Ang kulit naman nila. Ang aga pa eh. 10 in the morning pa lang naman. Geeez. And another phone call came.
*sigh deeply*
"Yes elle?" I'm pissed pero di ko naman pwedeng sigawan tong bestfriend ko. She's too kind for my morning bitchyness.

"We have been calling you nonstop! Where are you? Gumagaya ka ni ki yoj eh."  She's such a nagger you see. 

"I'll be there Nel. For sure naman wala pa diyan si yoj. Yun na lang kulitin mo baka maunahan ko pa yun." I answered with all the seriousness I could muster.

"Be sure. Be here in 30 mins. Don't you dare have an excuse. Ang lapit lang ng pad mo dito. You could walk."

"Nah-uh. But I'll be there. Order my food. You know my taste." Siya kasi ang halos kasing ugali ko sa group.

"Just get your lazy ass here."  I could tell that she's more pissed off than me. 1 hour, 30 minutes na kasi siya naghihintay. We are supposed to have a breakfast date with our friends but I guess brunch na to.

And that starts my morning. I got out of bed. Pumps the speaker with beats then straight to shower. 15 mins for it another 10 for my all out style then I'm ready to go.

I know you are wondering about me. I'm Zej Corporal. An Aries.

I immediately park my car outside a native looking cafe. This cafe is in the heart of the city but the vibe is so primitive yet elegance is there and I'm proud to say that it's mine.

"Good morning Ma'am! You look stunning today." Bati sakin ni Jas, one of my employees. Magaling talagang mambola ang isang to kaya paborito ng mga customers.

"Hi Jas. Thanks for the compliment. Although I already know that. Are they all here?" She laugh with my retort. Kilala na kasi nila ko. Di ako nadadala ng ganyan. I have confidence on my self like how all of us supposed to feel.

"Yes po. They are on the usual." Gusto ko pa sanang tumuloy sa loob ng office pero baka ipagiba na tong cafe ko nung apat.

We have our usual spot here especially made for us. Kita dito ang garden ng cafe.

"Hello ladies and gorgeous." I greeted them with my big smile while sitting on my sit pero mukhang di effective. They are looking at me with disgusto.

"Kami lang maganda dito at dapat di kami pinaghihitay. Di ka ba napasahan ng memorandum ng kagandahan na big NO yun?" That's Euqi there. See. Ang taray niya lang.

"Mas maganda naman ako kaya nga nakapaghintay kayo." Iniirapan ko siya pero ang gaga tinaasan lang ako ng kilay.

"Pinapasa ko na sayo ang korana bakla. From this day onward ikaw na ang NOT-most punctual sa atin! I'm so proud of you." With matching punas luha pa si Yoj habang tinataas niya ang korona niya kuno at nilalagay sa ulo ko.

"I love you Philippines!" Kaway ng pang Miss. Universe. Pero naudlot yun kasi kinurot na ko ni nel.

"Pinaghintay mo kami ng matagal kaya ilibre mo kami. Ang mahal ng oras namin.Ngayon ka na nga lang magpapakita samin nagpalate ka pa." I know all them is so busy with their own schedules and I felt a liltle bad na pinaghintay ko sila. Pero okay lang yun. Pambawi sa pang iindian nila sakin nung mga teenagers pa kami.

"If I know. Kanina niyo pa nilulugi cafe ko." Ganito talaga tong mga to pero mahal ko mga yan kahit mga baliw.

"Pasalubong namin?" Diana habang nilalahad kamay nia sakin na naghihingi.

"I miss you too guys! Sobra sobra. Lagi ko nga kayong iniisip kung kumusta na kayo eh." Pinalungkot ko ng bongga ang boses ko.

"Di yan effective girl kaya pasalubong namin."-euqi habang tuloy lang sila sa pagkain. Ang bad talaga nila. Binabawi ko na. Di ko sila bestfriend.

"Nasa kotse. Pampawala poise kung bibitbitin ko." Nag start na ko kumain. Nahalata ata nila na nagtatampo ko. Yinakap na lang nila ko bigla.

"Namiss ka talaga namin gagita ka. Ayaw sana namin magdrama but you are so nakakainis."-yoj

"Sige na. Awat na. Di na ko makahinga." True friends. Pagkatapos kumain nagkwentohan lang kami ng kung ano ano when the topic came into love life. Ikakasal na kasi si Diana sa long time boyfriend nito. We've known each others love life pero ngayon. Ako lang ang di nila alam ang kwento. I've been gone for 5 years.

"Ikaw Zej? Kelan ka mag k-kwento? Or kelan ka ulit mag l-love life?" All eyes on me. Ako naman ngayon ang hot seat. I just shrug it off.

"I dunno. Open naman ako for the relationship pero wala naman nagkakamali." Laughibg with my own answer. Totoo naman eh. Marami naman nagpaparamdam and mga eligible bachelors pa.

"I have an idea. Na alala ko lang sa instagram mo before. You like reading and sharing about zodiac signs. What if you try to date someone with different zodiac signs?" Ang talino talaga nito ni Yoj. Natahimik kami. Actually thats a good idea. I could actually try it. Naexcite tuloy ang lola niyo.

"Are you sure that's a good idea? I know that look Zej and I don't think na makakatulong yun sayo."

"That's fine Diana. I actually like it." I gave them my bungisngis look. I'm happy on how our convo had gone.

Natapos na ang brunch namin pero iniisip ko parin ang suggestion ni yoj. Paano ko kaya yun sisimulan? I think I should call mister know it all.

"Gusto mo ba talaga yang gagawin mo? Kasi kung ako tatanongin mo. Ayaw ko ng balak mo. You are not even sure kung ano ugali ng mga yan eh" Mali ata naging disisyon kong kausapin ang taong to.  By the way. Meet Xane(sane). He is my boy-friend. A slash or bar means a lot. I dont consider boys as bestfriend not in my lifetime. Wag ako ang utuin niyo. Ilang drama na nabasa at napanuod kong ganyan. One of the two if not both will fall, kaya kayo? Kapit lang mga bes.

"Yes. I want it and it's exciting. Don't you think? Besides. Win-win naman ang situation eh and it's totally safe. Di naman ako mag d-date ng kung sino sino lang. We are going to search and I know you are the perfect person to call for it" Di niyo lang mahahalata sa kanya pero isang elite ang gagong to. Grabe nga lang kung maka kontra kala mo naman mamamatay ako.

"It's still a no zej. Iba na lang hingin mo." Nakakapikon na talaga to. Gagamitin ko na lang secret weapon ko. I made a very serious face and tone.

"You still have a debt to pay Zane Ferrer. I thought you don't take back what you already promised." Yan tuloy napilitan akong mang guilt trip. But I sound so cool on that. Ayaw ko man sana gamitin to eh but it's needed.

"Okay fine. I'll send you tomorrow the files para maisalansa ko ng maayos kung sino ang mga eligible and safe na tao dun." He said with a heavy tone. Ayaw niya talaga pero that's fine. Atleast napapayag ko siya. Its enough for now.

"Very well then. Sabi na nga ba di mo ko kayang tiisin . *evil laugh* at wag mo na isalansa. I will choose them my self or pwede naman na sabay tayo pumili. Para fair." Kinunutan niya lang ako ng noo. Na ikinatawa ko ulit.

Wag kayo mag assume diyan. May fiancee yang isang yan. Maldita nga kesa sakin kaya bet na bet ko.

"See you tomorrow in-xane." Pang asar kong tawag sakanya. He hates tha nickname. Nag walk out na siya ng office ko.

Umalis na din ako sa office nang mag hahating gabi na. Operation Zodiac Love starts. I need a lot of beauty rest but rest is such a boredom so let's go clubbing.
