Naddie goes to South Korea

~ Nadine 

*ding*

I swiped my phone para basahin ang message; andito ako ngayon sa tent inaayosan ako. And yes, nagtataping parin kami. 

from: Yassi 

'Bestie! I'm soooo excited for later, pack up na ba kayo?' 

Mamaya na pala ang alis namin for South Korea, kasama ko si Yassi, it's a little treat for myself atsaka malapit na birthday ko. I also need a time out from all the toxic and hectic schedule. 

As for James, he's not gonna be with us. Oo, malungkot ako. We wanted to push through the plan kasama si James, but he has some commitments dito. Pasalamat nga ako kina direk at pinagbigyan nila ako for this trip. 

"babe" 

liningon ko si James na nasa likoran ko. Nakita kong may dinala siyang pagkain and bouquet. 

Nadine: *smiles* "oh babe?" *kisses James' cheek* "Anong meron?" 

James: "hmmmm, wala lang." *puts his hand in his pocket* "I wouldn't be with you on your birthday, so I decided to spend it earlier with you" *smiles* 

Nadine: "Nag-abala ka pa" *smiles* "Thank you!" 

James: "Anong gusto mong gift?" 

Nadine: "Nako, huwag na. Marami ka nang nabigay sa'kin" *upo* "Having you is enough na" 

James: *sighs* "Sabi mo eh"

After naming kumain ni James, the taping continued, kailangan na talaga naming magdali kasi may flight ako mamaya gabi. James' being so clingy,  he keeps on repeating on how much he's gonna miss me. Kahit na it's just for a couple of days. My separation anxiety na yata siya. Smh. (laughs) 

"And cut!" sigaw ni Direk "Pack up na!" 

Lumingon si James sakin with a sad eyes, parang na kokonsensya na ako. A part of me wants to stay, gusto ko pa naman siyang supportahan para sa Smart Jump in event. Pero, I need a break din eh. 

James: *sighs* "Mamimiss kita wifey" 

Nadine: *leans on James* "Hubby, huwag kang ganyan.. Na kokonsensya na ako" 

James: *smiles* "Huwag kang ma konsensya, Alam ko namang you wanted this trip for so long, it's your dream diba? So, don't worry about me." 

Nadine: *giggles* 

James: "Bastaaaaa, you'll come back for me ha?" 

Nadine: *hampas kay James* "Hubby! Ano ba yan! Oo naman, Of course i'll come back for you." 

James: "Talaga?" 

Nadine: "Oo! You're my home nga diba?" 

James: *laughs* "Ayan, Leah Olivar, is that you?" 

Nadine: *napailing* "Ewan ko sa'yo!"

After the taping, hindi na ako umuwi. I have everything with me, nasa sasakyan ni James. He insisted na ihahatid na niya ako kahit alam kong pag pi-piestahin nanaman kami nang press doon. 

Pero dahil mapilit siya, wala na akong magawa. He turned on the engine and drove to the airport. Yassi's on her way there na rin, na e-excite na talaga ako. But this trip would be more exciting if James' with me. 

Tiningnan ko siya while he's driving, ang seryoso niyang tingnan. He's jaw is so firm, nakakadagdag nang pogi points, ang mga mata niya malalim na, halatang pagod. *sighs* mamimiss ko 'to.
