Her Life & Dream

Chapter 4

3:10 PM. Mukhang isang araw na naman ang icecelebrate ni Dad ha? well, as you can guess, napakalaking NO na naman ang natanggap ko sa 3 ko ng napuntahan na mga couture. For obvious reason of course. I am inside my car now, holding a folder with my resume. Hawak ko rin sketch pad ko. Nasa harap ako ng PRINCESS K COUTURE. Bago lang to, hindi man sobrang bagong couture pero 3 buwan pa lang to dito. Pero may mga branches daw to sa Europe. Recommended by my friend Kristaine. Subukan ko lang daw. Hiring daw kasi. Okay, let's push our luck. Hindi naman siguro to naabot ng itim na usok mula kay Daddy , bago pa eh. So I decided na pumasok na. Nalilito pa ako kung dadalhin ko ba sketch pad ko o hindi. Dinala ko nalang.

Excuse me Ms.-Shanny

Sabi ko sa babae sa may counter.

Yes?-Babae

Nakangiti niyang sabi

Ahm, I'm Shanny Julia Vasa. I would like to apply for a job.-Shanny

Nakangiti kong sabi sa kanya.

What particular job Ma'am?- Babae

Fashion Designer-Shanny

Napanhiti siya nung sinabi ko yun.

Okay Ma'am, do you have your resume with you?-Babae

Yes,-Shanny

Sabi ko sabay abot sa kanya. Ilang sandali pa pinasunod na niya ako sa kanya pero pinaiwan niya ang bag ko sa may upuan bawaldaw kasi yun dalhin. Iniwan ko na rin ang sketch pad dun, baka di rin tingna, hindi naman yun sinaggest ng babae na dalhin eh. Umakyat kami sa second floor. 2 story kasi. Pero hindi siya actually couture with all the garments, parang office lang siya. Pumasok siya tas ilang sandali pa ay lumabas at pinapasok ako. Pagpasok ko sa loob ay may isang babae na medyo kaedad ng Mama ko ang nandun.

So you are Shanny Julia Vasa?- Babae

Yes Ma'am. -SHANNY

sabi ko habang nakatayo pa.

Please sit down.

Sabi niya tas umupo na rin ako.

Thank you Ma'am.-Shanny

I'm Mrs. Klaren Jose. I am the HR of this couture.-Klaren

Pakilala nung babae. Nginitian ko lang siya.

So tell me, why I should hire you.-Klaren

Deretsahan niyang tanong. Ni hind man lang niya tiningnan ang ibang lages ng resume ko.

You should hire me Ma'am because I think I have competence you needed for the job. I graduated from University of Winsly in France 7 years ago. During my stay there I was given a chance to dress models from France Next Top Model. I got good grades from college. And even got a chance to make a couple of garments for the Royal Queen of England. I didn't work in any couture since I came back here but doesn't mean I stop doing what I like, which is making garments. I made the wedding gown of my bestfriend. And a couple of costume for some occasion.-Shanny

I see, so why you didn't stay in France, it seems that you were promising when you were in college?- Klaren

My Mom ask me to be back here, due to the request of my father. Since I came back here, I am managing a restaurant and at the same time a chef there-Shanny

Is it boring?-Klaren

The work in the restaurant? No not all. If you are asking why I push for this in my age of 28 even though I have a good job. Well the answer is, this is my passion. And it's what I really wanted to do in the first place. -Shanny
