Isang Munting Wish (NSFW)

Tinananong  ng aking band of brothers kung ano daw ang wish ko.

Sabi ko, na kasama ko sila nung gabi na yun e wish enough na. Mababaw lang naman ang kaligayahan ko e.

Pero echuzerang froglette si Eternal Wanderer. Meron talagang syang gustong makasama nung gabing yun:

NSFW

Sana ako na lang yung twalya hihihihi

E kung sana sya yung kasama ko buong gabi, e di sana kumpleto kumpleto yung eve ng 27th b-day ko.

Oo, 27th b-day ko. Walang kokontra sa 27th, ok? HAHAHAHAHAHA

Memories and Cowardice: An Apology

"Anong pagkain mo sa bag?" I asked as I approached my friend at the back of the bus. We were enroute from Sweden to Germany; I was hungry and it was way past lunch time with no pit stop in sight.

She smiled as she handed me her large tote bag.

"Eto, may tinapay pa at mga jam from breakfast kanina. May nilagang itlog din dyan. Hanapin mo na lang yung asin sa pakete."

For Rudeboy

May this compass guide your way out of your labyrinth of darkness.

That's all I wish for - that you find your true north of peace once more.

Belated happy birthday, Ruddie.

For what it's worth, here's to more happy returns.

Memento Mori (A Repost)

I was silently admiring the orchids of your mom while you were off and about rummaging through her things. Some of them were in bloom, painting the simple garden with vivid shades of violet, magenta, and ochre. It's not easy to coax an orchid to bloom, much less have several of them sprout at the same time. I couldn't help but think, "What a beautiful and impressive sight!"

Eternal Wanderer is Grateful

Thank goodness, I'm over that nasty bump.  I hate it when episodes like those occur. They're nasty, and absolutely ruin my long, flaxen locks perfectly coiffed into a sweeping french twist.

Humpft.

Tawagin Mo Akong Ligaya: The G4M Adventures 1

Isang gabi, magkasabay kami ni Cubao Boy na nagchat sa lobby ng G4M.  Napansin ko na abala syang chinachat.  E shempre, nag-oshoso ako. Ako fa! May cam ang kolokoy na nakulitan ni CB, so clinick ko.

Ay. Teh, naka-shorts sya. At sando. Sight na sight ko ang arms nya. And mind you, biceps pa lang, ulam na. Ang sarap papakin! *tulo laway*

Aba, magpapahuli ba ako kay CB? Of course not! Naki-eksena ako.

Ternie: Hoy, CB, pakilala mo naman ako sa kausap mo.

CB: Ay. Chege. Eternal Wanderer, meet Pilosopo. Pilosopo, meet Eternal Wanderer.

Pilosopo: Hi, Eternal Wanderer!

Ternie: Oh, please you're too formal. Do call me Ternie. I'm dalisay, busilak, and mayumi. And you're smokin' hot.

Nakita kong natawa sya on cam. Bumenta yata ang hirit ko.

Pilosopo: Sure, sure. Lemme do that again. Hi Ternie, I'm Tasyo. You wana go private on YM? *winks*

Aw.

A Christmas Carol

"Look around about and see, 
what a world of wonder this world can be!"

Despite a rough year, this is the perfect time to remember that there are still plenty of things to be grateful for.

With this performance he sang at, Eternal Wanderer wishes all his family, friends, and readers, and his Hello Kitty, a truly meaningful season.

A Merry, Merry Christmas to you all!

Cubao Boy + EB + Eternal Wanderer = Astro Gheys

May ilang buwan nang hindi nakapanood si Eternal Wanderer ng sine.  Ang huli pa yatang napanood nya na sine ay UP. Matagal-tagal na rin iyon.  Kaya nung nagyaya manood ng sine si EB, e sige lang go lang ng go kahit may trabaho.

(hango sa conversation sa YM ni Eternal Wanderer at EB)

Para sa Iyo. Oo, Ikaw!

Alam kong binabasa mo ito. At ito lang ang masasabi ko.

Isa kang malaking ganito:

Sapol sa noo!

AHAHAHAHAHA

Scatch My Itch

Eternal Wanderer is having an itch lately. It bothers him so much that he keeps on tossing and turning at night. He's seeking a way to relieve himself because the insatiable craving is building up big, big time. He fears he might lose control any moment.

You see, Eternal Wanderer is having a severe case of techie gadget itch.

hahahahahaha

He's thinking of junking his white Macbook for a new 15 inch Macbook Pro. He's actually been salivating at the thought of acquiring the unibody model ever since it came out last year. The battery life longer, about 7 hrs or so compared to the paltry 2.5 hours of the older Macbooks. Plus the new Macbooks have a dvd writer and SD card-reader already built in, as opposed to the older model.

The downside? It's gonna set him back by roughly 113 grand. Throw in about 40K, and he can already buy a decent second-hand car. Or at 113K, he can get a cool Windows-based laptop, and rig up 3 powerful desktops, as well.

Speaking of desktops, Eternal Wanderer is also thinking of doing an upgrade with his desktop. He loves his desktop since he works it like there's no tomorrow. He learned the hard (and expensive) way of not abusing a laptop by leaving it powered-on for weeks at a time. A year and P14,ooo bucks later, he realized that desktops are still the way to go for everyday, heavy duty usage. His current, more than two years old desktop is respectable enough: a 2.66 Core2Duo with 2 GB RAM and a 500 GB HD running on an XP SP3 operating system. But now, he's down to prolly the last 15 GB of HD space, so a new 1.5 TB HD is in order (am I a hard dicks disk slut or what?). And since Eternal Wanderer is a coke-sniffing, speed-lovin' junkie, he's thinking of jacking off up his RAM to 3 GB, maybe even 4 GB if he shifts into a 64-bit o.s. He might also change processors to either a Core i5 or i7, so he can have a good, if not unnecessary, reason to shift into the new Windows 7 o.s.

Of course, that's roughly gonna cost him 25K.

Crap.

Maybe EB is right. Eternal Wanderer, at the very least, should change the battery of his trusty old N73. For just a thousand bucks , he can enjoy hours of talking dirty and nasteeh pleasure with his friends without having to plug in the cell in EW's Grand Canyon the charger every time lolz!

P.S. Eternal Wanderer wants to strangle the love spear of Cubao Boy for buying the new Snow Leopard o.s. of Mac. Grrrrrr!

The Homecoming, an Epilogue

At one point, I was taking a yosi break after clearing out the things that could still be saved. Most of the furniture were intact, but almost all the appliances had to go. Sure, the refrigerator, the t.v.'s, and all the other appliances could always be replaced. However, there were certain objects that were painful to lose. The old pictures and albums of my family were glued together in a wet, sticky mess. The comics that I had kept from my childhood were in tatters. My mom's old letters, which I carefully kept under my aparador, were gone. The extensive classical cds I collected from all the travels I did through the years were in a large black trash bag.

I was heartbroken. It was hard to let go.

All I could do was find a dark corner where no one could see me, sit down, and tear up silently.

-----

A poignant scene from the movie "Up" crossed my mind. The old man had a treasured scrapbook his late wife put together. In it contained the pictures and memorabilia of their life they shared. Until that moment, he never saw that there was still space at the end the album. Written there was a note from his wife saying that they had the most wonderful memories together. It was now up to him to fill up the proceeding space with new memories of his own.

Then I thought, alright, these nostalgic things of mine are ruined and have to be thrown out. But they can never be lost because they are just mere physical representations of my past. They are in here, indelibly etched in my mind and heart. They will be always remembered for as long as I live.

I felt comforted with these thoughts. I reminded myself, just like the character in "Up", I now have a blank space - literally. It is the perfect opportunity to add new memories and experiences to fill out the remaining pages of my life.

And besides, Musa, my beloved Rhodesian ridgeback, was still able to leap at me with joy when he saw me come home. Yes, he survived the great deluge. He entered our helpers' quarters, the only area that wasn't reached by the flood waters. If he is still able to be happy after what happened, who am I not to be overjoyed? My family and I came through this trying chapter in our lives hale and whole.

Yes, we are safe.

Yes, we still have a roof over our heads.

Truly, there are things to be grateful for.

-----
A shoutout of thanks to all my friends who texted, called, ym'd, fb'd, twitted, and commented their concern and support. But my most special thanks goes to Jay Vee and Ting Ting Cojuangco (who chose to celebrate his birthday by being there at my house to provide manpower), both of whom helped me lift the old and heavy furniture around the house, and hosed down and scrubbed away the muck. To my school girl-friends, my special thanks, too, for washing the dishes and knick knacks that need to be cleaned (it was a sight to see PKF sitting down on a small plastic timba washing the dishes in a metal palanggana. Wearing a bolero skirt with matching boots. Leather high-heeled boots, mind you. Tell me, how bonnga can that get pa? lolz). And for those whose rooms and beds provided me respite at the end of the tiring days of cleaning up, my heartfelt thanks, too. Mapa-kama man o mapasahig, ang importante nakatulog ako ng mabuti. To all of you, you gave meaning to the phrase "walking the talk." May your tribe increase a hundredfold!

I was silently admiring the orchids of your mom while you were off and about rummaging through her things.

It's not easy to coax an orchid to bloom, much less have several of them sprout at the same time. I couldn't help but think, "What a beautiful and impressive sight!"

-----

The journey back wasn't easy for you and your kuya, that I'm sure of. You had a lot of things running through your mind, so I just let you talk and listen to whatever ramblings that crossed your thoughts. A faint smile even crossed my lips when you showed me her i.d. It was amusing to be regaled with the vignettes of how you were growing up, and how it was related to your present relationship with your mom. I knew it wasn't an everyday thing that you did this, and I was privileged to see and enter another facet of you which I knew you weren't really keen on showing.

-----

The sun had barely risen in the dawn sky when you came back to the car where I was waiting the whole time. There was not a cloud in sight, a herald of a good day in contrast to the gloomy weather that pervaded the past weeks or so.

"Wala na si Nanay," you said to me quietly as you approached me.

I blinked once, twice. I couldn't comprehend what you said immediately.

"Ano?"

"Wala na si Nanay," you said once again, still softly.

All I could see was the far-away look in your eyes. There was a surge of emotion within me, and I felt I had to hug you right then and there.

We lit a cigarette at the edge of the hospital compound while I silently kept you company.

"Kumusta ka na?," I asked at one point.

"Okay naman. Mabilis, pero ganun talaga."

Then, you paused.

"Wala na akong masungit na ina."

At that point, I didn't know what my appropriate response should be: hit you on the nape, laugh out aloud, or shed a tear.

Instead, I muttered, "Gago ka talaga."

And you replied with a wan smile.

-----

I never had a chance to tell you this when I was there: all I could think about while looking at your mother's orchid garden was you. It may be hard to make an orchid bloom, but the sight of even a single flower is well worth the rocky effort of tending it.

You are your mother's orchid garden.

And she's one proud gardener with how beautiful the orchid garden turned out to be.

La Isla de las Marias Quatro Mahaderas viudas de las Mujeres Vaklitahs-Jones, o Paano Nagbakasyon ang Tropa ni Eternal Wanderer sa Island of Desire 1

Dahil kaladkarin nga ang tropa ni Eternal Wanderer, sila ay mahilig maglalagalag kung saan-saan. This time naman, e naiisipan nila mag-beach sa kalagitnaan ng bagyo season. Pero okay lang, wala namang bagyo nun naglakwatsa sila. On the other hand, sila nga ang nagkalat ng unos ng ka-vekhihan sa isla na ito:

Cagbalete Island!

Ang taray ng tempation island, ano?

May pagka-epic adventure yung pagpunta nila dito. At ito ay nag-umpisa sa usap nila ni Totoy Mola sa YM.

Totoy Mola: Hoy, vehki!
Eternal Wanderer: Bakit, tuod?
TM: Gumawa ka nga ng schedule at costing ng lakad natin. Gusto ko maayos ang pagkagawa mo sa Excel a.
EW: Opo, kamahalang Ma'am Tuod.

Nakakalurkey si Totoy Mola, ever! E ano ba namang malay ni Eternal Wanderer sa Excel na yan? Ang alam lang nyang gawin sa computer e manood sa Lifeout at X-Tube at mag-torrent ng Randy Blue at Sean Cody. Pero dahil masipag at maabilidad naman si Eternal Wanderer, matapos ang limang oras e nakagawa naman sya ng costing at scheduling sa Excel.

Ito ang kinalabasan:

Bonggang-bongga di ba? May scheduling at costing pa para sa hadahan!

Island of Desire

Talaga namang lagalag si Eternal Wanderer at ang tropa nya. Mahilig sila magsususuot kung saan-saan. Kaya nung weekeend, sila ay napadpad sa isang isla sa may Pacific Ocean.

Bonnga ng rampahan, di ba?

Mga Piling Piling Pelikula 2

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen - As much as I was delighted with the first film, the sequel proved to be the opposite. I felt the whole story was bogged down with too much back story, despite the kick-ass special effects and battle sequences. The flow of the plot was also surprisingly dragging for a film of this genre. I found myself fidgeting in my seat, looking at my watch, and even yawning at times. It definitely could've benefited from tighter editing to speed up the pace of the film.

On the upside though, for the carpet munchers out there, the girls are smokin'!

Urgh. I don't believe I just said that! *barfs*

EW rating: 3/5. Ho-hum

Drag Me to Hell - Yes, please do so. I came in expecting a good horror film, and came out scratching my head and wondering, "What the fuck was that all about?" The plot line and the horror scenes were so ridiculous that it bordered on high camp. I couldn't help but laugh out aloud at the most inopportune moments, most especially in the scary scenes of the movie. The whole film had a very B-movie feel to it that I think was very much intentional. My cup of tea most certainly it wasn't. I very much want my horror films scare the shit outta me, thank you.

I have to admit, the cadaver retching the nasty stuff (formalin?) into the mouth of the lead actress was priceless in gross kind of way. Hehehe

EW: 2/5. Can be a cult classic 20 yrs from now.

Ice Age : Dawn of the Dinosaurs - The first movie was cute. The second one, less cute. This one was crap. Talk about being being dinosaur-paced (pun most intended) with the intermittent jokes thrown in once for good measure. It was so boring I actually dozed off for a good ten minutes or so. The only saving grace was that Cubao Boy and I watched it in 3-D. I had more fun watching the objects zoom out of the screen than paying attention to the story.

EW: 1.5/5. Skip it. You'll definitely save money.


Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince - This is the proverbial calm before the big storm of the finale in the whole franchise of the series. Very much like the book, the movie functioned more as a back story filler rather than than a device to move the narrative of the saga. The result? It was slower-paced compared to the other movies, but rewarding in terms of adding more layers to the saga as a whole. The lead trio were no longer the cutesy tykes from the first film, and they were given just the right adolescent touches in this movie. I still think that Helana Bonhan Carter as Bella Lestange was a brilliant casting coup, and I could think of no other actress fit to portray Minerva McGonagall than Dame Maggie Smith. I just can't wait for the last film to come out!

EW's rating: 4/5. Slow but steady rise to the climax.

Next movie. And in IMAX, too. Woohoo!!

Mga Piling Piling Pelikula 1

I just realized I relatively chalked up a lot of movie-going this year. I guess the convenience of downloading stuff has taken its toll on my at least once-a-week routine of watching movies in a real cinema house. But like I said, lately, I've found myself watching movies the old fashioned way with Totoy Mola, Cubao Boy, and Ting Ting Cojuangco in various permutations. Good thing, since it serves as a reminder to me that nothing really beats watching movies where they were meant to be seen: on the big silver screen.

Here are some of the movies I've watched this past few months:


The Watchmen - For a comic geek like me, this has gotta be a dream come true. After about 20 years, the ground-breaking series was finally brought to the big screen. But like any other adaptation, there were some parts that were taken out, condensed, and revised. And yes, there stretches that dragged a tad bit for comfort. But the basic Machiavellian premise of the comic book still came across clear as water in the movie: is it justified to sacrifice a couple million of people for the greater good of the billions?

Eternal Wanderer's rating: 3.5/5. Very much watchable even if you're not familiar with the comic.


Pssst...Tenament 2 - The third installment of Chito Roño's horror trilogy (and perhaps the weakest of the three). Coincidentally, the 2nd installment, Sukob, was probably the last Filipino film I watched in a movie house (yes, shame on me). It was interesting for Roño to dig-up the mythos surrounding the folkloric beliefs about encantos, but for all the modernization surrounding the film, it lacked one of the basic requirements of an engaging film: a good and focused narrative. I felt there was too much meandering in the plot, and at the end, I couldn't decide if it was a crappy horror film or a fantaserye gone rotten. Too bad, since Fung Shui and Sukob were films I really, really enjoyed.

EW's rating: 2.5/5. If you're looking for something to do to kill time, be my guest.


Star Trek - The best lot of the films I've watched so far! In this case, the updating of the Star Trek franchise worked very much to its favor. The result was a fresher and edgier twist to familiar characters. I loved the way they incorporated the time-travel factor to open the gate to a fresh reboot. This plot twist allowed the most seasoned Trekkie to experience the origins with a brand-new perspective, and at the same time, presented to newbie a very approachable initiation into the franchise itself. It had none of the clunky special effects you'd associate with the older films and the the original TV series. Instead, one is rewarded with eye-popping space battle scenes coupled with a fast-paced and tightly knit narrative. Definitely a winner!

And if you ask me, never in my life has it crossed my mind that Capt James T. Kirk can be extremely HOT in his undies!

Teehee

EW rating: 5/5. Don't miss this one!

Nang Lusubin ng Apat na Vahklitah ang Maynila 3

Ang huling pinuntahan ng 3 vahklita + 1 vhoy + 1 coñitang vehky ay ang simbahan ng Binondo. Sa kasawiang palad, sarado na ito. Sayang kasi maganda pa naman ang loob nito. At dahil wala na silang maiasipang gawin ay nagpicture, at nag picture, at nag picture na lang sila sa labas ng simbahan. Lahat pinatos. Jusme, si Totoy Mola, walang awa. Pati yung kabayo't karitela, pinatos. Di naman sya adek-adekan sa kodakan ano?

Fine. Aaminin ko na. May K sya magpapicture. Kasi gwapo naman sya. Kahit na sya ay isang tuod.

Wahahahahaha

So ayun, naging masaya si Eternal Wanderer last weekend. Nakasama nya't nakagimik sina Cubao Boy, Man4Boys, Totoy Mola, at Miley Cyrus. Ang mga ganitong moments ay hindi nya ipagpapalit kailanman. Hindi dahil masaya't makukulit silang kasama, kundi ito ang mga panahon na makapag-bond sa mga kaibigan na tunay.

At ang mga kaibigan na ganito ay masasabi ni Eternal Wanderer na mga kaibigan na worth keeping for the rest of his life.

Let's drink to that!

Nang Lusubin ng Apat na Vahklitah ang Maynila 2

Nang matapos bilhin ni Man4Boys ang kanyang gagamitan para sa kanyang laruan (mahilig sya sa boy toys, pero this time e totoong toys for the boys ito), nagyaya syang pumunta ng Intramuros kasi di pa nakakadating doon si Totoy Mola simula nung maging b.s. sya. Hindi bulshet a. Bagong salta hahahahaha

Papasukin sana nila yun Rizal Shrine sa Fort Santiago, pero sarado na. Si Cubao Boy naman, di makapakali. Kuha ng kuha ng retrato sa kanyang dslr. Inagaw ni Eternal Wanderer ang camera at sinilip kung ano ang pinagkukukuha na shots. Baka naman kasi kung sino-sinong lalaki sa paligid na naman ang pinagkukukuha ni Cubao Boy. Pero hindi naman pala. Magaganda ang mga shots. May mga compostion churvie nang inaalam. Aba, e tunay na mahusay na photographer na si Cubao Boy!

Nilakad ni Eternal Wanderer, Man4Boys, Cubao Boy, at Totoy Mola mula Fort Santiago, patungong Manila Cathedral, hanggang San Agustin at babalik. Syempre inusyoso nila yung mga simbahan along the way. Mas malaki pala ang Manila Cathedral, pero mas maborloloy naman ang San Agustin. Nung pabalik na sila sa kotse, pinag-usapan nila kung saan sila magdidinner. Tutal nandoon na sila, might as well sa Chinatown na sila kumain. At dahil pussy na gala si Man4Boys ay alam nya ang mga pasikot-sikot ng Maynila. Agad nilang natumbok ang Wai Ying sa Buenaventura.

Nagutom ang mga vahklita 3 vahklita + 1 vhoy. Sang damukmok ang kanilang inorder: hakaw, radish cake, vegetable dumplings, dalawang taipao, beef wanton mami, white chicken mami, lemon chicken, at roast duck. Walang usap-usap nung dumating ang pagkain. Lafang kung lafang ang kanilang ginawa. Pero biglang tumili ulit telepono ni Eternal Wanderer.

Miley Cyrus: So where you guys na? (coñita ang nyetang vehky)
Eternal Wanderer: Nandito kami sa Wai Ying sa Binondo.
MC: Ay, really? Can I make sama ba with you if it's okay lang?
EW: Sure no problem. Where you ba? (nahawa na rin sa pagka-coñita)
MC: Basta I'm somwhere. I'll see you there na lang a!

Si Bb. Miley Cyrus talaga. Coñitang vehky na adek sa gimik. Kahit saang lupalop e papatusin nya.

Nang datnan silang apat ni Miley Cyrus, halos lupaypay na sila. Hindi dahil sa gutom kundi dahil sa bundat. Sinuggest tuloy ni Eternal Wanderer na maglakad at umikot ng konti sa Binondo para matanggal ang antok at pagkabundat. Kung anu-anong tindahan ang nakita nila doon. Pati yung orig na Eng Bee Tin e pinasok nila. Katapat nung Eng Bee Tin ay isang ubeng firetruck. Kakaiba ang kulay! Napaisip tuloy ni Eternal Wanderer. Anong itsura kung may 3 vahklita + 1 vhoy + 1 coñitang vehky na sumakay at gawing mala-float ng firetruck na may matching ube evening gowns.? Ang bonnga ever ng idea noh?

Masarap ang tulog ni Eternal Wanderer nung Linggo ng umaga. E paano ba naman, hanggang 4:30 a.m. magkasama pa sa gimikan sina Man4Boys, Totoy Mola, Cubao Boy, at Miley Cyrus. Kahit di nainom ng alak si Eternal Wanderer, nakatsyawan syang uminom ng shot ang Absolut Kurant (miminsan na nga lang uminon, kaya nagpaka-soshal sya. Ladies drink kung ladies drink, ayon kay Totoy Mola).

So ayun, habang kasalukuyang humihilik, gumagawa ng mapa ng Argentina sa unan, at napapanaginipan si Wafu (sabay-sabay yun a) e biglang nakalampog ang tulog ni Eternal Wanderer ng kanyang literal na tumitili na cell phone.

Totoy Mola: Hoy vhot-vhot gumising ka na.
Eternal Wanderer: (boses Inday Garutay kasi kakagising lang) Tuod ka! Ang aga-aga, nambubuset ka na naman! Batet?
TM: Si Man4Boys, nagyayayang mag-168. Daanan kita mga 3:00 p.m.
EW: Sige.

Di naman kaladkarin si Eternal Wanderer ano? Di pa nakadilat ang dalawang mata, sige kaagad ang tugon sa yaya ng tropa. At kahit tulog pa ang diwa nya, call sya agad kay Cubao Boy.

Eternal Wanderer: Hoy batugan, bumangon ka nga.
Cubao Boy: Tulog pa ako. Wag ka buset.
EW: Si Man4Boys nagyayaya mag 168. Daanan ka namin ni Totoy Mola mga 3:30 p.m.
CB: Okies.

Kung kaladkarin si Eternal Wanderer naman, ano pa ang tawag kay Cubao Boy (pwera sa masarap)? Kahit nakahilata pa sya sa kama suot-suot ang skimpy briefs nya at humihilik, sasagot yan ng oo kaagad basta hilahan time.

Kasi mahirap mag-park sa 168, e nag-alok si Man4Boys na kotse na lang nya ang gamitin papuntang Maynila (ang galante nya talaga. Etchoz!) So nagpark na lang sila Totoy Mola & co. sa may bandang Shaw at doon sila sinundo ni Man4Boys. Makulit silang apat sa kotse. Harutan ng harutan. Malamang na-miss nila ang isa't isa mula ng maghiwalay sila ng 4:30 ng umaga.

Pagdating nila sa 168, e umuulan na. Bopols din si Totoy Mola at si Eternal Wanderer. Nakita na ngang uulan, e nagshorts at tsinelas pa sila. Ang kinalabasan, e putik-putik ang kanilang mga paa at bagong manicured na toes. Pero di bale, pwera kay Man4Boys, e first time nilang lahat makapag-168. Ganun pala doon. Isang malaking tiangge na aircon. Samu't-saring bagay ang mga binebenta, mula sa mga kinky na panties, plato't baso, hanggang sa mga figurines, damit at wallet. Nakakaduling sa mata sa dami. At naduling din si Totoy Mola dahil may nakita syang gwapo.

TM: Ay, may gwapo doon o!
EW: Talande ka. Hanggang dito e naghahanap ka pa rin ng makakalantarin.
TM: May magagawa ba ako, e tumitingin sa akin. Gwapo kasi ako.
EW: Gwapo? Hindi ka gwapo. Ikaw ay isang tuod.
TM: Leche ka!
