Lahat ng Kabanata ng FUBU: Kabanata 31 - Kabanata 40

We arrived at a newly discovered homestay in Batangas almost after lunch. The place looked so serene with a huge pool welcoming you in its front yard.As far as I know, we're the only ones staying in the place.I chose the room that's nearest the rooftop, where a cute lounge is set up.There were bean bags and a flat screen tv set up in one corner, a barbecue station and a popcorn machine.But nothing beats the view from that part of the house. Its a three story house fully equipped with kitchenware and all the basic necessities.May game boards gaya ng chess at scrabble, I also saw a billiard and table tennis in one corner.The place is huge at kahit piliin kong wag makihalubilo sa kanila ay pwede dahil sa laki ng bahay.I laid in bed diagonally staring at my father's urn.I still don't know what to do with it.I've bid my goodbyes to him a long time ago pero bakit mahirap pa din i-let go?The room started to light up even more. Buti na lang at malakas ang aircon sa loob ng room.Nak

I woke up feeling dizzy, of what, I have no idea. I opened my eyes and realized I wasn't in my own room. It was all white. Just like how my father's room looked like. I felt something in my hands, bugging and somewhat heavy. I turned my eyes to the side and realized that I have an IV injected in me. I groaned at the realization. I am in a hospital. "Hello?" I called out. The entire room is empty. I struggled to sit up on the bed, but I did anyways. Next, I slid my legs off of the bed and tried my hardest to step out of the bed. I badly needed to pee."Hey." his voice sounded unfamiliar at first. But I know who he is. "Help me. I need to pee."He put down two cups of coffee on the nearest table and proceeded on helping me get into the bathroom. I know he's waiting by the door to help me drag the entire IV back into my bed as well. Once I got out, I caught his arm and allowed him to help me till I'd be back on my bed. On another side of my bed are covered foods. I tucked myself

One of the most dreaded part during an application process is the waiting game.Contrary to everyone's belief, the industry is not easy to get into. From entry level to managerial and even on the higher management level, the pain of waiting is common.I guess it goes with all other industries. The waiting game is always the worst.You dread the days like you are punished for a mortal sin. It's not anything different for me.So to get my mind off the thoughts and the dreadful wait, I drank."Hey. Tama na yan. Lasing ka na." Dash grabbed the bottle of tequila from my hand and placed it somewhere far from my reach."I'm not lasing." kahit alam kong hindi na magkamayaw ang dila ko sa pagbigkas ng salita, "I'm still okay. Ikaw...ikaw ang hindi na okay." dinuduro-duro ko pa siya sa dibdib."Ano'ng hindi okay?" tumaas ng bahagya ang boses niya.My mind is clear and I can see everything. I am aware of everything.Dash doesn't look that good.Pansin ko ding hapong-hapo siya kanina bago kami n

We took a stop at a popular hotel known for it's five star service. I didn't even have the words to use and say something to Shane who was swiftly walking in the middle of the hotel with her almost arrogant look that seemed to have catch everyone's attention. She then leads me into a private room that I assumed holds the usual private banquets. And when I was inside, I was surprised by the people who were there. Jeremiah, Stacy, Melai and Travis were all inside the room. Panandalian kaming nagkatitigan, but instantly greeted each other cheerfully. Shane proceeded to sit in the end of the table, in front of her were black folders. I assumed that they were our files. Then the door opened once again. This time it was Austin. Stern face came across mine, ngayon ko masasabing, eto na siguro yung sinasabi nilang taong tila magpapawala panandalian ng katinuan mo. For literally, I felt my heart stopped beating for a good two seconds. "Come here Dude." Travis broke the silence with hi

We were at a wedding boutique the following morning. Melai has booked the appointment about three months ago and now, the long wait is over. Stacy has just popped the wine and poured some for each one of us while the attendant is preparing for the set of gowns she wanted to try on that day. "And get this, they were almost hesitant to accept our resignation. Maybe because they know what's up." Stacy is talking about their resignations. From hers, Melai's and Travis as well as J's. "Did they offer any kind of increases to keep you guys?" "They didn't to me." Stacy rolled her eyes, "At the end of the day, I am still considered an agent who backed own on being a Subject Matter Expert because of how terrible it could get.""They offered me some, pero ni hindi man lang 'yun nangalahati sa binigay na bonus ni Austin. I mean, it is sad to actually think of myself as someone who is going for the money. But, if Travis and I are getting married, of course, I'll have to think about the possibi
