You gave me a reason for my being and I love what I'm feeling You gave me a meaning to my life. Yes, I've gone beyond existing And it all began when I met you. - When I Met You, APO Hiking Society *** * F L A S H B A C K * “I CLOSED the deal, Mahal! Dad is so happy!” His wife greeted him when he opened the door. There is joy in his voice. He wasn't satisfied and picked her up. “Really? I am so proud of you!” "Yes, Mahal! So get dressed! We will leave.” "Where are we going?" She asked, a little bit surprised. "Where else? We will celebrate!” She laughed and kissed her husband. "Alright! It is only right that we celebrate such things.” "That's right, we said to each other. No matter how small or big a win is, we should still celebrate!” He kissed her for the last time before finally putting her down. "I'm just going to get dressed." She said to him. Her husband looked at her from head to toe. She's wearing her usual house dress. An oversized t-shirt, which he us
*** “DON’T you have relatives to go to this day, dear? I mean, even a province where you can go on a vacation?" Robin asked her as they ate lunch. “I don't know any relatives of my mother." “So you will not go on any vacation this Lent season? This time, it was Pipay who asked her. The Lent season is on the way, and some of the writers are flying to their hometowns for a short vacation. "I d-don’t know.” She shrugged her shoulders. "I don’t know. Maybe I'll just stay here at my apartment. Go with your vacation, leave Manila because it’s too crowded already!” “How about the convent? You don’t want to visit them?” She was stunned for a moment by Robin's question. It has been a while since she last visited sister Ella. Even if she wanted to visit them, she hesitated a little. Many children are surely waiting for her return, but she can't give them what she promised she would bring for them once she visited again. Maybe she should ask Louise if she could cash advance her roya
Akin ka na lang (akin ka na lang)Iingatan ko ang puso moAkin ka na lang (akin ka na lang)At wala nang hihigit pa sa 'yo- Akin Ka Na Lang, Itchyworms***"ARE you related to Don Ignacio?" The man once again asked her, but she didn't answer. What should she answer to this? The truth? Or the lie that she always answers whenever someone asks this question? But before she could answer, the man walked towards her and stared at her face. Infinity became conscious of the look he was giving. He stared straight into her eyes as if staring through her soul. "You don't have to answer. We are not related also. And I-I don't know him personally, either. I am just a curious cat lurking around.” He answered. He passed him and approached the grave. He saw the fresh flowers she had just put there. She kept her gaze on the man. If she's going to describe the man in front of her, the description of him as tall, dark, and handsome would fit him. He also has this jolly aura around him that, even
***"HOW was your lent season?" Paolo asked as they were once again eating street foods on the sidewalk. "Fine. You?" She answered while chewing. "My family and Grace went to our private beach house in Zambales. My family's thinking of getting away from Manila's crowd, not knowing there are tons of people who are also thinking the same. We are stuck at the expressway for 4 hours! Imagine?” The mention of Ma'am Grace, his fiancé, gives her a bitter aftertaste. And at this moment, she asked herself. Because of that, she asked herself what she was thinking rig

***THE whole duration of lunch, all the talk was about Paolo's engagement. They are excited! Why not? The Angeles and Santos clans are well known for their power, fame, and money. A union of money will result in, guest what? More money. Plus, writers are hopeless romantics at all times. Her co-writers are waiting for the wedding preparation and the wedding itself. They are expecting a grand wedding befitting royalty. A prince charming and his princess's wedding. "Where do you think they will get married?" Robin asked the two of them as they were eating their lunch. "Maybe in *(1)Manila Cathedral? Then the reception w
***FIGHT for what is right. Those words echoed in her head for an infinite time since she and Patrick talked. It has been days since the interview with Grace, and some showbiz and fashion magazines and online portals are still talking about it. Maybe it will take a while before it lays down. She is keeping herself busy, still at the office even in the wee hours. She doesn't have any deadlines. She is ahead of her schedule. She just wanted to be busy to cover all his thoughts. Only three of them were left in the office. The guard at t
This was the very first pageNot where the storyline endsMy thoughts will echo your name until I see you againThese are the words I held back, as I was leaving too soonI was enchanted to meet you- Enchanted, Taylor Swift***IT has been almost 2 weeks since Paolo and Infinity talked to each other. Although it was not explained, it was now clear that they both had feelings for each other. Paolo was in the 2-hour meeting, but his mind was not here. His mind is still on that night. Infinity asked him to stop what they were doing. The proposal in Zambales has nothing to do with him. Heck! His family planned it. He was surprised that everything was ready on the 2nd night of their stay at their vacation house. His mother gave him the velvet box. He couldn't refuse, knowing that Grace and some of their close friends are like expecting this proposal. Seeing they were overly prepared for the occasion. Naturally, he intended to marry Grace. They are in a relationship after all. Everythin
