I lost a client today…but honestly, I lost so much more than a client 🥺💔 This was me after finishing 4 clients today. The moment my last client walked out, I just completely broke down. Hagulgol malala. I received the news in the middle of a nail session, and I was literally shaking. I was struggling so much to finish the set while trying to follow the inspo, tapos may french tip pa. I tried so hard to hold myself together the whole day, but the moment I was finally alone, everything just came crashing down 😭 “She’s just a client.” No. She wasn’t. She became one of my closest friends. She was one of the very few people I invited to my 29th birthday, where less than 20 people were invited. Yun lang? No. I was one of the first people she told when she got pregnant, and just last month, I became ninang to her baby. Next year, wedding pa sana. We had so many more plans, chikas, and memories to make. I never thought they would suddenly end like this. Every nail session became therapy for both of us. We ranted, exchanged advice, laughed, and helped each other through life. She was one of the people I accidentally let past my “maldita” walls. Somehow, she found my soft spot, and before we knew it, what started as a simple nail tech-client relationship became a genuine friendship, one that I truly cherished. And now, there will be no more nail sessions, libak, rants, random chats, invitations, favors, help with paperwork, and all the little things in between. Farewell, my binignittt 😭 I’m going to miss you jud. Sobra sobraaa! Huot kaayo sa dughan as in superrrrr. Thank you binidorsxz for trusting me, for being my friend, and for letting me be part of your life and baby Eli’s life. Dili gyud tika malimtan. You will forever have a place in my heart. Rest easy, @Dorina Ompoy Fukunaga 🕊️🤍
