Minsan lang ako ma fall and to top that up sa tao pa na taken. I, sometimes, want to give up in love, sa lahat nga ba'ng nangyari sa akin who would want to continue but, no, I didn't because I still have that tiny weeny bit of hope that somehow, somewhere, someday I would find my destiny, my OTP. Who wouldn't want that diba? But little Cupid here still didn't shoot that special arrow. Wasting time on finding my "The One".

It all started with a fine morning.
Today feels good, no cloud rains, sun still not fully risen yet, it just has this chill vibe going on. Kaya I decided to jog around the park with my dog.
*bogsh*
What the hell. Ano ba naman yan kahoy? Bato? Ang tigas kasi, and who's in their right mind na maglagay nang 'Whatever this is' sa gitna ng daan, akala ko pa naman na chill day ko ngayon.
I stumble a little but got a hold on my balance and has a clearer vision to what I bump into. I went silent because it wasn't a tree nor a rock. It was a gorgeous human being that I have ever seen. Not to brag, but I've seen a lot of hot men with rock hard body but not like this one who's in front of me, it looks like he just came out of a painting- so unrealistic.
I came to my senses when I realize I was staring at him for a good five minutes of admiring his well damn defined face. Not that I'm complaining, though.
Embarrassed at what I did, my whole face slowly began looking like a big tomato. Pinapahiya mo ang sarili mo selp, staph it. My inner thoughts said.
I am about to open my mouth to say sorry and blabber some nonsense when BHB-breathtaking human being, talk first (called him BHB, cause why not?).
"Are you okay? Did I somehow hurt you? Are you hurt somewhere?" BHB ask. Worry starting to show on his face.
I wanted to laugh at him because of how he look, but pinigilan ko, baka mapahiya ko pa lalo ang sarili ko.
"Hey, I'm alright. I'm not even hurt or anything," I said, smiling at BHB.
"Kasalanan ko din nanam. I sometimes walk aimlessly, so bumping at someone or something is a no surprise for me now," I added to lessen the awkwardness.
He still had this uncertain look on his face, but decided to believe it. He smiled at me, showing his white, pearly teeth.
"Uhh... I'm Logan Sy by the way, and you must be Kai?" Pagpapakilala niya. Waiiiit, how did he know my name na di ko naman s'ya kilala? I ask myself.
"Yes?.. How did you know me?" Huhu stalker ko ba 'to or what? But at least gwapo diba? The little devil inside me said, not even worried.
"Ohhh yeah... must have sounded like a creep there. Sorry," Logan chuckles, a hint of pink in his cheeks. Cute...
"I'm the one who's living next to you, so we are basically neighbors. Known you since I sometime saw you going to work, and somehow I heard somebody called you Kai," Ohhh kaya pala... assuming ko minsan haha.
"Awh... Kadin de Asis, nice to finally meeting you pala neighbor," I fully introduce myself to him.
Teka nga, parang... parang may nakalimutan ako. It has something to do with my hands kasi yun, I forgot what it is.
My head's a mess thinking kung ano yung nakalimutan ko. Di ko na napansin ang tingin ni Logan sakin dahil sa kakaisip.
Then I saw a dog running or maybe chasing something in my peripheral vision, then it hit me.
"Ohh damn... shit...SHIT... MY DOG!!" I don't know what to do. I look at Logan, noticing that his looking at me, trying to stop smiling.
"So... Are we going to chase your dog? Or continue staring at each other?" He said, grinning like an idiot. Giving a small shade of pink on my cheeks. KAHIYAAA SELPPP!!!
"Di ko knows na clown na pala ako ngayon, comedian na lang pala pinasokan kong trabaho," (insert Cong tv crying meme) "Sige oks lang, tanggap ko na for entertainment lang pala life ko para sayo."
He just laughed at me like I'm some kind of joke. He then ran, chasing my dog. I just look at his running figure in disbelief and join chasing my dog.
Thirty-five minutes later, we finally catch Orion, my dog, after chasing him around the park. We both fall to the ground, exhausted, while laughing.
I look at him, admiring his happy face. How I wish to look at it every day, but everything has an end. I look away baka makita pa nya akong nakatitig.
"Care to have breakfast with me?" Logan ask, "It's already nine, and I haven't eaten yet. I assume na hindi ka pa kumain, kaya sabayan mo na ako."
Woah akala ko he didn't know how to speak in tagalog. I stop myself, looking a bit in shock.
Who am I to decline diba? So I agree and we both went to a nearby eatery. We get inside and sit at the table near the window.
"Food's here are delicious. Lagi akong kumakain dito kapag wala akong gana magluto," I started a conversation para hindi awkward.
Minutes later, the waiter came to take our orders. We then talk about random nonsense conversation. Logan and I laugh like idiots, not minding the attentions we get.
The waiter then came with our orders in hand.
We talked and eat like we know each other long enough. I just realize na marami pala kaming common likes and dislikes, just like he also has a dog name, Side.
Like what a coincidence both our dogs have Greek name and married on the Greek mythology (based on my research- google).
Is it destiny? Is God giving me a chance to love and be love? Stop assuming self, you'll get hurt. My thoughts said.
After this and that's inside the eatery. We decided to go home.
We arrive at our apartments. Papasok na sana ako, but he stopped me on doing so.
"Kai...if, maybe, you know when you are not busy. We should sometimes hang out?" Logan said, not sure if his asking a question or not.
"Yeah sure and you can visit here if you needed anything."
He just smiled and nodded. We both then bid goodbye and enter our apartments.
