Musta naman dyan?

Ei, Rando!

Musta naman diyan? It's my last day vacation today. Well, I'm drinking with my brothers and cousins. This you don't like about me. Hehehe. Sorry, Dude. Last na to. Promise!

The Company is a mess. Well, of course, your partners will not accept it. It's a typical thing. No negatives. We are doing fine. Hehehe. But we are not!

Managers after managers are resigning already.

Anyways, I resigned and left the Company already BUT I will always remember and cherish the good things that you gave and passed down to me.

I never had the opportunity to thank you and I will do it now...

Thank you for believing in me.

Thank you so very much.

Alba gubra!!!!

GASTON: Who does she think she is? That girl has
tangled with the wrong man. No one says 'no' to Gaston!

LEFOU: Darn right!

GASTON: Dismissed. Rejected. Publicly humiliated. Why, it's more than I can bear.
(turns chair away)

LEFOU: (Runs in front of him)
More beer?

GASTON: (Turns chair away again)
What for? Nothing helps. I'm disgraced.

Pakshit

Karipunat!

At this time and hour, I don't paking know what to really say and do... BUT after two bottles of Grand Ma with my brother and sister... I went back to our High School days and then to Sampaguita...

BING, you deserve to be happy and you deserve the best. You have the whole world to conquer. The UNKNOWN is an adventure and you don't really know what lies ahead. It's gonna be exciting.

Me? My partner and my future wife would never understand my way of life and would never know you, my dear friend, but she'll soon recognize and know you and accept my friendship with you.

But then, this is me... I'll always venture into the unknown. There is always a first time and the first step is, yes, exciting.

Go, Bing! I still wish you the best with him. But always think that God gave us free will and Eve was taken from the rib of Adam, to be his equal.

Take care, Bing.

It's not that dark...

The night was long, dark and desolate. The wind was blowing hard. Somber clouds concealed the moon and the stars. Eerie sounds filled the air.

In a small nipa hut in a remote barrio, a young lad sat alone and afraid. He looked nervously at his flickering candle. It was the last candle he had. It couldn’t possibly last through the night. Just the thought of being all alone in the darkness made him shiver.

If only he wasn’t alone, things wouldn’t be as bad. Yes, if only… but there were happy times. But the more he thought about it, the more it made him long for company.

So he thought about the tough times he went through. Times filled with problems big and small which he thought would never end. For him it was amazing that somehow he managed to make it through. He was far from being religious but he had faith in God.

The young lad then approached the bamboo window of his hut and looked outside. The moon had managed to escape from the clouds. But its light was still faint and helpless against the blanket of darkness. There wasn’t much he could see. The wind was still blowing hard. From afar, he could still hear strange sounds.

He closed the bamboo window to keep out the wind. Then, he went back to where the flickering candle stood and took a look at it. It could probably last for another hour but it didn’t really matter. He knew deep inside that he’d be fine even without it. There was really nothing to be afraid of.

Then the young lad smiled to himself. Yes, the night maybe long, dark and desolate but it doesn’t last forever.
