SLATE

At last! Uwian na! Wooooooh! Kahit papaano may pahinga na ako mula sa nakakainis na trabahong yun. Well, hehe, I'm glad to say that I survived a whole day.. doing all of those boring paperworks. Though.. I always took breaks every 1 hour.. How could my brother do any of this?? Parang antok na antok na nga ako na gusto ko nang maglagay ng barbecue stick sa pagitan ng mga mata ko para lang dumilat eh. I guess he just loved his work so much, because I'm sure he has more work than me. And his passion for what he's doing is the one that keeps him going.

Yun nga eh, paano naman ako? Wala akong kahit anong nagtutulak man lang sa akin para ipagpatuloy 'tong ginagawa ko. Hmm, besides their expectation for me to go as high as my brother..? Pero teka, hindi yun maca-count as inspiration!? Argh, ang hirap naman nito! Hindi kasi 'to katulad nung nagtatrabaho pa si Angelie kay kuya eh, that time, may dahilan ako para magtrabaho.. but now?

Napabuntung hininga ako.

If only I had an inspiration..

I went out from the building then went to my car. I'm going home! At pinaharurot ko na ang kotse ko. Oh wait. Parang gusto ko ng coffee. Teka, makahanap nga ng malapit na Starbucks dito.
After a few minutes of search, luckily, I found one nearby.

I ordered a Machiatto and then went back to my car. Hindi na 'ko umupo sa mga tables doon, ang awkward kasi kapag mag-isa ka lang tapos wala ka pang ginagawa. It's cozier in my car anyway.

I was sipping my coffee when suddenly..

What the heck!?

EUPHIE

Owwww! My neck hurts! Basically, all I did came for a price.. dahil sa pabalik-balik kong tingin from the computers to the things outside my office.. kulang na lang yata mag-rotate ng 360 degrees ang ulo ko.. now my neck freaking hurts! Argh, dahil sa pagka-paranoid ko na nasobrahan, ayan! Hay.. next time.. next time.. Promise hindi na talaga! Buti na lang uwian na. Aaah, I wanna go home and rest! Ay teka, may tatapusin pa pala muna ako.. kaunti na lang!

After a few minutes, I finally finished my work.

"Yesss! My precious bed, here I come!!" I said while I was going outside the building. I took the bus, as always. Ugh! I feel intoxicated, maybe I should just walk? Yeah, I guess fresh air that would make me feel better.

While I'm walking my way home, I saw the Starbucks along Fontainebleau Blvd. Hm, coffee? Nevermind, I'll pass.. if I wanna hit the sack, I might as well avoid drinking anything with caffeine, and coffee is a big no-no. But, as I was about to walk away.. something caught my drowsy eyes.. that again, made my eyes sparkle.

"Oh my gosh! A Hennesey Venom GT?" I checked the logo of the car. "It is! It is! OMG! OMG! The world's fastest car is right in front of me! And it looks cooler in personal than on TV!" I jumped out of excitement. "But why is a car as awesome as you out here on the street?" I looked around to see if the owner is nearby. Why of course!? It is parked in front of Starbucks, so it means the owner is inside! Hahahaha!

Stupid.

"Well I guess it wouldn't hurt to take a picture, right?" I took my phone out of my bag and took a picture of the car. "Now I can put this picture on my desk! Perfect!" After taking the picture, I touched the car. Woaaah, it is.. so... asdfghjkl! I think I've found my dream! May dahilan na 'ko para makapag-ipon! Hm, that'll help me not to waste money, only though hindi ko alam kung aabot ang lahat ng mga pag-iipon ko kahit tumanda pa 'ko pambili ng kahit gulong nito, hahaha.

I looked into the windows. Oh, it's tinted, a perfect substitute for a mirror! Then I thought of something stupid..

WACKY FACE Time!
