"Good morning."

"Good morning Ms. Bea, have a seat."

"Thank you."

"The floor is yours."

Bea was shocked.

"Oh that look, well this is not the usual question and answer you're expecting. And instead of the typical 'tell us something about yourself', tell me about your work. What, why, how, all up to you. I may ask anytime but as much as possible I want the writer to freely express herself, no problem how you want to present it and any language will do. You may start now."

Being the OC Bea that she is she initially thought of a formal presentation but decided to do it just naturally, she'll say whatever she feels.

"If you look closely at the cover photo or the 'poster', it basically sums up what is this all about.
I believe you somehow read the script. For me when you say true to life it's exactly what happened and I personally think there's no thing such as that. That's why we usually see 'based on or inspired by', there are always twists. Even in MMK or Magpakailanman there's 'dagdag-bawas' for entertainment purposes.
If you notice I'm the narrator. This is just my side, if Thirdy will write this maybe he has a different version. So yes, Epiphany is 'based on / inspired by' my life story. I wrote this to finally let this out. I've been keeping this to myself for yearsss. Now I can finally share it to the world 'if fortunate enough' without them knowing that it's me, it's my story. Besides hindi naman alam ng audience which parts are real and which are not. Yes, kung mapili my work 'sorry for being conyo'..."

"I actually noticed that while reading, now I know it is really you. It's OKay, continue."

"If maapprove nga 'tong story ko I want to change the character names. I just had to use our real names while doing this para mas mafeel ko.
When I sent Thirdy my long condolence / 'letting go' message, the following day I started writing this. Not that I am bitter with everything that has happened but I'm doing this because I want to present the reality of life. Na hindi lahat ng 'sa hinaba-haba ng prusisyon sa simbahan din ang tuloy', it can also be sa hinaba-haba wala rin palang patutunguhan. That not all whys have answers, you have to leave it as 'it is what it is'. That not everyone is fortunate enough to get the closure na gusto nila. Also, that moving on isn't just para sa mga naging officially together. One more thing, how mixed signals can affect an individual's life."

The person from the film production was just listening to Bea, attentively.

"When we were in 1st year, the only time na nakapunta si Thirdy sa bahay. When he told me that kung anong iniisip mo 'yun na 'yun. And I was honestly thinking that time na nagseselos siya kay Jolo kaya bigla siyang nawala sa mood.
Aaron. Bakit ganon na lang 'yung inis niya when he found out we had lunch.
And bakit hindi pa pala agad naging sila ni Denice, ba't nauna pa kami ni Isaac. Really, why?"

"That's why I don't follow the interview type. I really love when the writers just talk and talk. Listening to you, I can already picture out the movie. I must say flashbacks will be important part of it."
