Pathway to Success (Chasing Series #1)

Chapter 04

Inilaan ko lang lahat ng oras ko sa paggawa ng plates, I need to pass it na tomorrow because deadline na nitong pinapagawa sa amin nag focus lang ako and I do some sketches na rin para doon sa medyo malayo pa na deadline na binigay sa amin.

It's 12:32 am na and tapos na rin sa wakas! Natulog na rin ako pagkatapos.

Another day na naman and a-agahan 'kong pumasok to pass it early. I'm walking in the hallway nakasalubong ko si Fred na Engineering din dito sa UST kaya medyo-medyo nakipag chikahan ako sa kanya.

 Naging classmate ko din sya noong high school kami kaya ayan tuloy natagalan ako mag pass nevermind.

"Tsh" I hissed.

 I think it's okay naman, I hope makakuha ulit ako ng high grades sobrang saya ng araw ko na kanta-kanta pa ako ngayon. Hapon na and I'm done na sa class for today.

So I texted Yanna to come over sa isang coffee shop na sinabi ko. I just waited her after few minutes she is here na gusto ko lang kasi siyang maka musta hindi naman daw sya busy kaya pumayag siya na magkita kami so ayun hindi rin kami nagtagal sa coffee shop kaya nag paalam na kami sa isa't isa.

"Bye, take care" Yanna said softly.

"You too," I replied back.

Umuwi na ako sa condo ko feeling ko napagod ako mag hapon kahit wala naman masyadong ginawa kaya pagkatapos kong mag half bath I ate dinner na rin.

 I just ordered a carbonara and a 2 slice of pizza hindi na ako masyado nag rice ngayon, diet, nag toothbrush na rin ako at maya maya nakatulog na rin.

Days passes by and it's Saturday nandito na rin ulit kami ng mga kaibigan ko I, Yanna, Reina, Sam and Coery nasa couch lang kami chilling we don't ordered hard drinks for now at sumakit ang ulo namin last time.

 Katabi ko si Sam sa couch and katabi naman nya ay si Reina yung dalawa ay nagpunta sa dance floor.

"Oyy ash" Sam loudly said.

"Yeah why?" Sabi ko habang nakakunot ang noo.

"May irereto ako sayo bagay kayo sa tingin ko your so cute together. I imagined na kaagad!" Samantha said while smirking.

"His name is Callix" she acted like a kid na parang kinikilig.

"So?" sabi ko naiirita na ako hindi naman ako nag hahanap ng jowa!

"Anong so? so ka pa dyan aba letse ka ah, by the way basketball player ng La Salle pogi raw" she smiled. Mukhang ipagkakanulo ako ng babaeng ito nararamdaman ko!

"Luh asa ka, mukha ba akong nag hahanap ng boyfriend? pati ayaw ko pa I'm not ready duh"

"Edi wag bwiset HAHAHAHAHAHW" -sam

Nag inuman lang kami dito syempre may limit kasi walang mag uuwi sa amin kanya-kanyang drive. Pabalik balik lang kami sa dance floor and dito sa couch namin minsan nakikita ko yung mga ibang kakilala mula sa universities.

Tulala lang ako dito...sabaw na sabaw na ang isip.

"Hoy aba tulala ka na dyan" sabi sa 'kin ni Yanna.

"Ha ano? anong sabi mo?"

Pumalakpak siya ng isang malakas sa mukha ko kaya napabalik ako sa realidad na nandito pala ako kasama ang mga kaibigan ko dahil 'kung ano-ano ang naiisip ko tatayo sana ako para pumunta ng restroom nang may lalaking saktong dumaan sa harapan ko kaya nagkabunggo kami.

Muntik na akong ma-out of balance buti nasalo niya ako 'kung 'di niya ginawa 'yon siguro nahulog na ako sa sahig. 

Mga ilang segundo kaming nag katitigan our eyes met at parang may something dun na hindi ko kayang ma-explain. 

"Uhm sorry I didn't mean it" the handsome guy spoke and his voice was so damn deep!

" I'm sorry too about what happened" I smiled at him and he smiled back at me though.

I think he is a little bit of drunk na rin because I can smell the alcohol in him.

"That's nothing by the way what's your name?" he suddenly asked.

"I'm Ash." i didn't give my information just my nickname because I don't know him either. Hindi naman para ibigay ko pa 'no!

He's just a stranger. 

Umiwas ako ng tingin because his stare was so intimidating! 

"Nice name, see you around " he smiled at umalis na kaagad.

Hindi ko na siya natanong ng kanyang pangalan dahil tinawag na rin ako ng mga kaibigan ko.

Ater that scene parang ang dami 'kong naiisip, that guy was so handsome I can't even explain his jaw, face, nose, and even his eyes. He's like perfect! Pati 'yung tangos ng ilong niya. Most of all his pinkish lips.

That was such a damn good looking man pero mukhang snob! I rolled my eyes.

And I just went home, I'm here at my condo naka hilata sa kama overthinking about earlier he is so attractive. Nakatulugan ko ang pag iisip sa nangyari kagabi.

It's Sunday! 

I have a lot of things to do. I just woke up and went to the washroom to have a toothbrush and to wash my face.

After that I just checked my refrigerator kung anong available na puwedeng lulutuin. May nakita akong pwede kaya ito na lang. Hotdog with cheese, bacon, egg and a toast bread ang mga iyon and also a coffee for morning though.

 I went to the gym near my condo to have some stretching and work out. First I go to the treadmill and after that I do russian twist, and I get a 10kg barbell to have some squats.

After a few hours in the gym, I go to the washroom to have a cold shower, nagbihis na rin ako ng oversized shirt and maong short and dumaretso lang ako sa isang korean restaurant and ordered bibimbap at umuwi na rin kaagad sa condo around 1pm to to some research about Chinese architecture Ancient is mainly timberwork.

Wooden posts, beams, lintels and joists make up the framework of a house. Walls serve as the separation of rooms without bearing the weight of the whole house, which is unique to China. The layout of a courtyard complex is also unique to China.

And then I started sketching. After that nagpahinga na rin ako.... it was a tiring day nakaka sabog ng utak! kasi yung iba puro terms and mostly some ancient kung saan pinag aaralan ang structure.

I just check my social media account and muntik konang madura ang juice na iniinom ko ng makita ko sa instagram.

@callixrmrz started following you naka public kasi ang account ko so anyone can follow me, na curious tuloy ako dun sa @callixrmrz so I stalk him pagka kita ko palang ng profile nya sya yung guy na nasa bar kagabi na naka bunggo ko pagtayo.

Callix Akien Ramirez

Siya pala 'to and he even liked one of my pictures that I posted here on Instagram.

'Yung profile nya is parang aesthetic nasa bar siya na parang naka side view, kaya kitang kita ang tangos ng ilong niya.

Wala siyang masyadong post dahil iisa lang yun at picture lang ng night road trip. Masyado namang private nitong tao!

And nag dm pa talaga siya sa akin so nasa request siya kasi hindi iko naman finollow back, e.

Kaya inaccept kona lang, wala namang masama siguro doon.

callixrmrz: hi

ashalvarez: hello?

callixrmrz: how you doin? lol.

ashalvarez: why you asking me?

callixrmrz: sungit mo naman miss

Ano ba naman 'to?! He's not my type masyado siyang nakakainis.

ashalvarez: Wala ka nang pakialam doon we are not even close at saka paano mo nalaman pati apelyido ko, huh?!

callixrmrz: your friend

Sineen ko lang sya at naiinis na dito dahil 'kung sinong nagbigay ng information ko? Pusta ko si Samantha to letse!
