Hello, My Name is Adrian
It's easy to earn money here, but it's also equally easy to spend it. I think I have saved up enough to hopefully buy a digital camera soon. Otherwise, I'm trying to spend as little and save enough so I can go back home. Everyone calls me Adrian here. Not AD. Because AD is not here. AD was left behind in Kalayaan.
Mom confided to me that she left home many years ago because she was tired of Dad's cheating on her, to the point that my dad's mistresses openly call us at home and tease and taunt her. I was able to confirm that we have a half-sister named "Arianne". Maybe, if I turned out a girl, I would have been named Arianne.
But I'm Adrian. And back at home, everyone is moving on with their lives, while I am stuck here. I live a shadow life here. I even have just mere shadows of relationships, strangers I met on the internet, who promises that he loves me and misses me. A call center agent from Ortigas. Will I ever meet him?
Will I ever meet AD again?
