Gulong-gulo ang utak, nagtatatakbo ako palabas, heedless of the fact that I just ripped into pieces a huge amount of money and thrown it into his perplexed face. Feeling disgraced and a total mess, and as if it isn’t enough torture, naka-receive pa ako ng tadtad na missed calls and text messages from my boyfriend, Iszak: "Call me back once you get this." "Why aren't you answering my calls??" "Babe where are you??" "It's past midnight for f*ck's sake!" “Heather, where the hell are you? Buong gabi mo akong pinaghintay sa Room 606! “             But I was at Room 909. Gulong-gulo ako. Yung tipong parang sasabog sa halo-halong emosyon na hindi ko ma-explain. I couldn’t reply to him. I couldn’t find the right words to tell him. There’s so way I can face the love of my life after the mess I’ve made. This is f*cked up.   &n

A month later, the smoke died down. Just like any trending show, nawalan ng interes sa istorya ng buhay ko ang mga netizens. Naglaho din ang mga callers, chatheads at reporters na nanggugulo sa buhay ko sa bawat galaw ko. Wala din naman silang mahihita sa akin eh.

But the mirror is broken now. That man is gone....in just a flick of a finger. Alangan namang maglupasay pa ako over it. Di naman ako namatayan to mourn...Oo, nakapanghihinayang. But there are thi

"NO!" I flinched at his sudden remark. Hindi naman nakakapanibago ang pagka-authoritarian ng isang ito, pero para sakin, isa lang siyang malaking damulag who loves to throw tantrums everytime he doesn't get what he wants. "You're not going anywhere unless I say so," he continued. "You got me into this mess, so you better fix it." "With all due respect, sir, what I'm doing now, is actually the solution to your problem." His displeased aura made him clench his teeth and tighten the muscles on the sides of his face, creating a visible view of his strong jawline. He, then, looked at me, deadeye. "You are pissing me off." Obvious ba? Duh, araw-araw ka naman yata pikon eh. "You call that a 'solution' to the problem??" He added. "Tingin mo, masosolusyunan mo ang mga problema just by running away?" I looked back at him with unsteady gazes. "Kung yun ang ikakagaan ng loob ng mga naperwisyo ko, why not?" "Listen, Ms. O'Connor," he breathed heavily. "I don't think you understand. I'm of
