"Good am T. Kristoff and T. April. Just want to remind you of your Saturday duty, 8-12nn, wear pink summer shirt. Ms Del will drop by to open the Cashier"s office. I owe you one hundred pesos each for your lunch. Remember to eat together. God bless and CONGRATULATIONS!"

- T. Josie

Upon waking up, after turning off my alarm, I saw this message from an unregistered number. But based upon the same message, it came from Chill.

" Hello Mam, pakitext naman po sakin san ko kayo hanapin later:):)

Love,

Chillness :)"

Today feels like a normal weekday. I wake up, take a bath, and go to school. On the brighter side, it's good to know our duty is only until 12 noon. I am worried that T. Kristoff will be bored spending his half day with me in school.

While I'm on my way, I replied to Chill the details she has to know.

Me: "Goodmooorning, nasa bahay pa ko. Haha. 9180 corner mactan balagtas st. Integrated montessori center guadalupe nuevo, makati city. See you. Sabihin mo sa guard, mag iinquire ka. At gusto mo ako mag assist. Hahaha."

Chill: "Haha nag ot na nga ako para sakto hehe. Papunta ka na?"

Me: "Yup. On the way na ko sabi sayo saktong 8 ako dumadating dun haha."

Chill: "Wow di ka maxadong sakto girl nyan ano haha."

Me: "Hahaha. Eh. Ganun na nga :D"

Chill: "Di ko alam anung food . Haha bahala na :D"

Me: "Oh yeah. Bahala ka na. :)"

At first, I busied myself checking test papers while waiting for Chill. And T. Kristoff was busy expressing his disppointment of having a duty today,"such a waste of time", according to him.

Kuya Solomon went to the faculty and informed me there's someone looking for me. Of course. I was expecting her. I left T. Kristoff in the faculty and lead Chill in the office. We need to talk in private because T. Kristoff might be irritated if we stay in the faculty.

Chill brought Starbucks coffee and KFC macaroni salad for the two of us. We eat as we catch up for the lost years we weren't able to get news from each other. I gave her a planner. Andami naman kasi nun sa bahay. And I was thinking of something to give to her. Isang hamak at simpleng planner lang yun but she showed how much she appreciated it. Kaya love ko na love ko yung babaeng yun. Marunong kasi siyang maka appreciate ng mga simpleng bagay.

We talked about many things. Like friendship - it isn't easy to trust a person and find real friends. We figured out that we're friends because of what we have in common. We both love quiet moments and alone time but we also know how to make friends and adjust to the people around us. Ang hirap kasing magtiwala. Hirap na hirap ako. -_-

Inggit na inggit nga ako kasi mukhang easy lang yung job niya sa company niya ngayon sa BPO tapos triple ng sahod ko ang kinikita niya every other Friday.

BAKIT KASI AKO NAG TEACHER?

Sa totoo lang naman kasi, namimiss ko ang swelduhan sa dati kong trabaho - nung call center agent pa ko. Namamayat ako noon. Oo, pero namamayat rin naman ako ngayon.
