"Hello, bespren."

"Oh, hello, ba't ngayon ka lang nag-load?"

"Sensya naman, medyo busy eh."

"Akala ko ba may ikukuwento ka?"

"Oo nga, eto na nga, kaya nga tinawagan na kita eh, nag-unli na ko para makwento ko sa 'yo"

"Sus, tungkol na naman sa boss mo yan eh. Asan ka na ba?"

"Nasa MRT pa lang ako, anyway, grabe, nakakakilig kahapon, personal pa kong kinausap nung boss ko para ituro yung framework na gagamitin ko. Grabe talaga kilig ko kahapon, muntik na ko maihi"

"Dapat pala may suot kang diaper. He he, oh tapos, anong nangyari?"

"Eh di yun. Tapos nag-program na ko."

"Yun lang? Kinilig ka na dun?"

"Magkatabi kaya kami ng upuan!"

"Malamang!"

"Heto pa, nung tanghali, magkasabay pa kaming kumain!"

"Niyaya ka niyang kumain sa labas? Weh?"

"Hindi. Kasi sa ofis namin, merong pantry."

"Ano?"

"Pantry, kainan siya na parang kusina, na may mga mesa, upuan..."

"Oo, alam ko kung ano yung pantry, meron din kami nun, di mo na kailangang i-describe. Oh anong nangyari?"

"Eh binaunan ako ni Mama kahapon, kaya dun ako kumain sa pantry, tapos maya-maya, umupo na siya sa tabi, tapos yun, kumain din siya sa tabi ko. Eeeeee...."

"Ang landi mo talaga bespren. Nag-usap naman kayo?"

"Hindi eh, siyempre kumakain siya, ayoko namang istorbohin... tsaka, alam mo na, medyo suplado eh..."

"Ha ha!! Kita mo na.. malamang umupo lang yun sa tabi mo kasi wala na siyang ibang maupuan"

"Medyo marami ngang tao sa pantry nung time na yun."

"Ha ha!! Sabi ko sa 'yo eh, nilalagyan mo ng kulay yung mga coincidences..."

"Grabe, nakakainis ka, hindi ka supportive! Ngapala, yung script na hinihingi ko sa yo kahapon?"

"Ayun, ine-mail ko na sa yo. Inayos ko na yun ah, wala na yung bug nun dati. Ang gawin mo lang, ikabit mo lang yun sa page, tapos palitan mo lang yung mga variables pati yung mga data fields na katumbas niya sa database. Kinommentan ko naman yun, kaya mate-trace mo naman kung ano yung kailangang palitan."

"Ok, ok, salamat besfren..."

"Aysus, may utang ka sa kin ah... kala mo libre yun..."

"Oo na, sige na, samahan na kita manood ng... ano nga ba yung gusto mong panoorin?"

"Thor."

"Oo, Thor, sige... food lang sagot ko ah, ikaw sa ticket"

"Hala, ano kaya yun, dapat nga ako ililibre mo eh, mas malaki kaya allowance d'yan sa pinago-OJT-han mo.

"Eee... alam mo namang kailangan ko yung pera..."

"Oo na, oo na, sige na... Ang daya talaga. Basta sa Harry Potter, yung 3D ang papanoorin natin ah, mag-ipon ka na."

"Siyempre naman! Ay, Ortigas na pala, sige, sige, ba-bye."

"Sige ba-bye, ingat. Gusto mo sabay na tayo umuwi?"

"Huwag na, 5 ang out mo di 'ba, 7 pa ako, matagal ka pang maghihintay. Next time na lang. Sige, ingat din."

"Excuse me, Ms. Aquino, right? Can I talk to you for a second?"

"Sir?"

"Nakita ko yung mga changes mo dun sa ibang PHP files, what do you think you're doing?"

"Po?"

"Malinaw ang specifications dun sa design, at approved na yun ng client, you should not be meddling with that. Your job is to implement the design. Yun LANG ang trabaho mo!"

"Sir, naisip ko lang naman po kasi na, design flaw po yun..."

"Well it's not your problem! God, this is why I hate interns.. Now we have a meeting with the client, hindi ko tuloy alam kung pano ko..."

"Sir, pwede ko naman pong i-revert sa SVN yung mga binago ko."

"Then do it."

"Opo."

"On second thought, wag na. The clients are on their way, baka masira mo pa lalo. Just be sure to fix it first thing in the morning tomorrow! I'll just make up an excuse..."

"Opo sir, sorry po..."

KA-BLAG!

"Ha ha!! Delikado yang kumakain ng kahit ano. Sige, lunch out ha, see you later."

Of Buses

I awoke at the voice of the conductor. I looked through the half-tinted, fogged window of the bus, and saw that it was drizzling outside. The road was busy, deceitful and unwelcoming, as cars veered to and fro it's intersections. I stared at Rachel, sitting beside me, sleeping, her head resting on her side, with her hair brushing along the scarlet curtains. I watched as the lights from outside brightened her full cheeks. She is beautiful as ever. I noticed her pale red lips, dried by the cold temperature of the bus, move and twitch, and so I let my eyes escape her view. "Are we there yet?" she whispered, half-awake. I let out a sigh, then turned my head to her, shaking it, smiling. "What's taking us too long?" "We got stuck in traffic earlier. As always." Now its her turn to let out a sigh, an irritated one, and I saw her breath as it came out of her mouth. "Do you feel cold?" I asked. She nodded. I reached out my arm to t...

Perfect Love Story

This is my perfect love story. We meet while I am having a summer vacation in Puerto Princesa. Or maybe Boracay. Or Pagudpud. Or Baler. You are visiting your family. Or maybe you are taking a break with your friends. Or colleagues. We are in a restaurant, a cafe, and I am ordering a drink or a meal, and you are doing the same. We catch a glimpse at each other, and at that instantaneous moment, we both know. We are meant to be. The world stops spinning. But only in our heads, because everyone around us continue moving. Yet, we don't care. Time stands still, and all I see is you. I smile, and you catch yourself smiling back. You break your stare and blush. Time starts moving again. From that moment on, I couldn't stop looking your way. Yet you keep avoiding my eyes. Of course you will. You are a proud woman, you're not cheap, you're not easy to get. You stand up and excuse yourself. You say you are not feeling well and you start walking back to your cottage. I stan...

Gracenote's First Movement

Gracenote's First Movement makes a lasting movement. I am a fan of Gracenote. Their music is reminiscent of the 90's pop-rock that I grew up with, combined with punkish-rock elements. They're not too heavy, and not too pop either, they're at the middle, and that's why rockers from both spectrum can enjoy their sound. The Gracenote, from left to right Alvin Ortiz (who, sadly, already departed the band), Chen Pangan, Eunice Jorge, Jazz Jorge and EJ Pichay First Movement , I believe, is their second album. The first one, self-titled Gracenote , was released independently some time in 2009. Since then, they have come a long way and their music evolved. Three years ago you might have dared call them a Paramore knock-off, but now they are Gracenote. First Movement consists of 8 tracks, the last one being an acoustic version of their current single, Amnesia . Kicking off the album is Knock Knock , written by the band's lead vocalist herself, Eunice Jorge....
