          [ ] off mb muna. pm na lang.

( ' nods in agreement; Kaya 'di na lang ako nagugulat kapag sobrang packed ng mga cafes kahit tatlo-tatlo na. Hmmㅡ ( ' stares at my shoes; ㅡsiguro tama ka. Well, can't blame them. Ako lang millenial na lalake sa pamilya. All my cousins are female. ( ' diverts my gaze back at you; I guess I can't blame them. Lalo na't marami-rami talagang bagay na nangyayari ngayon ( ' quickly scans the place; I see, like a parallel universe? Wala, naalala ko lang na essay ko 'yan back then while studying philosophy. I was 12, anong inexpect nilang isagot ko? ( ' laughs a bit; 'Di ko na maalala sinagot ko d'on, to be quite honest.

I guess so. Kaya nga naghahanap ako ng pwedeng pagkaabalahan kapag free time ko. ( ' scoffs; 'Di kasi nila ako pinalalabas ng bahay ng basta, basta lang. ( ' stares at you intently; You sure? Sorry, I'm not a sympathetic person too. Speaking of death, do you believe in afterlife?

You're right. ( ' presses the base of my palm against my forehead; Geez, nahahawa na ako sa mga magulang kong obsessed sa idea na maging katulad namin ng pag-iisip ang lahat ng tao. ( ' shakes my head then laughs bitterly. halts then slowly lowers my hand; Oh. Well then, Iㅡ ( ' sighs; sorry. I should be more cautious, 'di naman lahat ng tao parang naglalakad sa paraiso katulad ko.

( ' focuses on your words, blinking slowly; I see, well at least you consider case-to-case. Sila kasi talaga hindi. Basta 'wag na 'wag raw magkaroon ng pake. ( ' shakes my head dismissively then backs away immediately after you punched my arm; Yah! ( ' frowns playfully; Kating-kati ka na ba mag-training or what? Kakagulat 'to. ( ' attempts to flick your forehead;

Pero isn't that more of a reason to be sentimental? Para naman 'yung alaala mo na lang 'bout d'on sa bagay na 'yon ang madadala mo? Hah, ( ' combs my hair back with my fingers; it's good to have this conversation, 'di ako nakagagalitan. ( ' licks my lower lip then bites my tongue before speaking; Ayoko na kasing makipagtalo sa kanila. The last time I did, ako 'yung naghirap kayaㅡshut up na lang ako ( lmao daniel padilla ). ( ' laughs; Yeah, you can say that. Nase-stress nga sila dahil sa kayamanan nila, so asa'n 'yung pagiging 'di realistic d'on?

( ' nods; Yes, that. I kinda believe the part where 'di madadala 'yung material things after mamatay pero...if you remain indifferent 'bout those things, then anong purpose nila sa mundo na 'to, diba? ( ' laughs a bit while shaking my head; And yeah, parents. Kung nandito sila, baka tinakwil na nila ako. Funny nga ehー ( ' points everywhere; iyon, iyon, iyon, at iyon? Ang pagkakaalam ko, nasa ilalim nila 'yang mga establishments na 'yan.

( ' purses my lips, in deep thought; Paano ko ba ie-explainㅡ ( ' chuckles softly; ㅡhirap kasi kapag wala 'yung context pero basically there's this book, sa bahay na sobrang sagrado, I think some other people have it pero sa pamilya ko lang ata 'yung kumpleto. ( ' shrugs; Long story short nakalagay d'on na material things are evil at kapag namatay daw, 'di naman 'yon madadala to a place called 'Heaven'. ( ' leans forward then whispers; Honestly, for 18 years of studying this...'di ko pa rin talaga alam why I preach. ( ' backs away then fixes the collar of my shirt;
