Daniel Elizabeth••I was heading out from Starbucks, holding my favorite cup of coffee. I saw a guy sitting on the fountain ledge and strumming his guitar. I just stood here as I listened to his voice sing one of my favorite songs, "James Dean and Audrey Hepburn."As I walked past him, I laid a hundred pesos on his lap, like what I always do to people who do street music. His talent shouldn't go to waste like that... if only I had more cash I could've paid him more.He looked at me, a little stunned. I gave him a shy smile and started walking away."I should have said something complimenting too." I told myself that in my mind.Everytime after work and after ordering coffee at the nearest starbucks, I always see him at the same spot...in the fountain ledge, strumming his guitar and singing. I always left a hundred pesos on his lap.But this day was weird, he was singing a tagalog song which I haven't heard of...and yet, I tried to left another money on his lap but I only had fifty pe

That night••It was my birthday. Bryce and some employees prepared a small surprise at the office, which they do every year, and I appreciate it more. My parents just left me a birthday message through text—the usual birthday greetings.Happy birthday our beloved daughter.Sebastian didn't greet me. He never asked for my birthday anyway and likewise, so I don't expect to receive any gifts from him or a birthday message. Might as well ask for his birthday when we go out.I was tired and wanted to just sleep this day...this normal day. But a message from sebastian woke my tired soul.Lance Sebastian Jimenez: puwede ka pa ba ngayon? may gusto lang akong ipakita sayo!I got up and picked up a simple outfit to wear. I wore a plain white fitted t-shirt and a skinny jean; I didn't wear stilettos or wedge shoes; instead, I wore my Givenchy sneakers. I waited for him at the front of my condo building. As he got closer, my heart skipped a beat...like crazy.He was wearing his usual simple outf

And then, we meet again.••"So, why did you take me to the museum again?" I asked."We needed a new design based on art and iyong last time na gumawa ka ay napaka ganda...a dress was it?" said Bryce while walking besides me on this long hall way."Yes, a dress inspired by the art work of Juan Luna...the spolarium.""I thought so, we need to feed your inspirational mind with arts again."We came to the National Museum of Fine Arts today in a random sunday.It's been two years, and during those years I managed our store in Bulacan. I had to go back here to claim my position as the next CEO."What room do you want to roam ba?" asked bryce."Let's go to Juan Luna's work..." I suggested."Oh, right...Juan Luna is your ideal artist.""Yes."We kept walking and stopping at every room we found very interesting...until I found the room full of Juan Luna's work. I left Bryce in the other room and started roaming and looking at each painting on the wall.I stopped at one frame work on the wall.

Penge nga!" sambit ni niccolo na tinutukoy ay si daniel.Umupo ako sa katapatan niya at awrang nagmamayabang sakanila."Mahal lang ako ng Diyos mga pare! Malakas ako sa Diyos! Demonyo who ulit?

Samahan mo ako bukas! For friendship's sake!" ani niccolo."Alam niyo nandidilim paningin ko sainyo ha...kapag inggit, pikit!" sabi ko sa tatlo sabay salin ng gin sa walang laman na pitsel.Nagtawanan lang ang tatlo ng malakas sa akin.
