BY KATH C. EUSTAQUIO-DERLA
STORY DESCRIPTION
In order to forget 7 straight hours of pure bliss, one tita vowed to take the high road instead of punching a fuckboy in the face. Catalina Carreon, Tali for short, promised to date 7 men in 7 consecutive Fridays in 7 bars in Poblacion, Makati so she can muffle the “what ifs” and “could have beens” in her head.
If God can create the entire world in 7 days, surely, she can forget the fuckboy whatshisface after 7 dates. With her spandex, harlan+holden tops, and comfy Fitflop sandals, she went on her dating pub crawl: drinking at 7:00 PM and eating comfort food at 11:00 PM before her 12:00 AM tita bedtime.
Will the 7 new men help her forgive and forget? Will she fall 7 times and rise 8? More importantly, will she find love in the heart of Makati’s laidback watering hole?

CHAPTER 1: TALI, THE POBLACION TITA
Our main tita Catalina Carreon attends a meeting wearing the most office tita outfit of all time. And guess who's presenting? Her ex of 7 straight hours, James Flores, aka the office fuckboy of all time. Of course, she didn't know that 4 months ago.
CHAPTER 2: ESCOLTA MAN
Tali recalls her deadma and near death experiences as she tries to "put herself out there". She talks about Escolta Man and how her single life seemed pretty shitty before James came along.
CHAPTER 3: MOBILE GAMES MIGUEL
After meeting James Flores at a company retreat, Tali shares the story about her ex Miguel, the Mobile Games Addict. She is still unaware of James' reputation as the office fuckboy.
CHAPTER 4 JAMES, THE OFFICE FUCKBOY - HOOK
James invites Tali to Poblacion, Makati for the first time. They go to Pura Vida, a Costa Rican reggae bar where our resident office fuckboy shares fragments of his very juice past. Will The Poblacion Tita take the bait?
CHAPTER 5: JAMES, THE OFFICE FUCKBOY - LINE
After learning about his past, Tali ignores James but the latter pursues the tita like a rabid dog out to suck on a bone marrow. James invites the Tali to Almacen, another bar in Poblacion, Makati where they had a very remarkable we're-not-20-anymore date.
“WELL, THIS IS AWKWARD.
Of all the days I have to run into my ex, it has to be on a day when I’m clearly wearing the most office tita outfit of all time: black, sleeveless turtle neck from harlan+holden, silver comfy sandals from Fitflop, and a classy-looking dark blue culottes from Taytay tiangge that I secretly ordered from that online store in FB live because I’m too lazy to make the trip.”
