Kanina pa ako hilong hilo sa mga nangyayari. I have a lot of things to do in my plate such as sketching, drafting designs and I have to study about Asian Art history pa! I'm not complaining though, I choose this and I want this. Nakakainis lang to think na some people really think na hindi mahirap ang program namin dahil 'fashion lang naman' daw ito! Gosh, lahat ng program mahirap!



Honestly, we should not normalize degrading other college program lalo na yung mga hindi familiar na courses!



I heave a heavy sigh as I look at my journal. Full packed siya and I don't think masisingit ko ang ibang modelling offers sakin. I quickly told my manager na I can't do any gigs for two months dahil ang lala talaga ng schedule ko. I needed to go home immediately para masimulan ko na mga works ko so I swung by Keith's building to bid goodbye



"Seriously? You two need to stop obsessing yourselves in that ML thingy" I looked at Keith and Sean with judgement as they continue to play, nagmumura pa sila! I'm not really surprise to see these two playing ML here because apparently Keith's building has the fastest internet connection!



"Ano pinunta mo dito? Ako?" napairap na lang ako


"Hindi ikaw ang pinunta ko. Assuming"



Malakas lang na natawa si Sean sabay nagpaalam na bibili ng tubig sa canteen. As soon as he left I quickly darted teasing looks at Keith. Naiiling na lang ako ng tinulak niya ako at hinampas sa braso. As soon as Sean went back I bid my goodbye once again. Binulungan ko pa si Keith kaya malakas niya akong tinulak at natawa na lang talaga ako.


I still have lots to do but I'm not complaining about my loads of work because I love studying and exploring my chosen field. I quickly looked at my list to dos and paper works. I can't help but to smile because why not? I love what I'm doing. I'm basically living my dream! Speaking of dream, I emailed my dream school in Paris! I swear if they will accept me? I can never ask for more! Studying in Paris is the dream! And I can't really wait!



That's why I don't regret choosing what I really want even if I get stressed and tired. People get tired but at the end of the day there will always be a smile plastered in the face specially if you're doing what you love, your passion. And that's the main life goal: To feel satisfied doing what you want for the rest of your life.



It was nearly midnight when my alarm rung. I stretched my legs and arms before checking my social media accounts. Wala pang five minutes na pag-scroll ko sa Instagram ay nakaramdam na ako ng gutom. Damn! I forgot I didn't have dinner and kaninang hapon pa nung last na kumain ako ng sandwich. I was planning on getting a food delivery kaso sobrang gabi na and I don't think meron pa bukas na deliveries. I quickly snatched my wallet and car keys before going out.



I was just wearing my red hoddie jacket and denim shorts. Hindi ko na pinakealamanan ang buhok kong naka-messy ponytail. I don't think na may mga pake pa ang mga tao sa ganitong oras, jusko!



"Two orders of Chicken Mcnuggets with fries. One big mac and uhm chicken mcdo with spaghetti and oh! iced coffee" I shyly smiled at the cashier girl when I heard her chuckled. I quickly went to a table beside the window as I wait for my order.



I was munching my nuggets and burger when suddenly someone was infront of my table. I weirdly look up but suddenly drop my gazed as I found out who it was. What the hell? What is he doing here?



"May I sit beside you?" Damn that voice. Damn this guy


"Sure," he placed his tray with, again, two bucket of chicken same as what he ordered in KFC "But there are a lot of available sits bakit sa tabi ko pa? Crush mo ba ako?"



He blinked twice before laughing. Tinignan ko lang siya ng seryoso kahit tawang tawa siya. Doon ko lang napansin na gwapo talaga siya. Medyo maputi, makapal ngunit maayos ang kilay at ang pula ng labi niya. Tinaasan ko siya ng kilay nang tumigil siya sa pagtawa at nakangiti na lang nakatingin sakin



"I don't want to look lonely and I thought you won't mind since you look like you don't really care and you look familiar" sandali niyang hinawi ang magulo niyang buhok patalikod ngunit may iilan pa rin buhok na bumalik lang sa gilid "Crush ba kita? Hindi"



Pinanliitan ko siya ng mata bago kumagat sa nuggets ko hindi inaalis ang tingin ko sakanya "Okay, stranger" natawa na lamang siya. He seriously looks foreigner based on his facial features and accent. Halatang hindi Filipino ang first language!



He stayed until I finished my last bite of my burger. No one really talked as I finished my meal a while ago. It was not awkward. He was just staring outside the window while I mind my meal. Iniisip ko tuloy na baka binibilang niya dumadaan na kotse kaya nakatingin sa labas. I don't know if I'll say goodbye dahil hindi naman kami close!



Nagulat na lang ako ng tumayo rin siya bitbit ang bucket meals niya. I raised my brows at him ng tignan niya ako. Akala ko ba hindi ako nito crush? Natawa na lang siya ng mabasa ang reaction ko. Mas nagulat ako ng bigla niya akong akbayan at inakay palakad hangang sa labas "Don't go out in the middle of the night it's dangerous"



I unconsciously reach the top of my head and smile. Damn that Zion for ruining my hair.




Damn, why can't I stop myself from smiling!
