Call Center Confidential

Sa apartment ko, tanghaling tapat:

"Almost two weeks rin tayong di nagkita ah," ang sabi niya sa akin, habang nakaupo sa isa sa dalawang monobloc chairs na nakaharap sa tv ko. Wala akong sofa sa apartment eh.

I shrugged, "Busy sa work eh. Alam mo naman."

He nodded, and smiled. Sometimes, I cringe when I see him smile. Kakapanlambot eh. Meron siyang tipo ng smile na parang ang hirap tanggihan.

He brushed back his hair, and asked me, "May lakad ka ba ngayong Sabado?"

I thought for a second, "Umm, not yet sure. Baka meron. Baka wala."

He nodded, and asked, a little hesitantly, "If ever wala, punta tayong Fat Michael's sa Bangkal. Gusto kong tikman yung food nila. Sabi mo kasi masarap dun."

I didn't answer.

"Is anything wrong?" he asked again, leaning towards me. I could smell his perfume. He was wearing my favorite scent, Kenzo L'eau Par.

I shook my head, "Wala. Nothing's wrong. Di ko kasi alam kung anung meron ako ngayong Sabado eh."

It was his turn to be quiet, as he crossed his long legs.

"Kumain ka na ba?" I asked him.

He didn't look at me, his eyes fixed on the tv, as he said, "Kumain na ako sa apartment ko. May dala akong spaghetti. Nilagay ko na sa ref mo."

I smiled. Kahit medyo awkward na kami, napapangiti pa rin niya ako. Ewan ko ba, everytime nagtatampo tong mokong na to, lalo akong natutuwa sa kaniya. Sadista ba ako?

He saw me smiling, and he smiled in response, "What's funny?"

I laughed, "Wala."

Shet.

Here I go again...

In less than a month...

aalis ako ng MNL...

papunta dito:

Naiinip na ako.

Got chika?

Need a shoulder to cry on?

Kelangan mo ba ng load?

Got a secret you're just dying to tell?

Or maybe you're just itching to shout out your side of the story to the world?

Remember this guy? Si Eric? Cute Sales Supervisor from MNL? He was in my top ten cute boys last year.

He sent me an email the other day:

Hi Friend,

Just wanna say hi to you! Came across your blog again after adding you up on facebook. Please approve my request! I'm now working here in Sutherland davao as a program supervisor. I terribly miss the people there. Especially the people from the sales department. After a few days of training in Sutherland, I can say that you can't really have it all. I mean there were things that I didn't like in PeopleSupport. But one thing's for sure, the PEOPLE there would surely make you want to go to work even if the work itself sucks. I stayed there for almost 5 years and my friends were one of the reasons why I stayed. Yes, I should have waited for my Kenneth Cole this Ooctober but I had to make a decision. I accepted the offer of Sutherland mainly to be with my family, especially my mom. People Culture there still rocks! I just miss my friends there. Well, malaking minus kasi wlang Ryan Buquir dito sa Sutherland! ASSET ka jan!

I also hope you fix whatever that's needed to be fixed with you familia. Family will always be family. (manermon ba? haha!) All the best to you and your career buqui. Please tell Yhuan that he needs to approve the regularization of my cute agent who's now a part of his team! Kung hindi magkalimutan na lang kami. haha! Sana makavisit ka dito sa Davao. Sama mo yung friend mong si P*****! Wink!

Sincerely yours,

Eric

Dear Eric,

Hello hello hello! Thanks sobra sa sinulat mo. Touch akiz.

And you're right, the people are the reason why most of us last here in this company.

OMG, small world, alam mo ba? Andyan ka sa Sutherland sa Davao, at andyan din si Pumpkin! Ang dating lab of my life!

Kilala mo ba siya?

Ito itsura niya:

Pakisabi sa kaniya, tama na ang sunbathing. Di ako kamo mahilig sa moreno.

Love, lust, and lechon,

P.S.

In regards to my friend P*****, saka ko na siya kakausapin pag binaba na niya ang kilay niya. Hahaha!
