Pain of the Past (Completed)

22

After calling my mom to let them know I've arrived in New York, I arrange some of my things para di masyadong kalat, After doing my night care routine, I went to bed early dahil dinalaw na ako ng antok akala ko nga mahihirapan yung katawan kong mag-adjust dahil nasanay akong sa pilipinas pero dahil sa pagod nakatulog ako agad, nagpa alarm nalang ako ng 5 am para magising ako, dahil ayuko namang malate sa first day ko bilang intern.

Nang marinig kona yung tunog ng alarm clock ko dumiretso na ako ng baño para maligo, nag toothbrush narin ako, pagkatapos pumunta lang ako ng kusina para mag prepare ng breakfast, ng makakain na

I just wore a Green trouser and plain basic white tank top and green cashmere and to complete my look I just wore a white shoes to make sure, dahil baka papuntahin nila ako sa site or kung saan so it's better that I'm prepared..... And I just applied some simple makeup to enhance my beauty...

Nagbook lang ako ng cab papuntang WEISS/MANFREDI medyo malayo siya sa condo ko kaya tiis tiis lang talaga sa traffic mabuti nalang talaga maaga akung nagising ..

Pagkarating ko dumiretso sa na ako sa third floor building kung saan don ako na assign bilang intern students, I don't know what to do, but I have confidence in myself Kaya alam kung kaya ko tung lagpasan ang Araw nato..

Yun nalang yung sinabi ko sa sarili ko ng makarating na ako ng third floor at lumapit na don sa isang staff para mag tanong kung saan yung office ng head nila

"Hi good morning can I ask for something" tanong  ko don sa babae na nasa staff station nila " ahm where is the office of Ms. Olivia Harper? Tanong ko ulit

Nagtanong lang yung staff kung may appointment ba ako, at ng sinabi kung na meron may tinawagan lang siya sa telephone pagkatapos sinabihan lang niya ako na maghintay ng 10 minutes dahil nasa meeting pa daw si Ms. Olivia kaya naupo Muna ako sa couch nila at minamasdan ang magandang designs ng office nila

"Ahm Ms. Reese Celestine right" tanong nag isang babae nang makalapit sa akin at sinamahan ako papuntang office ni Ms.Olivia

Nang makarating na kami sa labas ng office nagpasalamat lang ako don sa staff at kumatok bago pumasok sa office ni Ms. Olivia

"Ahmmm good morning Ms. Olivia it's my pleasure to meet you" I said to her with a smile, diko mapigilang ma mangha sa design nang office niya sa subrang ganda

' hi Ms. Reese Celestine Perez... right " she said and I nodded as my response to her

"Take a set Ms. Reese" she said while pointing to the chair in front of her desk...."Based on what  I've  heard you came from the Philippines, your parents want you to do your internship here in New York."

"Yes, and I also want to do my internship internationally to further enhance my skills as an architecture student, and when I heard that I am assigned as an intern  here in your firm I am happy because I know that here, is where I can enhance the skills that I need as an architect.".. Nakangiting sabi ko sa kanya

"You know, Ms. Reese, you are an intelligent person, and I can see that you really love what you're doing." Yun nalang ang sinabi  niya kaya nung narinig ko yun galing mismo sa kanya mas lalo akung na inspire dito sa course ko

"It's an honor to hear that words coming from you ms. Olivia thank you Po"

"Can I ask the last question before you proceed from your work place?..."Is the profession of being an architect  is in your family?" Dagdag niyang sabi

"Ah to be honest,... no,.... we're actually a family of lawyers. I'm the only one who became interested in architecture. I don't even know how I developed my skills when it comes to painting,.designing and then one time when my mother asked me what I want when I  grow up...I told them that I want to become a famous architect,...They were surprised by what I said because, you know, we're in the field of lawyers but there's one of them who also aspired to become a famous architect someday....So when I entered college, they supported whatever course I wanted, and that was architecture." And that's the reason why I'm here now ,....being an intern students who wants to explore more ideas when it comes to architecture..

After the long conversation we had, tinawag niya na yung secretary niya para ihatid ako sa workplace ko..

Di nagtagal mas lalo kung naging close yung ibang Ka trabaho ko...ang saya lang dahil mainit nila akung tinanggap, ang iba nga Gina guide pa ako sa mga dapat gawin,....yung iba naman nagtanong lang kung saan ako galing...ahmm just like getting to know each other kumbaga

Nakangiti lang ako buong Araw habang nasa trabaho dahil unang araw palang may natutunan na ako, na alam kung magagamit ko rin kapag magiging professional architect na ako

Diko na namalayan yung oras at lunch break na pala, mabuti nalang tinanong ako nung kasama kung gusto ko daw bang sumabay sa kanila,...aarte paba ako kaya sinabi kung oo dahil maganda Rin namang kumain na may kasabay...hayssss namimis ko tuloy yung bruha kunga kaibigan na si kyline sa pilipinas...

Pagkatapos naming kumain, bumalik narin kami agad sa trabaho namin,..... hanggang sa uwian na ...nagbook lang ako ng cab dahil sala naman akung sasakyan di tulad ng mga kasama ko kaya medyo natagalan yung paghihintay ko dahil pahirapan din palang magbook ng cab dito..

"Girrrrrllllll my gosh bruha na mis na kita Wala ng mag lilibre sa akin ng pagkain" bungat agad ni kyline sa kabilang linya Ng sagutin ko yung tawag niya..

"Sorry wala ako diyan kaya matutu kang gumastos ng pera, mo wag puro sa libre ui nakakahiya ka akala mo naman di galing sa mayaman na pamilya

"San kaba ngayon bat ang ingay" reklamo niya

" I'm here at WEISS/MANFREDI waiting for a cab so that I can go home na"

"Sa WEISS/MANFREDI?....wait girl diba Isa yan sa pinaka sikat na architecture firm sa newyork?" Gulat na sabi niya

"Yes, WEISS/MANFREDI is indeed one of the most renowned architecture firms here in New York, known for the stunning buildings they have constructed. Their designs contribute significantly to the beauty of the cityscape"

"Taray makakasanaol kana lang talaga, internship kapa lang pero tingnan mo kung saan ka pinadala ng school base sa request ng mga magulang mo"

"Sos akala mo naman di rin maganda diyan kung saan siya na asign, girl AIDEA INCOPORATED is one of the famous architectural firm also in manila, yan yung second option ko, kung diyan lang din ako na assign..." I said while Im still here waiting for the cab that Ived book.
