Today had been a busy day, since school had been knocking on my door once again. Despite the happenings in my life, of course I still cannot deny that I'm now a college sophomore in the Media Arts Department.
"Melissa! Could you get those tarps and place them here…" Mrs. Ortega asked, pointing at the tarpaulins stacked up on one corner.
"Are your paintings and dessin art already in the stock room?" She added as I placed the tarpaulins below the folding ladder she was using to ascend herself.
"Yes, Mrs…" I said and was immediately cut off.
"Sorry, the one I'm asking is Ashley… anyway, you could go now," Mrs. Ortega replied.
His heart was convulsing, panting as he entered the hall. And just for that moment right in front of him is the girl of his dreams.Her moon-shadow hair and honey-brown eyes were complimenting her water-iced complexion. Those lilac soft lips, her angel-like face surely gives a sense of sophisticated yet gentle beauty.No matter how much he denies it, it is true that this girl is indeed the girl who he used to know as Caroline."How are you?" he said awkwardly, waving his hand with slight familiarity.The girl didn't reply, instead, she just went past him without even noticing his presence.Realizing that the girl
"Ey, what happened? Tell me?"Athena's eyes were gleaming with mellow fierceness as she saw Irene's worried face, "I don't know… I just felt like I did something I shouldn't," Irene said."Something happened, didn't it? And here I thought you left immediately as soon as you finished storing the files." Athena questions further."Well, I was supposed to do that but… Jaiden, he…""Eh... what did he do?"* * *"Oh… you came back sooner than I expected," Athena said as soon as she saw them entering the hall.&nb
Irene was bothered by the presence of a very stubborn guy. Of course she doesn't want the misunderstanding to get the best of her so she decided to shun him completely, "Just think of it as if he doesn't exist….""Will you really not talk to me?" Jaiden asked as he started bothering her when she walked with a stack of files.Irene didn't care to reply and continue to have her poker faced armor."Athena… Here is the list of appointments that will be rescheduled for tomorrow, and here are those who canceled," Irene glared at him and tackled Jaiden who was blocking her path.Jaiden reacted in pain as he massaged his shoulders which Irene indiscriminately bumped, "Aw!"
"Hello, here is your receipt…"I was there smiling behind my pathetic struggle."Thank you, Miss…" a customer replied, grabbing the plastic bag away from there. A few more customers followed and I felt that I was a little unmotivated towards my job. Of course, I know that it is not the jobs' fault, neither is it my procrastinating self kicking in.It is just that I felt everything I do is meaningless up to this point. Not because all I was doing was for nothing, but because I just realized that I have no particular goal in mind.Going back, I do feel like my life had no certain direction, I was not even confident if I knew myself very well. Right now this existenti
My work in the barangay is definitely demanding, however it is not like I disliked the kind of development that is happening within the workplace. To be frank, I really enjoy the tasks given to me."Mimi… you could start sorting out these documents first, since you practically grew up in the barangay hall, I guess you don't need a briefing about the location of the office?" Ms. Lany is certainly understanding."Yes, Ms. Lany…" I replied.The sorting appeared to be simple, but accurately sorting the documents in different categories really packs a punch in the gut, as I don't particularly know the difference between which files are for ordinance and which files are for announcements.
Sharing a meal with Irene and two of my childhood friends lessened my worries for a bit, however I knew they were just as shaken as me at what happened earlier."Somehow, no matter how many times I go I still can't get tired of the food in this place," Athena remarked to strike a conversation.Although I knew she was just trying to lighten the mood, she probably realized that no one is really in the mood to talk right now. We finished the meal sooner than expected and went back to the barangay hall as if nothing had happened.Irene was in deep thought, while Athena was thinking of cheering both of us up.Joseph was trying to remain neutral, as for me… I just don't know what to
The news about Thadeus and Martha Fernandez fleeing to America to hide from the law had been circulating around various articles and news sites, even their misuse of funds and connection to the black market and other illegal transactions had been slowly resurfacing.The people's opinions had drifted from lauding the Fernandez administration as the best administration of the century and now spreading malicious comments about them."The opposition is really taking this opportunity to slander our family in whatever negative words they could imagine, even false information is now spreading across different media," Uncle Jon gasped."Since many people are now engaging in posting malicious comments about us have become a majority, other people will
"Irene, I would trust that you'll take care of the rest… I'll go now," Tatay Digs, who finished another meeting, said as he took his leave."Yes, Sir!" Irene responded in a light tone."I guess you had a really good assistant secretary here, Diggory!" Erwin cheered as he tapped his friend's shoulders, "Well, not to brag but I also have an equally competent assistant here with me," he added, pointing at Matty in the process."Stop the flattering Mayor Fernandez, it doesn't suit you…" Matty remarked as she finished the minutes of the meeting."Really? And here I thought you wanted to be complemented," Erwin dissented.
