CHAPTER 7
JOB HUNTING

          FOR FIVE days, I prepared myself for my job hunting. I already made my resume and some necessary documents for the application. All I need now is to find a job. This activity is very foreign to me. Atalias didn't ever experience to be a rug rat, except for me. Nakaupo ako ngayon sa isang high-chair dito sa Oppa Cafe. It's a Korean Coffee Shop here in Cebu. I started to love this shop because of the bubbly and cheerful ambiance of the place. May free wifi rin dito. You can easily access to the  internet.

I used the phone that Heiron gave me. Napagtanto kong napakahalaga ng ganitong cellphone. Especially when you're finding a job. I googled some stores or fast-food chains that are hiring. Nakita kong nangangailangan ng mga service crews ang ilang fast food chain. May nakita rin akong shop na nangangailangan ng sales lady. I'm kinda picky when it comes to these things. Ayoko sa lahat ay ang maging mabait sa mga costumer kahit nakakagago na ang mga ugali nila. Just like a cashier or a sales lady. You always need to impress them with a pleasing personality. This is for the sake of their reputation and good service, I know. Pero sa ugali kong ito? I can't handle bullshits.

I am attending my classes even though I am quite busy preparing my stuff. Pinagbawalan na kasi ako ng magaling kong 'boyfriend'. After school, we always date and hang out as what we agreed. Akala ko'y magiging masaya at nakaka-enjoy ang mga date na iyon. But it turned out bad. Palagi kaming nag-aaway dahil sa mga maliliit na bagay. Just like ordering our meal. He wanted a freaking chicken burger while I only wanted a regular one. Nakakabobo siya minsan eh. Hindi naman siya ang kakain. There are also times in the grocery. We once bought his groceries that is good for a month. Nauubusan na kasi siya ng stocks ng mga pagkain. He picked a cereal while I suggested to just have pancakes every morning. Nag-away ulit kami. We ended up buying both. Such a dork.

"Here's your oreo pizza ma'am!" Maligayang aniya ng waitress. I beamed and sipped my coffee jelly. Inilapag niya sa lamesa ang aking inorder na pizza. Natakam kaagad ako dahil sa itsura nito. This is my first time eating this kind of pizza. Kumuha ako ng isang slice at kinagatan ito. Ohmaygad. It tastes good!

"Enjoying your day alone, huh?" Napatalon ako sa gulat nang may sumulpot sa harapan ko. Nakita ko ang naka wayfarers na Heiron habang nakataas ang kilay. He is currently wearing a blue sleeves na tinupi hanggang siko. He paired it with a brown shorts and shoes from Louis Vuitton. Talk about class. I frowned and continued scrolling on Google.

"I told you last morning that I am finding a job." He scoffed and picked a slice of my pizza.

"Hey!" Huli na ng mapigilan ko siya dahil nakagatan na niya ito. He nodded and ate it all.

"You should buy your own food, mister! Or else I'll file a case-" Humalakhak siya at kumuha pa ng isang slice.

"Ng ano? What kind of case, baby?" I gulped. Fvck. I should have not mentioned about filing some case. I bit my tongue and cleared my throat.

"It's a joke. Chill." Pagpapalusot ko at ibinigay na ang lahat ng atensyon sa paghahanap. I heard his dramatic sigh. Inagaw niya sa akin ang hawak kong coffee jelly. Natigil ulit ako. Dammit! Ano bang problema ng lalaking ito?!

"You have the money and all! But wtf? That is my food!" Tinuro ko ang aking coffee jelly na ngayon ay sinisimsim na niya. I used that cup for God's sake. Tapos linawayan niya? Yuck.

"Hush babe. Maghanap ka na lang ulit diyan." Sumalubong kaagad ang kilay ko. The guts of this man. Napailing ako at nagsimula ulit. I checked a website from a company here in Cebu. Malaki ito base sa mga pictures na ipinakita. May mga nakalagay na mga requirements. They are hiring 18-22, female. Pwede rin iyong hindi pa naka-graduate basta may pleasing personality. Wait, what is the name of the company? I was about to scroll down when he interrupted.
