CHAPTER 1

Mae hand me the poster and placard of ALE, I raised my brows. Kahit naka-roll ang poster ay alam ko na ang laman nito. I edited it for her few weeks ago dahil sabi niya pa urgent project daw. Papaimpress lang pala ay dinamay pa ako. It's for her someone special kasi. I'm taking information design but I also do arts like painting and even event photography.

Ako na nagedit ako pa magpapafansign? poker face kong tanong kay Mae. I'm actually teasing her.

Please do me this favor, ulit? Pretty please? Mae pleaded. She knows that when I do my job, I do it well. Kaya ginandahan ko rin talaga ang pagkakaedit. She is not a game person kaya alam ko na hindi rin para sa kanya 'to. Pero hindi naman ako tsismosa, kaya di na ako nagbother na magtanong. Mae will share for sure when she's ready.

'Tomorrow is also your appointment Jho ' I reminded myself. Compared to the fansign event, I should have known how important tomorrow's interview for me. But I can't share it to Mae because I know she will definitely help me and I don't like it. I feel like I have to do it on my own. No excuse came up in my mind and it leaves me no choice but to accept her request.

All I did was nod.

You're the best as always Jho! Mae hugged me and ran towards her van. Imanage ko nalang oras ko bukas. Event time says 9 am, hopefully before 2 pm I'm all done.

I walk upstairs with Mae's placard, poster of ALE and the ticket she gave me to the venue. She was also an Atenean but she transferred on her 2nd year because she changed her course and Ateneo don't offer it. Di ko alam pano ang process sa fansign event dahil never pa ako naka-attend. I don't have time for that at isa pa, I often socialize. I enjoy myself as my company. Ofcourse Mae's an exception because she's my friend. But even Mae know my limit and when to leave me alone.

Not because I am studying in Ateneo ay mayaman ako. Tito Mau, Mae's dad is sponsoring my studies because of my late father. Tito and Dad were bestfriends in college. They both graduated from Ateneo. I met him and Tita Jodi at Dad's funeral. They are so kind and took me in. Nirecommend nila na sa Ateneo rin kami mag-aral ni Mae. And even they told me I don't have to pay for anything, I still asked them to consider me as their scholar because I can't afford to have another help from them for free. Ang laking tulong na noong ipinalibing nila si Dad.

At least being a scholar is a better term and I get to pressure myself as well with my studies. Tito Mau and Tita Jodi are both engineers. They allow me to help with the reports and schedule. Typical scholar thing and I make sure na I do my part well. Bukod sa ayoko na may masabi sila, I'm just very grateful to them for everything. I lay on my bed as I closed my eyes to sleep - guess I have an extra job to do tomorrow.

But I might have done something so bad in my past life because luck is not on my side today. I woke up late because the same f*cking reason. But I pull myself together dahil may lakad pa ako.

HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO GET THIS DONE BEFORE 2?! IM STILL OUTSIDE THE ARENA WHICH MEANS THOUSANDS ARE AHEAD OF ME! You can book a cab later Jho. But for sure it's traffic especially on days like this? Or should I let this go and just focused with my appointment?
