Hot Dog Ka Ba

Over the weekend, I went with my best friend to one of the premium auto shops owned by my company to get her car serviced. Just as we were about to leave, someone stopped me and ordered me to wipe down her car. I explained that I didn't work there, but she got angry anyway. She flipped a 10-cent coin at my face. "Consider it an honor that I'm letting you wash my car. A broke girl like you has probably never even seen a luxury car in her life! I'm trying to broaden your horizons, and you're not even grateful?" I shot back, "You're right. I've never met a car owner who can only spare 10 cents. Consider my horizons broadened." She exploded on the spot. "Do you even know who I am? The chairman of the Penzo Group is my mother-in-law! Scared now?" I paused for a beat, then calmly called Leo Penzo. "I hear your mother went behind my back and found you a new wife?"

I was the top engineer at the National Deep-Sea Institute—and the only person in the world with real deep-sea rescue experience. When my younger brother's submarine went down and he called for help from 35,000 feet below, I hung up on him. Then, calm and unhurried, I went straight to the police station and turned myself in for leaking classified research data. A few minutes later, my father called, furious. "Your brother's life is hanging by a thread—where the hell are you?! I demand you to get to the site and save him right now, or you won't see a single penny of the family fortune!" I pulled the blanket over myself and said into the phone, perfectly composed, "Busy. Don't bother me—I'm trying to sleep."

I ditched a shot at studying abroad to help my boyfriend, Gavin Censori, launch his startup. Stuck it out with him through seven brutal years. Then boom—success hit, and so did the ghosting. On Valentine's Day, he hit me with the classic "work's crazy" excuse. Instead of showing up, he had some random delivery dude drop off a box of cosmetic samples. Samples. Later that night, his secretary Rebecca popped up on my feed, flexing hard. Caption: [With a boss like this, why go home early?] Pic: A box of high-end makeup. Same brand. Hers weren't samples. I dropped a comment: [You're doing great at your sidechick job. Gold star.] Gavin called instantly, losing it. "What's your problem? She's just an employee! I bust my ass making money for you, and you're always jealous!" I laughed. Didn't even yell. Just dumped him. Seven years, and I'd never touched a dime of his. Joke's on him—his precious startup? Secretly bankrolled by me. Fast-forward three years. Business summit. He rolled in wearing a tailored suit. The second he spotted me with a bag of bottles, his smirk kicked in. "Didn't like those cosmetics I gave you, huh? Now look at you—reduced to bottle collecting?"

"Ms. A paano ba patindigin ang balahibo ng babae? Anong dapat kong gawin?" "Search mo" sagot ko "Ms. A paano ba simulan ang s*x?" "Hulaan mo" sagot ko "Ms. A paano mag f*nger?

“Sigurado ka na gusto mo palitan ang pangalan mo, Ms. Anderson? Kakailanganin mo palitan ang degree certificate mo, documentation, at passport sa oras na gawin mo ito.” Tumango si Noelle Anderson. “Sigurado ako.” Sinubukan siyang kumbinsihin ng empleyado. “Hassle para sa mga matatanda na palitan ang pangalan nila, at maganda naman ang kasalukuyan mo na pangalan. Sigurado ka ba na ayaw mo itong pag-isipan?” “Hindi, napag-isipan ko na ito.” Pinirmahan niya ang form. “Pasensiya na sa abala.” “Sige, kung ganoon. Ang pangalan na ipapalit mo… ay Aria Byrd, tama?” “Oo.” Aria Byrd–ibig sabihin paglipad sa kalayaan.

Sabi nila, ang buhay daw ay isang walang katapusang pakikibaka. Minsan, ang mga labang kailangan mong pagtagumpayan ay yaong mga hindi mo inaasahan. Handa ka ba sa anumang hamon ng buhay? Gaano kahanda ang puso mo sa mga bagay na ni sa hinagap ay hindi mo akalaing haharapin mo? Paano kung kinakailangan mong mahiwalay sa pinakamahalagang bahagi ng pagkatao mo? muli ka bang babangon para magpatuloy, o hahayaan ang sariling malugmok sa sitwasyong kinalagyan mo? Sa kabilang dako, gaano kalaking sakrepisyo ang handa mong ibigay para sa isang buhay na nakasalalay sayo? Handa mo bang talikdan ang lahat para sa isang responsibilidad na biglang naatang sa mga balikat mo? Ano ang mga hamon na kaya mong suungin, mga pagbabagong kaya mong harapin para sa isang bagay na hindi mo naman lubos na ma-a-angkin? Ang pag-ibig ba ay laging may depinisyon? Lagi ba itong may basihan at kaagapay na kondisyon? Pano kung ang pagmamahal ay ipinagkait ng panahon, mabibigyan pa ba ng isang pagkakataon? Ito ang mga tanong na minsan ko nang naitanong sa sarili ko, at hanggang ngayo'y gumugulo sa isipan ko. Simple lang naman sana ang mithihin ko, subalit bakit ipinagkait ito sa akin? Naalala ko pa kung paano nagsimula ang lahat...
