I aggressively tapped my fingers on top of my office table, as I patiently listening to my client blabbering over the phone. Among the clients who have hired me as their architect, he’s the most indecisive. Parang hindi niya alam kung ano ba talagang gusto niya at tatawag na lang basta sa akin kapag nagbago na naman ang isip niya! I swear, kung tatawag pa siya ulit pagkatapos naming mag-usap ngayon ay baka i-drop ko na lang ‘tong put*nginang project na ‘to.Oo at kliyente nga ang palaging dapat nasusunod, pero hindi naman ‘ata tama na sa isang proyekto ay halos sampung beses kaming mag-revise ng design just because of the clients’ sudden change of mind. Gusto ko naman ‘tong trabaho ko, ‘yong mga kliyente lang talaga ang madalas na nakaka-urat. We, architects, have the right to complain because we are also running out of ideas. Hindi naman nasusuklian ng pera nila ang nasayang na oras at pagod namin.I pursed my lips. “A spacious living room, and compact kitchen as well as the dining a

My college years were about him even without his presence. I seek for him all the time and no matter how much I hate it, I can’t help it. Sa limang taon na ‘yon ay walang araw na hindi ko siya naalala, walang araw na hindi ako umasa na makakasalubong ko siya sa mga pasilyo ng university namin o kung saan man. Hindi naging madali sa akin ang mga pagbabago sa buhay ko nang bigla na lang siyang nawala na parang alikabok. Tuwing gumagawa ako ng plates, tuwing nag-aaral ako, tuwing nakakatanggap ako ng mababang marka ay palaging siya ang pumapasok sa isipan ko. I miss him being around me almost everywhere and everytime.It’s been almost three weeks since we met again for the first time and just like when we were in high school, he f*cked up my system without doing anything. Sa loob rin ng halos tatlong linggo ay wala akong maayos na tulog, ni hindi ako makapag-pokus sa trabaho dahil wala akong matinong pahinga! Here I am, dealing with my feelings instead of my clients. Very professional, r

I feel so left out as the clock ticks by. Sa lamesa namin, ako na lang yata talaga dito ang wala ng inatupag kundi magtrabaho. I'm literally alone on a daily basis, walang alagang aso o pusa na sumasalubong sa akin sa condo pag-uwi ko galing sa trabaho, walang love life at malamang ay wala ring s*x life.Wala naman talaga akong pakialam kung tumanda akong dalaga at mamat*y na v*rgin, e. But the fact that I'm an only child and my parents are already craving for a grandchild? Hindi ko kayang hindi sila mapagbigyan.Sino bang mag-aakala na magkakatuluyan si Migz at Analice? They're already been married for 3 years and Ana is now pregnant with their second child. Like Rico and Kheena, balita ko ay engaged na rin si Conan at Ren. I'm not homophobic but it really shocked me that they're both bisexual all along.“How about the well-known and the best SC Vice President of our time? My brother once ate in your restaurant, he said you even served the food that time and the dish tasted fantastic.

Hindi na ulit ako nagtangka pang magsimula ng panibagong argumento. Bakit kasi kailangan niya pang sabihin na ‘naaano’ siya kung puwede naman na huwag na lang siyang umimik? Can’t he just keep that to himself? The amount of confidence this man has… It really annoys the sh*t out of me. What he did was very embarrassing on his part yet I was the one who was ashamed and cannot take the secondhand embarrassment. Ni hindi man lang nga siya nailang matapos niyang ibulgar ang kahalayan niya. Napaka-balasubas talaga ng ugali!Hanggang sa makarating kami sa bahay niya ay wala na kaming naging kibuan. Iginaya lang niya ako sa sala at kusina niya, tinuro kung nasaan ang banyo kung sakali man na gagamit ako and then told me to help myself if I need or want something. Matapos niyang umakyat ng hagdan ay hindi na ito muling bumaba upang entertain-in man lang ako.Wow, I feel so accommodated that I could die. Pinamumukha niya ‘ata talaga sa akin na napilitan lang siyang isama ako dito sa bahay niya.

Body ache woke me up the next morning, us under his sheets, my head rested on his chest while his arm was perfectly wrapped around my waist. To be honest, last night was a near-death experience for me. I don’t know if it has something to do with being a virg*n at this age but I literally passed out and he’s still—Oh, nevermind.Sinadya niya bang ipunin lahat ng sama ng loob sa akin para gumanti sa ganitong paraan? Sa liksi ba naman niya kagabi, hindi malabong gano’n nga. I remember cursing him muffedly, medyo maliwanag na no’n sa labas at nang makitang lamog na talaga ako ay do’n lang niya ako tinigilan. Akala ko nga hindi na ‘ko magigising, e!Nang tingalain ko siya, there he is, sleeping so safe and sound. Ang amo ng mukha, jusko. Akala mo’y batang paslit na hindi pa namumulat sa kahit anong kasamaan o kalupitan ng mundo, malayong-malayo sa tigreng nakatalik ko kagabi.With my forefinger, I carefully trace his thick brows, his lengthy lashes, then down to his nose bridge, and to his
