* february 2, 2004 *

It was a cold day in paris, so raymond went to this cafe and ordered a coffee, when he was busy with his drink, a woman caught his eyes, he was totally mesmerized with her but he saw her crying, he couldn't help it so he went up to her and offered a handkerchief. It took seconds before the lady accepted it.

"salamat ha!"

"pinoy ka!?"( gulat na sabi nito)

"ha!, bakit hindi ba halata!?"

"hindi!"

"pasensya na ha kung na disturbo pa kita!"

"ano, hindi!"

"gusto mong umupo!?"

"ok lang ba!?"

"oo naman!"

Raymond then offered his hands and introduced himself

"ako nga pala si raymond!"

"ha!"

"ikaw anong pangalan mo!? wag kag mag.alala hindi ako masamang tao!"(smiling)

"im andrea!"

Raymond then ask her on why she's in paris and she just told him she just need some space and freedom from the chaos in her family in the philippines. Hours later although they pretty much enjoyed talking to each other andrea told raymond that she has to go.

"aalis kana! hatid na kita!"

"ha!?"

"wag kang mag.alala harmless akong tao noh!tsaka mukhang first time mo pa dito, baka maligaw kapa!"

"bakit tagarito kaba!?"

"well hindi pero pang second time ko na dito!"

"ok!"

"so ano halika na!"

When she told him her hotel, they decided to just walk going there since its not too far from the coffee shop,,while walking raymond noticed that she's feelin cold so he took off his jacket and gave it to her.

"hoy baka lamigin!"

"ok lang, sanay nanaman ako"(pilit tinago ni raymond ang nginig dahil sa lami)

"sigurado ka!?"

"oo nga"
