Running

Kadadating ko lang sa bahay pero wala akong panahon para mag-ayos ng sarili. I hurriedly went to my desktop and started what I need to finish. Aminado ako na masyado akong naging kampante sa kakayahan ko. Inisip ko rin na magaling ako na bihira na akong magkakamali. But the most important thing in the end is that you'll learn.

I gave Crispin his share of food, knowing that I won't be able to pay much attention to him due to the overload work.

Napansin ko nga ang napuna ni Jewel. It was really boring when you look at it. Parang walang kabuhay-buhay and it screams ordinary.

I browsed from my previous designs and noticed only a few differences to it. Masyado siguro akong nasanay sa nakagawian kong designs kaya halos nagkakapare-pareho ang mga gawa ko.

All in all, I need like seven to eight designs for bungalows, one for a small building which will include main halls, restrooms, a wide area for events, rooms for staffs and a lot more. Some restaurants also wanted to build branches in the vacation place so I decided on making numbers of stalls.

I stretched my arms and legs as I reached for my phone which is now ringing.

"Hey," si Dim. "Kumusta?"

"I'm doing pretty well," I stopped for a moment. "I think."

"Patingin nga," he said so I captured some images from my drafts and sent it to him.

"Ang ganda naman ah! Sinong may sabing boring?" he truthfully said.

"Thank you, Dimmy," I showed him Crispin before getting back to work.

This time I neglected my weaknesses and focused on my strengths as an architect. I was never a fan of cramming dahil wala akong magandang nagagawa kaya hinayaan kong kainin ko ang oras. Para isang hirap na.

Dim was watching me all night. Ngayon ko lang nalaman na nasa Coron pala s'ya. I've always wanted to go there since I've watched tons of travel vlogs about it. Nainggit tuloy ako.

It's nearly five in the morning and I need to be there by seven.

"Can I see the finale?" Dim asked, yawning.

"I'll send you a snap. Mag-aayos na rin ako. Bye, thank you, Dimmy. Take care yung pasalubong ko ha?"

"Take care of yourself too, lalo na si Crispin," he chuckled.

Nagsend naman ako sa kanya ng gawa ko. I took my time by fixing myself kahit pa sobrang antok ako. The concealer isn't on my side today kaya kitang kita ang eye bags ko.

I wore an army green fitted dress with only one sleeve on the right. I also brought my white Chanel jacket. Hindi ako nagsuot ng sobrang taas na heels dahil medyo malubak doon. I saved the file on my flashdrive before going there.

"Priya, kumusta?" si Ade.

"I'm on my way."

"I knew you could finish it," tuwang-tuwa n'yang sabi. "I don't agree with that Jewel girl but I have to be honest with you. The designs are really good, I swear, pero hindi lang fit sa concept."

"I understand," I smiled kahit pa hindi naman n'ya ako nakikita. "Thank you for the honesty."

"Sure, babe. Ingat sa pag-drive. Love you! See you!" Tumingin naman ako sa gilid at nakitang pikit si Crispin. Doon ko isinabit sa bag n'ya ang flashdrive para madali kong kuhanin.

Maagang maaga akong nakarating sa site pero mas maaga pa rin si Lorenzo. Naroon na rin ang buong team n'ya kasama si Jewel. Kinarga ko naman ang bag kung nasaan si Crispin at pumunta sa tent.
