I am Architect Eryna Llanelli Chryses.

I travel a lot. Witnessing the grandiose and massive facades of not only Gothic Architecture. . . but also the Early Christian, ‌ Byzantine, ‌ Romanseque, ‌ Medieval, ‌and Modern Architecture.

Many buildings stayed exactly as they were; others became ruins; some underwent renovations; and some were still under construction for an unknown amount of time.

Those who stare at you and pass judgement on you are not the bearers of your life. You're the one in charge of it.

Just like those structures, It's you who will decide what you will become: Remain drowning because of pain. Let yourself turn into rust because you can't move forward. Learn everyday as you construct for what you are gonna become.

Never listen to them and just keep on going. You'll figure it out, just as I did.

Mabilis kong inayos ang mga pinamili nang naihatid iyon sa penthouse. My dog wagged its tail on me. Tila ba nagpapasalamat na nakauwi na ako.

"Thank you for waiting, Ice!" I happily spat when I opened the door and he went to me in an instant.

"I bought your clothes and needs!" Kausap ko na parang bata siya. Inalu ko agad siya at kinarga. He's so hyper! Gutom ka ba, huh?

Binuksan ko ang dog food at nilagyan ang bagong biling bowl niya. Tinabihan ko rin iyon ng tubig niya. Mabilis niyang nilantakan iyon. Right, he's as hungry as me. I chuckled at my thought. Bakit ko ba kinakausap ang sarili?

I stood up and went to the kitchen. Gagawan ko ng fruit salad si Eron. Isa-isa kong kinuha ang prutas at kumuha ng cream sa naayos ko nang pinamili.

I sliced it into bite size and put it in a bowl. Hinalo ko at nilagyan ng cream at kung ano-ano pang pampalasa. Nang tikman ko'y sakto naman ang lasa kaya napangiti ako. He'll like this for sure. . . ang sarap eh!

Saglit kong nilagay iyon sa freezer at nagshower muna, I feel dry. Hindi ko matino ang nararamdaman. Minsan sobrang nilalamig ako, minsan naman pakiramdam ko ang lagkit ko.

Maybe it's because of the weather, hindi pa nasasanay. Sanay ako sa Italya pero sa sobrang lamig ng lugar na'to, hindi.

Napasapo ako sa noo nang mapagtantong nakalimutan kong bumili ng damit na maayos. All I have here is my work fits. Pati dress ay wala akong dala, ang laman lang ng maleta ko ay mga damit pangtrabaho- what am I even thinking when I was packing my things back in the Philippines?

Lumiwanag ang mukha ko nang makita ang isang pares ng damit. It was a red wine lace satin sleepwear. Mamatay naman yata ako sa lamig nito, but my unit has heater so it's alright.
