I called Qing one afternoon while taking a break from work...

Qing: Hey, love. What is going on?

Me: What are you doing?

Qing: Thinking of uploading this video of me dubbing a scene on a movie...

I laughed. Qing got this weird thing now. He likes voice dubbing nowadays. Which is cute because we had that while in college. We will put our voices on clips and see how well we can do it. I uploaded videos too.

We stopped that for awhile but now Qing is picking up on it again. The man had too much time on his hands.

Or does he think he is Superman again that can do many things in one day? Huh?

Never mind. All that matters is Qing is happy with what he is doing to keep busy.

Me: (smiling because I find him cute) Did it went well?

Qing: I think so. I mean, you are still better at it but let's admit it, you are really good because you can even imitate singers and female voices. So...

I smiled at that.

Me: Upload it already. I know you will be good on it.

Qing: Okay. Why did you call?

Me: To tell you that we should never break up.

Silence from the other line.

Qing: Oh boy...what is it this time?

Me: (excited to impart some bits of trivia with him) It's scientifically proven that it will take a person 18 months to fully move on from a failed relationship. 18 months?! Imagine that.

Qing: I am imagining it.

Me: Do you know how many things you can do in 18 months? I can shoot three movies and promote 2 full length albums in 18 months.

Qing: Uhuh...

Me: While you can start a business, make it grow and sell it for a bigger price to earn profits in the same amount of time.

Qing: (sounding unsure) Are you telling me you want to make movies and promote albums while you also want me to do business and earn profits?

Me: No. What I am saying is, imagine how wealthy we will be, if we break up...

Qing: (spluttering) But you just said you don't want to break up!

Me: I don't want to break up! Will you let me finish first before reacting...

Qing: Sorry. Go on...

Me: But if we break up, imagine how long it will take you to forget me. 18 months. That's one and a half year! Can you believe it?

Qing: I cannot believe it.

Me: Huh?

Qing: I cannot believe that you have the time to think about this nonsense. I cannot believe your brain can do enough Math that you can surmise that 18 months equals one and a half year. And I cannot believe you called me to ramble things like this to me...

I was stunned at the irritation on his voice.

Me: You don't want me to call you when I want to ramble on things?
