Busted.

Going to Ayala was always fun. I get to escape from my nagging parents,spend time with my barkada and my boyfriend. But even though I was there for fun, I always knew my limitations. I knew when to go home early and when to stop in a prank. But this day I went too far.

It started with the usual "buotan mode". You know, the part where you like do chores and stuff so that mom and dad could like let you go on that last laag of the summer. And then when my parents finally agreed to let me go on the laag, I was so ecstatic. I even lied that we were all girls. That was one big mistake. And so NJ and me planned to meet up in Lourdes so that we could ride a jeep going to Ayala. Once we were in Ayala, we met up with Margaux,Maxene,Marc,Anton,Dawn,Trixie,Tricia,Karla and Stephanie. We had a lot of fun playing Truth or Dare and singing in the karaoke. Amidst all the fun and excitement,I forgot to text my parents. I also didn't realize that my cellphone was already low bat. Stupid Motorola batteries. And so I ended up going home late. I arrived home at 7:30. What a scene happened when I reached home. My mother knew I lied. She shouted at me and her rage was like WHOA. I couldn't speak. I just cried my eyes out. What hit me most is that she said she trusted me---A LOT. And that I broke her trust. My dad even said that NJ and my Barkada were a bad influence.

But you know,despite all the shouts and cries,the fault still comes down to me. If I hadn't lied, I wouldn't have broken my parents' trust. If I had bothered to communicate with them at all, I would not have been stripped of my cellphone privileges. It's not NJ's or my Barkada's fault that I got scolded, it was mine. Well, I guess I do deserve the "no laag" and "no cellphone" policy for now. I know that it'll take time to win their trust back again.
But I'm gonna do my best. I'm gonna win their trust no matter what it takes. And I know the time will come when they will see me as the level-headed mature girl they want me to be.
