MONDAINE SACH

"Oh my gosh! I'm super duper late! What the fuck!" I almost forgot I have my job interview today and I only have 30 minutes to prepare. Damn!

"Mommy, why didn't you wake me up this early?" I called mom in the living room. She's watching some terrific tv shows as if she doesn't know about my appointment today.

We live in a two-storey house here in Makati, which my Australian dad bought for us. My dad visits us here only once in a blue moon, and that's so annoying because we're missing him. I grew up in Sydney and decided to be here after my college. I don't speak the Philippine language. We've just been here for only six months, I guess, so I'm not yet familiar with Filipino or Tagalog. .

"Mommy?!" I yelled at her because it seems that she's so focused on what she sees on the television.

"Oh, dear you're awake! Eat your breakfast now." She answered without even looking at me.

"Mommy, I gotta go. I have my job interview today, but you didn't wake me up. I'm so damn late."

"Ah, so it was my fault? Nah, little Daine, go now or loose that job! I've been waking you up so early but you just hid in your blanket. Now, go!" My mom told me those in an authoritative voice.

I ran as fast as I could as soon as I reach this huge building where I was scheduled for an interview today. I am already fifteen minutes late!

"Ah, excuse me Miss, where's the CEO's office?" I asked the receptionist. In fairness, she looks so gorgeous.

"Do you have any appointment with the CEO, mam?" she politely replied.

"Yes, actually I have an interview with him and I think I am about twenty minutes late." Oh shame on me.

"What?? Mam, you must impress him even in your first interview. By the way, you're Mondaine Sach, right?" She asked as if she knows me.

"Yes, how did you know?"

"Because the CEO told me to give your resume back as soon as you get here. He's no longer interested to hire you." She gave me a folder containing my résumé and credentials with a "you don't belong here" look and a raised eyebrow.

"What? The heck! No, please let me talk to him. I badly need that job. I need that job! Don't you get it?!" I didn't notice I was already screaming out loud in that lobby. My gosh that's so embarrassing.

All the staff on that area gave their most scary glance. I hurriedly went out of that building before they eat me.

So unfortunate me, because as soon as I get outside, I was hit by a vacuum vendor with the vacuum's handle into my face.
I was knocked out on the street. Oh huh.. Ouch what a life men! The ending, I was brought to the hospital. Clumsy me, isn't it?

STEVE REYES' POV

"Ma, nun nagpaulan po ba ang Diyos ng charm at kaguwapuhan tulog ako?" seryosong tanong yan na ngayo'y naisipan kong itanong kay mama. Pano ba naman kasi sa 20 niligawan ko 25 ang bumasted sa akin! Saklap ng buhay. Graduate naman ako ng college at may magandang trabaho. I'm kind and sweet, too. Pero bakit? Buhay nga naman oh parang life na walang buhay na pilit binibigyang life. Gulo eh, noh? Feel niyo ba mga dude?

"Anak, don't tell me nabasted ka na naman?" Halata naman magtatanong pa si Mama. Pang ilang beses na ba'to? Di ko na ata mabilang. Since college pa'ko wa epek na sa mga chicks tong mukha kong pang 70's.
