NOVEL "Picture Perfect" Part 5 3/?

The weather is fine. The sky is so bright, the sun had his Job well done.
The color of the day ... "red"
"Red" as in love,love,love.
I'm not a bull but since we left the school i can see people's clothes with that color.
maybe it's someone's birthday? I dunno.
hmmm...

I'm noticing such little things.
It happens a lot recently. dunno. hehe..
Well what I'm really trying to say is... it's a perfect day.

"What are you thinking?",
Her voice. was so lovely and sweet. very distinct, I can recognize her voice even from afar.
I turned my head as she finally went out the C.R. almost half an hour but it's alright.
a could wait for ages =)

"nothing. just playing with my eyes".

"which happens a lot recently."

"hehe... but don't worry, i can set em up to you with a "target locked on" whenever you are near."

"W'ever. I'm in a good mood today. where are we going?"

"eh? i thought you want to visit your sis?"

"nah...i changed my mind. i want to go somewhere i don't know."

"tss. you went through a lot of places, it'll be hard for me to think of a pl-"

We ride in a passenger jeep. Bet she don't take this ride for so long, since she became stupidly happy with just this small thing.
I'm happy for her.

All the passengers were looking at her. As if she was a kind of saint.
coz they're faces. were like...
can't explain. anyway, just imagine it. whatever.

I took her in a church, in a plaza of a town that I was familiar of. It was the church dad takes us when I was a child. ahhh. missed those days.
miss this place too.
though it don't look like what it was 12 yrs.ago.
nyways, it still looks cool.
I smelled the air...
ahh... it feels just like before. but a little polluted I guess.

"Eh? you love pollution that much? you should have just come to manila and inhale all the smoke you can take. haha. my boyfriend is a freak."

"Whatever. It feels cool... I miss this place. You should try this in your favorite place too. Taking somebody you love, and enjoy the moment together"

she smiled...
and rubbed my hair again, damn it's already been her hobby.

"Know what?". she said after a hug she just did.

"w-what?"

"I'm finding it cool to be a your girlfriend."

"you must've inhaled the pollution too."

"hey, it's for real... I'm learning some cool things from you, and know what?"

"what again?"

"i think i'm going to introduce you to mom and dad."

"M-mom and Dad?"

wind blew very hard...
what did she said just now? oh...
she's going to introduce me to her awesome dad and her gorgeous mom.
that's cool...

the hell!!!!! damn, I'm panicing!!!
what if her parents gets a bad impression about me.

*imagined things*
Almira's sis: oh god! mom! call a herbalist!!!!!

ALmira's mom: *cries* oh dear, you have a very poor taste.

Almira's dad: you're boyfriend?! i thought he was your new driver! dammit!.
*eyes drooled*

"H-hey!, what was that your thinking again? tsk. are you scared?"

"h-hell no."

"Don't worry, i'm sure they will like you."

"r-really?"

"Yes!i'm sure they will."
After that i sighed, this is something i can do nothing about. After all, Almira is my girlfriend, i know soon enough there will be a time to meet her family.
I just didn't thought that it will be this soon.
She grabbed my hand and with her permanent smile all my worries disappeared.

"shall we?."
with that look from her eyes I thought i shouldn't worry that much.
Almira's with me.
nothing can beat the feeling with her.
and from that thought I smiled...
I know she's feeling what happiness i'm feeling right now.

she said as we walked our way to the chapel.

"next time i'm gonna take you to my favorite place"

love,love,love~

NOVEL "Picture Perfect" Part 5 2/?

I went to school still with the thoughts in my mind.
Even in the ride I had this smile, greeting everyone whose face seemed familiar.
It feels good. Just thinking Almira is waiting for me back home makes me shiver but in a good way. [a line in Stephen King’s Song Passenger Seat] was way back in 2003… I guess


“Whoo!” I shouted like a bastard and I know it made me weird in front of the passengers.
But it’s fine… it’s the only way to express how I feel right now.
I realized I’m already late, but I don’t give a damn.
I had a good breakfast and a good sight first thing in the morning.
The hell am I supposed to feel down just being late.
“A-ha-ha-ha-ha.”. now everyone’s really bothered.
I arrived at school holding on to that feeling.
I remembered bumping someone as I walked stupidly
[the lalala~ walk] but it’s okay.
With just a smile they can forget how stupid I was that day.
I saw my classmates, they’re already leaving the campus.
Was then I knew that the orientation has been moved two hours from the set time.
Damn… I should’ve spent more time with her. Damn classmates, they should’ve told me earlier. Screw them.
Well, I decided to join them in a fast food chain. Though I know that my stomach is already filled with Almira’s loving servings.
I sat silently though I’m having a good time.
Everyone is excited to share they’re summer experiences.
I don’t feel sharing mine, I know they all knew about it due to some of my TV exposures.
“I may fall asleep, I’m with two silent kids beside me.” – ate Milda. Was the oldest on the group, she’s still good with teasing…very very good.
She’s talking about me and Anne….
Speaking of Anne, she’s like the girl version of Minoz.
[was one of my stupid friends…at the pool party, remember?]
Hmm. The only difference is that Anne doesn’t sleep a lot on school just like what Minoz usually does.

I kept quiet. I saw Chichi, was so silent too.
I bet she knew what summer I had due to the fact that I shared something to her.
Well… I don’t know if she can still remember it due to her drunken state that time.

So…what happened is I ate with them even though I was already full.
Luckily I met a classmate from high school.
She was, a cashier in that food chain. I wanted to greet her and stuffs, but she won’t allow me to do that.
Sigh. I really miss my high school days. I was the president of the class for three years.
I had problem with this girl due to her absences, our principal always ask me to take care of this girl. But look at her now.
I don’t know if she’s just shy? But … she can’t even look at me straight in the eye and say “how’re you doing”…sigh.

Well anyways, after that we went back to school to attend the orientation.
The first one I saw is my friend, chard. Geez I don’t know how to describe this guy.
He is… smart yet he does not know anything. Something like that.



So I sat with him we had chit chat at the orientation.
and I felt like sharing my secret to him

“dude…Almira… she’s my girl now”.
I spoke softly coz I don’t want everyone to hear this news coming out from me.

“who’s Almira?”

“the hell? You don’t know her?!”
“is she… a schoolmate?”
“geez…you should watch shows other than glee.”

He really don’t know Almira… I pitty this guy.

The orientation started. The CIs.. they never fail to scare us.
It was all about our clinical rotation, the orientation was all for.
They kept saying this and that, don’t do this and don’t do that.
My ears started to get irritated.
In the middle of the orientation my phone rang.

I paniced coz Almira changed my ring tone with her personal voice record.
Was like.
“Honnieeeee answer the damn phone”.
Was a really embarrassing , most stupid ring tone I ever heard.
All the people in the orientation started to look on their seatmates trying to find where the sound came from.
But as soon as they figured that the voice was from someone familiar.
Almira’s voice is really distinct.
Was then they turned their heads to me.
As I picked the phone and said “excuse me”

I got kicked from the orientation.
But somehow it felt just okay, I can get home and I got a call by Almira, bet I can take her to a date something.
“you know I’m In an orientation right?”

“ohh…yeah,yeah. Sorry, I was just trying to inform you… I’m at your school right now.”

“eh?”.

“yup, yup. You should skip that orientation and meet me now, before anyone else sees me… you’ll know what will happen after that”.


“Jeez…you should at least inform me first before--- bah… aight, I’m coming.”

I hurried to see her, I don’t want this school to be really crowdy because of her.
But when I arrived, I think it’s already late for that… she’s already surrounded by the sea of faces.

“oh! There he is!, come come!”
She noticed me wandering back and forth. As she pointed her fingers to me, the guys were like “so it’s true?”. How lucky he is. And more stuffs like that.
I walked towards her with a statement - yeah right beat that assholes .
The guys, they split into two, making me walk at the center. No one stood in my way.
[feels like I’m Moses that time :)]

“Tss. You got me kicked from my orientation”.

“Sorry…my bad.” *a hug follows…

“How’d you got here anyway?”

“Mom brought me here, she said she’s going to see a friend. She don’t want to wait for you though”.

“My Mom? Jeez… she is sure acting weird”.
“I like your Mom that way”.

It felt cool, that someone calls my mother “Mom” other than me and my brother.
I bet Mom’s liking it too. That, it’s Almira who calls her like that…

“Uhm...”
I whispered her

“The guys were looking at us, when do you plan to let go”.
She still hugs me, even way tighter.

“Just a little longer, I miss you…”

“Eh? It’s been less than four hours since I left you home.”
“I don’t like that, I want to be with you always. I don’t want to lose you again…”
Her voice started to get serious again…
Whenever she’s like this, I can’t help but to- think of this.
She must really went through a lot of troubles waiting for me.

“J-Jeez… didn’t I told you that those things won’t happen”.

“But it already happened… two years ago.”
Silence had accompanied us.

“S-so, you really did wait for me?”

“of course! I believed on what your ex told me… I have no choice but to wait. Those past two years, it’s been freaking long, dammit ” *sniffs.

It seems like I’m not the only one who went through a lot. I must give her all the credits.

“…seems like everything has been planned, that these things happen for a reason. But whatever reason that may be. I don’t get it… why would I care? I’m happy right now… we both are.”

She soaked her face in my chest. I knew she was crying…
As she lift her face, I saw I smile, a familiar smile… the smile that made me think how lucky I am…the luckiest guy in the world it seems.

A memorable moment for me…
Don’t care about the sea of faces...
All that matters is that, I’m with Almira…she’s happy.
And from that I promised to my self.
“I will do my best to give her the best moments she can ever have. The way she make me feel right now, I’ll return it to her with the same feeling..”

This girl… I really love her.

Novel "Picture Perfect" Part 5 1/?

Whoah! Yesterday’s awesome! I can still remember the feeling, seems like a midget went inside my chest and beating up my heart momentarily.
She took me home last night [since I don’t have a car, poor me].
Sadly, Mom didn’t able to see her…she’s sleeping, it was really late when we arrived though.
I’m in an awesome mood today, even if this will be my first day as a third year student.
The “duty” thing doesn’t bother me anymore.
I went down early to fix myself up and have breakfast with my Mom, I’m gonna tell her I did good yesterday.

“Mooooom!!!! GoooooddMorniinnggg!!!! Yaha!!!”. Was energized to the max.

“Oh! Amazing, you woke up early. Haha, good timing. Sit down and wait for our guest to finish our breakfast” seems like I’m not the only one with a good mood.

“Huh? Mom, your passing your work to someone?” [mom’s not like that, she always do her work no matter how hard it is. She’s not into asking for somebody’s help…]

“Well, she insist…”

“She?” the guess… I think who she was when I heard her voice…

“Ma? Do I have to add salt in it?”… geez, I’m sure now.

“Yup honey,the amount? It’s up to you. I’ll accept it no matter how it turns to be. Haha.”[whew… is this really my mom? She’s having a good time]

“Ok! Maa!! Haha.”.

“Eh?”. [since when did this two got close?]
Finally she finished cooking, she went to the table and I finally saw her face…

"Ahhh!!!...what a wonderful sight first thing in the morning. She’s beautiful even withouth her make up and stuffs.
My chest, it hurts. I have to make this midget stop what she’s doing with my heart.

“Damn midget…”

“Huh? who are you calling midget?, Tss… you’re still sleepy, don’t mistake me for a midget, I’m even taller than you tough guy.”…Geee… she’s so defensive.

“It’s not you, silly. How’d you get here so early?”

“Don’t even try to think of somebody other than me.
[ with a dragon’s look *effect stronger than mine ]
I can always do anything once I set my heart to it, even waking up at 3 in the morning and go to a stupid guy’s house, preparing a breakfast for him and gosh I’m mistaken for a midget!”

”H-hey! I said it’s not you.”

“Then who is it? You’re loving somebody other than me? Huh??!”

“The hell with that? of course not! I’m just describing how I feel, like… like… a midget went inside…no, no. a lumberjack went inside my chest and whacks my heart every time I see you. How about that? Curiousity satisfied?”

“Geez…you should just put it in a more simplier way. Like butterflies and stuffs. Or you could just blush so I can get it? Or just simply say “I love you”, bakero.”

[ is it an argument? Well, I don’t care if it is, I don’t feel like it. In fact, it feels good. That I can talk to her like this, and it seems like she’s all into me this time…*speaking of that, I’m liking it, when she gets jealous and defensive.]

“Ahaha. You sounded like a married couple just now. How sweet of you two. I think I’m gonna start thinking of what to suggest for my grandchild’s name”

“Mom!.” my eyes met Almira’s and she blushed big time.

“Haha. Well anyway, honey place that down and let’s eat.”

“O-Oh… yeah"
[placed the plate down]
tadaa! Everyone let’s eat.


She sat beside me, she’s still blushing.
She can’t hide that blushing face now, not without her make up.
I hold her hands and I simply said.
“Thank you…”, I tried to let go of her hands but she won’t let that happen.
I looked at her and I was like saying “How are we going to eat with this?”. She used her free hands to feed me. I know I looked like a sick person but it’s cool. My mom is simply laughing at us. She won’t say a word. And it’s really nice. We seemed to be one family now, eating breakfast together.

NOVEL: "Picture Perfect" Part 4 2/2

It’s 6am when the alarm did his job.

I was like undertaker with his usual sit up thing *only with a smile.

I went to the frig, and saw mom’s note in it.

“do your best son”. Was a heck of a breakfast! Mom’s trying to give her best to give me the energy and the mood I will need for today. I should give my best too.

I won’t let her down.

My bro gave me this instruction:

“Be late to her. – she’s a very special person, all her life she’s been treated as a star. That’s why…she expects you to wait for her. And once you’re late, she’ll gonna think there’s plenty of things in your mind other than her. She will be trying to get your attention from then on.”

Well said my brother. That I will do.

Hmm. I wonder if an hour of late will be enough?

That being said is what I did.

I’m 1 hr late from the set time when I arrived.

I saw no one there…I was like:

“Huh? where is she? Did she grew tired of waiting and decided to leave? The hell! I shouldn’t have listen to my stupid brother’s advice!”

I was like shouting there like “Shiiiiittt!!!” and stuffs until.

“I’m sorry I’m late, I admit it I’m an hour and a half late…have you gone mad waiting for me? *laughs soflty* cos seriously…you looked stupid shouting.”

My head, slowly turning from the direction of her voice. After seeing her a song played in my mind

i’ve been waiting for you~all my life for somebody who…makes me feel the way when I am around you.. blah blah blah.~~~

“boys next door…” I was a complete bastard too say the band who performed that song.

“huh?..have you been drinking? haha” darn .. I made her laugh again.

“g-g-gugh.” I have plenty to say but the words won’t come out straight.

“Just ask me to sit down. Tough guy.” She’s bullying me with her smile.

“o-ohh. Have a sit, my apologies.” [funny, I remembered I should be the one to make her wait.]

We’ve met privately. In one of her favorite Malls she said.

People we’re not allowed to interrupt us in anything so I think I can be worryless.

But those people’s eyes…staring at us were really bothering.

“so…now that you’ve met me, what will be the next thing for you?, I mean you’ve became famous, way better than I thought you will… anyways, you were great out there. It was crazy, seeing you’re band in the commercial. Very wacky…”call me.” Hahaha.”

“tss…of course the next thing I will do is to see you again…and see you again some more, so on. The band, it will stay. We’re like brothers, we understand each other’s feelings. They respect my goal. And that is to be with you…hard lady.” I’m so glad I can say things truthfully to her.

“you sure is a nice talker. Silly, you’re making my heart beat faster.”

“w-well, I’m not really good with speaking. It just so happens that this is the first time I got to talk to you heart to heart. I mean, you won’t ask for my help this time and you won’t run away like the last time we’ve met. So…I guess I just have to say to you things that comes out from my heart, even though how stupid it may turn out to be.”

[Damn straight, exactly how I feel.]

“are you nervous?.. you don’t have to be. Hmm, know what? Why don’t you just treat me as ordinary as I can be. Just imagine like….like…”I’m not special” if I really am…”

[it’s easy for you to say that, how the can I think of you as an ordinary person? I can’t see someone like you buying fish balls in the streets. If that’s what you’re saying, dammit.]

“that I can’t do.”

“give me one reason why you can’t?” she’s still with that smile. It was so bullying me.

I have to overcome that… have to say something awesome…

“coz you’re my next girlfriend, dammit.” Nailed it.

She stopped for a while, I thought she became angry. I was ready to apologize when I see that her face was…red…

“L-look what you’ve done. I’m so blushing right now. *sighs* I guess I couldn’t hide it anymore. Tss…My heart beat, it’s way to faster than it was before… I’m afraid I may not be able to catch it anymore”

“don’t be afraid…I’m a NURSE = )”. I hold her hands just like that. I was looking cool, but deep inside I was really nervous.

I’ve been great! Mom’s gonna be proud of me.

All my hard work has paid off. *teary eyes.

“h-hey are you crying?, thought you’re a tough guy. Haha..” so she recovered from blushing.

“I’m not crying! My eyes, they just can’t take what they’re seeing right now. They’re seeing such beauty that they’ve became confused if it’s real or not.. t-they just, sweat..”

Blah, didn’t I tell you my mind won’t work well in front of her.

“didn’t knew that eyes do sweat. I’m loving it, you’re spontaneous mindless speaking. Haha”. She always ends her statement with a laugh.

“tss. Stop bullying me with you’re smile. I’m collapsing dammit.”

“Hey, you said you’re a nurse! You might as well treat you’re self for good, silly. Haha”

[just like what I’ve said, she always end her statement with a laugh. Usually, girls laughs before saying anything so that they’re voice will be clear. But she, she tries to hold that laugh til she finish her statement. She doesn’t care what her voice will sound. Hmm, but she’s cuter that way. Dammit, why am I noticing such little things. I’m really fucked up in the head. *laughs]

“Not fair! Share your thoughts, your laughing on your own” *booing.

“haha. It’s nothing…I just found your more cuter in personal. You’re making me think I’m more older than you.” [she’s 2 years and 5 months older than me though]

“H-hey! Are you saying I don’t act like my age? Meanie, you just can’t stand my cuteness”.

“Haha.. maybe.” Well, what she said there was true.

“hmm. We should change spot I think.” Points her eyes on the crowd.

“yeah, I think so too.” People in the coffee shop are getting crowdy.

“Well then, let’s have some walk?” she stood and held my hands.

Walking with her feels like walking in heaven itself.

I can’t take my smile out of my face as I’m seeing the stare of those asshole fanatics who booed me before, they are sooo feeling jealous at my current position.

*haha. Beat this assholes

“Ever since we left the café your smile has changed. More like a devilish grin, stop bullying my fans, silly.” So she noticed huh? *haha.

“Sorry. I can’t help myself. Haha, I’m so loving the feeling with you.”

“What feeling?” she seemed to be curious with the way she looked at me.

“This cool feeling, whatever it is. Makes me want to be with your side always.”

“You’re in love with me?” she’s teasing

“haha. Who knows? It’s really different, the feeling is with you. Two years ago when we first met I’ve already felt it. That’s why I didn’t leave the stage without you, remember? [lifts her head up]. Well, I just have to hide and pretend I didn’t had that feeling that time because of my ex.”

“Oh…yeah. I remember your ex. Such a great voice she have. Where is she now?”

“She’s gone.”

“oh my gosh! She died?!”

“the hell? No, she’s just literally “gone” like one day when I woke up I can’t find her anymore. Even the band can’t find her.

“that’s weird. Have you searched for her?”

“Yup. It took me almost a year when I gave up.”

“D-don’t tell me, you’re a serial killer who kills your girlfriend without a trace? I-I’m scared…”. Covers her hands with her hands. And wiggled it.

“the hell with that conclusion? Stop seeing CIA series, you’re becoming suspicious.”

“ehe…just kidding. I just want to change topic.”

“Why? You’re being jealous with my ex?.. teehee.”

“N-no! I’m not…I…I just…hate her somehow.”

[well I was shocked when I heard that]

“if she didn’t disappeared and just broke up with you… you could’ve pursued me much earlier…years earlier…”

She’s right… the thought of “still having” a girlfriend thing stopped me from seeing things as they are. If my ex just settled things up and broke up with me, I could’ve searched for Almira earlier. For I know our first meeting is really “big time” for me. Although I kinda forgot about it somehow due to the time and brain damage.

“I-I shouldn’t have said that. she’s still you’re ex somehow. Sorry.”

“No. don’t be sorry. You could say “I hate her” as many times as you want. You can even rent a voodoo guy and cast a spell against her. What ever to express your hatred to her I just don’t care about it anymore.”

“silly. She’s your ex.”

“one hell of an ex though.”

“that makes me want not to be your ex tough guy.” *Smiling.

“Don’t worry, when you became my girlfriend I won’t break up with you. And I’ll see to it that you won’t break up me too. How about that? sounds cool?”

“that is…”if” I become your girlfriend”.

“sigh. That’s the thing… tss..”

“it’s really cool to see you look depress. Haha”. [rubbed my hair with her hands.]

“H-hey” [ she still won’t stop ]

“I’m missing this hair, it’s been long when I first saw you, I’m surprised when I saw you the last time, it’s shaved. Glad I can play with you hair now”.

“I-I’m not a floppy dog. Tss.. you’re really good at changing topic”

“what made you accept that you’re ex was gone?”

“huh? what’s it all of a sudden? Thought- oh… well. I just thought she set me free.i just thought she’s thinking it’s best for me. She always thought of what will be better for me. Even if she sacrifice for it sometimes. That’s the kind of girlfriend she was.”

“so…you sound totally different from what you’ve said before. Miyu, she’s kind wasn’t she?”

“yeah…she’s a good person… w-wait, how’d you know her name?”

“two years ago…we’ve talked”.

Huh? that’s right. I remembered she said they talked before.

“it was all about you. Our conversation was. Do you know what she said?”

“W-what is it?”

“I didn’t know she was your girlfriend so I told her I like you. She said though that she was your girlfriend so I apologized. But I’m surprised of what she said…

-can you wait for atleast two years? Two years will be enough, for me to forget, and for me him to recover. If you can wait til that time… she’s all yours then. *she’s smiling that time. The first smile that outshines mine, I felt like I’m not “Amira” that time…”

“so she really planned to leave me anyways…that’s weird.”

“yeah. I think so too. But whatever her reason is. I’m so respecting it”

“But I remember. When you interviewed Cara you said that my ex said something like leave us alone right? She’s the one your talking about right?”

“Yeah…well, I just said it that way because I didn’t like the fact that Miyu outshined me that time…sorry my bad.”

“silly. I never thought you’d do such things. Haha.”

“H-hey. I’ve done it bad. Why you’re still laughing?”

“you really do such crazy things too, good thing though. I’m afraid you will be mad if I accidentally do crazy things to in the future.”

“well, I won’t be mad. If it’s bearable though. I’m not that perfect, I sometimes do stupid things I’m not aware of.” [She grabbed my hair again. She’s so liking it dammit]

“hmm… I’ve already said how I feel the first time I met you two years ago. So how about you? You found me awesome?”

“you? Eew… hahaha.. kidding… well... seriously…”

“yeah? seriously?”

She sighed, and she was like smiling. So different from before, was one of her greatest smile.

“I loved you since the very first time I saw you two years ago. You stand on stage with your guitar and you’re like…like “pls look at me I’m awesome” attitude. It caught my attention very convincingly. And that I ask for your help? It’s just my way to be close to you.”

[ she stopped rubbing my hair and crossed her arms with mine… I remember we were like this before…. Back then, when we went down the stage together *it was a good feeling ]

NOVEL: "Picture Perfect" Part 4 1/2

We will be resting for two days. No jam, no performance.

A good time to rest my voice.

I watched the channel where I can see her during commercials.

Was a good channel though, I’ve watched all day long.

I laughed when I saw our music video.

“wow it’s even played here.” I feels so proud of myself. Even though I kinda looked dumb at the end of that vid, coz I was like with the hand sign saying “call me”.

Haha.. I laughed my ass out.

Not for long since the next show started.

The show we were yesterday, still I can’t stop laughing when I saw the host, as I remembered how speechless she became when I nailed the “meeting with Almira thing”.

But that laugh, that smile it was replaced by tension when she introduced her guess for today.

It was the channel’s ambassadress, damn right, she’s Almira.

I’ve sweated for almost every minute on her interview.

“Yesterday, the world has been shocked by Paradox’s vocalist Yano Stifler’s statement about his demand to meet you. Tell about your thoughts about this. Were you surprised? Do you know him personally?, or was like the two of you met before?”

*this host, she always ask such obvious questions, of course she knows me. She’s slow, dammit.

“Well, first of all I do know him. But no I wasn’t surprised, I’ve been waiting for him to do something like this for the past weeks. I know his gutsy, and it’s funny how he deal with what I’ve said to him about our deal. Well, *coughs I met him two years ago and since then I became a fan of his guitar play.”

[haha, yeah right. Well said, you’ve won my world with that.]

“I see, so what does he mean when he said “meet me when you’re ready” is this have something to do with your “deal” whatever it is?.”

*I think she’s so slow… sigh. I’m feeling hopeless for this host.

Almira paused for a while and replied afterwards.

“I was crazy making him wait for so long since I personally wants to meet him up for so long too. It’s now my turn to make a statement.”

She sighed. I’m catching my breath. She smiled. I paniced!, then she said:

“Yano… I’m ready. Meet up with me.”

*woah…the butterflies, they’re in my stomach.

The host again was left speechless.

*I personally think the channel should replace her.

Darn my smile, I can’t stop it from reaching my ears.

Finally, the day came. All my hard work has paid off.

Maykel called me and congratulate me, same did my other bandmates.

My facebook acct was full of notifications again.

And that night, Almira sets up the date and as to where we will meet.

She send me the info as she finally accepted my friend request.

Woohoo! I’m laughing my ass hard… still can’t believe it…finally a chance.

A day after I saw a copy of a banner form her fan.

-Almira meets Yano-

Cosplay Queen meets Phillippine’s Stifler. What will happen next?

“whoah, I kinda look handsome in this”

It’s really been fun time. Everyone wishes me luck.

When I walk outside people were like:

“You can do it!”

I’m so glad everyone is with me in this fight.

We even had a drink, the band and I.

They’re giving me their speculations, was a heck of a laugh trip.

Funny, even the news in local channels announced our meeting.

Even in yahoo! In youtube, fan’s reactions and speculations were like boomers.

I guess I had to be prepared.

Everyone counts on me…even my mother, for her future grand daughters.

“mom, this I promise you…someday Almira’s gonna be using our surname”.

After that I didn’t have much sleep.

For it’s finally the day. This is it!

The day I’ve been waiting for her has come!

NOVEL: "Picture Perfect" Part 3 3/3

I did my best to contact my ex bandmates.

Our drummer and lead guitarist have some sort of discomfort with each other due to some of their misunderstandings. So I guess I should start by getting our basist first.

He works at 7/11 as a cashier. [a part time job]

“do you accept check?”. I slammed my empty wallet on the counter.

“check my ass! Hahaha. What do you want?”. He’s still a laughing person.

“I’ll be needing your help.” Seriously stared at him, was a stare of a dragon.

“for what?”.

“to win a girl’s heart.”. The handshake we had, I’m sure he was like. “count me in”.

Maykel was the first member I recruited back then, when my ex and I decided to form a band. Funny, he’s still the first I got back.

“so, Miyu… does she knows about this? Will she join us too?”

“The hell with that… as if she’s somewhere to be found…”

“so… she’s still missing huh? who’ll be our vocalist then?..”

“Me.”

My voice is good so stop wondering.

It’s just that Miyu has this perfect vocalist figure, that’s why she’s the vocalist of the band back then. Well, I’m not planning to waste years of my life trying to find her. Since I’ve already looked for her a couple of years ago when she disappeared (literally).

I just don’t care about her anymore.

Maykel sure was handy in the band. Not because he’s the oldest, but. He has the most convincing powers.

In just a matter of talk, he made Clark[lead guitarist] and Lloyd[drummer] to join the band again.

Before the fun begins, we had a meeting and I shared my plans to them.

“so guys, now that were back together expect things to have a bit of a change. Since Miyu will not be able to do the vocs, I will replace her.”.

“but are you sure we will be fine without her?

Clark asked, he trusts Miyu’s capability as a vocalist way better than we are.

“it’ll be okay dude, in fact it’ll be bigger for us this time”. I’ve answered excitedly.

“but how is that possible? We don’t even have a manager?”. Says Lloyd and her usual curiosity.

“Don’t worry guys. I have everything planned.”

My plan wasn’t bad after all.

The first week we jammed and jammed and shoot some videos.

I uploaded it in youtube. And hell what? There’s already been thousands of views in just a matter of days. Our stupid costume did the job. Smart me. I made my bandmates wear a ripper’s suit. It’s hot but its eye catching. Used all of my savings though, but it’s worth it, because since then we had so many invitations, wanting us to be guess performers for some band competition, we performed in bars, and we even got invited to perform in some cosplays.[as ive planned] we even had commercial! And recordings!

It was successful.

The sercret is, everytime I got home from performing. I’m visiting her site to get some inspiration. I’m just waiting her to hear the news about me. I’m really working hard.

This day we had a big stage.

We performed at Asia’s best anime channel. After the performance, I got interviewed by the host.

“So. Yano Stifler, in just a matter of weeks your band has been really popular. It started at youtube, you’re songs have reached the top in some radio stations. Your band even had a commercial. Wow… so tell me, what are you planning to do next?”.

Live interviews, it makes me sick. I think I’m gonna slip my tounge and say somwthing stupid.

My bandmates were all smiling as they looked at me, I got what they’re trying to say as they point on the picture of the channel’s ambassadress.

I smiled and replied.

“I’m planning to meet someone”..

my bandmates were

“ooh!!! Finaly!”. Laughing

“m-meet someone? Who may that person be? A girlf—“

“Almira… meet up with me when you’re ready.” I left the host speechless..

NOVEL: "Picture Perfect" Part 3 2/3

I woke up late, it was like 12 in the afternoon. It took me til almost 4 am to sleep with my head preoccupied . I sat and stopped for a while. I don’t want to think of anything.

I’ve concentrated my mind to just do the conscious breathing exercise.

I was like…

“breaaatheee innnn…. Breatthheeee outttt…..

Breattheee inn…. Brrr—

- stupid. You’re so stupid!!! I’m sure it was you dumbass!!!”.

*bwahhkk..

Coughed my lungs out.

“tss… that was never worth remembering. I’m sure Cara’s just stupid to agree with my stupidness. That I’m the one Almira’s talking about? My mind must’ve been fucked up.

*sighs… I guess we’re both stupid”.

I realized I’m at the window with that monologue. My neighbor kinda looked at me weird. Seems like she’s been hearing my shits.

“yeah!!! Oh great! I’m talking to myself! Have a nice day!”

Shut the curtains closed.

Hmmm… I don’t plan to leave the house today. It feels like my world’s only gonna be much more complicated that I can’t put things as it was before… if I leave that is.

So… uhmmm… lezee, what will be my lunch for today.

Tss…

1:30 pm… still nothing’s cool with my day.

I’ll open my desktop and let my Little Warrior fight her ass off.

Or maybe , ill feel better if I play poker?

Or beat my enemy's ass in GG!

Whatever will it be! I have so much choice to enjoy! Mwahahaha

*laughed like a bastard.

When I logged my facebook acct and clicked on my Little Warrior I only got disappointed.

“ why did I named my Little Warrior like this?”

-xxXAlmiraXxx

“Gugh! That’s it! I’m gonna view her dammit!”

I viewed her like I usually does, saw something in her wall. I felt my heart broken when I read her wall status.

“sorry for what happened yesterday. I’ve realized I need to act more mature. I shouldn’t acted like that. It was funny though. I’ve found myself in the same situation as before.

He’s still with someone else”.

Blah: that guys must’ve been out of his mind!

Blah2: yeah who ever that Yano Stifler guy is. I’m sure he eats shit

Blah: yeah, I heard it too, I was there. She left when she said that name.

So it was really me!

I don’t care bout how people talks shits about me anymore.

I’ll go and meet her.

So after that day I went to a “channel station” that she’s about to be guesting.

Tss. I know it may sound like already stalking but it must be done.

I need to apologize to her.

She did came. Darn her presence is so heavy. I feel my jaw shaking.

I was like slapping my jaw, then tried to look tough.

Her sister tried to block her site for her not to see me.

Gosh…how did her sister even recognize me?...

She was staring me as is she were saying:

“what are you doing here?!” but that time I was decided.

I’m gonna talk to her.

“Almira…” I said with the finest voice I could give.

She did looked, surprised.

“y-Yano?”.. with the softest of voice. It struck my heart. I was like shaking stupidly. Oh darn, I’ve realized I need to overwhelm this feeling. As the cameras pointing at her all turned to me.

“I-I’m sorry”. Silence has filled the scene. Except for the shutters of the cameras I knew was all for me. As I bowed my head trying to hide my blushing face. People were like

“is he the one?, is he the one?” repeating over and over again. I can even hear some laughing.

“you… don’t tell me you go all the way here just to say that?”. her tone, way to different than before… she was serious.

“crazy isn’t it? I’ve realized I must say it to you personally or else I will not be able to have any peaceful sleep for a long time.” – I’ve overwhelmed it.

“A-are you having guilt?..” she said those lines I got really confused.

“for what?.. I dunno what I've done wrong or anything. I just felt I must apologize. I-I’m sorry…” I just said things without thinking again. *sigh

“then… you shouldn’t be… I’ll be going.”

She left the scene. I was again left out cold.

Her sister approached me and said,

“you shouldn’t have made this scene. You ruined her mood…”

I thought if I come here I would find the answers that may mind and my heart eagerly wants to know. But now, I was left with another “confusing stuff” as to what I should be guilty for? The heck…

I went home upset. I had a long ride.

I was really down and tired. I ate and logged my facebook acct before bed.

I’m surprised bout how many friend requests and notifications I have.

I traced the root of those notifications, it’s from a newly tagged picture.

I clicked it and guess what? It’s from a photographer earlier.

The picture had Almira and me faced. The title of the pic?

“Almira’s lover sucks”.

And her funs were all booing me like hell.

I guess I won’t accept all those 139 friend request or else I might get trashtalked.

A moment later. A new notification pops up.

I’m hesitating but I did clicked it.

“Almira commented on a photo of you.”

I suddenly became interested and hurriedly viewed it.

Here’s what she said.

“guys thanks for worrying but you shouldn’t have talk bad about him. We just had some misunderstandings but, he’s a good guy. He took his effort talking to me in public and I must say I admire him for that for not all will have the guts to do that.”

I was smiling my lips hard. She’s depending me! Beat that assholes.

And not for long, my notifications increased, and her fans? Were already apologizing.

I decided to comment on that pic coz I know no one can harm me now.

“you always gives the credits to me. Whatever misunderstandings we had, I wish it all to be cleared someday. And if I really did some mistakes, I will accept all those blames on me. I may be stupid coz there’s so many thing I don’t know about. But there’s one thing I knew I was sure… and that is to talk to you like the way we talked the first time we met.”. Damnstraight…. Beat that.

My tiredness level went down, as I’m patiently waiting for her reply.

I looked every new notification as if it’s the one I’m waiting for… then finally.

I got her reply.

“I’m sure we can get through this. And I’m also looking forward for our next meeting. But for now I must say this, if you want to meet up with me again. You must do something to win my attention more convincingly. =)”

I smiled and replied.

“well then, everybody can mark my word. I will your attention convincingly, and I will win you convincingly my own way.”

After that day my life became too colorful. I finally got something to work for. I’ve decided, for me to win her attention I should be famous too. And the easiest way to do it?

“I’ll bring my old band back to life.”
