WELCOME TO THE PHILIPPINES

LOUISE's POV // Present.

Shaking her head in amusement, with a small smile plastered on her face, Louise pushed her door open, switch on the lights and entered at her new flat. Welcomed by the cold air-conditioned room, making her shiver a little bit as she was wearing a quite thin long sleeved turtle neck shirt. She saw all her luggage and baggages at the center of the living room.

Her eyes immediately roamed around the flat. The living room is spacious, walls painted in cream color. It has a 32 inch TV attached on the wall, and small cabinet below it. It has two couches, a long sofa and a round center table with tulips inside the vase. Louise picked up the flower and smelled it, smiling before putting it back. Beside the vase was a stock of magazines, a brochure of the whole complex on top of it. And the whole floor of the flat was a marbled tiles.

There was two large sliding windows just right beside the living room. She opened it and took a look. Cold yet fresh breeze welcomed her, and was at awe when she saw it was overlooking the city. It's just already nearing 4pm, but the sky had already turned grey; rain threatening to pour. Buildings after buildings can be seen around, vehicles passing each other in the gloomy Monday afternoon. Louise couldn't quite hear the noises from below, and was thankful for that. She closes her eyes momentarily, took a deep breath and took in the cold wind. She smiled at herself and closes the window again.

Louise stride inside more, strolling in the right side of the flat and found a decent size kitchen. Above it was a wooden cupboard shaped and structured into an L. A sink underneath the cupboard, and surprisingly, it has a microwave oven on it already. The kitchen also has a marbled bar table and three stools. She walked inside the kitchen, exploring more of it. Connected on the kitchen's bar table, was a flameless stove and another oven - one for baking. Louise smiled as she thought about the things she would cook and bake. Below the cabinet, just beside the sink was another cabinet. She pulled each one and found nothing. Realizing she hasn't had any utensils and plates and such for her flat yet, she plans to go shopping tomorrow.

Her eyes wandered around the kitchen more, finding a double door refrigerator, and beside it was a bin; two bins actually. Beside the sink, on the right side was a two white creamy door. Louise twisted the knob on the first door and pushed it open only to see it was a bathroom. She turned to open the next door, and saw it was a laundry room. She nodded on herself, pleased at what she saw.

Louise walked out of the kitchen, passed the living room and turned to the left hallway of her flat. There was a two step stairs and a plant on the first flight. She saw three doors; the first two facing each other, while the other one was in the corner. She reckon it was all a bedroom.

She opened the first one on the left; the room was spacious, the wall of the whole room was painted beige and it has queen-size bed on the center, with a maroon colored rug underneath. The bedroom floor has a wooden tile. Another flat screen TV was attached on the wall and below it again was a small cabinet. The room has a bookshelf on the far right corner, beside it was another sliding window. On the left side of the bed, in Louise's guess, was a closet. An oval, human size mirror beside it. While on the opposite side was another door. And if her hunches were right, it would be a built-in bathroom.

Louise stepped out of the room and closes the door before proceeding to the other rooms. She opened the door opposite to where she came from, took a peek and saw that it was just the same. She closes it back and went to the last room. She twisted the knob and pushed it open. This time, the room was a meter or so larger than the first two. She entered the room and roamed around. It has the same queen-size bed on the center, but it has a walk-in closet rather than a regular one. A television set in front of the bed, beside it was a built-in bathroom. Large enough for a bathtub, a shower, a sink and a toilet. On the left side of the bed was bedside table with a lampshade sitting atop. At the far end corner of it, was a vanity mirror. Opposite to it, just a length away from the walk-in closet was instead of a sliding window like the previous two room, was actually a sliding door. She opened it and found out it was a balcony. Overlooking the other side of the whole complex. Louise gasped as she looked below, smile crawling on her face. 9th floor below her balcony was a massive infinity pool and she can clearly see a jacuzzi in it. The pool was lit and each corner has a post standing to light the whole area. Louise planned to go there, maybe tomorrow evening after she finished shopping. And with that set in mind, she went back inside and closed the balcony door.
