CHAPTER 2

..."Liza Marie Almante POV"...

"WELCOME TO THE PHILIPPINES!"

Wow people here seems cheerful.

I have arrived in the Philippines and yes I did some research about this place so I guess that's it.

Walking out of the airport, I gotta find a taxi to take me to Hana's house.

Well it's not that hard to find one since they're already Infront of the place so I just had to give the address.

I opened a door and told the taxi driver where I'm going and he nodded.

Well it's been a long day, so I gotta take a nap for a while.

........

Hana's place isn't so bad just enough for me to live.

It's not that small but also not too big.

Just enough it's like normal apartment.

I entered and started unpacking.

Hana's probably hasn't been in her house for a while since there are so many dust guess I need to clean.

But I'm still tired from the trip urghhh this is annoying.

Fine I'm gonna clean.

I need to buy some cleaning supplies and also personal hygiene products as well.

Anyway good thing I exchange my money to Philippines money and took the time to search how currency's work here.

I heard there's a lot of convenient store here somewhere.

So I go out to find one.

This place isn't so bad. There are kids playing around while thier mom's just chatting around and looking after thier kid's.

I just looked at them, huh kids life is so easy, I wonder if that would've been my childhood if I weren't abducted.

Well its a decade too late to regret now, it's not like it's my fault that I was kidnapped I'm still just a child that time so yeah.

Well gotta find a convenient store.

"Ohh hello po" a kid approached me.

I looked at her wondering what does she want?.

" Ang ganda niyo po" she said.

What? What did she say?, It must be tagalog arghh it's not easy to learn tagalog online okay, so even if I searched it it's still hard! Damn it.

I just stand there still wondering what she says.

" Ayyy amiricana ata"

"Oo nga mukang amiricana"

A lot of whisper from parents to kids started.

What the heck is going on?! Are they talking shit about me?

"Hi, can you understand tagalog" a mother approached me and smiled genuinely.

Ohh thank goodness, they really do speak English, although not fluently but you can still clearly understand it.

"Ahh no I can't, I just moved in" i said.

She just smiled and nodded.

Other mother's started to approach us too.

Ohhh no what's going on?.

" Ohhh really, what's your name?" they asked.

"Uhmm liza ma'am" I said politely.

Ohhh heard that you should be polite to people older than you here in the Philippines.

They smiled and introduce themselves and so as their kids.

Alright I need to asked them about the convenience store.

"Uhmm may I ask? Is there a convenience store nearby?" I ask them and they responded.

They told me where it is but before that.

We chatted for a long time, they asked a lot of questions about how old I am, about my parents.

They also gave me tips on how to live here, what I should do and everything, I learned a lot about this place just by chatting to a couple of mother's.

Wow this place is like a complete different dimensions.

People in my state are so sophisticated and and very private.

While this place are so easy going and down to earth, they even help a complete stranger and a foreigner at most.

No wonder Hana liked this place, its easy to adjust here knowing that people here are so kind, no too kind infact it's scary you can just manipulate thier kindness.

But I guess manipulation isn't a problem here since thier kindness were all mutual.

Damn!, it took a while a before I reached the store.

A bought the things I need and like the mother's I just stumble earlier, the cashier also chatted with me for a while asking questions and giving tips about buying things and so on and so forth.

Wow I learned a lot of information yet again from a cashier hahaha not only that she also warned me about scammer and how to buy thing without getting ripped off.

I soon as we finished talking I hurriedly walked home since I still gotta clean.

I looked at the time to count how much time I would be spending to clean and arrange my things but.

Holy fuck it took me three hours! to buy just the cleaning supplies what the heck!

I didn't even realize the time I spent chatting with them seriously!.

I just closed my eyes tightly its 12 o'clock in the afternoon.

I gotta eat lunch my goodness another crisis where am I supposed to buy food!.

Ohhh wait I'll just order online, I'm so dumb.

Well gotta order some food and while we wait we have to clean.

And I also need to find a job, aghhhh living alone is tiring.

Just thinking about what am I supposed to do next is already exhausting.

But I got no choice, I'm just gonna look for a job tomorrow.

I'm gonna clean and rest for today.

.......

Damn it!

I'm so tired and hungry,

I'm currently cleaning the bathroom by the way.

How long is my food gonna arrived jeezzz.

"'knock knock" - " food delivery po ma'am"

Ohhh myy ghaddd thank goodness,.

I hurriedly washed my hands and go to the door.

Took my wallet and open the door.

" How much?" I saw how shocked the delivery boy yet he's smiling?.

" Hungry hahaha" he said, wow his English is very good, he probably realize I'm a foreigner.

"Yeah now tell me how much"

He gave me the food and told me the price.

I payed instantly and told him to keep the change since its only 50 doll- ohh I mean pesos.

50 pesos is only one dollar by the way.

Prices here are pretty cheap so I have enough money to survive in a month or so.

But I still need to look for a job, I wonder what kind of job.

I finished my food and rest for a bit then continue the cleaning it took a while but exactly 4 in the afternoon I finished cleaning and unpacking my things.

And since its dinner time already I ordered some food. again.
