Scenario with Dialogue


                             Sourire
            She shut the door closed, leaning back on the cubicle’s door. She looks into her shaking hands, only to find out her palms covered with sweat, which matches her uneasy heart. “How unladylike for you Kira! You didn’t have to go through this date if you aren’t going to speak!” she hissed and went out of the cubicle to see herself in front of the comfort room’s mirror. She searched through her Chanel Diamond Forever bag which has the touch of dirty white. This all matchers her silky white off shoulder dress together with her white high pump heels. It took a few minutes before she could see her comb, she brushed her bleached wavy hair and retouch her face with her compact powder.

          Meanwhile, Jiro was alone at the dinner table, patiently waiting for their dinner to come, he lifted his arms showing his nervousness with his crying armpits. “What a nerve to ask her out without speaking!” he said as he searched all over his pocket to bring out his Clive Christian 1872 Perfume spray. He then sprayed it all over his broad shoulders.

          “I am the man, and I must entertain her!” he said with determination. He stood up with pose to go over to a waiter. “I have a request to ask” He stated. The waiter happily replied with a smile, “And that is?”

          She went back at their dinner table freshly and smiled widely that made the young man’s heart melt. She was amazed by the aroma of various foods on their table, she sat down maintaining her composure to avoid her nervousness to over take her.

          “Care for a slice?” Jiro asked showing a knife on his left hand, and a fork on his right. Kira smiled, and nudged her plate towards him. She still can’t manage her nervousness, especially in front of this handsome young man. She waited, until a waiter came by her side, “Especially made for you Madam”

          The waiter placed the chocolate lava cake in front of Kira. “You ordered this?” she asked Jiro. Jiro shrugged and smirked as an answer. Out of curiosity, Kira sliced through the cake, which to her surprise, has a ring inside of it. “I’m sorry if I couldn’t start our date right, but I hope with that ring, we can start off well” Jiro stated and handed off the bite size pieces of steak.

          With that said, the date started to flow smoothly, they were laughing their hearts out. It was as if they forgot how awkward they were at first. But it was all worth the clumsiness, with the love blooming right over that dinner table.

Scenario

Sourire
She shut the door closed, leaning back on the cubicle’s door. She looks into her shaking hands, only to find out her palms covered with sweat, which matches her uneasy heart. She couldn’t find the strength to speak, as if she was dehydrated, when in fact, she is just going to have dinner at a fancy restaurant with him. Meanwhile, with him alone at the dinner table, patiently waiting for their dinner to come, he lifted his arms showing his nervousness with his crying armpits. He shrugged in disbelief when he realized how unmanly it was for him. After a while, he suddenly stood up with composure and pose, he searched hysterically all over his pocket to spray himself with expensive perfume. He is now ready to face her like a real man.
She went back at their dinner table freshly and smiled widely that made the young man’s heart melt.

He greeted him with a smile showing his knife and fork to slice through the young maiden’s steak, which she cheerfully answered by nudging the plate towards him.
It was already going smoothly among the two, they were laughing their hearts out. It was as if they forgot how awkward they were at first. But it was all worth the clumsiness, with the love blooming right over that dinner table.

Autobiography

Nothing

I am a teen who seems to have mature early to handle such hurdles in life. I have been keeping a secret from my mother ever since I was in Grade 4 just to keep on to the delusion of having a complete and happy family. I have been concealing my own feelings in front of my friends just to remain my own personality which was being a jolly and happy-go-lucky person.

Each year was a test of my patience and my emotional strength, until I reached the 9th grade, My jolly and happy going personality began to lose at grade 9. I would go berserk at my own parents and would be easily irritated with simple things, such as asking me to repeat what I have said, or running through an errand. I was threatened with harsh words and madness just for having meltdowns or not understanding what was expected of me, and eventually becoming angry and depressed enough to lash out. These all changed when I met one of my classmates, the only person who unintentionally stopped my suicidal thoughts.


It was way back June 16, 2017, I was busy talking with my best friend, Nicole, and we were having the usual chit chats during our Recess time when I noticed the jammed armchair of mine. I was so frustrated at how my chair broke, first day at our classroom yet this happened! I didn’t want to spend 3 days at the science laboratory just to have this!

We were struggling big time, not until someone fixed my books that were scattered on the floor, and helped me fix my chair. He was someone who I just met; he wears the usual poker face, as if nothing is going in his mind as he was helping me. He didn’t even utter a single word. But the silence is a contradictory of how that started a friendship that made my whole world turn upside down. As days passed, we became closer to each other up to the point that my day wouldn’t be complete without talking to him.

 There were memories that I just want to remember forever like how we were just started talking then we did not notice that it was already near dawn, so we decided to sleep after 11:11 where we wished everything we wanted. I laughed at how we didn’t notice the time, I mean, we literally talked the whole day, and it was really a lightweight inside my heart how we think similarly. He replied with, “I agree, it’s like I saw my long-lost sister.” That started EVERYTHING. But sometimes I do get scared

that one day, our closeness will just fade. Especially that I would be leaving soon. He would say, “Trust me kambal, don’t be scared. Whatever happens there is no ending to our kambalship”

I was definitely leaving too soon, I suppose. June 26, I was supposed to end my one and only life. I was sobbing in secret at my room, holding on to a blade with no one to talk to. As I was about to slice through my flesh, my messenger beeped to report that I have a message from someone. That halted my action and to my surprise, it was from him. He didn’t know what I was about to do. He just knew that I have been going through a problem and he must comfort me, to which he did. I guess Faith was telling me that I am already with someone that would be with me through every hurdle I would be encountering. Faith was telling that there were a lot of chances that we could get to know each other earlier but we didn’t grab into it, so why waste it today.

On October 03, 2017, we had a chat about trust issues. We talked about what if we would treat each other as strangers and never talk like we used to do? It was a serious conversation that I cried just thinking about it. But what he said really motivated me to do everything I can to maintain our friendship for a lifetime. Maybe it wasn’t only this year where I got to meet him, I never thought I could be attached to the point that it would be so hard to let go. But I can never, ever change my past, it already happened anyway. All I can do is make the best out of today, let go, and keep moving on.



One of the memorable days of my life would probably be his day, October 15, 2017, it was intramurals, we usually don’t spend the day in school together but since it was already an opportunity given to us and it was his day, we spent the most out of it.  We went to Fawaz and of course, we spent our day laughing, eating, doing stupid things like putting every single ingredient in one small cup. After that we took a photo together and promised that in every occasion, we should take a photo and each would have its own.  I’m not the type of person who would easily be attached to someone especially now we are here in Saudi Arabia then soon leaving to continue our life in the Philippines.

Sometimes at my worst, he often says "Don't let anyone say to you that you are nothing because I know that you are someone in this world and you are important to me" and keeps me motivated throughout my day and my life no matter what happens. At my best he says, "There you go, let your smile out and flaunt it to the world and say that I’m okay." No matter how happy or how sad life gets, he makes me think that there is no problem in my life and he is the reason why I am still here in this world. Thanks to his supportive and motivating words I get to share this to you and to everyone that I am proud that I am still here standing and facing my problems in life, better than before.

Having the thought of meeting someone too late, and leaving too soon is probably the biggest regret in my life. But I believe in the quote, “It is never too late or too soon. It is when it is supposed to be.” I never said that we would part ways, because whatever happens we would be still what we are today. Grasp on the opportunity given to you because you’ll never know what would happen in the near future.  Besides, a story wouldn’t be finished unless you choose to close the book. Life goes on, make the most out of it.

Today, I am living the best version of myself. I have turned my weaknesses to strengths, and for the very first time, I have decided to grasp to every opportunity that I could get. I have achieved a high honors award for the very first time during the second quarter. I am currently in a writing contest, and I have decided to join the Communication Leadership Training program, and actually excited for everything. The joy that I am feeling today is what defines me as of this moment. The depressed, problematic me is no longer there, nothing can stop me now. Nothing.
