The Alternate World of RaStro

The Call

We are happy for Ate Marian and Kuya Dong. They are blessed with the coming of their first born. Sino naman ang hindi matutuwa, but I can't help it.

I don't have any grudges.

I'm just disappointed.

Ate Yan texted me,

Hi Glai, ingat sa pag uwi. I'm so sorry, I know you're disappointed but I'm sure you'll do fine. And na meet ko na yung papalit sa'kin and I'm sure mag ki-click kayo >wink<.

I texted her back.

"Thanks Ate, Congrats sa inyo! I'm happy for you and Kuya Dong. I was shock ngalang but I guess that's because na kondisyon na ang isip ko na ikaw ang makakatrabaho ko. But don't worry Ate, I'll be fine. Pero ma-mimiss kita."

It was the longest 5 minutes then I got a reply from Ate Yan.

Sorry ha, on our way home na. At same here ma-mimiss rin kita. I am proud of you, just continue what you're doing and everything will be fine.

That was the last text I got from her that day. Hindi ako makatulog.

And na meet ko na yung papalit sa'kin and I'm sure mag ki-click kayo."

Who are you Jade? Di ko ma alis sa isip ko and text ni Ate Marian.

Direk Dom told us we'll be meeting the new Jade tomorrow sa shooting. My call time is 2pm however I wish it's earlier than that. I need to meet her at the same time I am dreading the idea na baka mailang ako sa kanya.

If she's one of the Kapuso stars then I'd be fine. Maraming pag-pipili.an eh. Now a slideshow of prospects flashes across my mind. Lovi Poe, Ryza Cenon, Jennylyn Mercado, Rhian Ramos....

Owwww... there she goes again. Well to be honest, gusto kong maka trabaho si Rhian. Bagay kami.. Sandali! Bagay kami bilang Althea at Jade. Ano ka ba Glaiza...nababakla ka nanaman. Umayos ka!

"Ate sino yang kausap mo? 'wag mo kasing pagalitan. Mam'ya mag tatampo yan" nakakatawa talaga mga linya nitong kapatid ko.

"Sige pa at iau-audition na kita sa isang comedy bar. Try mo rin kayang kausapin 'yang sarili mo para naman hindi ako ang lagi mong inaasar."

"Hahaha di ko kaya 'yan. Ikaw lang ang may talent na ganyan." naging seryoso ang mukha ng kapatid ko. "Talaga bang iiwan ka na ni Jade? Hindi pa nga umi-ere basted ka na kaagad? ARAY!"

Isang throw pillow ang lumagapak sa mukha nya.

"Hahaha basted si Ate." mahal ko naman 'tong kapatid ko. Pero minsan gusto kong istapler ang bungaga para lang manahimik.

"Excuse me, hindi ako iniwan ni Jade. Malay mo, mas maganda pang Jade ang darating. Hahaha"
