From Althea's diary...

Italy has been one of my favorite places to travel, and to have an opportunity to study abroad for a whole year made my dream become a reality.  It's my sophomore year of college, and I want to have an adventurous school year by doing things out of my comfort zone.  Travelling outside of the country solo is definitely one of them.  

During my time here, I have fallen in love with the culture, the food, the architecture.  There's nothing to hate about this beautiful country.   I am currently residing in Milan, the second largest city in Italy but it's the regional capital of Lombardy.  My Italian speaking skills are at par, but I am slowly learning as time goes by.  

I do communicate with my mom and my little sister Mayumi, or May-may, through video chat.  The good wonders of technology.  However, due to the current situation back home, I have to find work in order to make sure that my mom and Maymay are financially stable while I'm away.  

Fortunately, I applied for a job that was just posted on the cafe's board one day, and I managed to get an interview, but it took place at this grand mansion some people called Palazzo de Luca.  The person who interviewed me just so happens to be the boss man himself, and he was quite handsome and attractive;  however, he had this stern look as if he's not impressed with me.  But despite this tense energy I've been getting, I end up getting the job.  As a maid.

I do like an adventure, but I wonder where this one leads me to...

A/N:  Hey everyone, please don't judge about how short it is.  Also it's been a long time since I've written a story like this, well it was during my 1d fan days.  Please show some love because I'm trying my best to create something spectacular <3

Also I use Google Translate for non-English conversations in this story (ie:  there will be conversations in Tagalog/Filipino, Italian, etc.), so don't come at me if I say them incorrectly.  Especially when this author here isn't up to par with her Filipino speaking skills
