"If, one, you didn't come out, and two, if things meant I was falling for you and I decided to do something about it, then would you give me a chance?"
"You and me? Anong tanong yan? Are you serious?"
"Wala ako in priest mode."
"Pano mo nasabi yung number two, aber?"
"Akala ko halata na! Naalala ko kasi yung sinabi ko kay Clarence minsan. 'Alam mo, crush ko si Elaine.' Passing thought lang. Natawa na lang ako na nauna yung photo ko sa'yo sa GMG booth, tapos nag-meet tayo. Tapos wala lang."
"Hindi kaya halata..."
"Ganun?"
"And when did you say that to ate Clarence?"
"Nung nag-shoot kami sa kanila. Last year, yeah."
"Okay, back to your question. Wala pa akong naging boyfriend sa La Salle, eh. I've dated some, pero dein okay kasi parang panakip-butas lang sa dati kong guy. Tapos he's gay pala. Sobrang na-hurt ako."
"Hala."
"So yun... sige, dein din, Henrik. Trust me, magulo akong tao. I wouldn't want to hurt you or anyone."
"Ayun. Naisip ko lang. Salamat sa kasagutan. Manunumbalik na ako sa pagkapari."
"Pero di talaga halata. Grabe ka magtago."
"Ganun? I've always thought ako ang pinaka-obvious na tao. Well, in your case I never had a chance to express it. At least until the holy water came and it faded away. I only wrote one blog entry about it."
"Hindi talaga... pero Henrik, first impression ko, parang ikaw yung tipong nagkaka-crush sa marami, though."
"Naisip ko rin. Pero stick to one crush ako, eh."
"Wait lang. Basahin ko."
"Trust me. Hindi obvious yan."
"I give a damn about what you write! Galing mo nga, eh..."
"Mag-blush ba dapat ako?"
"Aww Henrik... something happened in the past ba? Don't dwell on it. Girls are different."
"Know what? I haven't pursued anyone. Hanggang sa mga sinusulat ko lang siya palagi."
"It's all right. Kasi... di mo sinasabi yata directly sa person na gusto mo siya, eh."
"Never have. And yet I increasingly feel that I have to. And I always decide not to. Ewan. Labo, ano? Inggit ako sa ibang guys. They like a girl, sige, try lang. Ako, parang, you should get this right."
"Oo nga, labo... pero alam mo, gusto ng girls yung honest boys. I mean, if you like her, tell her."
"It's only there where I'll never be honest. Look. It took me a year to tell you. A year, a running joke, a girlfriend... sometimes it passes and me saying it doesn't happen. It isn't worth it anymore."
"Awww... no regrets, okay? It's good that you told me, though. Di talaga halata."
"I told you because I knew there wouldn't be any regrets."
"Alam mo, halata ng girlfriend ko. Na may something."
