She's Just My Type (GxG)

5.

Gab.

A faint sound of ping lit up my phone and I didn't even bother to check it. Alam ko naman na isa na naman yun sa mga nangungulit sakin, asking me for another one night stand. Di ko rin magets. One night stand nga diba? So it's supposed to be just one night. Why do they keep asking for more?

I don't even want to think about them right now. They were just distractions back when I was in Canada. Ngayon na umuwi ako here sa Pilipinas, I want to forget where my life is at.

Now that I think of it, I can move back here for good. But I know damn well na magagalit sakin yung Dad ko for leaving what he entirely worked hard for me to have there in Canada. I just can't deal with the pressure anymore. He always expected me to make right decisions. Even though I finished the degree that HE chose for me, he still expects me to do more.

I am expected to make a name there.

So I resorted to any kind of relief I could find while I was there. Drinking, girls, night outs... lahat. Except drvgs, never do that.

This time, ibang relief ang hinahanap ko. I don't know why , but I got tired of drinking and going out fucking girls I don't personally know. This time, my heart wanted to go home.

"Incoming call from : Dad" siri called out from my bluetooth car speaker.

Shit.

I briefly averted my eyes from the road para pindutin yung answer button sa car monitor screen.

"Have you heard back from the agencies?"

Wow. No Hi , Hello, kumusta yung anak ko?

" Not yet dad. How are you?"

He ignored my question and I heard him sigh on the other line. My neck was heating up because of this. I hope he doesn't sense na hindi naman talaga ako nag effort to reach out to other agencies for a job.

" You should be following up."

" Dad, please. I just got here.." I really don't want to argue with him right now kaya pinipigilan kong mainis.

" I'm just making sure you still have your priorities sorted out, Gab. We don't want our efforts wasted." I want to bang my head against the steering wheel right now.

I know! You make sure every time! I just don't want to deal with all of that right now! I just graduated!

I breathed heavily to calm myself and answered as nicely as I could.

" I know Dad. I'm just taking a short break right now."

"Opportunities don't wait for people, sweetheart"
I hate how he makes me feel guilty. Hindi ko ba deserve mag rest? After finishing a degree I completely hated?

Tangina kinaya ko yung Business Administration para sa kanya. I hated that shit. I wanted to study at a film school, make arts.. express myself. But my dad wanted to be practical and had me study business ad instead.

" I know, dad. I'll be working on it"

" You know I'm only pushing you because I want what's best for you. Think about what I said and keep me updated."

" Okay, Dad."

He ended the call without saying anything else.

"Tangina talaga" I whispered to myself.

How the fuck do I tell him na ayoko ng career sa business. I wanted to study ulit but at a film school this time. But I can't do that if I don't have a job. For me to study again, it's either my dad will have to support me financially, or I would need to support myself.
