George took A sip of wine,
and set the glass back down.
" Napaparami na inom mo ah ? "
Rein. Straightened his back.
" Hindi ah !
Naka three shots pa lang ako.
maayos pa nga ang salita ko
sa inyo oh. "
He laughed lightly
" Ano Rein ?
Sino nang bago natin ?
dapat next year meron na.
Lumalaki na si Allen. "
A man commented.
Still. His eyes were closed.
Rein smiled A little.
" I already found someone new.
One day I'll introduce her
to all of you. "
Rein answered.
A man laughed at him.
" Lasing na si Rein ! "
"Anong malay naman

Teka .. Kailangang may proof tayo. "
Hiningi ni George
ang videocamera.

the other commented.

" What ? We can't hear you. "
Inaantok at medyo nahihilo

" Si .. Shan .. Shanelle .. "
A man leaned forward
to intervene.

Do you know her ? "
He glanced at him with puzzlement.
" Shanelle ? "
He shrugged his shoulder.
" Wala pa siyang binabanggit sa akin pare. "
