Na naman? Ano ba yan..." "He he!" "Gusto mo i-text ko si Cecil, papuntahin ko dito." "Gago ka ba? Gusto mong mag-World War III dito?" "Ha ha!! World War III talaga?" "Pasok ka na, kanina ka pa hinihintay ni Gilbert." "Ngek!" "Nagdadrama nga na naman yun eh." "Palagi naman eh." "Ikaw kasi, binasted mo." "Hindi ko siya binasted no. Ano ba, akala ko ba naintindihan niya. Inexplain ko naman na sa kanya yung sitwasyon." "Ano bang sitwasyon?" "Na ayoko pang mag-boyfriend. Wala naman akong masasabi kay Gilbert, mabait naman siya, yun nga lang, di ba, hindi pa ito yung right time." "Sige, sabi mo eh. Tara na,...

I am not a religious person, I don't go to Church every Sunday, I don't have a rosary and I don't do the sign of the cross. However, I do believe in God, I believe in the Bible, and all that's written in it. I always tell myself and other people that my faith is stronger than any dogma, doctrine or tradition set by any religion. But as I went home one day, I noticed an advertisement pasted on the back of a bus, similar to this: Some say that the World, as we know it, will end (?) on May 21, 2011, Saturday.

Anyway, meet my first love - photography." "Talaga?" "Yeah. When I was a kid, I really dreamed of being a photographer, my Lola gave me my first SLR back in High School, di pa uso digital nun. Pero ayaw ni Papa, wala daw future sa photography. So, I took up Computer Engineering and here I am." "Aww... Hindi pa naman huli ang lahat Sir, pwede ka pa namang bumalik." "Nah, hindi na. I gave up my dream already." "Nooo, ...

You know, you're a very funny girl, had me laughing this whole morning." "Thank you po. Sige po..." "Ok." "Patay. Tinitingnan niya yung profile ko. Hala! Mababasa niya...
