The Love Project (Completed)

Project 1

Well I just met a cute guy at a bar. He's really handsome and pretty interesting as well. How did it all start? Here. That morning Pie and Kate wanted me to go with them to the bar they usually go.

"Guys, I'm not in the mood. Ayoko, hindi ako pupunta."

"Vivien! Come on! Minsan lang 'to. Next week magiging busy na tayo!" Sigaw ni Kate sa akin sabay tingin kay Pie para humingi ng tulong.

"You know why I hate going to bars." Sabi ko.

"This is no fun at all. Don't be such a KJ, Viv." Baling ni Pie sa akin.

Pilit pa rin sila ng pilit sa akin. They want me to go to tonight's party at Central which I have no plan on going. I know what exactly is their plan at alam kong hindi ko 'yun magugustuhan.

Well, gusto lang naman nila akong ipakilala sa mga lalaki doon. Sa mga friends ng boyfriend nila or kung sino trip nila ipakilala sa akin. Para naman daw magkaboyfriend na ako. Ako nalang kasi ang walang boyfriend sa amin.

It's not like no boyfriend sice birth ako and hindi naman ako nagmamadali. Besides I don't need one. I can cope up with everything naman kahit na wala akong boyfriend. Kahit na ayaw ko nang maging 5th wheel nila minsan.

"Sige na..girls night out lang naman. Viv?"

I know that this is not just simply girls night out but in the end, I said okay but I have a condition,

"Fine. I'll go, okay? Just stop introducing boys to me. Alam niyo naman wala kayo mapapala dyan." I said, defeated by them.

Ang hirap talaga kung nasa isang bahay lang kayo nakatira ng mga kaibigan mo. At first, yes, masaya kasi magkakasama kayo. Pero hindi ka makakaligtas sa mga ganitong situation. Normally, pinapatay ko lang ang phone ko and they can't reach me. Pero ngayon, do I even have a choice? No.

"We promise!" Sabi nila at tinaas pa 'yung right hand nila. I doubt they'll keep that promise but they're my friends hindi ko rin sila matiis.

"Yeah, anyway, lahat naman ng lalaki sa bar mga babaero." Ani Pie at umirap.

I smell bitterness. We hate guys na madalas tambay sa bar. Ang yayabang kasi! Hindi naman ganun kagwapuhan kung umasta. Most of them even pretend to be cool guys.

Hindi ko kasi trip 'yung mga lalaking nakikilala ko sa party. Kasi naman kung hindi jerks, pervs naman, minsan mas feeling pa sila sayo.

Hindi ko alam kung bakit after ng ex-boyfriend ko hindi na ulit ako nagkaboyfriend. Am I cursed or what? I don't know.

I mean maganda naman ako and you can't say that I'm brainless kasi DL ako sa university na pinapasukan ko. And yet, those girls na, you know, not-so-fair gets to have a super hot and loyal boyfriend.

Life is really unfair? Especially girls like us. Nagiba na ba talaga ikot ng mundo ngayon? Type na ng mga guys 'yung exotic face? Ugh. Hindi ko talaga maintindihan!

Napapaisip tuloy ako kung anong problema sa akin. Wala naman akong maisip na mali. I'm not saying na perfect ako pero I'm above average.

Fine, maybe may mali nga. Just a little..a little bit of attitude. Aaminin ko, mahilig ako manlait at magtaray pero lahat naman ng tao ganon! Chaka kung gusto ka talaga ng isang tao tatanggapin nila lahat ng mali sayo. At kung hindi man, it's their loss, not mine.

"We promise."

I personally believe that promises are really meant to be broken. Lalo na pag itong dalawang kaibigan ko ang nagsabi.

They are the main reason why I don't believe in promises anymore. Every single time.

Nakaupo ako sa stool habang inaantay 'yung order kong margarita. At kitang kita ko kung paano nila sinira ang promise nila sakin.
