3 HOURS AND 43 MINUTES-

I've been here 3 hours and 43 minutes and still, nothing. It's almost 7pm and I still can't find a gift for Pa.

"Excuse me, miss?"I called.

"Po?" The sales lady answered.

"Do you have this size in color orange?" I asked showing her the pair of Nikes that caught my attention.

"Just a moment ma'am." She smiled at me then left.

I really hope they have this in that color. Gusto ko maging perfect yung gift ko kay Papa! Orange is his fave color kasi. ^_^

"Ma'am? Opo, here they are, pero light crimson and university gold lang po ang closest to orange na available for the Nike Zoom HyperRev."

"Yeah, okay na po 'to." I assured her smiling. I did good. :D I guess okay na 'tong gift ko for Dad.

"Ma'am, mawalang galang na po, para po sa boyfriend niyo? Swerte naman po niya, ang mahal nito eh. Best seller po namin, latest po kasi." Well, isn't she a little bit nosy. :/

"Hahaha hindi ho. It's for my dad, birthday kasi niya today and I wanted the perfect gift for him." I explained excitedly. I did real good, best seller pala. :D

"Po? Daddy niyo po? Mawalang galang na po ulit pero, 'di po ba parang hindi age appropriate ang basketball shoes para sa tatay?" Aba? -_- Madaldal na, epal pa. Haaay, people these days. 'Di bale, I should be nice to her, a good girl, just like mommy wanted me to be.

"Hahahaha I don't think so miss. Those are perfect for my dad!" I smiled at her.

"Bakit naman po?"

"Kasi miss, PBA player yung dad ko eh. So I guess basketball shoes are the perfect gift?" Her face fell, confusion written all over her face. Ano ba sa tingin niya ang age ko to have an old dad? Grabe ha.

"My dad's Anderson Hemmings, Alabang Stallions' import and 7 time MVP." I said a little too braggy. Well, what? It's all true.

Her mouth fell slighty open. "Talaga ma'am?! Grabe po, kasama niyo po ba siya ngayon? Pa-picture naman po!" She exclaimed, looking flustered. Geez, one of dad's 'admirers' I guess.

"Sorry po, he's not with me. Sige miss, I really have to get going. Thanks." I smiled, took the box then hurried for checkout, baka mangulit pa siya ulit eh.

"Goodevening po." The checkout guy smiled cheekly at me.

"Here." I gave him the box then paid for the shoes. Time to go home for Papa's party, at last! :D

"Excuse me, miss?" Some guy called after me.

"Yeah?" I turned around.

"I know this sounds really weird and random but, can you hold my hand?" What?? He might be high or something. But he doesn't look like it.

I looked at him bewildered at his question.

"Why?" I asked cautiously.

"Kase miss, my ex-girlfriend just walked in the store with a new guy, so I was wondering...." I stopped listening, getting what this guy was trying to say, kaya pala. Awwe, naturally I felt bad for him so I held his hand and intertwined our fingers together.

This shocked him a little, maybe surprised that I would actually help him.

"Come on." I gave him a sympathetic smile.

He smiled back. "Salamat miss ah." In all honesty tho, he's quite good looking, bakit kaya sila nag break ng ex niya? Hmmm..

"So? What now?" I asked. We were walking around the store.
