Looking

College passed by like a blur. After finishing my courses and being able to graduate without too much hassle, I took my time on reviewing for my licensure exam.

Throughout colleged, I've been scouted by many construction firms. They would offer me intership and sometimes even a secured position in the firm.

I've also did my own search for firms I wanted to apply to. But, it was also a shock to me that none of them seemed to appeal to me.

That's why a year after graduating, I decided to be a freelance interior designer.

With the help of my Mommy's connections, may mga lumalapit sa akin para kunin akong interior designer ng mga bahay at workspace nila.

The people I've worked for gave me nice and heartwarming feedbacks. Nakatuwa pa nga at nirerecommend nila ako sa mga kakilala rin nilang naghahanap ng interior designer.

I would also get consultations from my some people I knew back in college. Ang iba doon ay nga kakilala rin nina Zaque at Monique.

I've had the oppurtunity to design the interiors various spaces. Isa sa mga hindi ko malilimutan ay ang isang café sa Baguio.

We went there for a trip. Kasama ko noon sina Mommy, Monique, Zaque, at sina Tito. We were casually strolling the busy streets of Baguio when somebody approached us.

Sabi niya ay na-recognize niya ako mula sa mga post ng kaibigan niya sa Manila. The friend she was talking about was once my client who hired me as the interior designer of her condo unit.

We talked and negotiated. Bumalik kami ni Mommy, kasama ang mga relatives namin, sa Manila. Pero agad din akong bumiyahe muli papuntang Baguio para masimulan ang project ko roon.

The café in Baguio was my first project outside the metro area. After that, I would get calls from clients who were situated outside of Manila.

It was a nice deal for me. I would get to travel, but at the same time, I earn from doing my job.

"Hello, lovely Boracay!"

Sigaw ni Monique habang pababa kami ng eroplano. Siya ang sinama ko ngayon dito sa Boracay. Nandito kami dahil may kumontact sa akin na gustong mag-consult tungkol sa isang interior design ng bar sa isang resort dito.

"I love your job na talaga, Rhelle." Ani Monique nang makuha na namin ang nga luggage namin. Dumiretso na rin kami sa labas ng airport kung saan naghihintay ang isang van papunta sa nasabing resort.

Liningon ko si Monique na ngayon ay prenteng nakaupo sa tabi ko. Nakatutok siya sa iPad niya habang nagbabasa ng mga emails.

Sabay sabay kaming grumaduate nina Zaque. Both of my cousins graduated with degrees. They both took Business Administration nung college.

Ang alam ko ay pareho na silang tumutulong kina Tito sa pagpapatakbo ng nga negosyo nila sa Manila at ibang lugar, kasali na ang Isla Cañas.

Si Monique ang namamahala sa mga negosyo nila roon sa Manila. Samantala, si Zaque naman ang namamalagi sa Isla Cañas para mag-supervise ng mga negosyo nila roon.

"Emails are seriously frustrating me out," reklamo ni Monique habang hinihilot ang kaniyang sentido.

Natawa na lang ako sa kaniya. "Chill, Monique. Mag-relax ka na muna rito sa Boracay."
