"Seriously, bub. Nakakahiya!" I am currently pacing back and forth in my office while telling Dee about what happened the other day in his condo. He came from work saying it was his break so he decided to eat lunch with me here in the atelier. "Bakit ngayon mo lang ito sinasabi sa akin?" He sat down on the seat in front of my desk and laughed at me. "I was ashamed, okay? I really thought you were cheating on me. I had a free schedule in the afternoon so I took the chance to cook for you and surprise you then I see you kissing Berniece's forehead in front of your condo. What do you think will I feel? Hindi ko naman naisip na kamag-anak mo yun dahil alam ko wala ka namang kapatid na ba-" I stopped talking when I suddenly felt arms encircling around me. It was Dee hugging me from behind.

"Dani, baba na! Andito na sundo natin!"I immediately grabbed the nearest clothing I got from my closet and wore it on myself when I heard Lili shouting. Papunta kami ngayon ni Dee sa Greenbelt to check on the Suarez Label branch there at balak naming mag date pagkatapos. And if you're wondering why Lili is coming with us is because she overheard me talking to Dee on the phone the other day about going to Greenbelt. She asked Dee if he could give her a ride to FEU. Back to school na rin kasi siya bukas kaya pupunta na siya ng Manila ngayon para linisin ang dorm niya. Pumayag nalang rin akong isabay siya dahil marami siyang dalang bag na puno ng kaniyang mga damit. Ayoko namang mahirapan pa siyang mag commute ngayon lalo na't pagabi na.I

"Miss, may stock pa po ba kayo nito?" tanong ko sa sales lady. Andito ako ngayon sa SM Aura dahil naghahabol akong mamili ng mga ireregalo ko sa mga kaibigan ko. I haven't found time to buy gifts because of my hectic schedule so I reserved this day for shopping. Magkakaroon kasi kaming magkakaibigan ng Christmas party sa bahay ko this weekend at mukhang balak pa nilang mag overnight doon. Most of them will spend the holidays with their family so we planned this party five days before Christmas. Anais will go to Paris while Dee will go to the US. In my case, I'll be saving money first before I go on a trip. I just bought Lili a new backpack from Anello. Worn out na rin kasi ang kaniyang bag na matagal na niyang ginagamit dahil puno ito palagi ng mga makakapal na libro. "Ito po ma'am,” inab

"Ilang views na?" tanong ni Anais sakin. Nakadapa siya sa massage table habang ako naman ay nagpapalinis ng kuko. Andito kami ngayon sa spa. The charity ball is tomorrow so we're making this day our relaxation and pamper day."Yo...100 freaking k views!” sigaw ko sa kaniya.Napabalikwas siya ng bangon. Halos matamaan na niya yung masahista. "HOLY SHIT! IS THAT FOR REAL?" she asked, amused."Yes, it is! Grabe ahh last month ka lang nag start ng youtube pero trending ka na agad. You should really thank me,” I said while picking out a design for my acrylic nails."Oo na, thank you. Well, if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be able t

"Ang tagal naman ng boyfriend mo! It's so hot na here!" reklamo ni Anais kay Lili. Nandito kami ngayon nila Anais at Lili sa tapat ng arch ng UST habang hinihintay lumabas si Blaze. Mga limang minuto palang kaming andito pero panay reklamo na ni Anais. Palubog na nga ang araw eh init na init parin. "First of all, di ko pa siya jowa. Second, kakarating lang natin dito, natatagalan ka na. Third, tanggalin mo yang jacket mo para di ka mainitan,” sumbat ni Lili. Parang mas matanda itong attitude ni Lili kesa kay Anais. Yung pagka-seryoso niya sa studies niya nadadala niya sa amin. Si Anais naman ang childish minsan. "Ang hater mo!" Anais said while crossing her arms and pouting her mouth.

Monday nanaman at andito na ako sa atelier. Today's a busy day because House of Suarez opened its doors for new designer interns. The dean from Benilde contacted me the other day and asked if I could accommodate some of their 4th year BA Fashion Design and Merchandising students for an internship in my atelier. I immediately approved because of course, it was my alma mater and this will be another milestone for our brand. And who knows? Baka gusto rin magtrabaho ng mga interns dito after they graduate. Since House of Suarez's reach has been expanding, I decided I will create my own design team to lessen my workload and to help me curate new eye-catching pieces."Ma'am, andito na po yung mga interns.""Ok, Faye. I'll be out in a minute."
