2021-03-27 07:13:20It was already five in the afternoon yet I am still on my studio painting for the my last painting for this day that Sachi asked me to paint for her Coffee Shop when my secretary called my attention. Mabuti na lang at malapit na akong matapos sa huling gagawin ko ngayong araw.
"Good Day Miss! Your ticket has arrived and already on your table, Miss." she spoke on the other line.
Agad naman akong pumunta sa maliit kong opisina upang makita iyong tungkol sa sinabi niya. I felt excited when I saw the ticket on my table but I was more surprised when I saw that it was a VIP ticket when I just told her that I just want a regular ticket because I am still saving money not wasting.
"Diba sabi ko sa'yo na VIP ticket lang? Bakit VIP ito? Mahal ba babayaran ko? Alam mo namang nagtitipid ako diba?" sunod-sunod kong tanong sa kanya, kinakabahan at baka mahal ang babayaran. I couldn't help but rant.
"Hindi ko rin alam kung bakit iyan iyong dumating Miss, but the price is still the same naman." sabi niya at napabuntong-hininga na lang ako nang makitang totoo iyong sinabi niya. Hindi ko napigilang mapahilot sa sentido.
At least the price was still the same but it might be for somebody else. Nagkamali lang sila sa paglagay ng pangalan at address. It was sort of unfair for them because they paid for the VIP ticket yet they had the regular ones.
I was planning to email them but I forgot about it when a phone call caught my attention.
The next days I was busy painting while running my dad's business, our rice field, lalo na dahil malapit na rin kaming magpapa-ani ng mga palay. It would be a hard week for me. Thank goodness that I will be attending the concert the day after that day as I talked to Dad about him managing it even just for a week.
"Dad, I will be in Manila tomorrow. I'll be attending a band concert." sabi ko sa kanya nang minsay nag-abot kami sa palayan. Nakasuot ito ng isang malaking sombrero kaya hindi ko masyadong nakita ang kanyang mukha at reaksyon.
Napatahimik ito sa sinabi ko, baka iniisip niyang siya ang pagbabayarin ko. "I used my own money for my expenses, may naipon na rin naman ako sa paintings ko pero sa savings ko iyon kinuha." dagdag ko habang hindi pa ito sumasagot sa sinabi ko.
Thankfully he remained silent so I took his silence as a big wonderful 'yes'.
Even if my eyes were heavy and puffy, I still managed to stay awake for my whole airplane ride. I book a grab when the twins told me the address, iyong condo na tinutuluyan nila kapag nandito sila habang may report at training o 'di kaya'y kapag hinihintay nila ang barko. And I am not familiar with the place kaya hindi na rin ako nagmarunong pa para maligaw.
And about their gym business, they said that there is 'someone' who manages it. I wonder who he is.
I took a shower after I arrived and did arrange some of my things. Inilagay ko rin iyong mga pagkain na nabili ko kanina sa baba sa maliit nilang refrigerator na maayos para sa tatlong araw kong stay dito. I cleaned a little of their left messy things before I decided to lay on the bed comfortably.
I checked some of my social media accounts before I decided to go on a sleep.
Kinaumagahan ay maaga akong nagising kaya nagluto muna ako ng pang-umagahan ko dahil nakakaramdam na rin ako ng gutom. I plan to visit an art store to buy new art materials for me to use too since the concert is still seven in the evening. I also wanted to roam around the city too. Lalo na at paminsan minsan lamang akong mapadpad dito nang dahil sa marami na akong ginagawa.
My five hours of roaming around areas frankly not enough but I had to go home to prepare. Ashwin contacted me earlier, asking about my whereabouts but he ended it soon because they were busy preparing.
So it's firmly too soon, huh? I cannot help but giggle due to excitement.
Nang makarating ako sa labas ng MOA, marami nang tao kahit alas kuwarto pa lang ng hapon. Mabuti na lang rin pala na maaga akong pumunta baka mas lalo pa akong mahirapan na pumasok mamaya.
Nagulat ako ng may i-ilan na taon lumapit sa akin at nagpa-picture dahil sabi pa nila ay kilala daw nila ako. May ibang kilala ako bilang isang manunulat, iyong iba naman ay kilala ako dahil sa pagiging vlogger ko pero mas karamihan ay mas kilala ako dahil sa mga litrato kumakalat na kasama ko si Ashwin.
Some fangirls are even looking at me cautiously and glaring.
Huminga ako ng malalim at hinayaan na lang. Gusto ko pa namang magkaroon nang tahimik na buhay, kaya naman pala noong isang araw ay maraming nag-follow at nag-subscribe sa social media accounts ko.
"Let us all welcome the band and their newest member!" the emcee shouted that make us all more excited to see them all. It was at the same time when the lights turned on.
It makes us more excited to see who is the new member of the vocalist at the same time sad because one of them is not performing anymore due to personal reason.
The emcee mentioned the names of some of the members one by one and I screamed when I knew the members are, lahat sila ay nakasuot ng magagarang damit ngunit hindi ko pa maaninag iyong bago nilang myembro. Until the guitarist and vocalist were welcomed.
"Our newest guitarist and lead vocalist, Czesar Chiongson." the emcee called the last member that made me stiff.

It was summer, a sunny day to be exact, when my dad suggested us to come with him on our rice field and I was nearly bore to death I became happy with his idea. Wala ng pagda-dalawang isip akong tumayo mula sa aking kama at nagbihis, kinuha ko rin iyong sketchpad ko kung sakaling magkaroon ako ng ideya o kung ganoon man na wala akong ibang gagawin doon.My brothers doesn't want to be there but they have no choice since I will be with dad. Ika pa ng Papa ay bantayan raw ako na ikina-ngiwi ko pa.What am I? A kindergarten child?I watched my reflection in the mirror and wore a cropped spaghetti top with a jean shorts and a pair of flat slippers. My usual comfortable clothes.When we arrived, my twin brothers stayed at the car, as they were planning to play an online game when they found a strong internet. I grab my things including my blanket, foods and drinks which I placed in my tote bag. Then looked for a nice spot, in where I can relax and try

Today's another day of summer, as usual bored in the house. Had nothing to do except on scrolling on my social media account, painting, playing with our cute havanese dog, listening to different kinds of old music and learning how to play instruments, iyan ang palagi kong ginagawa kapag nasa bahay lang ako.I was almost done with my sketchpad, konti nalang talaga at mapupuno ko na iyon. Buti at may iba akong pinagkaaabalahan at hindi lahat sa paggawa ng arts nakatuon ang atensyon ko. I sort of like doing letterings or it is called calligraphy?Thinking how it might be if I will be visiting the rice field this time. I kinda miss the fresh air in the place while eating a green unriped mango. Magdadala na talaga ako ng bagoong at sili.While scrolling through my spotify, I noticed a new song entitled: Beautiful Scars, it's a new release song and it kind of catch my attention due to its title. Napatango na ako simula pa lama

“Oh, hi.” I replied and waved my hand at him in an awkward way. Doon ko pa narealize na nakakahiya ang ginawa dahil pwede namang hindi na kasali iyong pag wagayway ng kamay sa pagbati ko sa kanya. Tsaka hindi naman kami close.Sa halip na tumunganga sa harap niya ay inilahad ko ang mga napamili ni Lau upang dalhin sa sasakyan nila. Ngunit, isinama niya pa iyong iba kong mga gamit kaya nakaramdam ako ng hiya dahil may kabigatan rin iyon.“Ako na.”“Salamat,” nauutal kong sabi sa kanya at bahagyang ngumiti.Nauna siyang maglakad sa akin at sinabi pa niyang susunod na lang daw si Lau sa amin dahil matatagalan pa raw ito ng kaunti. He lead our way on his car which is a silver 2019 Toyota Yaris L Sedan kaya napatunganga ako rito. This car is a freaky expensive, this cost in a near million.

The class has already started and I am not expecting to be late today. Hindi naman sa hindi ayos sa akin na maging late sa first day ngunit gusto kong maka-una ako sa classroom dahil gusto kong makaunang pumili ng pwesto. Gusto ko sana sa unahang parte na upuan para makapag-aral ng maayos at iwas chika.Kung papipiliin lang siguro ako, gusto ko na kami na lang ulit ng mga kaklase ko ang magkakaklase ngayong taon. Para hindi na ako mahirapan pang pakisamahan ulit ang mga tao makakasalamuha. Kaya ayun, nakaupo ako ngayon sa harapang bahagi ng silid, kinakabahan baka may gagawin pa kaming pagpapakilala sa aming sarili dahil nasa ikalabing-isang antas na kami ng highschool.Kahit kinakabahan ay hindi ko maiwasang makipag usap sa katabi na siyang kaklase ko rin noong Grade 10 na si Ailyn. Buti na lang at marami-rami kami rito na magkakaklase kaya hindi na ako masyadong nahirapan pang maghanap ng kaibigan kahit

Ang dali lang talagang lumipas ng araw, hindi ko na agad namalayang sabado na ngayon. It should be our tutorial day this day but I cancelled it last night for a purpose.

I guess she invited all of us, our classmates this year to come to her party.We actually getting along with each other, kaya sino ba naman ako para magsabi ng hindi sa kanya?

“Where are we going?” I asked him when I am already seating at the passengers seat, comfortably.“You sound like Dora.” he laughed at me but did no answered my question. He even clapped his hands.This guy!“Can I turn on your AC or we'll just let the windows down?” I added when I really felt sweaty. Natatakot na rin at baka mangangamoy sa loob ng sasakyan niya dahil sa init kanina sa labas.“Do what makes you comfortable.” sabi niya at hindi na muli akong kinausap nagpokus na ito sa pagmamaneho hanggang sa makarating kami sa isang kainan.“Hala.” hindi ko mapigilang sabihin dahil sa gulat ko.I turned to him and he gave me a questioning look. I gave him a weird smile and pulled him so we can already eat. When we are done ordering our foods, hindi ko na

Napuno ng kantyaw ang loob ng silid. Nagsisigawan ang karamihan habang si Czesar ay nakangisi lang habang nakatuon ang kaniyang mga mata sa akin. Ashwin, on the other side looks surprised.“Alright, keep quiet!” paninita ni Czesar.When the room was already at peace, there, I started strumming, kahit na nanginginig ang kamay sa kaba. As I sang, the attention was all mine. Hindi ko alam kung matutuwa ba ako o mas kakabahan. Sapagkat hindi ko alam kung ano ang takbo sa kanilang mga isipan. Seems like they knew the song considering that when I sang the chorus part when they sang with me. When I looked at Czesar, I saw him singing to while using their table as a drum.When I stopped singing, Clide starts to commend until all of them gave me a positive comment. Their comments are heartwarming. Ramdam ko ang kasayahan ko na abot-langit kaya nakangiti na akong nagpaalam hanggang sa makalabas sa silid pagkatapos nila akong

The event's tiring but it wasn't done yet, though I really wanted to go home. Kakasimula pa lamang ng Intrams namin kaya may dalawa pang araw bago naman matapos ito.Today's wednesday so probably it will end during fridays. So I was happy to have two days free from another class sessions despite the fact that this will be boring for us, who are not players.Alas tres pa lang ng hapon pero inaantok na ako sa sobrang pagod. Nagsisimula na ang mga green team sa pagpeperform ng kanilang yell at sinundan ng yellow team. Nang nagsimula na ang red team ay doon kami tinawag upang kami ay susunod na magpakita sa aming nagawang yell. Isa ito sa dahilan kung bakit mas lalo akong nai-stress dahil kailangan namin itong iparinig at ipaaral sa iba pa naming kagrupo habang tuwing uwian naman ay nagpapraktis kami ng banda.When we finished performing our yell, I decided to go

Summer to Forget Epilogue
When I was a child, I find love stories cliche. Until my parents broke up, there, I hereby hated love.I was still a little when I became bitter. Whenever I see young lovers, I picked something and throw it at them. Until one day, I eavesdropped. They were talking about my Dad and someone's Mom who are now happy with themselves and doing their illegal deeds.“So the Señor Marcil was left for that Chiongson man? 'di na baleng iwan ang lalaking totoong nagmamahal sa iyo para lang sa negosyong druga? Nakakaawa naman iyong mga bata, lalo na si Tamila, kegandang bata na iyon.”Tamila Marcil. . .Starting that day, I started to ask some people about that girl but the girl was nothing but a home girl. She was over protected by her father and her two older brothers which are twins.Years passed by quickly for me because I guess I had fun, I had fun on

Things between Czesar and I are getting better after he asked me to marry him. I actually got better too when I tried to put myself on my usual. Pero paminsan minsan ay hindi ko maiwasang makaramdaman nang pagkabalisa.I was also sad to think that I am one of the reasons why Czesar left the band. I knew that being on a band is his dream since he was a little. Hindi ko mapigilan minsang sisihin ang sarili ko kahit para na lang sa mga nakikinig sa kanila at sumusubaybay.As I looked at my reflection in the full-sized mirror. I can't help but to smile and feel pretty. We will be having our photoshoot for our wedding next week. I am here in my room with my make up artist and hair stylist. I am wearing a cream colored loose off shoulder long gown. The only detail of the gown was only at the upper part, it was like a cutted cloth from the same material that is used and the rest of it was plain. Inilugay lang ang maykulay kong buhok na

As soon as I stepped unto our house, I looked for Dad's presence."Auntie!" tawag ko sa kasambahay namin. Naramdaman ko namang nakasunod si Czesar sa akin. Dala iyong ibang bagahe ko.Kakarating lang namin galing sa aming mahaba habang flight, kahit na pagod ay hindi ko pa rin maisawala sa isip ko iyong anunsiyong may sakit ang ama ko."Ate!" tawag ko ulit nang walang ni isa ang sumagot sa tawag ko."Ga, how many cars are there in the garage?" I asked him despite of panicking I managed to deliver it soft."Four. Tito's car isn't there." he answered and I muttered him thanks.Our three helpers we're all not here. They must be out with Dad. Nang wala talaga akong makita ni isa bahagya akong kinabahan hindi dahil nakabukas lang ang bahay na walang tao kung hindi dahil pare pareho silang lahat na wala rito.

Hindi ko mapigilang magising dahil naalimpungotan ako nang may kamay na nakayakap sa akin at paa na nakatanday sa bandang binti ko. Insakto naman nang mapatingin ako sa bintana at nakitang may araw na.I unconsciously looked at his facewhen I heard him snore. I stopped myself from laughing and smiled. My hand went to his cheek until it went to his eyes and caress it.My eyes went down to his parted lips and touched it.I poked his cheek to wake him up but he didn't. Napagod siguro. Kaya imbes na gisingin ko siya dahan dahan na lang akong tumayo mula sa kinahihigaan ko ngunit bahagya naman itong gumalaw na tila bang hinahanap ako para may mayakap kaya hindi ko mapigilang matawa sa kaniya.And when he can't find me, I saw him panicked. His eyes opened quickly and when he saw me near on his feet, he sighed and gave me a warm smile. I am still covered with our

The next few days I got busier as I processed my ticket and as I have to be with Bella for three days because we are planning to surprise Rawl with a video presentation and to reveal the baby's gender for his birthday. Good thing that Bella accepted my request as I promised to have my schedule free for also three days for our vacation on a resort that messaged me last week."I am sure that Rawl will cry once he will see this," I commented as we watch the video that kept us busy for about three days."Just don't forget to film his reaction, Tami! I and baby with surely be mad." and touch her baby bump.She hugged me before leaving our house early so I could prepare for my flight tomorrow. She would also prepare her things because she will be living here next month. After all, she is living alone since she got pregnant!I was in the middle of putting my clothes in the luggage when Namiel called. I grab

My mouth hang open. "W-what?""Your order, Miss Gorg." he said again even if I heard him.My eyes automatically rolled at him and ask. "You are working here?""Yep." Popping the 'p'."But why?""So I could see you here from there." he pointed on the next building that I occupied as my office, where I spent most of my day.I frowned. "Idiot,""I know that you would not believe me but trust me, I am doing this for us. I'll probably kidding if I'd say I have no intention for us to get back together.""Oh. Trust me too when I'll say that you'll never get something from me. Tama lang na ibaon na sa limot ang mga nangyari noon. It wasn't worth any feeling from me, specially you." I said it with my eyes looking intently at him.I looked at their menu and chose. "Spicy

"Kapal pa rin ah!" I told him but it was more likely a joke."Ikaw pa rin ah!" he mocked.Tumawa na lang ako tapos kinuha iyong pagkain at nagsimula nang kumain. I was just feeding myself then I remember, I used to fed him foods when he was driving the car.Should I feed him?Wouldn't it be awkward?I hope so."Open your mouth idiot." that was I only said and fed him."At last! Yuho!" he celebrated happily.If we were still together, siguro nabatukan ko na siya dahil sa kaingayan niya. Binuksan ko iyong stereo niya kahit walang pahintulot. Wala pa ring nagbago sa sasakyan niya, even the smell? It still smells good ang manly. Kahit siya, hindi pa rin nagbago iyong amoy niya."Ah." he murmured and opened his mouth so I could feed him again.The next day after I got home I

“Wrong room.” sabi ko habang humihikab pa.I should be closing the door when he spoke again.“No ma'am. This is the room, room 108.” the delivery guy argued.I sighed before talking to him. “Sorry but I didn't order anything from your shop or resto. So please if you wouldn't mind, please leave because I still have a long hectic day. Thanks!” I told him before closing the door.Even if I am hungry, I wouldn't eat the food that I did not ordered, what if someone gave it to me and it has poison on it? Baka may taong galit sa akin, lalo na sa mga litratong kumakalat na iniidolo si Ash.I am planning to go on the shower room when I message arrived.Unknown:You kept me waiting hun, open the door and let's eat together..I looked at the ceiling, trying
