"The wedding will start soon, hurry up."

Kanina pa ako tinatawag ng mga barkada ko. Kanina pa kasi ako nakatunganga sa labas. Kinakabahan ako.

I've waited for this day for Keila. The day I will be able to just look at her walk down that beautiful aisle.

I can't wait to witness her beautiful and mesmerizing smile. The smile I fell in love with, the smile I treasured for years, the smile I will never get tired of watching.

Inayus ko ang tie ko bago pumasok. Everybody is so ready, ako nalang yata ang hindi.

"Dude, ba't ka kinakabahan? Diba dapat si Keila ang dapat pag pawisan?" saway ni Andrew sa tabi ko.

Actually kanina pa ako pinagpapawisan, I can't even concentrate driving my way here.

Puno na ang simbahan, all our friends are here including yung mga professors namin nung college pa kami.

I met Keila back when I shifted my degree program to HRM. I'm a year older than her but sabay kaming nag graduate. I chose Chemical Engineering at first but na realize ko na it's not what I really want.

Both my parents supported me on my decision to be a Chef. Wala akong kaibigan noon sa school. Home school ako since Elementary hangang High School. So probably, I only got the chance to acquiant and socialize with people nung College na ako.

At first nahirapan akong mag adjust, though I know how to cook but I don't know how to reach out to other people.

Nag umpisa nang mag tugtog yung pianist, violinists at cellists. Agad naman ding nag umpisang kumuha ng litrato ng mga photographers.

My happiness is beyond measure and for that I am forever thankful. Ever since I met Keila, nagkaroon ako ng maring kaibigan at good lucks.

I believe God sent me Keila as my living angel since the day she said "Hi".

Hindi ako sigurado kung ako ba yung binati ng babae. Kaklase ko sya but I'm sure hindi nya ako na papansin.

"Hoy!" she suddenly called me hoy atsaka umupo sa tabi ko. Geez, this woman is crazy.

"Kinakausap kita ah." hindi ko pa rin sya tinignan. I'm so pissed. Can't she see I'm studying? Anong tingin nya sakin?

Bago pa sya makapagsalita, kinuha ko yung bag ko at tumayo. I was about to make a step paalis but she suddenly blocked me.

Napatingin ako sa kanya. At first galit na expression ang pinakita ko but heck! this girl is so lovely.

"Anuba?" I asked harshly. Galit ako at the same time nagugustuhan ko ang presensya niya.

"Gusto ko lang naman sana e benta tong' cookies ko." then she pouted a bit making her dimples show. "But since nagalit ka pa, wag nalang."

Paalis na sana sya but "Wait.." she turned habang nakakunot yung noo nya. "Magkano ba yang cookies mo?"

Tumawa sya at lumapit, this time with a grin on her face. "10 pesos ang isa."

Why the heck would a single cookie marks a price of 10 pesos? I'm not saying na wala akong pera or maliit lang ang allowance ko but this girl is over pricing her cookies for pete's sake!

"What? Bat' ang mahal?" yes, bat ang mahal, miss? may quota ka ba dyan?

"Hello? Crisis ngayon noh! Tsaka ang mahal-mahal kaya ng ginastos ko para lang dito." she said with so much dignity.

Hindi ako bumili ng cookies niya, I would  rather buy 10 pandesal than her 10 php cookie. Tss such shame.

"Max, naalala mo ba yung specialty ni Keila?" natatawang tanong ni Andrew sa tabi ko.
