April 3, 2013


6:00 PM - I have a bad day and Jocilia just texted me if I'm okay. And I told her that I'm not, she's trying to help me to get rid of it, but I'm totally messed up that day. I thank her for that but just ended our communication just so quick!

6:30 PM - When Jamie called me thru Skype. She was really gorgeous and with those blond curly hair and just a simple make-up - she's really stand out for me and I love the way she smirk. She was really captivating. She makes my day but I don't know, I feel more of her than my present girl friend. 

7:30 PM - I'm about to eat my dinner. Alone. When my phone rang and I needed to picked it up, it was my office mate. Kennex. He invited me and the rest of my office mates to join him to his birthday party and everyone agrees. So, I don't have a choice but to join the gang. And I immediately change my clothes, get all the stuff I need, then I'll go.

8:00 PM - when I finally meet them. It was a disaster - I must say, but I've latter meet a new girl. She's cute, she's seems demure and she's sweet. "A perfect girl just for me" - I told to myself. And suddenly, we both have almost the same attitude and plans for our lives and so, I stay connected with her.

April 4, 2013

12:00 AM - when everyone is already drunk and guess what, I'm one of them. Drinking the last bottle of beer and I guess I really need to go to the bathroom to take away those nuts and excess drinks. I must say I was in total mess. But I just felt that someone touch my back, it was a smoothing hands with sweet caress. Oh yes! It was her. The sweet girl I've met. She smiles at me and told me that I really need to go home and for some reason, my body instantly want to go home. 

12:30 AM - When I finally looked over the familiar building structure, oh yes! It is my boarding house. Finally, I can now have rest and oh my God! I didn't asked for her number and everything went black. 

7:30 AM - Suddenly hears my alarm. Holy cow! It's almost 8:00, I still need to prepare my breakfast, need to take a bath but when I woke up, I feel a very dizzy. "Hang-Over!"  - as I told to myself. Trying to be firm and strong, do the things that I must do and then leave my room where I didn't eat my breakfast. 

8:25 AM - finally ready for the day. 

4:30 PM - when I already arrange my table because the time is almost over. Been busy with those tour inquiries and plane tickets copy. Just about to put to my cabinet when someone just come over, the most black and shiny hair I see for my entire life, those red heart-shaped lips and cute  shaped face with a cute little dimple in the right face. I thought it was a customer, so what I did, I arrange the chair immediately, trying to look smart and then smile. When I'm about to ask, she told me "Stephy" - like what the hell? her voice is really familiar. I just look at her with a very strange reaction in there then she chuckles and said " Nice to meet you - drunk boy?". Oh yes! it was her, the girl in the bar, the girl who's hand is like the hand of an angel. So I smile back at her and told her "Orlan. And nice to meet you too". Then she waited for me until my duty is over. 

5:30 PM - she invited me to go a shopping mall. I agreed and then we really do have a good time. My money is just good for me but she really gladly took all the expenses because according to her, I'm her type - "What????" - I told to myself. "Your type?" - I asked her again. "Definitely" - she answered and then I told her, no one gonna like me. I'm slim and with a 5'3" height, with a very Filipino type of skin "Brown", with a brown eyes and very baduy type of fashion. But hell, she say I'm her type, so I was flattered and can't say anything. I just return the favor and told her that she's my type too. So we both good and everything is just a history.

9:00 PM - when I just look at my phone. My God, I forgot Jocilia. I know she's mad at me. So I tried to call her and asked her if she's mad, but she say no. She really have a patience for me. But I think I have to end up our relationship, I'm not good to her. I lied to her. I stop caring for her. I just don't love her. My feelings for her is now gone. It was not good but I need to tell her. And I texted her about the things that I'm doing but she's still okay with it, so long that she have me and I have her. But it was totally over for me. So I decided for the both of us. I said we're over and she just accept it. 

- Fast Forward -

December 12, 2013

4:00 PM - when I hand over my resignation letter. I can't live to a city, I feel that if I will stay for a little bit longer, I would die because of the changing of temperature - it's killing me. So I decided to go back to my hometown. And by the way, by this time, Jamie and Stephy is long gone. We don't have any communication. At All. And I'm preparing for myself to go back to my real home. 

7:00 PM - when I have my dinner. Someone texted me. It was her. Jocilia. And it seems that everything back. My feelings, my admiration for her, my love for her. I know I still love her. For almost 5 months of being single I think I wanted to win her back. So I replied to her text. I know it was supposedly happy but those happy mood turns into something else. She told me that she will have a summer vacation to her aunt. And guess what, it is in the city where I presently working. But what else I can do. I just wishes her the best of luck and still have 3 months to spend with her before she finally move to this hot place. 

10:00 PM - we both ended our conversation with "I love you". Yes, we're in relationship again. Because according to her, she just waited for me. And now that I'm coming back, she'll back to my arms again.

4:00 PM - when I finally say goodbye to my fellow office-mates. It was just a fair goodbye, I guess. But everything is just normal. 

6:00 PM - Finally I stepped on the bus going back to my hometown. Just really excited to see my family and of course, Jocilia. And since it is a 3-hour ride so I decided to sleep for a while. 

11:00 PM - when I finally got home. Put all my bags and then sleep. Ready for a new life in the morning. And the night is just so cold that's why I really have a very nice sleep. And texted Jocilia that I got home safe with a smile emoji. 

January 31, 2014.

7:00 AM - Jocilia texted me that I should take my breakfast, I smiled looking at her text and then with a beautiful sunrise I tried to make may day as fruitful as it is. 

12:00 NN - when I try to call her and she's having her lunch. Seems that her voice is really happy and I wanted to make her happy too. That's why I told her that I will be visiting her, to her house and she said yes. By the way, this time, her parents know that we are in a relationship. And thank God because everything is under control now. 

4:00 PM - at her house. Everything is doing great. Telling her stories about my life in the big city and how hard it is there. She's just listening to me, just like a little sister and I just love her smile, her voice, her being. I just love her more today than the past days of our lives. And I told to myself. I'm now home.

7:00 PM - needed to go home now. Just show respect to her parents by telling them that I need to go. To her siblings and of course to her. Just about to leave then she kissed me on my cheek. And I froze. It was the best kiss ever. My heart pumps so fast, my brain is like freezing and I can't just talk! I looked at her and touch her face telling her that I will leave. She just nodded. Then I leave her outside her house. Until I reached home, I still touching my cheek. It was the best! Then sleep. 

April 3, 2014 

6:00 AM - she texted me that she needs to go. I don't know, but I really don't want her to go but that's for her future, for her life, for her dream. So I just needed to support her, because I cannot give the financial support. So I just reply to her that she should take good care. And then reply with me with a heart emoji. 

2:00 PM - when she call me and told me that she's already on her aunt's house. Thank God she's safe - as I told to myself. Later that time, when we continue to communicate to each other and to check on her from time to time. Because I don't want to skip any detail of her life. I know she feel the same way when I was also working on that city. And now the table is turning - as I speak to myself.

10:00 AM - I opened my facebook. Someone chatted me, it's my highschool classmate. I replied to him until we came into the conversation that I never expected.
"By the way, Orlan I have a question" - he asked me
"What is that?" - I replied
"Do you know Jocilia?" - he asked me again
"Yes. I know her so well. Why?" - I told him
"Lan. What do you know about her?" - he asked
"She's really sweet, caring, thoughtful, she's a wife-material for me" - I told him
"Really?" - he wants to make sure of it
"Yes! but why?" - I asked him again but this time it's not a good feeling
"Because I asked her for a date and she said yes to me. I'll be back to Cagayan de Oro to meet her" - he told me
"A date?" - I angrily asked
"Yes! And she seems very excited about it" - he told me

And then he confirms that she's courting Jocilia and she's okay with it.
