ONE YEAR AFTER...

Finally! I’m here at Palawan! Simpleng wish ng simpleng taong tulad ko. Magzi-zipline ako, magje-jetski, magwa-wall climbing, any daring activity would do! Dahil ito talaga ako!

SA HOTEL...

Hoo! Sarap mag-jetski, bukas, island hopping at ziplining naman!

 

Hanggang sa....

“Good afternoon, Ma’am. How’s the service so far?” tanong ng manager.

“Very well, so far. I’m gonna spend my first night here today. Hope I shall enjoy my next 2 days here,” sagot ni Amanda.

 “I hope you shall,” pangiting tugon ng manager.

“You know, what I like about your service is that your hotel accommodation goes along with the tour and its activities. Complete package! Excellent!” masayang-masayang sabi ni Amanda.

“Well, our Owner which happens to be our Executive Accounts Manager makes sure that everything matches the personality of the guest. He is the one who approves the hotel accommodation of our prospective guests online. He was the one who approved your accommodation here,” masayang sagot ng manager.

“Wow! So hands on,” ang nasabi ni Amanda.

“And by the way, Ma’am, what time do you want your birthday cake to be delivered?” magalang na tanong ng kausap.

“Oh hoh hoh hoh! You know that it is my birthday?!” panlalaki ng mata ng dalaga.

“So, what time, Ma’am, would be the delivery?” tanong uli nito.

“Hmmm, let’s see. If you could possibly deliever it at 12:00 midnight, that would be very fine with me. It’s the eve of my birthday tonight, actually!” ang nagtataka ngunit natutuwang sagot niya.

“No problem!” sagot ng manager.

“And please, serve it along with Pancit Malabon with Tanduay Ice or brewed coffee. You know, it depends on my mood,” ang napangiwing request ng dalaga.

“Sure, sure. Anything for you, Ma’am! Goodbye for now” magalang na paalam ng manager.

Where did I go wrong? All these years, I hang out with prospective single guys to become my future husband and now I am going to celebrate my birthday AGAIN...alone!

 

 

12:00 Midnight...

Ding Dong!

“Room Service!

(Binuksan ni Amanda ang pinto.)

Nye! Ang tip, ang tip! (bumalik ito sa loob)

Sandali! (hindi siya nilingon ng delivery guy/bellboy  kahit halos katatalikod lang nito.)Thank You, Thank You, whoever you are! (sigaw niya)

 

Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me, happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday to me! Bakit ganon? Parang kilala ko yung nag-deliver nito, katipo ni...ni...Gi-Gian! Imposible yun! Magbe-bellboy, yun pa? Rule No.13, REMEMBER!.........

 

(If you happen to see him in the mall, in the church at work, elsewhere and you saw his hair, muscle or even his vehicle just turn the other side. Pray that if it is him, let it be the time he won’t let go of you anymore. If not, just make sure that you don’t see each other again until the love subsides.)

 

Ano ba yan, di pa ko nakainom may tama na ko?

 

Browse, browse for WORK! Yum, sarap ng cake! Remember, work abroad ang priority! Teka, next month ay ENDO na contract ko sa work after 8 years! What shall I do from May up to September? Hmmm...dito na lang ako kaya mag-work sa resort na ito? With nature pa, Wow!

 

E, bakit nga kaya hindi?
