The next day, we went to church with my Mother, Matthew, and Madrid. I prayed to God that wherever life takes me, I hope He guides me because my family still needs me. After church, we went to a nearby park to eat the food we bought for breakfast.

"Oh, here's yours. Your water's there. Is everything okay? Did I forget anything?" I asked after distributing our food in styrofoam containers. We bought Corned beef with egg and fried rice, Tocino with egg and fried rice, Hotdog with egg and fried rice, and a Spam with egg and fried rice, along with styrofoam cups of three coffees, one milk, and four bottled waters.

"None, Mathia. Let's now pray before eating," my brother said, and we sat down. My mom led the prayer, and we started eating.

"Is my baby happy?" I asked my cute and handsome son, Madrid. He smiled widely and nodded enthusiastically, chewing on his food.

"You know? Madrid was really sincere in his prayer earlier," Matthew told me before eating.

"Really? What did my baby pray for

    The three of us trainees were currently on our lunch break. We went to a nearby eatery and had our meal there. I wasn’t able to bring packed food because I prioritized taking care of my child.“It’s a good thing that the customers earlier were okay. You know, the only thing that really makes me nervous is when a customer suddenly causes a scene. Not all customers are the same, after all,” the female trainee explained.“That’s true,” the man added. “By the way, we haven’t introduced ourselves yet. I’m Von. Von Casejo. How about you?” he said as he introduced himself.“Aileen Minarez,” the woman introduced herself.“Mathia Tierro,” I introduced myself as well.“You know, I feel like we’ll last here. We can handle this,” Von said to us.“Ma’am Carreon is okay. But didn’t they say Ma’am Sofia, the general manage, is strict? What if she ends up failing us?” Aileen replied.“That won’t happen. Tss! You know, everything will be hard for us if we keep thinking negatively. We should stay posit

    A mix of excitement and nervousness filled me as I walked toward the restaurant where I would be working. I was wearing a white polo, black slacks, and black closed shoes.Today was the start of my training. I was on my way to Ravish Restaurant. I rode a jeepney and walked the rest of the way. The distance wasn’t that far, so I decided to walk. It helped me save money instead of taking a pedicab.“Good morning, ma’am. You look ready today,” the male guard greeted me.“Yes. I’m very prepared today,” I replied with a smile.“You may go in now, ma’am. Our timekeeper is inside so you can clock in,” he added.“Alright. Thank you,” I said before entering. The cold air from the air conditioner immediately brushed against my skin. I walked down the hallway, which was about the length of three classrooms, and soon saw a female guard stationed at her post.“Are you new?” the guard asked.“Yes,” I answered.“Please write your name here and indicate ‘trainee’ as your position,” she said, handing

    I was extremely excited to tell my entire family that I finally had a job. I was restless inside the house the whole day. Out of pure happiness, I even started cleaning at the most random time. I didn’t even feel tired at all.Because of my excitement, I decided to prepare for a small celebration. I ended up making Leche Flan and grilling some Liempo. I truly went all out. I just couldn’t hold back my joy.While I was busy cooking, I also played music on the speaker. I found myself dancing and singing along. I didn’t notice the time passing until I saw my mother arrive.“It looks like there’s a party here, huh? Wait, did you grill Liempo? What’s this? Leche Flan? You even made Leche Flan?” Mom asked one question after another as she approached me in the kitchen.“Yes, Mom. Just a small celebration because I got accepted at work,” I told her. Mother’s mouth fell open and her eyes widened with happiness.“Really, Mathia? Congratulations! I knew you could do it!” Mom said proudly.“Anywa

    It was already eleven in the evening, yet I was still wide awake. I couldn’t sleep because of all the thoughts running through my mind, while my child was resting peacefully.I moved closer to my child and wrapped my arms around him. I am grateful that God blessed me with Madrid. I will be thankful for him for the rest of my life because my child is a great blessing to me and to our entire family.“Madrid, I’m sorry, okay? I’m sorry because Mama can’t tell you the truth yet,” I whispered tearfully to my child, even though I knew he couldn’t hear me because he was asleep. “I can’t tell you that your father abandoned us when I was still pregnant with you. He left suddenly. Since then, he never showed himself again. It’s hard to tell you because this is what I fear the most... seeing you get hurt,” I continued.I immediately wiped my tears, afraid that they might fall on my child and wake him up. I didn’t want to disturb his sleep.“But you know what? Even if your Papa isn’t here, your f

    I feel bad for Charlie. It feels like the timing was wrong for me to reject his courtship. He waited for almost nine years, because from then until now, he has always been by my side.“S-Sorry, Charlie. I-I didn’t mean to—”“It’s okay, Mathia. It’s fine,” he cut me off. I know he wasn’t telling the truth because his eyes were restless, and he suddenly stood up. “I-I’ll go ahead now, Mathia. I’m sorry,” he said as his final words.“No. Wait. Just a moment, Charlie—” I tried to stop him, but he quickly left and got into his car.A heavy feeling settled in my chest. This feels wrong. I wish I hadn’t said anything to Charlie. I ended up hurting someone else’s feelings.I stayed at home the whole day. I did household chores and went live for selling as well. I noticed that my viewers had decreased compared to before. Even my regular customers were gone... Especially Charlie.It was six thirty in the evening when I started cooking. I made dry Pork Adobo and cooked rice as well. The day pas

    The next morning, I left ahead of them to look for a job. I had my resumes printed and photocopied all the necessary documents as well, just in case they would ask for additional requirements.I rode a jeepney to apply at different stores, shops, and restaurants. Whatever place I saw that seemed open for applications, I applied to it. I’m not picky when it comes to work. I don’t leave a job or a company no matter how toxic it is. I told myself long ago that I would only leave if I were the one who got dismissed.Every walk and every ride I took just to submit my resume was exhausting. I used up all the resumes I had before deciding to go home. It was only one in the afternoon, and I was already starving, so I cooked lunch.After eating, I didn’t expect my phone to ring. I smiled widely and checked who it was. I saw Charlie’s name and number.“Charlie? Why did you call?” I asked him.“Hello, Mathia. Sorry for disturbing you during your lunch break, okay? Can I reserve some cologne and
