I dialed my best friend’s phone number and tried calling her again and again.

After 7 times of trying to call her, still no one's picking up. Ugh.

I messaged her on BBM na lang. Atleast she’ll be able to see it.

A. Mendez-

Hoy, Antoinette! Are you busy this afternoon?

Nakipagtitigan lang naman ako sa kisame and thought of what I could do besides lying in my bed and waking up in the middle of the afternoon. I got up from my bed at nag stretch konti dahil nga bagong gising lang ako. Nahilig na kasi ako mag puyat. Hehe

Kung tatanungin niyo naman kung ano ang pinagpupuyatan ko, it’s books. I’m kind of a bookworm. Once I start reading a book and if it really captures my interest, I read non-stop until I finish the whole book in just ONE single day. Yep, ganun ako kaadik. Tapos nag series-watching-party kami ni Diii. Marathon ng Big Bang Theory at How I Met Your Mother.

Agad naman akong pumunta sa walk-in-closet ko para pumili ng damit. I’ve decided that I’m going to the mall since that’s my best option. I know how to shop but I do know my limitations when I go shopping. Unlike almost every teenage girl I know, hindi ako yung tipong kesyo 'may kaya' eh nagwawalgas na ng pera at bibilihin kung ano yung latest or whatever I lay my eyes upon without thinking if I really need it or not.

Weird, right? Siguro talagang nasa genes ko na talaga ang pagiging thrifty. Although, hindi ko alam kung kanino ko namana yun. 

Narinig ko naman na may nag PING! sa akin. So, I’m guessing she finally replied. Napatigil ako sa pagpili ng damit ko at chineck ko kung siya ba yung nag message.

SALG.14-

Nope, I’m not available today. Bukas na lang! EK tayo?

I quickly replied and said...

A. Mendez-

Oh okay, sure! Sunduin mo na lang ako ha? 

SALG.14-

Yeah.

A. Mendez-

Eh yung twins, si Andie pa?

SALG.14-

Eh yung kambal, out of the country. Si Andie, may appointment with the therapist or psychologist or whatever. Si Sum at Trev ba?

A. Mendez-

Si Sum- modelling. Si Trev naman may art exhibit na kailangan puntahan. Representative ng mga Roxas.

SALG.14-

Eh si Ian?

*dubdubdubdubdubdubdubdubdubdubdub*

MENDEZ, PLEASE. CALM YOURSELF.

A. Mendez-

I know nothing about his whereabouts.

SALG.14-

Hay, fine. Guess we’re stuck with each other! Pick you up at 9?

A. Mendez-

Okay, don’t be late! Anyway, I gotta go. I was supposed to ask you to shop with me but it seems like you’re busy so I won’t disturb you any further :P Byeee, see ya'
