Cariñosa

Well I can't believe I would eat here again but this time... Without my parents.... Not me as Felice but as Felicia...

"Um... Hey Kuya"

"Hm?"

"Since I'm your sister... Tell me what are my-"

"Your Favorites? Sure"

Which one should I ask first? Food!

"What's my favorite food?"

"Food? It's what you're eating right now and this is what we mostly order everytime we dine in here"

Well Felicia and I have something in common... But then, why is that this dinner with him is familiar? Am I sharing memories with Felicia? But before I died I've been having this things...

I really need my Dream Journal!

"Uhm Kuya... I just wanna ask if can you bring me to St. Thomas University tomorrow morning?"

"St. Thomas University? What for?"

"I will just get something important"

"Alright... Since we're done with our meal, maybe we should go home... What do you think?"

Home...

Well I can't just runaway right now and I don't have money or anything right now and I don't even know what's the lifestyle of Felicia since I'm in her body...

"Yeah... Let's go home..."

As we arrived home, I knew in the first place that the Mansion was in the middle of the woods and actually it is! And I'm not expecting this Mansion to be bigger than what I usually saw on Movies.

Though this is my first time to see or get in a big Mansion but not as myself Felice.

I headed directly to my room and ever since I woke up in here Everything is familiar and I knew everything in this place already.

"*Sighs* It's been a long day for me"

A different long day I use to have than before...

I'm sorry Mom if I didn't make it home tonight...

Maybe I should go take a shower before I sleep.

I supposed this is Felicia's Night dress... And she have plenty of dresses, but the dress that I'm wearing when I woke up is familiar to me...

I'm tired I just wanna go to sleep...

*Traditional Music Playing*

Everyone is Chatting happily, This is said to be the Grand Birth Celebration of Don Delfino who's known to be the Governor General.

"Hinihimok ko Ang iba na sumali sa pagsayaw Ng Cariñosa bilang handog sa ating Gobernador Heneral"

I'm encouraging others to join the dance of Cariñosa as a present to our Governor Heneral

*Cariñosa is a Philippine dance of colonial era origin from the Maria Clara suite of Philippine folk dances, where the fan or handkerchief plays a instrumental role as it places the couple in romance scenario.

The Dancers proceed to the middle to prepare for the dance and some joined them as expected.

"Maaari ba kitang maisayaw Binibini?"

May I dance with you my lady?

"Ako ba ang inyong kinakausap?"

Are you talking to me?

"Oo, Ikaw ang kinakausap ko Binibini"

yes, I'm talking to you my lady.

"Paumanhin, Hindi ako mahusay sumayaw ng Cariñosa maaari mong isayaw Ang asking kaibigan, na si Belinda"

Pardon, I'm not good at dancing Cariñosa you can take my friend Belinda instead.

Please agree Belinda!

"Paumanhin ngunit Hindi ko nais sumayaw Binibining Felicia. Mas mabuti Kung si Binibining Felicia ang inyong isama sa pagsayaw Ginoong Antonio dahil siya ay mahusay sa pagsayaw ng Cariñosa"

Sorry but I do not want to perform Miss Felicia. It would be better if it's Miss Felicia you'll accompany to the dance Sir Antonio for she is good at performing Cariñosa.

"Pero sinabi niya na-"

But she said that-.

"Maniwala po kayo sa akin Ginoong Antonio, Mahusay sa pagsayaw ang Binibini at malapit na ring magsimula ang sayaw "

Trust me Sir Antonio, My lady is good at dancing and the dance is about to start.

Antonio didn't hesitate to drag me to the Middle and we position ourselves on the last row.

"Kailangan ba talaga akong hilain papunta rito Ginoong Antonio?"

Do you really need me to be pulled here Mister Antonio?

"Kung gayon... Ako ay inyong pagpaumanhin Binibini"

Well then... I apologise my lady.

As the music plays, We started to dance gracefully while looking to Antonio's brown eyes.

I need to keep myself focused dancing... I don't wanna ruin the performance just because of being distracted by Antonio.

As the music end and applause approaches.

"Mahusay ka ngang sumayaw Binibini at Salamat sa pagsama mo sa akin sa sayaw na Ito"

You really are great at dancing my lady and thanks for accompanying me to this dance.

"Hindi mo na ako kailangan pasalamatan pa Antonio"

You don't have to thank me Antonio.

"Maraming Salamat sa inyong magandang presentasyon at may nais sabihin ang ating Gobernador Heneral"

Thank you for your wonderful Presentation and Our Governor General have something to say.

A big brave man stood on the stage confidently. Basing on his looks you can see how confident and brave of him and you can see himself as a Governor Heneral of Spain.

"¡Hola a todos! Quería agradecerles a todos por venir a mi celebración y esta noche, ¡Celebraremos mi cumpleaños y a mí representando al Rey de España!"

Hello Everyone! I wanted to thank you all for coming to my celebration and tonight, We will celebrate my birthday and me representing the King of Spain!

*Applause*

And the traditional music started to play again as a continuation of the celebration.

"Felicia! Napakahusay mo kanina Binibini"

Felicia! You were so good lady"

"¡Gracias Señor! Kamusta pala ang inyong Negosyo Don Martino?"

Thank you Sir! How's your business going Mr. Martin?

"¡Nuestro negocio está muy bien y gracias por preguntar al respecto!"

Our business is doing great and thank you for asking about it!

"¡*No Problema Don Martino! Nasaan nga pala si-"

No Problem Mr. Martin! Where is*-"

"¡Hola Martino mi Amigo!"

Hello Martino my friend!

"¡Hola Delfino mi amigo! ¡Feliz cumpleaños y felicidades por ser el gobernador general!"

Hello Delfino my friend! Happy birthday and congratulations for being the governor general!

As I was staring at Don Delfino admiring how he stood with dignity unexpecting Don Delfino to see me looking at him. He smiled when he caught me looking at him.

"¡Hola Felicia!"

"¡Hola don delfino ¡Feliz cumpleaños y felicidades también por ser el gobernador general! También perdóname"

Hello Don Delfino! Happy birthday and Congratulations also for being the Governor general! Also pardon me.

I thought of getting some fresh air and to be alone for a moment so I headed straight to the balcony.

You can see how wide is the garden of Don Delfino from the balcony.

"Bakit ka naparito Binibini?"

Why did you went here My lady?

"Nais ko lamang magpahangin at bakit din ikaw nandidito Antonio?"

I wanted to get some fresh air and why are you here Antonio?

"Nakita kitang pumunta rito Kaya naisipan kong puntahan ka"

I saw you went here and I thought of following you.

"Nakakaagaw Ng tingin Ang Hardin ni Don Delfino, sapagkat ito ay napakaganda"
