Nasa labas na ako ng airport ng makita ko ang signage ng Pangalan ko. Ito na ang sundo ko. He travelled alone. Mabilis lang naman yung interview, tomorrow morning he will interview an international actor after that vacation mode na siya.

Sir Donny Pangilinan?

Yes, nakangiti pa akong tumango.

Sir Filipino po ako nakangiti nitong pagpapakilala.

Ay ganun ba? kahit saan talaga sa mundo may Filipino sa isip isip ko.

Agad nitong kinuha ang bagahe niya at linagay sa trunk ng sasakyan.

Sakay na po kayo sir.

Okay sige. Salamat po.

Habang bumabyahe naisipan kong makipag kwentuhan.

Ano po pangalan niyo?

Gary po sir.

Matagal ka na po dito?

Mag lilimang taon na po sir. sagot nito.

So taxi driver po kayo dito?

Ayy hindi po. Sa hotel po ako nag tatrabaho. All around, minsan taga sundo ng kagaya niyo po sir, minsan taga tour kahit na ano po.

Talaga? Filipino may ari?

Ay opo, mababait sila kaya tumagal na din ako. Sila po yung may ari ng Consuelo Hotel.

Swerte po kayo sa kanila at swerte din sila sayo.

Ayy ako po ang swerte sa kanila. Kada taon dalawang beses ako nakakauwi sa Pilipinas, libre po pagkkwento nito may kasama pang baon.

Marami pa silang napagkwentuhan kaya hindi ko namalayan dumating na pala kami.

Sir andito na po tayo. Ako na po bahala sa baggage niyo. Mauna nalang po kayo sa loob nakangiting

It is a 10 floor building turned Hotel.

Consuelo Hotel. Very nice interior. May pagka homey ang vibe pero sophistacated pa din ang dating at ambiance.

Agad akong lumapit sa front desk.

Good morning sir!  What can I do for you? Do you have a reservation?

Good morning. Yes, Here's my ID.

Are you Mr. Donny Pangilinan?  tanong nito sa kanya.

Yes..

Okay kindly wait sir.

May tinitipa ito sa computer kaya naghintay nalamang ako.

You are booked for two days sir?

Huh? two weeks.. sagot ko.

hmm, there might be something wrong with your booking date sir, it says here you only booked for two days.

What?!
okay wait.. Can you please extend my stay for two weeks?
baka nagkamali ang manager ko sa pag bobook ng hotel niya. Tatawagan ko mamaya sa isip isip ko.

Sorry sir, it's peak season and right now were fully booked unless someone cancels there booking but i highly doubt that.

But, can you atleast transfer me to another hotel?

Ill see what can I do sir.

In this Area in LA, hotels are always fully booked by this season.

If it's alright can i talk to your manager? the driver told me the owner is a Filipino.

Oh okay sir, yes She will be around in just hour sir. And she's a Filipina nakangiting sagot nito sa kanya.

Okay ill wait.

Will you take your two days reservation sir?

Yes please, i have an early appointment tomorrow.

Oh alright sir, do you have a car service? we can provide one for you.

that would be a great help thank you.

Okay, thank you so much.

Our bellboy will assist you to your room sir. I might give you a ring when the manager arrives is it okay?

Okay thank you.

May dalawang araw pa naman ako para maghanap ng ibang hotel kung wala talaga, or he might call Timo. They have a place here in LA ang alam ko.

Nakatulugan ko na ang pag iisip, it was a long tiring travel. Nagising nalang ako sa tunog ng telepono.

Sorry to disturbed you sir but the Manager is here. Would you like to talk to her?

Yes please..

Hello sir Mr.. Mr. Pangilinan? boses ng babae sa kabilang linya.

Hello.. Good afternoon, your a Filipino right?

Yes sir..

Look i need your help, nagkamali ata ang manager ko for my hotel booking. Supposedly dapat 2 weeks ang stay ko. But two days lang daw ang nareflect sa records.

Hmmm im sorry for that sir, pero punuan din kasi ngayon dito since it's summer time. ill try to help you look for another hotel.

Bakit parang pamilyar ang boses nito? sa isip isip ko.. was it Kassy?

Kassy? tawag ko.

Ha?

Oh im sorry akala ko ikaw yung kakilala ko. You sound like her.

Okay sir, yun lang po ba ang concern niyo?

Yes and i need a car service tomorrow 6am.

Okay I will personally take care of that.

Thank you.

Thank you and enjoy your stay!
