang takbo ng usapan. Ang kanina’y seryoso ay nauwi sa pang aasar niya. Nakagawian na nilang dalawa ang mag-asaran pag magkasama sila. Parang mga bata pa rin sila pag ginagawa nila yun.
“Nagtatanong ka, sinagot lang kita. Di mo maappreaciate tapos mang aasar ka pa.” ani ni Slater na nasa tinig ang pagtatampo.
“’To naman, ang sensitive. Joke lang naman eh.”
“Yeah, right. “ sarkastikong sabi ni Slater sabay tayo
“Uy kuya!Kuya Jan saan ka pupunta?”
“Diyan lang.”
“Kuya naman eh. Parang di ka sanay sa asaran. Ako nga kahit pikon na hindi ako nagwawalk out kahit di ko na talaga gusto yung pang aasar mo minsan.”
“No, Wala yun. May pupuntahan lang ako. Babalik din ako mamaya. Dadalhan na lang kita ng pasalubong.” Ani Slater
“Ok.” Sabi na lamang ni Tin.
….
“Tin, r u free tonyt? May gig ako. Want you to watch.” – text ni Jerico kay Tin. Part ng isang band si Jerico. Kaya minsan sumasama rin ito sa mga gigs lalo na pag walang pasok.
“Huh?Kulit mo talaga ever.”- reply ni Tin
“Sige na, my princess. Minsan lang ako magyaya eh. ”
“K, fine.”
“Punta ka?Yey.”
“Oo na. Kulit.”
“Aww. Will pick you up at 8. I Love you. See you.”
“K. See you.”
Hindi maitago ni Tin ang ngiti at kilig sa nabasang text ni Jerico. Inlove na nga ata siya dito. Mukhang handa na rin siyang sumugal. Handa na siyang magmahal sa unang pagkakataon.
“Ma, ininvite po ako ni Jerico na manood ng gig niya mamaya. Ok lang po ba sumama?”
“Oo naman anak. Isama mo si Kuya Janjan mo para may bantay ka mamaya.”
“Ma naman. Susunduin po ako ni Jerico, wag na po natin abalahin si Kuya Jan.”
“Sure bang aalagaan ka ng Jerico na yan?”
“Oo naman ma. Saka hindi naman sa lahat ng panahon nandyan si Kuya Jan para bantayan ako eh.”
“O sige sige. I trust you. Basta alagaan mo self mo ha?Text mo ako if anything happens at nang mapasundo kita kay Slater.”
“Ma naman.”
“Ah basta, it’s for your safety naman baby girl.”
“Ma, ginagawa nyo lagi akong bata.”
“Anak, nag iisa ka lang all I want is the best for you.”
“Aww. I love you ma.”
“I love you anak. O siya, maghanda ka na.”
“Thanks ma.”
…
“My princess, u ready? Im on my way na.”
“Ok. I’m ready.”

Slater Young says he is not the controlling type of boyfriend by: Rhea Manila Santos
After his acting debut on Kapamilya hit shows like Eboy and Banana Split, Slater Young admitted that he is confident about trying out his luck in show business. The 24-year-old Cebuano said he is also totally focused on work right now because he has loveless for some time now.
Contrary to the rumors, Slater clarified that he did not end his last relationship just before he joined Pinoy Big Brother. “It’s been almost a year na wala akong girlfriend. I broke up with her three months before entering PBB for different reasons. Hindi ko alam kung saan yan nag-start na rumor na may girlfriend ako nung pumasok. Wala talaga,” he said.
Despite coming from a conservative Chinese upbringing, Slater said his family has never interfered in his personal life. “No, actually sobrang free kami to decide on what we want, even when it comes to dating. From them it’s more of suggestions lang na for example, they wanted me to continue sa business namin before. Nung nag-decide ako mag-try sa showbiz, ang dad ko sobrang supportive na sige, if you really want to try it then try it. But if you want to come back, andito pa rin kami,” he said.
Slater said this kind of understanding from his family extends to his choice to pursue showbiz full-time. “Siyempre I expected naman na hindi sila magiging all for it talaga pero nung in-explain ko sa dad ko, sabi niya naiintindihan niya. Siyempre conservative yung family namin, alam din ng mom ko yung mga issues at conflicts na hinaharap sa showbiz life so medyo concerned lang din siya dun,” he said.
Slater admitted he has had four serious relationships already and said he is open to getting into another relationship but not right now. “Kung merong prospect pero sa tingin ko not yet. I’m too busy and I think I have to take care of myself first muna,” he told Push.com.ph.
The handsome Cebuano said he is not the controlling type of boyfriend. “I’m conservative pero hindi ko sila sinasabihan kung anong dapat suotin kasi the type of girl I like is simple so hindi ko puwede sabihin na gusto ko itong girl pero ayaw ko yung sinusuot niya, dapat ganito ka. Yung parang may iibahin ka pa sa kanya,” he explained.
When it comes to girls and dating, Slater admitted he can be very choosy. “Yes I dated a lot kasi sa tingin ko mapili ako (laughs). I dated a lot just to find… kasi at that time hindi ko pa alam kung ano yung gusto ko sa babae, ano yung gusto ko na type of girl. I think right now medyo alam ko na ano yugn bagay sa personality ko,” he said.
When asked about his “ligaw style,” Slater said he feels like he doesn’t have to be too showy when trying to win over the girl he is courting. “Ano lang, parang palagi kaming magkasama and then I know then that she likes me and I like her too so it should be more than just that,” he said. Even his choice of date spots in Cebu is unconventional. “Gusto ko yung mga hindi nakakasanayang mga restaurants or yung hindi typical. So usually pumupunta kami sa mga public na parks and yung hiking, trekking, ganun,” he admitted.

Slater Young is PBB Unlimited Edition Big Winner by: Patty Ramirez
It was awesome celebration at the Quirino Grandstand as Pinoy Big Brother Unlimited Edition marked the end of the season by hailing its Big Winner, Slater Young. After staying inside the PBB house, Slater bested 32 other housemates and gathered 40.02% of the total votes in the Big Four race.

Annielie “Pamu” Pamorada got placed second with a total of 29.44% of votes while Joseph Biggel got a close 21.31% of the votes. Paco Evangelista, who was turned into a house player by Big Brother came in at 4th with 17.10% of the votes.

PBB ex-housemate Tin Patrimonio wants to try showbiz by: Bernie Franco
Handa raw si Tin Patrimonio, dating housemate sa Pinoy Big Brother Unlimited Edition na pasukin ang showbiz. Paliwanag ng dalaga sa The Buzz, ito rin daw ang kanyang paraan para makilala ng hindi lamang bilang anak ng sikat na basketbolistang si Alvin Patrimonio. “I want to make a name for myself naman, not only (as the) Captain’s daughter,” ani Tin.
Nilinaw din ni Tin ang issue tungkol sa mga fellow housemates na nali-link sa kanya, kagaya na lang ni Joseph Biggel. Marami raw kasi ang nagalit sa kanya paglabas ng bahay dahil daw hindi maganda ang pakikitungo ni Tin kay Biggel na vocal sa pagsasabing may crush ito sa kanya. Pero paglilinaw niya, magkaibigan sila ni Biggel at nagkakaintindihan sila pagdating sa bagay na iyon. “Nung paglabas ko andaming nagsabing, ‘Ang sama mo naman kay Biggel.’ Pero alam naman ni Biggel na kulitan namin ‘yon, asaran din kami, but at the end friends kami ni Biggel.” Aniya, inimbitahan na rin daw niya si Biggel sa kanilang bahay at nagkaroon ng oras para makipagkuwentuhan sa family ni Tin.
Samantala, nangiti naman ang dalaga nang tanungin kung may crush din ba siya kay Slater Young, ang hinirang na Big Winner sa katatapos na PBB Unlimited. “Pwede rin,” natatawang sagot ni Tin at idinagdag na crush niya si Slater sa loob ng bahay dahil matalino raw ito at mabait.
Na-link din sa kanya ang isa pang housemate, si Carlo Romero pero sinabi ni Tin na naging very close lang sila ng binata. Pagdating naman sa showbiz, sinabi ni Tin na gusto niyang makatrabaho sina Sam Milby at Jake Cuenca.
Bukod pa rito, balak raw ni Tin na subukan ang maging kandidata sa Binibining Pilipinas after three years. Aniya kailangan pa kasi niyang i-improve ang kanyang pagsasalita at paglalakad.
Malaki raw ang naitulong ng PBB kay Tin pero kung mabibigyan man uli ng pagkakataon ay hindi na niya gugustuhing ulitin ito. “Grabe ang experience ko sa bahay ni Kuya talaga. ‘Di ko na uulitin. Ang hirap kasi with everything. ‘Di mo makikita ‘yung outside world, ‘yung family mo friends, ‘yung hang outs mo with friends kasi outgoing din ako with family and friends,” kuwento niya.
Sa ngayon dapat ay maghahanda si Tin para sa SEA Games or Southeast Asian Games bilang tennis player subalit maisasantabi na ito kung papasok siya sa showbiz. Gayunpaman, sinabi niya na maaari pa rin niya itong balikan at tuparin ang pangarap na makapaglaro sa international competition.
Slater Young says he feels more pressure now after winning Pinoy Big Brother by: Gian Carlo Vizcarra
Slater Young, Big Winner of the latest season of ABS-CBN’s Pinoy Big Brother (PBB), bested almost 40 tenants of the most famous house in the country. He says, “I know being in showbiz is so much harder than what I have been through inside Kuya’s house, but I am willing to give my all to this dream [of joining showbiz].”
HIS FATHER'S SON. He adds that before entering Kuya's house, his mom reminded him: "You are your father’s son.”
This served as inspiration, motivation and reminder for him.
Described as being good-natured and a gentleman, many housemates were smitten by Slater’s charms.
He considers, however, Tin, daughter of cager Alvin Patrimonio, and Divine, tattoo artist and proud lesbian, closest to him.
Was there a time when he felt he was falling in love with a housemate?
“For Tin, siguro crush. Ganun. But it never developed into something more than that inside the house,” says Slater.
“However, now that we are outside the PBB house, anything is possible. For now, I hope we all remain close friends.”
