I have just done working and I am here inside the mall. I was just strolling around looking for a dress that could fit for my friend's daughter's christening this coming Saturday. I will be one of the godmothers so I'm really required to attend, not to mention that she's really bugging me to go despite my busy schedule. And I don't have a choice but to go. I don't think it's the right time to come home after what happened 2 years ago.

I didn't know that my mind was preoccupied when the waiter served the food I ordered.

I am eating alone in a restaurant together with the happy people eating with their loved ones. I can't help but missed my family and friends who are very far from me.

I was about to finish my food when my phone rang. It was Ken, my boyfriend who's calling. "Hello hon" I answered. "Are you on your way home?" he asked. "Not yet. I forgot to buy a gift for Cassi. Don't worry I'll be quick." I told him. "Okay. I'll wait, I missed you." he sweetly said. "Bye! See you." as I ended the call.

Ken is my boyfriend for six months now. He has been a good boyfriend to me and a good friend since I came here in Davao.

I just wanted to escape my life in Manila that's why I came here and met Ken. He's the son's owner of one of the five star hotels here in Davao, his mom is also a chef and they also owned branches of restaurant from different places here in Mindanao and Visayas.

From then, we've became good friends and he helped me as I was adjusting my life here.

I worked as an accountant in a bank. When I started working, I gained friends and that also helped me in living here.

I am happy living a life like this, where you're free and there's no pressure.
