Nakakabingi, magulo, siksikan, mausok, amoy-alak at maraming 'di kaaya-ayang pangyayari ang nasa loob ng lugar na tinuturing kong tambayan. This was where I felt comfortable. Dito ko nailalabas kung sino talaga ako.
Having nasty bad things around you was not an issue, it was how you let it affect you and how you would deal with it. Ang hirap kasi sa tao, masyadong ma-issue at judgmental. They kept on looking what's outside. Minsan kung sino pa yung mukhang santo, sila pa yung hindi mo aasahang demonyo. Yeah, right. Been there, done that.
Napabuga ako ng hininga nang mailabas ko
"What's the use of being here if you're on your ear piece, Ibiza?" Nabigla ako nang tanggalin ni Oshlov ang headset ko dahilan para mapataas ang tingin ko sa kanya, technically, sa lahat ng tao sa table. There were all looking at me."What?" I asked and looked at her. "What?" I repeated and immediately shifted the tab. Pinapanuod ko ang isang event kung saan naglalakad sa runway si Cydeo pero nang silipin 'yon ni Oshlov, nasa music na 'to kung saan nagpe-play ang "Only You" by Little Mix.Nakita ko ang pagdududa sa mga mata ng demonyo kong pinsan kaya inagaw niya ang left ear piece ko since she was on my right. Pinakinggan niya rin 'to na para bang kahina-hinala ang pinakikinggan kong kanta.Bago pa mag-chorus ay tinanggal niya na rin 'yon at ibinalibag sa 'kin na hindi ko alam k
Two days of having a secret-on relationship with Cydeo felt exciting. Para kaming mga bata na nagre-rebelde sa mga tao. Us against the world but in reality, it was me against Mezka lang talaga.Naging maganda naman ang takbo ng mga pag-uusap namin ni Cydeo. Habang tumatagal, mas nakikilala ko siya. I was starting to unlike him now. Nakikita ko yung flaws at imperfections niya na agad kong tinanggap because all of them were reasonable and that made him, normal and reachable. With that though, hindi ko na siya gusto kasi unti-unti nang nagiging totoo yung nararamdaman konglove.I sighed after closing the laptop I just used a while ago. Naiayos ko na ang orders at natanggap ko na ang mga bayad. Malamang sa malamang, asikasuhin ko na rin ang pagpapadala ng mga natirang branded bags sa stock ko. Ayaw ko ng nagtatambak ng
I whimpered as I felt someone cuddling me. Dinama ko ang init ng katawan nito habang nakangiti at hindi pa rin dumidilat. Pilit kong inalala ang mga nangyari kagabi hanggang sa matauhan ako.My eyes widened when I realized that the man beside me was Cydeo. Susubukan ko sanang gumalaw pero napatigil ako nang maisip kong, bakit hindi ko sulitin ang oras na yakap niya ako?I reached my phone on the bed side table. I smiled at the camera habang nakayakap siya sa 'kin at tulog na tulog.Gotcha!We already had a picture together on bed. I smirked with that thought and put back my phone on the table.Pumikit ulit ako nang mas humigpit ang yakap niya sa 'kin. I was wondering if Mezka and Cydeo already did that thing but Cydeo was respectful and Mezka was conservative.
Fabrics were too fancy to the point that aesthetic cool lights reflected in every swift of the models' bodies. People who will walk in the show were all wearing heavy and pop makeups, even their bodies had highlighters that will make them glow on stage.As a club goer, I suited myself while grooving with the beat. The ambient sounds will give you a clue to what event you had entered, futuristic-water fantasy theme. I looked around and the runway amused me. The designs weren't just made of crepe papers, celophane or home linings that everyone used to see in amateur modelling shows. I nodded when I realized something, hindi basta-basta ang event na 'to. Maybe that was the reason why Cydeo really wanted to be part and featured in this event. He wouldn't be here if this will not give any credits to what he is aiming for. Kaya nga hindi na rin ako nagdalawang isip na suportahan siya at
Stephen introduced us to a new bar. Nagkaroon daw kasi doon sa bar before ng problema and he said that this one was more reliable and convenient. He was also the friend of the owner kaya iyon mismo ang nag-tour sa 'min. Kabubukas lang nito at malakas ang place. Maganda ang design, hindi dragging. Hindi mukhang pang lasing na agad ang ambience.We sat at the couches. Oo, marami. Bale apat na semi circle, nakapaikot ito sa isang oblong wooden table. Sa left side ako, katabi ko sa kaliwa si Cydeo at katabi ko naman sa kanan si George at Rashen na nakaupo sa kabilang couch. Sa tapat namin, si Olivia at Rasda. Sa kabilang couch naman, si Connor at Stephen. Stephen and Connor also ordered for our drinks though Cydeo already said that he will handle the expenses tonight.Mabilis ang service nila. Naihatid nga sa 'min kaagad ang vodkas, b
I let the noise of the crackers in my mouth filled the dull mood of the night which complemented a strong canned liquors that I was drinking. I looked at the package and smirked. Oh, this never failed me. "The best," I even murmured as if I was a commercial model of a certain brand of potato chips.I immediately smiled sweetly when I saw Rashen running towards me. Pansin ko rin ang pagmamadali niya. Napakunot din ako ng noo nang makita ko ang pagtagaktak ng pawis niya sa gabi.I spoke as he stopped near me. "You, okay?" I hesitated.Tumango lang siya. Lumapit siya sa 'kin at tumabi pa. Pinagpag ang usok na ibinuga ko at masama akong tinignan. "Sinisira mo baga mo," he smirked. "Pati atay pinapatay." He looked at my side. Nandoon ang limang canned liquors na ubos na tapos may lima
My eyes pierced to the new announcement posted on bulletin board. May mga tao ring tumitingin rito kaya naman hindi ko na rin naiwasang mapahinto. I scanned it from the headline down to our dean's signature.I wrinkled my nose. "Lapit na ng prelims natin. Naka-review ka na?" Napalingon ako sa sumangga sa bag ko at bumungad nga sa 'kin ang maaliwalas na mukha ni Stephen but instead of showing a cheerful side of me, I raised my brow."Uso ba mag-review?" balik kong tanong sa kanya na tinawanan niya lang. Napailing pa siya saka inayos ang pagkakasukbit niya ng bag niya habang ayos na ayos ang puting uniporme. I noticed something so I asked, "Bakit ka nandito sa building namin?"He chukled. "Akala ko hindi mo mapapansin," sabay gulo pa niya sa buhok ko. "I am here not for you," he pr
Black Gucci Bags. That's what I was seeing in front of the mirror in the restroom. I frustratedly frown as I walked out of it and Oshlov's face greeted me and it seemed like winning.She laughed hard. "Mukha kang laspag.""Excuse me?" I raised a brow. "That was offensive. I never done such ridiculous thing yet! You are accusing me," I continuously objected.She cut me off. "Easy. Binibiro ka lang. Grabe kasi yung eyebags mo. Anong nagpagising sa 'yo sa gabi? Ha?""Cydeo," quickly, I answered."Oh fuck! So you fucked?" she exclaimed. Mabilis kong tinakpan ang bibig niya dahil baka um-echo ang boses niya sa buong corridor. Wala pa namang ingay kaya paniguradong maririnig 'yon if
