Chapter 16 - [Learning Tagalog]

I woke up early to jog. After jogging, I take out one coffee in the coffee shop Mason used to take me.

Well. Honestly, I miss him right now. I pulled a taxi.

"Gu Xin Condominium Building." and got in the taxi"

I just arrived. I got inside my condo and instantly take a bath.

I remember the books Ethan gave me yesterday.

I squat and started reading the books while wiping my wet hair.

"Ma-sa-ma, bad"

"Ma-sa-ya, happy"

"Ma-lung-kot, sad"

"Ma-ta-pang, brave"

"Ma-gan-da, pretty"

"Pang-ngit, ugly"

"Ta-gum-pay, succesful"

"A-ko, me"

"I-kaw, you"

"Ka-ibi-gan, friend"

"La-kad, walk"

"Tak-bo, run"

"A-lis, go"

"Ka-nin, rice"

"So-pas, soup"

"Pla-to, plate"

"Kot-che, car"

"Po-gi, handsome"

"Gu-tom, hungry"

Sentences

"Ma-hal ki-ta, I love you"

"Ang gan-da mo, You're pretty"

"Ang ba-it mo, You're kind"

I repeat it all. From the top again and again and again until all I remember is I was sleeping.

Ringgggg... Calling Daddy...

I was awake because of the music.

Oh my GOD! Daddy is calling me.

I picked up my phone and answered Dad's call

"Hello Dad?" I said.

"How are you?" he asked

"Kamusta?" I said.

"What are you saying Anastacia?" he said.

"Ah I am tutoring myself about tagalog. How are you is kamusta in Tagalog. Sorry Dad. I was just carried away"

"Oh I see. So is everything alright?" he asked.

"Yes Dad! Today Mr. Ethan Cy CIO of Cy Company. Soon to be the manager is the one who's handling my papers. He's going to review it today"
