THE SEARCH IS OVER ?

Eastwood Libis, one of the industrialized  place  in the Philippines. Since we are not familiar with the place we just ask from here and there. " Bossing san po 'yong Galerie Stephanie ? " Um di ko alam eh " answer the guard. Next station. "Bossing san po 'yon PARC Bldg. ?" "Ah Parkview  pasok kayo sa mall at labas kayo." instruct the guard. Since we are a good follower we just follow where it leads. The sun set already but still we didn't find what we are looking for. All of us feel lost in the middle of the City. Next station "Bossing saan po 'yon 183 E. Rodriguez ?" "Saan 'yon ?" reply the guard.  Rephrase the question. " E.Rod na po ito ? " Oo "reply the guard on duty " So ano na pong number dito ? "  "Di ko alam eh". Still wrong answer, or wrong question?. But as it says, "ask and it will be given to you, find and you'll find what you are looking for. " Since Anthony is giving up of feeling Lost. He told  "let us look for the police  station we are lost! " Feeling hopeless and tired, makes one to give up ? Never! Laugh with the challenge, it is a maze waiting to unfold. Fortunately as we're looking for the Police Station, yes its the answer because in- front of it is the place we're looking for. Yes the search is over but the joy of founding it just started. Playing "patentero" on the street with the buzzing vehicle make our serious life turn to be a child  that moment. Finally we enter the gallery look for the exhibit, it's amazing if you know that work of beautiful art is an acquaintance and friend of mine. Since Reybert is busy doing the interview we just welcome ourselves. But since Apol and Anthony feel tired ? They didn't want to take the refreshment on the table. Red wine, ice tea, water ? I offer "No I have water with me " taray! May baon ka nga. So what's next. Just drink 2 shot of red wine, a glass of water, and an ice tea + bread and macaroni. After this want to know if we have mutual acquaintance,  as a sales person I need to initiate to make stranger an acquaintance. Get my calling card and exchange it to somebody next to me. Need to do some, sort of activity. But before we go we need to say hi and goodbye to the host of this exhibit. Little bit awkward but we need to interrupt just a bit, to honor him. Short but captivating. At the end of the day life is what we make it. Mistake deleted to have another chance for tomorrow.
