ELIAS"I still can't believe she'll do such a thing." Standing beside me was Corrine's face, who couldn't stop herself from whimpering as she stared at a long, white coffin where Stacy's lying down. "Then you know it hurts?"I noticed that she was crying all the time, still she's trying to hide it by looking up at the sky. It's the day to take Stacy to her final destination. Corrine's family also decided to bury Stacy right away."On the very last day of our taping, I wished that night would be the last day I would see her face. As if she heard that... she made it true. My together , Eli."The one thing I know I can offer him right now is my warm hug. I first moved her away from Stacy's corpse as if I'm hoping she could calm down if she's no longer seeing the remains of her long lost sister."She did what she thought was best for you, Corrine." While caressing her back, her whimpers continue. "He's aware of how much you hate him since day one you two met, and from the day you implante
In the midst of darkness, someone hooked me out of that shitty place. During the times when I thought the world had abandoned me, I can't imagine I could find solace in his company... not until a horrible episode happens.I couldn't fully imagine that the joy I felt was short-lived. After he brought me out of sadness, he buried me back to hell.He's the only person who pushes me to pursue my dream... he taught me that I'm a worthy person and that I also have the freedom to fulfill my objectives in life.I reached my dream... It's just sad because the moment I finally obtain my victory… he’s gone."Are you even serious? I can participate in the taping even though I haven't experienced being a wedding coordinator! So, what's the use of me working for 1 month just for that?""You're the actress here, Corrine. You should be knowledgeable enough about the role you will play. The thing here is that… this is also for the sake of making the series outstanding. It's a big advantage for you if y
In the midst of walking down the road, I passed a seminar in the capitol. The audience is high school students and the topic is career guidance. Probably for Grade 10 students entering K-12.I suddenly missed the time when I was still in high school, when Mom and Dad were still with me. I've promised them that after ten or fifteen years, they will see me both on TV.I'm dreaming of being a celebrity back then.But things like that couldn't be able to happen. Far from the reality of my dream coming true... 'cause I'm meant to sustain that witches' needs. Maybe Aunt Gretchen was right when she told me that dreaming is only for the poor. She said that we are not poor, so I don't need to dream anymore.My father is working abroad, doing hard work there just to make our life stable here in the Philippines. But instead of being happy, I'm not happy because like my father, I'm also suffering at the hands of his future wife.I am tiring myself to work at home and work the sidelines at a fast f
He hit me with that counterattack. Of course, right? What fool would say that she is satisfied with her life when she is so wrapped up in sadness?"Whether or not you are satisfied with your life, you can dream because that is one thing that will give you the motivation to live... and the joy when it comes true.""Dreaming is free, so don't be mean to yourself. Live for yourself, not for others. You were not born to serve them, because you lived in the world to find something that will make you happy before you even die. Human life is short, are you going to waste your life just to serve others?""It's not bad to have a goal for yourself... because I believe the real joy is when you achieve your goal."After saying that, he left. Instead of feeling sorry for myself in my current situation, I feel more sorry for the person inside that gigantic mascot. He will waste a lot of sweat just for his goal of making people happy.But seriously, I owe that person a gratitude. Somehow I was encour
When I finally got inside my room, I was about to go to the bathroom to take a shower when I noticed something... those posters I collected from different entertainments that I was supposed to be auditioning for, why are they torn?I picked them up one by one, banging on Aunt Gretchen's room. "Who tore these?!"Stacy raised her hands. "Me."I was about to attack her with great anger when Aunt Gretchen blocked me from doing so. "Have you forgotten what I told you earlier?"I looked at her. "Who the hell are you for me to follow you? You're not even my mother, so you have no right to rule my life!”I received another slap from her. "You have no manners, stupid! Have my hands no longer giving you pain, so now you are being brave?!”"You ruined my dream," I murmured. "Your daughter ruined my dream, do you know that?! They are very important to me because listed here are the contact numbers and addresses of the talent agents I am aiming to look for... but now that they are in disrepair, how
"My instinct is functioning really well and great. I really knew I would find you here.” A man came, I felt him sit next to me. "Have you come from Miss Fiona's?"I nodded. "You?""I just got back too. Where were you deployed?"“Amana Beach and Resort.”“Same!” He grabbed my arm. "Irene, we share the same place. I’m going to fetch you everyday at your house, so you won’t be late. How’s that sound?”I just laughed at him before shaking my head. "It's a hassle for you to pass by our house. Your journey will take too long. I can handle myself, I'll just limit reading online books, so I don't stay up late anymore.""Are you sure you don't want to come with me? Even going home?”I shook my head. “Not anymore, Harold. I can handle myself. I'm sure I'm used to going home alone…”And it looks like I'm about to get used to living alone as well."It's up to you," he said. "But you know, I'm excited for next week. My excitement doubled because you are the one who will be there with me," he added
"Girlfriend?" Harold and Celine, and I asked the man who suddenly appeared.I also got confused because I don't know him so why would he just say that I am his girlfriend? Is this man crazy?"Excuse me--"He smiled at me. "Let's go?" He held my hand and was about to drag me out there but he stopped. He looked at Celine while being calmed. "Make it a hobby to listen to your boyfriend's explanation before jumping to conclusions, huh?"And we walked away from that place... Still he's holding my hand. As much as I wanted to walk away from this strange man, I couldn't. I lost my strength because of what happened, my brain just couldn't process things easily as of the moment."Thank me later," as he stopped from walking, he started talking. "I deserve it, don't I?""Why did you do that?" I went straight to the point. "I don't even need your help, so why did you do that? We don't know each other in the first place, so what right do you have to interfere in my life?"“Is that the way you than
"They’re saying I’m brave enough to accept the fact that the man I used to admire won't really like me. It's pretty normal to feel pain at first, trying to accept the reality that the man you like doesn’t feel the same as you, believe me that shattered my heart into pieces. But the central idea here is that when I accepted his rejection towards me and learned to accept that we were not meant for each other, I began to be determined to change myself.""Upon realizing the things that I should eradicate in my life, I changed for the better. I've been rejected once but I'm still thankful because that happened… Because that was the way for me to find a man who can accept me completely. Being able to love the real me... The old me, and the new me," Delancy said with a smile.Did they approach me on purpose? To lecture me about rejection. If that's the case, I owe these two a thank you. Indeed, people tend to learn from others' experiences… And because of what they both said, I learned anoth
