#2: Strumming the Pain

Strumming 35

The following days have been exhausting. I spent my days filming for my new series, and sometimes, I'll attend meetings for my meet and greet. After days of no rest and just working, I finally had my rest days when weekends comes. I only have two days to rest, but this is already good than having none at all.

Yesterday, I spent the whole day sleeping and laying on my bed. I would just get up when I eat or drink, then I'll come back to my bed to sleep or watch a bit. And since I did nothing yesterday, I'm planning to have a productive day today.

I woke up early— not so early— to go to the gym. I just wore what I usually wear when working out and went out to go the gym here in my condominium building. The equipments here are high quality so there's no reason to go to other gyms. I even saw some of my acquiantance so I greeted them.

After an hour, natapos na rin akong mag-workout. I went back to my condo para doon na lang maligo. I didn't spend too much time on the shower, it just took me ten minutes. After that, I prepared my breakfast and since I had to maintain my figure, I prepared a healthy breakfast for myself.

Sitting on the couch and just casually eating my breakfast, I suddenly think about going to the mall. Right, I need to buy Kirk a shirt because of the mess I've caused. I already promised that I'll buy him a new one and I'm true to my words. So after finishing my breakfast, I changed my clothes and got ready to go out. And since I'm going out, I need to cover myself so no one would recognize me.

Should I text Maisie and tell her I'm going to the mall? The last time I went out to go the mall, she scolded me because I didn't tell her and some of the people who recognized me chased me. At the end... after minutes of debating with myself, I didn't tell her. I want to spend my time alone, sigurado akong sasamahan niya ako kapag sinabi ko sa kanya tapos magre-request pa siya ng security.

After putting a cap, lumabas na ako ng condo ko at dumiretso sa parking lot dahil nandoon ang kotse ko. I didn't cover up that much because I felt like I'll just attract more attention if I do so, they'll probably just get more curious. I just went to the nearest mall and by just looking at the parking lot, alam ko na kaagad na maraming tao. Nahirapan ako sa paghahanap ng parking slot, that's why.

I think it's also a good idea that I came here because I can just blend in with the people and there will be less chance that I would get recognize. Hindi ako gaanong mapapansin dahil maraming tao and that means I can peacefully roam around the mall to buy what I want and what I need.

I went to different botiques to shop for myself first and some of the people there recognized me. Thankfully, when I told them to keep it down... they did. Inasikaso nila ako habang pumipili ako ng damit na bibilhin ko. They even offered me an orange juice while waiting for the things I've requested. While looking at the orange juice, I remembered the mess I made. Damn!

"Here is it, Ma'am. It's a limited edition dress and it's personally the designer's favorite piece."

Judging by the price, it will be worth it. It's high quality and the dress is stunning. After minutes of thinking, I decided to buy it. I smiled at them before going out of the botique to go to the other one. Inalala ko rin kung ano'ng brand no'ng shirt ni Kirk so I could a buy a shirt there. Hindi naman white shirt ang bibilhin ko, iba para naman hindi sumama ang loob niya.
