"Bea, are you ready?"
It's been two months since the second semester started and a year since I left London. I miss the London breeze.
From the day Jay left me in my flat, I haven't heard of him. I have no idea of his whereabouts, if he got home or not. Hindi ko na din naman sana maaalala kung hindi dahil dito sa katapat ko.
*About half a year ago*
I got in the advising room and saw this professor na akala ko girlfriend ni Jay noon. It turns out that she's going to be my thesis adviser. Pagkapasok ko pa lang, ang sama na ng tingin niya sa akin. Okay lang, mata naman niya mapapagod kakairap hindi yung akin.
"This will be my first time na mag-act as an adviser for a thesis paper but I'm hoping na sana you guys work well with me. This is the only group I'm handling, so makakapagfocus ako sa inyo."
She asked us of our intended topic and she easily approved with it. Hindi ko alam kung maganda lang talaga yung naisip namin na topic or papabayaan niya lang kami.
Napagusapan ng grupo na maghanap ng hospitals na papayag masilip kung paano ang kalakaran ng pera sa loob. Syempre, I'm going to take the easy but good way.
I called my dad and asked if may kakilala siyang may-ari ng hospital na papayag na maging example and center of attention sa thesis paper namin. Meron naman siyang naibigay agad. Isang private hospital sa Quezon. And that's it. I'm done with my part.
I did not go petiks on this paper. We're almost done naman na, I think. Eto na nga lang and the board review yung aasikasuhin ko, bakit di ko pa tututukan.
I also did not accept the job from SyncUK. Medyo off sa akin yung trabaho. They're asking me to be an actress for a PR stunt for one of their clients. Akala ko pa naman ako magiging taga-hire for the company dito sa Manila.
Sabi kasi nila, yung kliyente daw nilang yun baka matanggal na lang sa industry kasi halos wala na siyang media appearances. He's a singer, sikat sa UK but I have never heard of him.
They wanted me to appear as a friend but eventually be his partner. As per their stories, it seems like the singer is pretty lonely. He only have his step family with him and they're not close.
I really do wanted to help, but I don't want him to see me as someone paid to help him out. I want him to see me as a friend because I know how life can be depressing at times. At isa pa, baka naman hindi niya kailangan ng tulong ko. Mahirap namang ipilit ang sarili ko sa isang bagay na parehas naman kaming walang mapapala.
I may not have accepted the job, but I'm going to be meeting him. I'm still quite not sure when. I offered help to atleast get to know him.
The management would be setting us to meet up. An unexpected meet up. If things get better between us, then that's okay. All I want to do is to help, nothing more, nothing less.
It's going to be a challenging task, but please, go easy on me Mr. James Davidson.
