Luke Andrei's POV

After a month long hectic work load, our company gave us a well deserved break from all the busy computer workloads, we are now here at the Famous Santa Monica Beach Pier, well di naman ito kalayuan sa tinutuluyan kong apartment at Company kaya okay lang ang haba ng biyahe sulit..

"Mr. Baldomero, is this your first time here in Santa Monica since you move here in L.A.?" nagulat ako ng lapitan ako ng team leader namin kano

"Yes sir, since I move here in L.A., I have no time to take break this far since after I move here, I already start working for my future, thats all the matters for me right now, thank you sir for giving us this well deserved break.." unti unti na akong natututo magsalita English ng straight

"Well, thanks to your undeniable working ideas on our project thats why our owner gave this well deserved break for our team, great job Mr. Baldomero!" our team leader said and pat my shoulder to congratulate me

"Thanks sir! I'll continue to work hard for our future projects.." I re-assured our team leader

"I counting on it! Well, since your only 26 years old, would you mind tell me, if you have a girlfriend? Looking at you, its very unusual for your age having no girlfriend, if you mind telling beside we've been working for months now.." nabigla ako sa tanong ng team leader namin to, di ko alam kung chismoso to o sadyang curious lang sa buhay ko..

"Well sir, I used to have a girlfriend when I'm in high school but after we graduated, its all gone, we been a couple for 3 years, she become my girlfriend when I was in my first year in high school but unfortunately it didn't last because we have to go on our seperate way because of something, I can't tell that it full details, but as of now I'm single, more focus on my Career and future for now!" I tell my team leader

"Having a high school love story, is the most unforgettable experience you will cherish despite it didnt end as you wish it would, but you have a lot of time finding someone that is the one for you okay?" he said to me

"As of now sir, its not my priority now.." I simply said

"You'll never know Mr. Baldomero, if destiny reacts, a beautiful lady will come in your life once again!" my team leader gave me a word of wisdom

"I'll keep that in mind!" I only said

"Hey L.A., Mr. Brown, lets go! Lets have fun!!" my co-worker shout at us to join them

"Lets go sir! Lets enjoy this break!!" I said and I run to my other co-workers to enjoy the scenery of Santa Monica..

Meanwhile....

"Ganda rin pala ng outfit mo best, siguradong hataw na naman ang likes mo sa vlog mong to na gagawin natin syempre kasama na ako don no?" si Sab na excited pa sa bata para mag vlog

After an hour sitting on the car finally..

"Ganda dito best noh? Sabi ko sayo eh, this is the way to start your life here in L.A." say ni Sab and I nod in agreement

"Ganda talaga dito best! At ang dami pang tao, ganto ba talaga dito pag weekend?" tanong ko kay Sab

"As you look guys, wala ako ngayon sa Pinas, alam nyo na to have a new chapter in life, okay!! I'm here with my bestfriend at.." pa paused ko say and

"Santa Monica Beach in Los Angeles California USA!!!"

We continued vlogging around Santa Monica, pinakita namin ang sobrang daming taong nag eenjoy sa beautiful scenery at beach ng Santa Monica, ipinakita rin namin mga favorite spots doon at mga pagkain, syempre tinikman namin lahat ng pwede namin matikman sa Santa Monica..

After namin mag film ng vlog namin ni Sab, ayun inenjoy na namin ang Santa Monica syempre naligo na rin at sumakay sa mga rides don, habang nakasakay kami sa isang rides doon, palinga linga si Sab..

"Best, ano bang nililinga linga mo dyan?" tanong ko sa kanya

"Parang may nakita kasi akong pamilyar na mukha eh, parang si L.A. yung nakita ko" sambit nya, hah? L.A. as in Luke Andrei

"Hah?? L.A. as in Luke Andrei?" say ko

"Pamilyar kasi yung mukha eh ayun sya oh.." sabay turo ni Sab sa taong nililinga linga nya

"Saan? Wala naman ah?" pagtingin ko kasi wala na bigla

"Hah? paano nawala kanina lang sya nandoon eh.." kamot ulo si Sab

"Alam mo Best, nagmamalikmata ka lang, tsaka paano naman pupunta yun dito noh!?" say ko kay Sab

"Hay best!! Kamukha nya nga si Andrei ano ba?" say ni Sab, hay!!

"Mabuti ba best, kalimutan mo na yung nakita mo, kaya nga ako nandito para makapagsimula uli eh, tsaka imposible ng bumalik ang past, past is past and never been back no, nakalipas na so kailangan ng mag move forward!" defensive ko sagot

"Best ang defensive mo naman, para may nakita lang akong kamukha ni Andrei, reaction paper ka agad, okay chill! nandito tayo to start a new beginning for you so chill ka lang girl!!" mukha ba akong defensive and sinasabi ko lang ang totoo di ba?

"Hay basta, tara na i enjoy na natin to!!" yan lang ang sambit ko and i enjoy na nga lang namin ang lahat before I start my new and first ever real job here in L.A.
