Sorry about the subject.
You know I hate being called like that. Let's not talk about that.
Grabe Becca, you really pushed Uncle to his limits. And Lauren? I think he is really pissed with you. Akala ko ba may pact kayo na habang nasa internship ka ay hindi mo siya pupuntahan o susundan? You're really something. Two thumbs up sayo.
Sorry for the late reply. Kahapon kasi ang rehearsal ng wedding at ngayong hapon gaganapin. My cousin and her fiancé? They are mushy. Halos di ko mapigilan ang masuka sa PDA moments nila. Not that I hate them, in fact their story is great. Para sa isang romanticist na tulad mo.
This is short. I wanted to Skype you. Xoxo.

Mornings here at Illinois are somewhat a crisp air of dried leaves.
Dahil na rin siguro sa fall season. Hindi ko nga ba maintindihan sa pinsan ko kung bakit ganitong panahon nya pa nakuhang magpakasal.
Kalagitnaan pa lang ng Oktubre pero nanunuot na ang lamig. Sanay naman ako dahil sa Paris mas malamig pa kesa dito ang panahon. It's refreshing to see how my relatives got together for this kind of ceremony.
I lazily sat at the nook of the café habang inaantay ang order ko, trying to smother the sketch I made for my portfolio. Eto ang sinasabi ko kay Becca na "almost my break".
The company asked me to submit a portfolio for them. Not because requirement nila kundi dahil hiniling iyon ng isa sa mga kliyente. They even offered to pay me. My last project was for the relative of the royal family. I never bothered to ask whose royalty. I designed a labyrinth garden, traditional with a touch of modernization ang theme.
Patok sakanila ang ideya ko dahil isang art philanthropist ang anak ng mga ito. I declined their offer to work with them since mahihirapan ako sa thesis kapag pinagsabay ko iyon.
The internship was fun lalo na at may mga bago akong natutunan. Nakawala din ako sa shell ko. Renaissance garden and all. Seeing new techniques and applying that is very satisfactory. Paris graced my eyes with enthusiasm. Kahit sa country side ay makikita mo ang urban arts.
The bracelet like buzzer vibrated. T'was given to those who were waiting for their orders.
Iniisip ko pa rin ang experience ko sa Paris habang papalapit sa counter ng mabunggo ko ang lalaki. Natapon sakanya ang ice cold coffee.
"Goodness Simone! Pati ba naman dito?? "
"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. "
I keep on brushing my hands sa shirt nya na natapunan ng kape. I wasn't on my mind, ni hindi ko naisip na baka hinihipuan ko na sya.
"Stop it!"
he snapped and continued to curse.
Kukuha sana ako ng tissue sa table ng lagpasan nya na lang ako at iwanan sa Cafe.
"I'm Sorry!"
I hope he heard that.
But I definitely heard him calling me Simone.
"That Airport guy!"
suddenly shrieking dahil ngayon ko lang na realize. I remembered his name last time pero nakalimutan ko na naman.
Goodness, me and my bad memory.
"Mallory T? "
someone from the counter shouted. Still rattled with what happened ay nakalimutan ko pati ang order ko.
"Coming! "
