"IM so excited!!" eksaheradang bungad ng gay bestfriend niyang si Rich.
Kararating lang nito galing sa katatapos na klase ng Fashion and Aesthetic Design course nito.
Asusual, bago na naman ang hair color nito. Every month yata ay nagpapalit ito ng hairstyle. For this month, he has chosen to color his elegant curtain style haircut blonde, making him look like a Manga character. With his slender body and straight posture you will think he is a walking male doll. He is handsome, but he will pinch someone to death if they use that word as a description for him, because he would prefer to be called glamorous, gorgeous, beautiful, pretty, lovely, etc., that suits to compliment a woman because he believes he is.
Today he is wearing a baby pink Prince's blazer with unique dark blue marble buttons that for sure one of his creations, match with basic classic polo inside and white slacks. He is also wearing these elegant white Versace loafer shoes that they bought during their European tour.
Naunang natapos ang klase nilang dalawa ng isa pa niyang bestfriend na si Sofie,
kaya naman nauna na sila sa favorite nilang tambayan na coffee shop malapit sa school nila, ang Cafè Mi Amore.Cozy ang ambiance nito, may indoor nature vibe at may kamahalan ang presyo ng mga food and drinks that elites like them can afford everyday.
It is conceptualize by a couple that happened to be one of her father's close friends. Their children are also studying in the same Academy. She knows them but not really close to call them friends.
"Sa wakas dumating din ang bakla! Grabe tinubuan na kami ng ugat dito," halatang inip na wika ni Sofie kahit nakatutok ang paningin sa magazine na kanina pang pinapaulit-ulit tignan ang mukha ng mga modelo at make-up style na ginamit sa mga ito. "Napa-chika ka na naman sa mga kumare mo noh?!" Pinaningkitan nito ng mata ang kaibigan nila nang balingan ito.
Sofie is a Cosmetology student who's in love with make-up and perfumes. Mahilig siyang mag-experiment ng ibat-ibang kulay sa mukha and she creates signature scents na talaga naman para sa kanya ay may future ito sa larangang napili. Kung siya nga ang tatanungin at papipiliin ng sariling make-up artist ay ito ang first choice niya. She is a very creative person pero simple lang ito mag-ayos sa sarili. Mas gusto kasi nitong i-apply ang talent sa iba but nevertheless she's pretty enough even without make-up.
She has a curly long brown hair, buther favorite part is her skin. She is so flawless, like a plain canvass. She only wears a light blush and lipstick, that is why she always looks fresh and young. She's not particular with her clothing, unlike Rich, who is into brands. For her, as long as she is comfortable, the brand doesn't matter, but when it comes to choosing make up and perfumes, that's a different story. Her sense of smell and color combination is superb in choice.
She has won some hair and make-up competitions before, and has plan to build her own brand in the future.
"Next week na kasi ang delivery ng mga tela para sa ancient gowns na dinesign ko for this upcoming fashion show! Mala Chinese Fantasy ang peg ng nabunot kong theme. Kaya... bongga dapat ang paandar ng bakla!" Hindi nito maitago ang excitement at bahagya pang eksaheradang ibinuka ang mga braso sa ere habang kumukutitap ang mata.
Habang siya naman ay walang karea-reaksyon at ang tanging pinag didiskitahan ay ang inorder niyang Chai latte na siyang paboritong signiture drink sa coffee shop.
It's really calming and indulging. The perfect balance of its milky and leafy bitter taste mixed with selected spices makes the flavor even more addictive.
Ramdam niyang napansin nito ang pananahimik niya.
"So what's with the silent mode? Ako lang tao dito yung totoo? Ako lang masaya para sa sarili ko ganern?! HelloOO earth?!" nakangiweng sabi nito na tila nawala ang excitement sa mukha at napairap pa sa kanilang dalawa nang makaupo.
Nilingon niya ito na blangko ang reaksyon. Hindi niya maintindihan ang sarili dahil wala talaga siya sa mood ngayong araw at lalo pa siyang nawalan ng gana nang makita ang pagmumukha ng ex niya kanina.
Another game has ended. Now she has no toy. Minsan pakiramdam niya ang sama-sama niya, kasi wala naman talaga siyang nararamdaman sa mga nakakarelasyon niya, kaya naman when they are starting to get clingy ay dinidispatya niya agad. Sometimes she wonders if she's still capable to love after all the pain that was well kept inside her heart.
Bahagya namang sabay tumaas ang dalawang kilay ng mga ito na tila inaantay ang sagot niya.
"What? I'm just not in a mood," matabang niyang sagot nang mag-angat siya ng ulo.
"Tungkol bayan sa break-up niyo ni Jake? Don't tell me affected ka?" Sofie carefully lets out the question.
She scoffs in disgust.
'Hell NO!'
"Of course not," kuno't noo niyang tugon dito. She will never waste a second to think of that guy. It's just that she feels bored and empty again.
Napakuno't din ng noo ang dalawa.
"Eh ano nga?" patuloy na kulit na tanong ng bakla.
"Nothing," napakuno't din tuloy ang noo niya. "Bakit ba ang paranoid niyong dalawa? Can't I be quiet if I don't have any thoughts in mind?" her both eyebrows furrow.
"Ay, ang taray niya oh! Anyway maiba ako... about sa fashion show, ilaline-up na kita ha?" he suddenly changed his reaction with a hoping facial expression.
"And I'll do the hair and make-up!" Sofie second the motion na bahagya pang naitas ang isang kamay.
"Ay ang bongga mo diyan friend!" tuwang-tuwang sabi ni Rich na bahagya pang nakipag-appear sa katabi at saka sabay na bumaling sa kanya.
"So are you in?" sabay din nitong tanong na parehas may kislap sa mga mata na tila ba sagot na lang niya ang hinihintay.
"Did Uno gets Katrina as his voodoo doll?" sarcastic na tanong ang ipinang-sagot niya, na para bang may malaki itong kinalaman sa magiging sagot niya.
"For sure! Alam mo naman super bestfriends ang mga yun," sagot nito na tila nabago ang mood at tamad na napasandal sa upuan habang hinahalo ang hawak na milktea.
Ito lang naman kasi ang grupo ng mga mortal nilang kaaway sa school. Si Katrina, rank 3 sa Academy's Most Popular Girl, na trying hard mag pa-sexy na super insecure sa kanya at ang baklang student designer ding katulad ni Rich na si Uno, na naging bitter sa kalahi, dahil mas pinili niya si Rich na maging kaibigan.
Sinubukan kasi nitong makipag-close sa kanya, unfortunately she doesn't like him, because she can feel the intention, instead she reach out to Rich as she saw how transparent, humble and sweet he is. Mas gusto niya kasing kasama yung mga taong magaang yung aura at hindi people pleaser. Yung tipong more on dwelling in their passion rather than seeking attention.
"Great I'm in," mabilis niyang sagot sabay simsim ng tasang hawak niya.
"Anung connect?" takang tanong ni Rich, "Oh no!" tila ba nabasa ng baklang kaibigan ang nasa utak niya. Nanlalaking mata itong tumingin sa kanya.
She can't help smirking when a new excitement builds up inside her.
"Don't tell me... may binabalak kang masama?" may pangambang gumuhit sa mukha nito.
"What?" natatawang sabi niya dahil sa reaksyon sa mukha ng mga ito.
Kilala siya ng mga ito. She can be wicked whenever she wants to and no one can stop her. "You guys really think I'm that pathetic?" napapalatak niyang sabi.
"Not really... pero alam naman naming kung anong atraso sayo ng Katrinang yan," paliwanag ni Sofie.
"Exactly," dagdag pa ni Rich na halatang sang-ayon ito sa hinala ni Sofie.
"So?" nakangiweng sabi niya sa mga ito na para bang hindi niya ma-gets ang point ng mga ito.
"So your planning for a r-revenge?" parang hindi pa siguradong asampsyon ni Rich na bahagya pang lumaki ang mata at tumaas ang dalawang kilay.
Napapalatak siya ulit sa ideyang yun. Kahit nga sa totoo lang ay gusto niyang gantihan ito just to feed her ego, ay hindi nalang niya gagawin, kasi it's not worth it at para na rin niyang binigay ang gusto nitong mangyari, since she knows how that woman wants to take her place and piss her off, but just couldn't get any closer.
"Oh, come on guys... revenge?? Not a single effort for that woman." She rolled her eyes in sarcasm. For her, it's ridiculous na maghiganti kay Katrina, knowing Jake is still begging for her.
"So anung dahilan?" curious paring tanong ni Sofie.
"I'll show her that it is useless to compete with me." She elegantly flips her hair and continues to enjoy her Chai Latte as the excitement begun to run in her veins again.
¤¤¤¤¤¤
"OHH my God! What do you think you're wearing?! Pambihira naman Kuya! We're going to be late! Nakakahiya naman sa mama!" huramintadong reaksyon ng kanyang Auntie nang bumaba siya na ang suot ay plain white-T matching a sexy demin shorts and black high-cut snickers with butterfly na ni redesign pa ni Rich as he hand paints the visual nung last birthday niya as a gift.
Kung makapag-react naman ito akala mo'y basahan ang suot niya.
Sa totoo lang kasi, sa klase ng pamumuhay meron siya kung maaari she shouldn't wear those kind of clothes, It must be branded dahil nahahanay sila sa isa sa pinakamayayaman angkan sa bansa. Kailangan laging presentable and well-dressed kahit nasa loob ng bahay, sa madaling salita parang isang prinsesa, but even if she knows about it? She just don't care and even if she wears those kinds of clothe, she will still stands out, kahit itabi pa siya sa mga ito suot ang magagarang mga damit at alahas nila.
Sa totoo lang sinadya niyang hindi magbihis dahil wala naman talaga siyang balak sumama. Being with this people makes her feel sick, because they never really wanted her to be there and even her dad doesn't seem to care. They can only see her visibly at her best mistakes and failures. Dahil wala silang alam gawin kundi ang ipamukha sa kanya na wala siyang lugar sa pamilyang nila at bunga lamang siya ng isang malaking pagkakamali ng mga magulang niya.
Napakunot-naman ng noo ang papa niya nang mapalingon sa kanya.
"Bakit hindi ka pa nakabihis? Hindi ba't alam mo naman na ngayon ang party ng lola mo?" ma-awtoridad nitong tanong sa kanya na halatang pinipilit huwag magalit.
Kahit na me-edad na ay mapustura pa din at bata kesa sa edad ang itsura ng kanyang papa but it never lessens the authority on his face, after all he is the president of the Veraniel Corporation, considered as one of the great business tycoon in the country.
Seeing that kind of facial expression on their faces, makes her want to call for cheers.
"Oh... I'm really sorry dad, I forgot." Saying it in a very sarcastic way makes her feel good, dahil pakiramdam niya ay sasabog na sa galit ang bruhilda niyang auntie at pati na ang anak nitong super spoiled at sobrang bongga na naman ang kasuotan na halatang pinaghandaan para maging center of attention.
"So stressing tsk tsk," pang-aasar na komento ng pinsan niya na akala mo'y lalaban ng beauty pageant sa kapal ng make-up.
She is wearing screamingly expensive pieces of jewelries na malamang choice ng Auntie niya and a silky red polka-dot dolly dress that looks kind a old school for her age. She tries to look classy but ends up looking old-fashioned.
'Trying hard pa more.' Pinigilan na lang niyang matawa.
Maganda naman ito, kaso hindi niya maintindihan kung bakit pagkakapal-kapal maglagay ng kolorete sa mukha.
'Wow, ha! Stress?! If I know you're really thanking me for not coming.'
She's just going to steal the spotlight if she joins the party.
A naughty smirk forms inside her head.
Even other Veraniels can't beat the visual combination of her mom and dad.
"Dad why don't you all go ahead? Besides I don't feel like going either. I have other plans for tonight," kalmadong suwestyon niya sa mga ito habang pinapaikot-ikot sa hintuturo ang susi ng bago niyang red Audi a5 na regalo sa kanya ng isa sa mga business partner ng papa niya noong nagbirthday siya last two months ago.
Napahalukipkip naman ang Auntie niya."What can be more important than your Lola's birthday?!" Halatang nauubos na pasensyang hasik nito sa kanya.
"Do you really want me to tell you Tita? Hindi ba't parang niregaluhan ko na si Lola kapag hindi ako pumunta?" nanunudyong sabi niya.
"What?! Did you hear what your daughter just say?!" nanggagalaiti nitong binalingan ang papa niya. "Kuya I can't believe ganito mo pinalaki ang anak mo! Manang-mana talaga sa in-" hindi na nito naituloy pa ang sinasabi nang magsalita ang papa niya.
"Enough Sonia! Kung ayaw niyang sumama pabayaan mo na siya. Ayoko ng pag-tatalo! Let's go," sumusukong tapos nito at saka umalis upang umiwas as usual. Sana kung gaano kagaling ang papa niya sa negosyo ay ganoon din ito kahusay maging ama sa kanya.
And what else she can expect from him? All she can remember is that her father is good at ignoring her. kahit nga minsan pagnakakagawa siya ng pag-kakamali feeling niya kahit gusto nitong magalit ay mas pinipili nitong ayusin ang problema at magpatuloy sa silent treatment nito sa kanya.
Bakit?
Well, her story is not as perfect as it looks. Who would have thought that she's a stranger in her own home? She was never welcome. Everyone in the family is acting cold towards her, just because they see her as the fruit of her parent's biggest mistake at base sa mga narinig niyang istorya, ang mommy niya ang nagdala ng kahihiyan sa buong pamilya ng mga Veraniel nang ma-in love ito sa papa niya, which they considered forbidden because they used to be brothers and sisters even though her mom is not really blood related to the family. She's an adopted child, and for that, they feel disgusted towards her, and then the rest is history of why her life is so ironic.
Her mom died after giving birth to her dahil may sakit ito sa puso. Pero naniniwala siya na higit kanino ang mama niya lang ang tunay na nagmahal sa kanya, dahil kahit maaaring ikamatay nito ang pagluwal sa kanya ay pinili pa din siya nitong buhayin.
Nobody wants to tell her the whole story kaya naman habang lumalaki siya ay natutunan niyang maging manhid and to mask her lonely life pinili na lang niyang mabuhay ayon sa kung anung meron siya. Her dad is a good provider after all, maybe because he needs to feed his conscience.
'And I must have really thanked that conscience, because it gives me a princess life.' she bitterly consoles herself.
"Well if that's the case... I'm going out now. Hope you enjoy the night." Bahagya pa niyang nginitian ang kanyang tiyahin at pinsan bago tuluyang nilagpasan ang mga ito.
"Alam mo hindi ko alam kung bakit ka pa naging parte ng pamilyang ito! You are just an embarrassment like your mother," Feel na feel nitong pang-iinsulto sa kanya.
Napahinto siya sa paglalakad at muling binalikan ang mga ito.
"You know what Tita bagay na bagay sayo ang dress mo. You look very elegant and beautiful and you too Olga," sarcastic niyang komento.
Tumaas naman ang kilay nito. "That's how it should be," at tinapunan siya ng mapanguyam na tingin nito mula ulo hanggang paa.
Napatawa naman siya sa ginawa nitong pagtingin sa kanya. Ang akala ba nito ay matitinag siya? "You must be really excited, dahil hindi ako kasama. It's your perfect time to shine," makahulugan sabi niya dito at saka niya tinalikurang muli ang mga ito.
Sirang-sira na ang gabi ng mga ito. No matter how they hate her, isa lang ang laging nakatatak sa isip niya, na walang magagawa ang mga ito dahil pag bali-baliktarin man nila ang mundo siya ang nag-iisang tagapagmana ng papa niya na may pinaka-malaking share of stocks sa kompanya at kung tutuusin hindi hamak na mas nakaka-angat siya sa lahat ng mag-pipinsan. Kaso may pagkamatigas nga lang ang ulo niya at ginagawa lahat ng gusto, kaya minsan may mga nakaka-misinterpret ng ugali niya. Nagmumukha siyang insensitive at walang pakealam. Sometimes she needs to be heartless so she can endure everything and for that she survives alone.
Hi Kakiligs! Sorry talaga kung apakabagal ng progress ko hehehe, pero I'm trying to come back into writing since in my vacation after maging sirena ng 7 months, Please leave me some message, I would love to hear from you💜💜💜💜 Noona nyo, Miss PK
"OH my... look at you!" bulalas ng isang may edad na babae nang bumukas ang pintuan. Agad naman silang tumayo ng kanyang mama. Nanatili siyang nakatayo habang ang mama niya ay sabik na sinalubong ang isang matalik na kaibigan. "It's so nice to see you again Julia!" buong kagalakang anas ng kanyang mama nang magyakap ang mga ito. "You too Linda." So, this is the woman behind all this. She looks beautiful and young despite of her age. She looks like an Asian version of Monaliza wearing modern branded clothes. Simple, classic but timeless. Her gestures are finess and delicate like it's a part of her art. Well, she is a well-known ballet dancer and a theater actress during her young age. She is the famous Julia Soller "The Art Molder" She owns the Julia Arts Academy na sikat dahil sa mga talentong talaga naman produkto nito. Karamihan s
"Uyy! Tulala lang bro?" natatawang kantyaw sa kanya ni Sedrick habang napapailing-iling na binuksan ang locker sa tabi niya, "Ang dami ko ng nakwento pero mukhang wala kang narinig niisa." Nginiwian siya nito. Hindi siya aware na kanina papala siya nakatulala. Sa totoo lang medyo hindi nga siya nakatulog ng maayos kagabi. 'Did I just step into her world?'Isang malalim na buntong hininga ang kanyang pinakawalan. Hindi niya maialis sa isip ang maganda nitong mukha. Every time he'll close his eyes, she's there. Her lonely beautiful eyes are just so hard not to look at and forget. He had seen a lot of pretty faces before but something about her makes him feel different. Ibang-iba ito nung sa hallway at iba din ito nung nakita niya kagabi sa music room. Nung nag-uusap nga sila halos hindi siya makapagfocus sa sinasabi nito. Sana nga lang hindi nito nahalata na titig na titig siya dito habang nagsasalita ito at buti na nga lan
HABANG naglalakad siya ay nahagip ng mga mata niya ang isa ding pares pa ng mga mata na ramdam niyang sa kanya nakatuon. Napahinto siya sa paglalakad sa mismong tapat nito. Tila hayun na naman ang kakaibang pakiramdam na iyon sa tuwing magtatama ang mga paningin nila. He smiled, and that made her day. She gave him a quick little smile in return and continued to walk passed by him. Hindi niya alam kung saan siya nanghiram ng lakas para humakbang but she has to be who she is, kahit pa ba parang gusto niya pang makipagtitigan dito. She was trying to calm herself nang biglang may magsalita sa likuran niya. "Heels look good on you, but the butterfly shoes look better." And that voice sends that electrifying feeling to her whole body again. She can't help biting her lower lip before she stops and turns to him. He is standing not far behind her, carrying a black leather body bag, and his right hand is inside his pocket. Wearing a simp
"I-ikaw?" she manages to say in between her sobs. Hindi ito nakatingin at nakaupong pasalungat sa kanya habang nakasandal sa piano at nakatitig sa kawalan. Saglit itong may kinuha sa bulsa at iniabot sa kanya ang isang pulang panyo na wala sa loob niyang natitigan. Ngunit nang bumalik ang mga paningin niya rito ay hindi pa din ito lumilingon sa kanya. "Y-you shoudn't be h-here," Mahinang paos na sabi niya, "You shouldn't s-see me like t-this," halos mautal-utal siya sa pagsasalita gawa ng kanyang pagngungoy dahil sa labis na pag-iyak. Nang hindi niya tanggapin ang panyo ay humarap ito, ngunit iniwasan nitong magtama ang mga mata nila at itinuon nito ang atensyon sa kanyang pisngi na maingat nitong pinahid ang mga luha na patuloy sa pag-agos. "I didn't see you... don't worry," he assures her in a sad tone. "Yes, you did... and p-please don't pity me. I have enough for myself," a hint of bitterness is visible in her eyes while staring at
PARAISO ba sa ibang mundo ang lugar na nasa harapan niya? It's a private place, and there's a Mansion that looks like an old European house in a creamy beige palette. It looks so elegant with this romantic style post making it looks like a classic roman structure. There is a swimming pool surrounded by well-groomed Bermuda grass and a minimalist glass house not far away from the Mansion. There is a cliff that shows the stunning view of the ocean and heaven's horizon. She's speechless and couldn't find any word to describe how romantic and peaceful the place was. It has a different vibe compared to their Mansion. It looks homey and relaxing, while the Mansion where she lives is too luxurious and screams how extravagant their lifestyle is. 'Intimidatingly huge to make it simple.' "Do you like it?" biglang napabaling siya sa hindi niya namalayang kanina pa palang nasa tabi ni
"DAVE, would you like to join us in our study group?" pukaw sa atensyon niya ng babaeng nakatayo sa harap niya. Maganda ito at maamo ang mukha, she looks like a nice girl with her simple but elegant style of clothing. She is wearing an above the knee white shirt dress top with a navy blue sexy-cut blazer. Her straight shoulder length blonde bleach hair is match with a black ribbon headband making her look so smart and formal. Sa pagkakaalam niya ito ang president ng department nila. Rank 2 in the Most Popular Girl controversial list. Narinig lang niya sa mga kaklaseng lalaki nung minsang nagkukwentuhan ang mga ito. "Oo nga Dave sama ka na sa amin! Papahiramin ka namin ng mga notes ng na-missed mong lesson," pursigidong sabi naman ng isa pa nitong kasama. Kung tutuusin Hindi naman niya kailangan ng notes dahil lagi siyang nag-aadvance study. "Oo nga... sin
SHE is busy playing the piano in her room when her phone rings. Napangisi siya nang makita kung sino ang tumatawag, "Wow I wasn't expecting this," bungad niya dito. "Expecting what? That I miss you?" She can imagine the smirk on his face when he said that. That baritone voice that makes every girl in their school fall on their knees except for her. Yes, he is freaking handsome, plus the only son of Julia Soller and her counterpart in the rank for boys, because just like her he holds the no. 1 spot on the Most Popular Boy in the school but for her she is just a normal boy that happens to be her childhood bestfriend. "Yeah... because it seems like you forgot about me," kunwaring tampong sabi niya. Hindi kasi siya sanay na hindi siya nito kinakamusta pero she won't ask why, not because she doesn't care but it's just the way she is. She learned not to beg for anyone's care
SHE'S alone in the balcony outside the party venue, enjoying her Cristal Rosè champagne while having the beautiful view of the night sky and the hotel garden.It's her father's birthday and he choose to celebrate it with the company in Clara Amore Hotel and Resorts."Solo flight?" isang tinig mula sa likuran niya.Hindi niya ito nilingon dahil alam naman niya kung sino ito at isa pa, hindi pa niya nakakalimutan ang ginawa nito kay Dave kahapon. She hates how he made him feel so bad because of his attitude problem.He stands beside her in the opposite way and leans on the balcony just like her with his bended elbow supporting him from his back while holding a drink in a rock glass.Nanatili siyang tahimik. Naramdaman niya na bumuntong-hininga ito, "So you're just going to ignore me because I didn't shake his hand?" napataas ang dalawa nitong kilay habang nakatingin sa kanya. "Do you really expect me to be nice in all your boyfriends?" he said with sarcasm."After what you did yesterday?
WHEN they arrive at the Pool, she immediately breaks into the crowd, which automatically gives way to her. She felt all the hair in her body go up with so much rage when she saw what they did to Sandy. Hawak hawak ito ng dalawang alagad ni Katrina and her hair was in mess na halatang pinagtulungan ng mga itong sabunutan. She also sees her cheeks red and starting to form a bruise. Her swollen eyes are flowing with tears begging them to stop. She felt her heart being peirced looking at her. They are six against one.'Fucking Bitches!!!!' Her hand clutches into fist. "Oh my God Sandy!" sigaw ni Rich,"Bakit ayaw niyong awatin??!!!" halos maghisterikal ito dahil wala man lang mangahas na makealam at tila la
HINDI pa din siya makamove-on sa nangyari sa pictorial kanina. Nagulat siya nang biglang siyang hatakin ni Dave sa may bewang at masuyong sinapo ng palad nito ang pagitan ng pisngi at leeg niya.It's almost like a kiss.It feels like ages since the last time she got so close to him and to be near him, in his arms, and to those lips na hanggang ngayon ay nagpaparegudon pa din ng tibok ng puso niya. She's having butterfly war in her stomach. Hindi niya alam kung magagalit ba siya sa baklang yun o magpapasalamat sa pakulo nito?Maya maya pa ay nagsimula na ang Fashion Show. Huli ang Team ni Rich and they didn't expect how grand their presentation be. Since some models quit on him. Everyone is surprised, and some probably have their regrets for turning their back on the best team in the show. It turns out, a powerful ending for the fashion show because all the models are like the most popular students of their Academy.
HINDI nakaligtas sa kanya ang tinginan nang dalawa. Pinilit na lamang niyang maging kaswal ang sarili hanggang sa matapos ang meeting. Minsan gusto na niyang paniwalaan si Veronica na baka nga may mas malalim na kahulugan iyon but his heart always refuses to.Nang matapos ang meeting agad siyang nagpaalam sa mga ito, "Ah guys I need to go... I'm checking the location of the Fashion Show."Napabaling lahat sa kanya."Ay oo nga pala!" napapalatak si Sedrick at napahawak sa ilalim ng baba na para bang may nakalimutan itong gawin, "Bro, sunod ako kasi may pinapasend lang sa akin si papa na files," nangingiwe nitong sabi."Grabe ang bata mo pa pero negosyanteng-negosyante na ang datingan mo noh," bakas ang pagkamangha sa tinig ni Sofie."Ganyan yan si Kuya! Career driven na tao," dagdag pang komento ni Jam na nagtunog proud sa kuya nito.
KASWAL siyang napatingin sa babaeng nakaupo sa high stool na nasa katapat niyang kitchen Island. Nakatitig ito sa kanya habang nakapangalumbaba at bahagyang ngumiti nang magtama ang mga mata nila. Kasalukuyan kasi niyang hinihimay ang lettuce na gagamitin para sa salad mamayang dinner dahil nakaugalian na niyang tulungan ang mama niya sa tuwing gusto nitong magluto. Isa ito sa mga pinsan ni Honey na nakilala niya noon sa kasal at pati na rin nung dinner. She's studying in the same school with them. "I think I should visit often... I really like to learn some recipes from you tita," magiliw nitong sabi at ibinaling ang atensyon sa mama niya. "Yeah you can always come!" magiliw din namang sang-ayon ng mama niya sa suhestyon nito, "Napakalaki ng bahay na ito and it would be nice to have people around,"
AUDITION DAY Nadoon sila ngayon sa JAA Theater kung saan magaganap ang audition for upcoming play, at Beauty and the Beast ang napag-usapan gawing play for the school year. Last time it was Romeo and Juliet at talaga namang na-bored siya doon ng husto, bukod sa hindi din masyadong na execute ng mga gumanap ang malalim na emosyon na hinihingi ng istorya, ay ang grupo nila Katrina ang humawak doon.Kaya naman ngayong school year ay pinakiusapan siya ni Miss Julia na maging parte ng Theater Club. Ibinigay sa kanya ang positiong Musical Director but she still needs to work with the same team, Katrina as Head Choreographer dahil isa itong ballet dancer, Si Uno naman ang Costume and Design Manager, Sedrick is the one in charge sa mga Props together with the Fine Arts department, there is Veronica as the Stage designer from Architecture at lastly isang estudyante from Performing Arts na si Freddy na pr
MGA ilang minuto din siyang nakaupo sa loob ng isa sa mga cubicle ng Lady's Room. She went there to breath as the VIP room suddenly becomes suffocating when Jessie opened the topic about her. Of course she looks tough back there but the truth is, it still hurts that no matterhow great she will do, not everyone in the family will accept the fact that she can actually do things that will meets Veraniel's standards, but one thing that is really unusual... was that for the first time in the history of this kind of gathering there's actually people in the family who defended and appreciated her. She can't deny that it felt good but still weird that it bugs her curiosity. 'Why would they suddenly have change their hearts?' Napabuntong-hiniga nalang siya at sumusu
"MAMA... you may start," baling ng kanyang bruhang tiyahin na si Katherine sa lola nila matapos makuha ang atensyon ng lahat.Nakaupo ito sa may kanang bahagi ng lamesa sa tabi ng kanyang lola, ito kasi ang paborito nitong anak kahit ang papa niya ang nagtake-over ng kompanya gawa ng ito ang panganay na anak.Lahat kasi ng gusto ng lola niya ay siyang sinusunod nito, sa madaling salita... 'Sobrang sipsip at sulsol!' ginagatungan ang maitim na budhi ng kanyang lola pagkinagagalitan siya.Tumayo ang matanda at pormal na ngumiti. Kahit matanda na ito ay bakas na bakas pa rin ang otoridad sa me edad nitong mukha. Ito kasi ang pinakamatandang Veraniel at lahat ng nasa harap niya ay mata
At Goût de Champagne in Clara Mi Amore Hotel. OF course Veraniels will never dine in just an expensive restaurant but in an exclusive ones, where only the members of the Clara Amore Royal Club can enjoy the luxury and aunthentic French cuisine. Sikat ito sa bansa bilang isa sa mga Top 10 high-end restaurant na marami ng award na nakuha including three Michelin stars. The food are being prepare and conceptualize by the top chefs in France and even all the raw ingredients, wines, utensils, chinaware and the whole restaurant interior itself are exclusively imported from France, no excuses. It's located at the back of Clara Amore Hotel faci
TODAY is the day that both their parents are coming home from their honeymoon and as for the tradition, there will be the first ever family dinner a.k.a social torture for her. She really hates this kind of event. It makes her want to throw up and just disappear. Usually kasi ang pinag-uusapan lang naman ng mga ito ay about their achievements, businesses, properties at kung ano-ano pang kayabangan at kaplastikan na akala mo ay magkakasundo pero sila sila ay may lihim na kompetisyong na namamagitan sa isa't-isa. That's the usual scenario when the rich of the richest of the Veraniel Empire meets in one dinner table. For sure some of her cousins will also be present a.k.a. mix of annoying minions ng mga Veraniel at wala ni isa sa kanila ang may kasundo siya,'Well that's the least of m
