Blinded By Expectations

Vacation

"Letticia! Faster ! We're gonna be late to our flight!" I demanded. Habang nagmamadali ako papasok sa NAIA airport. Nasa likod ko ang pinsan ko at hindi na magkandaugaga sa dala niyang luggage bag. It's already 6am.

"Teka naman Gina! I am not used to travel in different places like you. Bakit naman kasi nagpa-uto pa ako sayo!"

I wore a simple white v-neck shirt, ripped shorts and adidas continental shoes, while my cousin has a simple fitted maroon dress with slit on the side matching with Nike air force 1.

Nang makapasok na kami sa airport we waited a bit for our flight details at maya maya pa ay tinawag narin ang mga passengers bound to Cebu. Thank God! there's no delay. Tumayo na kaming dalawa ng pinsan ko at naglakad na papunta sa eroplanong sasakyan namin.

The flight was smooth. I am used to travel in different places like what my cousin mentioned earlier. I just slept for the whole flight while my cousin is still looking at the outside view na tila parang manghang-mangha sa nakikita niya.

When we arrived at Cebu, we immediately booked a grab on the way to Danao City. We manage to check-in to the nearest hotel dahil dito din naman malapit ang titingnan kong project for the Housing Loan we will promote.

Base on my research Danao City belongs to the Third Class Cities in Cebu here in the philippines. It means that there are less people in this City but the annual incomes and revenues are higher than other cities.
So we have to create a way better or a mind blowing content for the promotion of that Housing Loan to gain more attention for people.

We both change into comfortable clothes. Letticia is now packing her things in order, as usual, she is a very organized and perfectionist  lady when it comes to her things. Tapos narin ako mag-ayos ng mga gamit ko dahil kaunti lang naman ang dinala ko.

I sat down on one of the chairs inside our hotel at nilapag ko ang laptop sa lamesa na nasa harap ko. I opened it and started to write a proposal and did some research for the housing loan promotion. I will visit the location tomorrow morning.

It's almost 6pm at medyo napapagod na ako kakatype sa laptop ko. Tumayo ako at umunat, tiningnan ko si Letticia. She's asleep at mukhang napagod ito sa byahe. Maya-maya ay ginising ko nadin siya para makalabas kami at makapag dinner.

"Hey cous, wake up! Kumaen na tayo ng hapunan nagugutom na ako" Pagmamaktol ko habang inaalog-alog ang kaniyang balikat.

"Hmmm, what time is it?" tamad nitong kinusot ang mata at saka bumangon.

"It's already 6pm, get change, we will go outside" Sambit ko habang nagsusuot ng sapatos. Nakapagpalit na ako ng white spaghetti dress at siya naman ay naka short ,off-shoulder na blouse at sandals.

Kumaen na kami sa baba ng hotel at nakita rin naming may mini bar doon. Matapos naming kumaen. We went to the mini bar to have some drinks. Pampa-antok lang.

"2 shots of tequilla please" sambit ko sa isang babaeng bartender.

"Really? Sa tingin mo ba kaya ko yon?" Hindi makapaniwalang sagot ni Letty.

"Come on! You can do it, For once in your life, Please enjoy simple things like this letty. You're too serious and goal-oriented, I'm here to balance your lifestyle ha! We're getting older na, kaya dapat hindi mo pinapalampas ang makalagok ng alak sa lalamunan mo!" Sambit ko, para ipaintindi sakaniya ang nais kong iparating.

Nilapag na ng bartender ang tequilla sa harap naming dalawa.

"So kaya mo ba ako isinama dito para iparealize sa akin, kung anong mawawala kapag masyado akong nagfocus sa business ko?" Sabay inom niya sa isang shot glass na nasa harap niya. Medyo napangiwi ito sa lasa at halatang hindi nagustuhan ang pait na dala nito.
