"Good Morning, Amy." me while sipping at my coffee and doing the paper works I haven't finished yesterday at the office. Ganito talaga ako, kapag hindi ko pa natatapos yung trabaho ko, inuuwi ko lagi sa bahay. And thanks to my coffee, I didn't sleep during my work overnight.

"Oh my God, Candice. Don't tell me you're up since last night?" Amy approached me and sat beside me at the table I'm working on.

"I am." I said. She wrinkled her nose at me.

"You totally looked terrible." she said and bite at her bread. "You definitely need to sleep after this shits you're working on."

I leaned on the chair and fixed my eyeglasses. "I'm done. Thank God." I sighed heavily. After a countless hours of working through these papers, I am finally done. Ang sarap sa pakiramdam na makatapos ng trabaho after realizing you really worked hard for it. I glance at Amy. "And no, I can't sleep. May tatlong oras nalang ako para pumasok sa trabaho. Siguro I should fix myself nalang para magmukha parin akong presentable sa office." She rolled her eyes for me.

She sipped at her coffee I made for her earlier. "Alam mo hindi ko talaga maintindihan e, why do you still work at that telecommunication company? As far as I know kasi you wanted to be a well known famous writer, pero nagtitiis ka naman sa kompanyang hindi mo naman gusto."

I smiled bitterly. "I still want to pursue my dreams of course, but if this is what meant for me, why not embrace it right? Ang mahalaga naman, may trabaho parin ako hanggang ngayon."

She stood up and go through the kitchen. "Blah blah blah Ms. Cromwell. If I were you, I will definitely sign a resignation letter and start to write a story."

Napatawa nalang ako kung pano siya maging supportive sa dream kong maging book writer. Amy is my roommie and my college bestie, magkasama na kaming tumira since we graduated. Magkaiba kami ng work pero malapit lang sa condo namin. We decided to get a condo pero hati naman kami sa expenses. Mas less hassle kasi kapag condo yung kinuha namin.

"And oh by the way." lumingon siya sakin habang may toothbrush​ pa siya sa mouth niya. And yes, we do these kind of things dahil kaming dalawa lang naman nakatira dito, only lazy people do these kind of work tho. "Sam messaged me, she said she wanna go hangout with us since it's been weeks now since we hang out together. Fuck busy schedule." she said and continued brushing her teeth.

I stood up and started to clean the mess I've done since last night. "I don't know, it depends on my busy schedule. You guys can hang out together if I'm not gonna make it." Sabi ko at pumunta sa room ko habang dala dala yung laptop and papers ko.

"Killjoy!" she shouted.

"Haha I know!" I shouted back and shut the door behind.

Nilagay ko sa lamesa yung mga gamit ko at pagkatapos ay humiga ako sa kama facing the ceiling, I took off my eyeglasses and put it on my bed side table.

I think I'm just gonna get a nap before rushing to the work. I'm fucking hella tired.

"OMG Candice wake up!" I heard someone's shaking me and shouting my name. I slowly opened my eyes, I saw Amy.

"Amy, what's up?" Sabi ko habang inaantok pa. Ugh, my head hurts because of tiredness.

"Hindi ka ba papasok? You only have thirty minutes to go to work! You'll be late." Amy said which make me sat down my bed like a flash. Napatingin ako sa wall clock. Oh shit, sabi ko nap lang e, napatagal ata yung pahinga ko fuck. I need to hurry up. Lagot ako sa boss ko nito, lagi pa naman akong late nitong mga nakaraang araw. And it also takes 15 minutes from here papunta sa office ko ugh.
