Each woman has her own unique dream

Whoever she is from whatever origin there is

that one dream that she wants to achieve

Doris what are you doing? Why did you put the curtain on your head!

That's dirty! Remove it now! You look like an idiot

Once upon a time just here in Manila there is girl named Teodora

But even with a threat of death she will never admit that her real name is Teodora

- Hi Doris - Hi Inaki! Have a good day

Doris is successful in her career

Not only is she hardworking she also gets along with her officemates

- Doris wanna hit the gym later - Spinning or Pilates

Pilates

Doris' life is very simple. Work then homework

You know what Doris one of our neighbors has hernia

Apparently because he doesn't wear boxers

- Not boxers but supporter - Supporter?

- Yes! - What if it turns out like this?

What is that and how did it happen?

Doris wants a quiet life Everything in organized and in place

Is that when it's difficult to pee

- I think that's prostate cancer - Isn't that UTI?

But like what everyone knows life is not perfect

Doris your brother has another problem

You! You got expelled from school?

I wasn't expelled. I withdrew I don't want to take up nursing

What? At first you told me you wanted to take up computer engineering...

then you didn't like

Then you said physical therapy

I look so stupid spending on your tuition and books!

You think...

You have a future being a cheap rocker?

And everytime she feels down only one thing can give her peace and happiness

- Hi heart! - Hi sweet!

- What's up? - Just watching some DVD

- Which one? - It's the Aga-Regine movie

- Again? - Where are you?

- Walking to work

Hon, you're walking to work while we're talking

- Someone might mob your phone again. - Nah!

There's a lot of people here? So what? Tomorrow?

- Okay. Around six in the evening? - Okay I love you sweet!

I love you more!

- Miss you! - Miss you! Bye!

Doris feels that she has all the reasons to be happy

The only thing lacking is to marry the guy she will spend her whole life with

The time came when one by one all her best friends were getting married

Maricris is the most quiet sweetest and always poised among the group

She was also the first to get married

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit

I now pronounce you man and wife

Maricris got pregnant so she was the first to face the altar in the group

Look at that! Look at that!

Okay girls! Ready!

1, 2, 3

It's me! It's me!

It was not expected that the next person to walk down the aisle is Jane

Jane is the most outgoing in the group

She does what she wants and doesn't care about anything

I think Jane's drunk! Can you stop her?

Just let her

One day that crazy girl will just get raped

Then she'll come to her senses

But no matter how strong and aggressive Jane is things end up the same way

I wanna die! Oh my God! I wanna die!

It's your fault!

You didn't even find out if he's married and you just went on

I fell in love! Don't you understand that?

- You're stupid! - I hate men!

They're all bastards!

I swear! I swear to God and hope that tomorrow their balls fall off!

Hey! Don't say that!

But who can say what the future holds?

No one in the group ever predicted that the man who will marry Jane...

would be her doctor Steven her OB gynecologist

I wonder why Jane married her doctor

She said Its because she doesn't have anything to hide from her gynecologist

He's seen everything that other men target especially inside

That's good karma for Jane. He's a pretty nice guy

Just a little too horny

- Okay girls ready? - Ready!

Yes!

The only person in their circle who doesn't care much about men is Vicky

She says there are more important things...

to dream about other than being someone's wife

Mister please wash the plates already A lot of customers are already outside

You're so slow. Work faster!

The only thing she dreams about is to be rich

Not just rich, but filthy rich!

Nowadays you have to be practical

What you're just going to entrust your life to some guy?

Hello? What if he double-crosses you?

You can't just buy love in the grocery you know!

But really Vicky don't you feel sad and alone?

And let me remind you money can't buy everything

For Christ's sake! I have a solution when I'm unhappy!

I go to the mall buy a new bag and a pair of shoes

When I get home I'm happy!

And when asked who my true love is I will say Louis Vuitton! Hmph!

That's why it came as a big surprise to everyone when...

I now pronounce you man and wife

You may now kiss the bride

Vicky met her match

Does Vicky really love this guy

Maybe He's rich! He owns a building in Binondo

You know what they say Love is blind

All the single ladies the bride is about to throw the bouquet

Why don't you join?

- Forget it! - Come on!

- Let's give in to Vicky's request! - I said forget it!

- It doesn't come true anyway - Come on!

- No! - Come on! Come on!

Fine! I'll just go myself

May the best girl win!

Are you okay?

Me again!

Hang it there! There

How come I don't seem to be seeing much of Dodo?

Gotten rid of him?

He's just busy with work. Remember he works in a call center?

Come here. Let's talk

Honey, I just want you to know that your boyfriend Dodo is okay

He's decent respectful hardworking and has no vice

It's as if you're suddenly campaigning for Dodo

- How old are you? - 30

- This coming November how old will you be? - 31

Wait where is this conversation going?

You know what we women are different from men

Men even in their 70's their machines still work

But we're different!

Like what others would say we have an expiration date!

What's this ma battery or canned food

You seem to be talking about something serious

Nothing we're just talking about something

Okay

Hello babies! How are you today?

There! Look at your auntie Belen!

Such a pity She's the youngest daughter

She devoted her whole life taking care of your grandparent

When your grandma died she was left alone- wasn't able to marry

I don't want this curse to be passed on to you

How long have you been with Dodo?

Almost two years

Already two years and still he has not proposed

What the hell?

He's says he's not ready yet

He's still shouldering the education of his siblings

He promised his parents that he won't get married...

until all of them are done with school

- He's the eldest - How many are they?

- Seven - Seven?

- Yes - How old is the youngest?

- Grade three? - What?!

My God! Hey Lincoln! Lincoln can you give me coffee?

You know that's still a long time

You know what sweet I think by next month I'm going to be a Team Leader

- Really? - I'm gonna get a raise

My bosses are really impressed by my sales

Sweet? Are you okay?

- You seem to be so sleepy - Oh sorry!

I feel so tired I slept at eleven last night...

and woke up at quarter to five since I have a date with you

I'm sorry about our schedule sweet

It's okay I understand

You can't do that!

You're gonna get sick of Leukemia, Doray!

You work so hard the whole day you work when you get home

Then you wake up before five in the morning just to go on a date with your boyfriend?

What can I do?

That's when he's available since he started working in the call center

Why don't you just live in?

What? You want my mom to get mad? She's gonna get a heart attack!

That's another thing

You're so old already but you're still a virgin

- What are you saying? - My God!

Doris no one will believe that you're still a virgin

What's worse, you really still are one!

I don't think I can just ask him to marry me

What's wrong with that?

What? I'm a girl! Besides the initiative should come from him

That will only happen when his youngest sibling receives his diploma

What if he decides to take up medicine?

No way! He can't take up medicine!

He can just be a caregiver. At least that will only be for two years

You're so full of it!

No. I'm not! My values are just intact

Why? My partner and I live in one house but we're not married!

That's because with whatever religion no one has allowed to marry two men

You have a point

Excuse me Doris!

Dad's asking you to check if the documents from San Francisco have arrived

It's about marketing research and the new software

- Ah yeah! We already have it - Okay thanks

What are you doing? Why are you staring that way!

That's our boss' son! You can't lust over him

You know what he's cute

Just a little strong on the tacky side

It's probably delayed puberty and no sex life

- Hey! Stop it! - What if I hit on him?

No malice! Just charity. No hands! Promise

Hi Kids!

- Say hi to auntie - Hello!

It's a miracle that Dodo's here

- Yeah! It's his off from the call center... - Dude!

...that's why he came - How are you?

- Happy birthday! - Thank you!

- Happy birthday! - Come in!

Hey have you talked to Wanda? Is she coming?

I sent her a text but she's not replying

She actually called me but she seemed to be in a hurry...

although she said she's going to catch up

Okay

When she goes out of town she usually tells me

It's because we're the only ones constantly in touch since all you wives are busy

Honey (man speaks in Chinese)

(lady answers in Chinese)

- Vicky since when did you learn Chinese? - I studied it!

They keep speaking that language in Lincoln's house

For all I know my in-laws are cursing me already

Are we late?

No! Come join us!

Oh yeah guys this is Eric

Sorry Our flight from Bangkok was delayed

From the airport we actually went here straight

What did you do in Bangkok?

Say it

You were the one who wanted to keep it a secret

Eric and I went on our honeymoon in Bangkok

Huh?

Last Monday night we got married

Won't anyone say congratulations to us?

- Congratulations! - Hey thanks!

- Doris? Are you okay? - What happened?

Hey! You open this door! Don't get a nervous breakdown in there!

Leave me alone!

What do you mean leave you alone when you sound like a pig being slaughtered!

Please! Please leave me alone!!!

Why are you crying?

Has she gone out?

She doesn't want to. Still locked up- crying

Sweet? Sweet? Sweet? Why are you crying? Is anything hurting?

- Let me! - Okay you do it!

Doris? Are you okay?

What's happening to you?

What are you asking if something happened to me?

You were quiet then you disappeared

then you'll suddenly show up and you're married!

And then you're asking what's happening to me!

Shit! You're a traitor Wanda! Traitor!

You mean you didn't have an inkling that your friend already has a boyfriend?

None! That traitor!

She kept it a secret because she says I'd feel hurt I really am hurt!

Really hurt!

Can I ask you something?

- What? - Why are you hurt? Are you jealous?

It's unfair! It's just unfair!

Just think it's just the two of us in the group who are single...

and she just left me

It's because she was the first to found a man

What kind of a man is that?

He's the father of her student in pre-school who's a widower

Is that a man?

He still is. His machine's still working

What is your problem? Don't you have a boyfriend?

Enough! That's enough!

You know what that's really pathetic what you're doing.

Look at me!

- I don't want - Look!

You know there are different kinds of men

Like your boyfriend he's like a car with messed-up battery

You need to push it to work

So what will I do? Get him hitched?

You're idea is so 70's

- I don't want to look cheap - Doris you have to choose

You want to be a symbol of the Filipina who will grow old alone

while talking to plants like your auntie?

Or would you rather be a wife nursing her three babies

while being a member of Alabang country club? You choose

Why don't you try chewing that? You might choke

It's quarter to nine. I might be late for my shift

I need to be in the center fifteen minutes before my shift starts

What? How's that there's something really important that I need to tell you

Then say it. What is it?

You know what heart in the two years that we're together I'm really really happy

Same here sweet

You also know right that never ever not once

even a single as in never ever has a guy gotten me completely

Sweet what are you saying?

I just want you to know incase you don't know

Just like in medicines. I still have the safety seal

Okay?

Well it's just that nothing has still happened to us

Doris what is this? Are you filing a complaint?

No

It's not that I actually like it because you respect me

And?

I just want to tell you... don't get mad please

What? Why would I get mad?

I feel shy

Sweet why would you be shy? Don't you like trust me?

When will you marry me?

Don't be shy It's just the two of us

Huh?

Hey what's happening to you? Are you okay? Dodo are you okay?

- And then what happened? - There

What do you mean "there"? What did the guy say?

He said he'll think about it

What?

He said he'll think about it

What kind of an answer is that?

He couldn't think straight because he was choking

I almost rushed him to the hospital

Honey (Lincoln speaks Chinese)

Wait! Can't you see I'm on the phone? (Vicky speaks Chinese)

I gave you specific instructions to follow and you mess this up?

What is wrong with you boy? What is wrong?

Sorry daddy

Sorry? That's all you have to say? Sorry? You better shape up

Crazy girl! Are you still there?

So? What will I do?

Sis! Sis!

- What? I'm working? - You're boyfriend's here

Who? Dodo?

How many boyfriends do you have?

Hi!

Heart why don't you go in?

I won't take long here sweet

And besides I'm late for work so I asked the taxi to wait

You really like surprises

I want to tell you something

Have you thought about the answers to my questions?

Even though it hurts me sweet but I've thought about it...

- What? - I'm not the man for you

You deserve better

It's not your fault

I'm the one with shortcomings so it's much better if we go our own ways

Are you okay?

I'm sorry, okay?

I'll go ahead

I'm going to be late for my shift and I'm going to pay for a lot for the cab

Bye-bye then

Take care

Your diet!

- Whhhhyyyy?!?!?!?! - Isabel? What's that?

That's enough!

Even if you cry a lava nothing will change with what happened

Think of it this way Doris someone better is coming along your way

What someone better will come along are you saying?

Where is that someone better?

Remember when you close a door you can open a new window

What open window are you talking about?

Don't you understand? I was dumped by Dodo!

He's so mean!

Now is the time to move on

But Randy what will I do? I'm so tired!

What do you want to do? Lock yourself up?

Keep watching Aga-Regine until you develop a malignant cancer in your eyes?

- That's so exaggerated! - Really!

Randy! Tell me the truth

Why do I always mess it up with men? Am I ugly?

Am I ugly?

Randy tell me the truth! I won't feel bad

Just tell me the truth. Am I ugly?

You are not ugly

So I'm pretty?

Let's just say that your beauty is different

Why are men like that? They always leave me!

It's because you confuse them

Your traits are like those of a nun but your body is like a pornstar's

Isn't that confusing?

It's most likely that the curse of my family is already with me

I probably need to start taking care and sowing plants

You know what don't talk that way. It's not too late!

You're only 30

Others get married in their 50s

50? How will I have a child?

You still can

It's just that when you give birth it can be a mongoloid

What?

Bad joke but its true!

Mom why are you crying?

What happened?

Don't be surprised with what I'll tell you

My son is going to be a father!

Why did you get someone pregnant?

Paolo! I'm talking to you!

I did not do it on purpose

You didn't do it on purpose?

How's that? You were able to make a child while sleeping?

Who is that girl? Where did you meet her?

There! In a club where my band does gigs

Oh my God! How long have you known her? How long has she been your girlfriend?

She's not my girlfriend

She's not your girlfriend?

Then how can you have a child with her? How old is that girl?

32?

Paolo? That woman is even older than I am! And you're going to have a child with her?

She's okay

It's really different when you go out with someone who has a mature experience

Thank you!

Inaki! You're dad got mad at you again

I'm sorry for that

He's old and probably has a lot of things in mind

Okay? Hang in there

Doris thank you! I appreciate your kindness

I don't know!

When I see my brother who got someone pregnant

I feel I'm developing criminal tendencies

That's why come with Louie and I later

We're going to bring you back to civilization

If I go with you and your partner later where are you going to bring me?

- Just wait! - Sure?

You okay Doris?

Why are you like that?

- Why? What? - Look at that?

You're handsome you have great bodies but you don't want us women

You're making it difficult for us! I don't know with you guys!

Hey! What do you want to drink?

- Orange juice - Orange juice? You sure?

Yeah juice. Why?

A pretty girl like you deserves more than just Orange juice

I'll tell you what I'll mix a drink especially for you

It's called Gayuma. You okay with that?

Okay

There. Taste it

- Tell me if you like - Thank you!

- It's yummy! - See? Better than orange juice

- Can I ask you a question? - Yeah sure

- What's your name? - Hans

Are you gay?

Why? Do I look gay?

Well if you look around nowadays you can never tell

Just because I work in a gay bar doesn't mean I'm gay

- Is that right? Really? - Yeah

I don't think you like the drink I made for you

Satisfied?

- Satisfied! - One more?

Sure! One more!

Nice one!

Randy look at Doris, she seems to be having fun

I told you! She's also gay

Nice one!

Hey! You okay?

Yeah! I'm okay!

I'm okay!

Nice one!

What Teodora? Wait you met guy in a gay bar?

Yes! Vicky he's different!

My God Teodora! You're the one who's different!

So you dig gays now?

He's not gay! He's just working in a gay bar

And you believed him?

- Yes! - You know what Teodora...

all men say they're not gay

No one from them admitted it

What they always say is their bisexual...

even if the last woman they kissed is their grandma

Wait what is his job? Macho dancer?

We can never be too sure with macho dancers

Some are also gay

He's not a macho dancer

Bartender

Bartender? An "er"?

As in carpenter laborer examiner? Bartender?

Darling there's no budget there You'll be hungry

Unless you now want to be an alcoholic

No! He's from a rich family

Yes! He just came for a vacation to know his ancestors from Orani, Bataan

He fell in love with the Philippines and doesn't want to go back

And he's a college grad

Educated!

You know bartending is just a hobby

Wait I have a call!

Oh my God! Oh my God!

He really likes me. He's just not showing it

He just doesn't want to do PR last night

He wants to see me later

What again?

When you press the doorbell what are you thinking?

That people here are deaf?

Why are you mad again? And why are you dressed that way?

Why? What's the problem with it?

You can see almost everything with what you're wearing

You know what don't meddle with what I'm wearing

Why don't you find a job so you can buy milk for your coming child

You're a jerk!

He's here!

Handsome!

Hey hotstuff! How you doing?

I'm good fine. Thank you!

Sis you might want to introduce me to your friend

Ah yeah this is my baby brother Paolo

Hans, Paolo

- How's it going man? - Cool!

That's good man! So what? Let's go?

Ah okay! Wait wait! We're going to ride there?

Yeah why? Is there a problem?

- No no problem - Hop in!

Wait

Dude got to go!

Hey get back inside. They've been waiting for you

- You okay babe? - Yeah I'm okay

Okay. Hold on!

So nothing happened? Where'd you go?

Well let's just say that it was a different kind of experience

Unlike my ex-boyfriend who gets drunk with just half a bottle of beer...

this guy even experiments with alcohol

No matter how much alcohol he takes he just doesn't get drunk!

- And then? - Then we had a drinking session

That's it? That's it?

Well because

It was good!

So good!

Then? He didn't try to you know?

You know what you're beginning to sound like a perv

Tell me now or I'll pour hot coffee on you!

Playing Kim Chiu doesn't fit you. Hypocrite!

Well he brought me home

Hey! We're here

- Okay - Yeah

Okay

Sorry

- You okay? - Yeah I'm okay

The road's just bumpy

It was fun till it lasted

Thank you! I had a great time! It was fun!

Excuse me. It's dark I can't get the key in

I had a great time tonight

Please don't do that

Why? Is anything wrong?

- Not yet - What?

This is just our first date

Why? How many should there be?

My mom will get mad

But your mother isn't here

Maybe next time

You're a funny girl Doris

Thank you!

Okay goodnight Doris

What a waste!

Good morning! Off to work?

Stupid! You are so stupid!

- Why? - You know what?

If that guy doesn't go back to you don't you cry to me

Why? What did I do?

Inaki! What happened to you? Are you okay?

My laces were loose so I stepped on them

Just ignore them. Hurry! Let's go!

Eversince no call or text?

And you didn't call nor text?

I just feel it's improper. He might think I'm so into him

So why are you depressed now? Because the truth is...

You're right you're right! I am into him

Doris look at it this way if you're not meant to be then its not meant to be

If you truly love someone set him free. If he's the one for you...

Can you stop it with the quotes?

I really don't find it amusing anymore

It's not helping anymore. It's annoying

Why? He feels I'd die?

Just because he feels I'm not good enough for him?

Well sorry

I'm not like other girls who with just one call...

are willing to spread their legs open right away

Relax! Just relax!

Wanda if he doesn't like me I don't like him too!

Coz I am not a whore!

- Hey! Mom's calling you! - Don't you know how to knock?

You have six missed calls and twelve messages

Give me that!

Oh my God! He already had six missed calls I didn't even notice

Who?

Do you think it's bad not to return call when someone calls you?

He might think I'm rude right?

How come your hands are shaking?

Hey Hans!

There you go! Come in

Thank you

Okay. Have a seat first

Nice pad Hans

I'll just get us some drinks

You okay there?

Yeah I'm okay!

Okay

Here you go! This is for you!

- Thanks! - Cheers!

Cheers!

- Yes? - You okay?

I'm okay?

You?

I think it's a little too bright. It's painful to the eyes

Wait

Okay. No!

It's dark. I think it's too dark

That's okay

I thought we're going to talk?

Okay. Let's talk

Whatever you want to talk about

Okay

For starters tell me about yourself

About myself huh!

Please don't! No!!!

What again?

What are you doing? Why are you smothering me?

- You're acting as if I'm somekind of food - Why? What's the problem this time?

Hans I thought you want to get to know me?

- What are we doing? - Wait! Don't please!

You told me not on the first date

This is the second date!

I don't get what you want. You know what I'll just bring you home

- Huh? Wait! - Let's go!

Wait Hans! Wait!

Aren't we going to talk?

Nope. Let's go!

- Wait! - What is it this time?

What?

Is that what you really want?

What?

Okay! Game!

You did that Doris?

Wait! What kind of kiss was it?

If it's just a kiss on the cheek that's not counted

Wait was he a good kisser?

- With tongue? - What the hell?

Liar! Liar! Let's just be frank here

Don't be so girly. Admit it!

Are you... Are you a complete woman?

Come on!

Don't say you're not going to tell us everything

Whatever!

- Hans oh Hans! Your hands are everywhere! - Don't stop! You're so hot!

- Ouch! - Now what?

I can't breathe!

I don't understand!

We're having such a great time and... What's the problem?

Hans I'm not that kind of girl

Doris you're 30 years old. You're no longer a girl

Ouch! Rub it in some more why don't you!

I'm just thinking you're missing so much of your life okay?

- So come on! - What are you doing?

- Is that all you want from me? - Why do you think I'm doing this to you?

I just want to get to know you better

What you're doing you're doing a physical examination on me

- I'm gonna go home - Doris wait Doris!

- What? - Doris Doris please wait! Doris wait!

I told you from the very start it's very important and I value my... my...

What?

- I'm leaving - Fine!

- Hans! - What?

- I'm going home - Just go!

- I said I'm going home - Go! There are lots of cabs outside

How come your faces are like that?

Was what I did wrong?

Wanda? Was it wrong?

It is always good to be true to yourself!

How about you?

When you and your boyfriend weren't married yet did you give him everything?

Everything?

Wanda? Answer my question

You also didn't want to have sex until you and Eric were married

Uh...

You really are a traitor Wanda! You're a hypocrite

It's a good thing I'm finally over that guy!

I didn't even get anything from that

He's a scatterbrain and his life doesn't have any direction

Go ahead and say that so you can convince yourself...

that what you did was right. Go!

- Where are you going? - Louie and I have somewhere to go to

It's his mom's birthday. Bye!

Bye!

- Hi! - Hello!

Darn! How is this?

Is there a problem?

- Yeah! The car. It won't start! - You wanna hitch a ride?

- You picked-up a guy from the gym? - That's exaggerated!

I didn't pick him up

The battery of my car broke. The guy was nice enough to give me a ride

So now you're in-love again

Exaggerated again! I'm not in love

I just met him

He's so cute!

Wait! Going back to your story so he volunteered to take you home?

Not exactly

- Bye Sean! Thanks! - Have a good one!

Night!

Taxi!

You feel so giddy about it...

but he just left you at nine in the evening to get a cab

That's okay I understand

What makes you think that the guy is interested in you?

I just feel it

There's malice when he looks at me

The party was fun. Louie's mom was nice

He introduced me to his aunts and uncles It seemed that they accept us

Won't you break your bones by being such a girl?

Can't you be a little more subtle? You're drooling

Hi!

Hi! How are you?

Did you have a hard time getting a cab last night?

- Oh you're here - You know what I forgot to ask your name

- Doris. You're? - Sean

- So have you fixed your car? - Well not yet

It's in the car shop. Alternator's broken

Are you doing anything tonight after workout?

- Why? - Let's have dinner

Let me think about it

Okay I thought about it. Let's go!

- Good! - Alright!

You say he's cute? Six footer?

I really feel he's the one. As in!

Deep down inside me! It's really him!

He's the what?

He's going to be the father of the child I will bear

Um Doray you've only gone out twice and already you want him to fertilize you?

He's different. He's really different

Whatever!

The present economic social...

and political wellbeing of the Philippines is not that bad really

I've always believed in the importance of foreign relations...

especially the role of the Middle East...

and balance of power between the eastern and western hemispheres

Not to mention the implications of the growing economic power of Europe...

vis-a-vis the present political crisis in the U.S.

Because of the war against terror

He speaks English in such a classy way

His accent is different

Unlike my ex-boyfriend who just got his accent from his call center work

Wait what do you guys talk about that totally amazes you?

Truth is I don't understand

Do you foresee any major changes in the event...

that the Democrats regain the Whitehouse?

Yeah

Do you foresee any major changes in terms of policies...

regarding Europe and the Middle East?

Oh! Oh! I like that!

That's why I keep watching CNN and I keep buying Time magazine...

so we can understand each other

Asian hemisphere

You're reading Kishore Mahbubani?

Who's that?

He's the author of that book you're reading

Ah of course. You know I'm a wide reader like that

I didn't know you were into economics

Um well you know I have a lot of interests. It's just not obvious

So what do you think of his thesis about the effects of globalization...

and capitalism in developing countries?

- You read this book? - Yeah!

You understood it?

Yes I majored in economics in college

Wait wait wait!

Can you tell me about this book? Go!

You know the policies of capitalism are self- serving for the first world countries

This is the reason why the development of third-world countries is affected

That's why I really believe in Kishore Mahbubani

So you've read the works of Kishore Mahbubani?

Of course!

You know I do that before I sleep while in the bathroom you know

What about his ideas...

about reforming corporate structures of major companies in the east?

What can you say about it?

Why are you watching me?

I feel I'm in a circus

Where are you going tonight?

How come you're so dressed?

Auntie Belen. Mama Sean invited me to his friend's party

Of course I don't want to feel out of place with his friends

- I think your date is here - He's there?

Ma. Auntie Belen honest how do I look?

You look okay

- Wish me luck okay? - Good luck!

Goodnight! Thanks!

Hi Sean!

How come you're dressed that way?

Didn't you say we're going to the party of your friend?

- Exciting! - I told you it's a pool party

Yeah there's a swimming pool in the party

What I meant was we're going to a swimming party and cook out

- Oh! Okay okay! I'll change clothes - Nevermind

- No it'll be quick - I said nevermind

We're late as it is

We still have to drive all the way to Alabang

- Let's go! - That's far!

Let's go!

Weird!

- Hello! - Hi!

- You're Sean's friend aren't you? - Mmmhmmm...

They told me that Sean was with someone here tonight

And Sean told me you're the only person in this party who I don't know

I figured out that you must be the lucky girl

Yeah it's me

- Who are you? - Oh I'm sorry I'm Nadine

- And you are? - Doris

Mmm... Why are you here alone?

You're date really hasn't changed. Imagine he left you all by yourself

- It's okay I'm eating anyway - But it's not okay

- Come on. Join us - Wait

Sean why did you leave your friend all alone?

Where did you go? I've been looking all over for you

She was all alone here

You know Sean after all these years you haven't changed

The moment you see your friends you completely forget about your date

What's that? Talking from experience?

So you already met Nadine

Why? And what is wrong with that? I was just being nice to Doris

That's not the question, why are you being so nice to her?

Sean why don't you tell Doris who Nadine really is in your life

Wait wait! I'm confused. Can someone explain?

- Nadine is my ex - Ahhhh...

She was my girlfriend for three years

Correction 21/2 years

The last six months I did not give a shit about you

How are you doing there?

Are you drowning from all the Atenean accent?

I'm okay

How come you sound that way?

Doris? You still there?

Yes!

How come you sound so depressed? What did Sean do to you?

I can't take his friends! They just keep speaking in English

I'm having a nosebleed!

I feel so out of place I wanna go home but Alabang is so far from my house

You know what I don't understand you anymore

The other guy you got mad because he tried to kiss you

Now you're hysterical that he has not touched you?

What is it really?

That only means he's a true gentleman. He respects you

After that night did he call you?

No

- Hi Sean! How are you? - I'm good!

He got cold

He just might be busy

What will he be busy about in the gym?

Hi! Hello! Hi!

Enough! You look like a stalker Enough. Leave now!

Just look at it this way Doris If it's meant to be then maybe...

Hey! Stop it with the meant to be's

Why are men like that?

If you like them they're the ones who don't like you

But those you don't like they're the one's who are so into you

- Where is divine justice there? - Doris you're rushing it

You don't look for love. Let love look for you

You know what you're so annoying I'm gonna hit you with this plate

Just relax. Take it easy

I've accepted it Jane, Wanda that I'm not gonna find a guy

I've accepted that I will be alone in this life

I'll take care of cats dogs and hamsters

I'll probably learn to do cross stitch

And maybe crochet bedsheets tablecloth and curtains

I've accepted that I'll be the godmother of all your children

My only thrill in life will be cooking leche flan during Christmas season

I will also go on pilgrimage in Manaoag...

with ladies who's time was not too friendly to

- Hello? - Doris

Mama

Doris where are you? It's almost ten in the evening

Didn't auntie Belen tell you I called earlier to say I'll be home late?

I have a deadline for work tomorrow

Your auntie Belen probably forgot it again

She was in a rush to leave

The whole group picked her up They went to a wake

Wake? Why? Who died?

Their classmate. An old maid too

She had cancer of the ovaries

Isn't it that this illness is usually found in nuns and old maids?

You know this ovarian cancer it usually hits women with no husband

It's because when you don't use...

Yeah yeah I get the moral lesson of the story okay?

- Bye-bye! - Okay. Take care going home! Bye!

What are you doing?

I'm gonna get a heart attack because of you!

Do you want that? What are you doing here?

Dad asked me to revise something I made a mistake yesterday

What?

- I want... - What?

I want when he arrives tomorrow it's already fixed

He might get mad again

Hey! The more nervous you are the more you'll make mistakes

What's wrong with you?

You know if you don't believe in yourself how will others belive in you?

There

Doris are you hungry? I haven't had dinner

- My stomach hurts already - Really?

My edest brother is in his last year of corporate law in Harvard

My sister became a doctor

She's in Houston finishing her specialization in Neurology

Okay

Our youngest sister she's graduating in Berkely

She's graduating Magna Cum Laude

How about you? Didn't you graduate in the States too?

I'm not like my other siblings I didn't graduate with honors

Well so what?

I'm a disappointment to my family

I'm a joke

I can't blame my father if he hates me. Or my whole family for that matter

Are you okay? Why would they hate you?

Just because you're the smartest or you roll over money...

doesn't make you the greatest. Right?

Am I right or am I left?

I also know what others are saying about me

You're so paranoid

They laugh at me because he's always yelling at me in front of them right?

You're giving them reasons to laugh at you

Look at how you're dressed

- Why? Is it ugly? - Look at how you're dressed

You're always in white long-sleeves necktie and black pants

No different from those selling Bibles on the streets

- Why? What's wrong? - Come here

- Huh? - Come here! Hurry!

There

Wait! Don't move

One more

Wait. There

- See? - What did you see?

Didn't know you're handsome

- Yeah right! - No it's true!

Not because you're white. But really you have a fight!

- You'll pass - Thank you!

Give me a smile

Just mess your hair a little and don't frown

What? What do you want me to do? Can you repeat it?

What's so unbelievable about what I said? Didn't we talk about the help he needs?

My turn to ask. Why are you doing this?

Because he's nice and he needs help

- Good morning! - Hi!

So what are we going to do?

Where is he? How come he's not with you?

Louie was the one who went with him to the stylist

I had a meeting in Makati earlier

He's with Louie? Where'd they go?

Don't worry about my partner Inaki's not his type

He's faithful to me

OMG

Sorry we took long in Shane's parlor

There were a lot of clients. But it's worth the wait right?

Is this okay?

Yeah It works

Want me to slap you?

My God! You won't believe it!

I was stuck in heavy traffic on EDSA for thirty minutes!

There was a jeep and taxi collition

My gosh! I was stuck in Guadalupe for thirty minutes!

You get it? What's this?

- What do you think? - From whom?

What are you laughing at?

You're a big disappoinmment to me! Get out of my room!

I don't want to see your face! Get out!

How come boss is giving another priviledge speech?

You don't need to ask His favorite son got it again

Randy in the office now

Let's do this!

Inaki? You okay in there? Inaki? Inaki?

Is Inaki inside?

Yes Locked up inside a cubicle

- Crying - Crying?

Hey you can't go inside

- You're not allowed to - No its okay

Inaki? Inaki? Where are you? Inaki?

- Inaki? Where are you? - Please Doris I wanna be left alone.

Hey get out of there Let's talk

- Doris - If you don't go out I'll go inside

Stop it Listen to what I'll say

Are you listening?

If you allow other people to step on you You will really be a doormat

Those who who are treated lowly are those who allow it

Those who are joked around are those who want to be joked

People will treat you the way you want them to treat you

I already know that This is my father

Even then

How will your dad respect you when you don't even respect yourself

Go back there and face him

No I can't do that

Saying you cannot do is different from not wanting to

Tell your dad who seems to have a megaphone in his throat

how you feel and what you think

What? Are you going to face him or I still need to push you to get to him?

I don't think I can

What are you saying you can't? You can do it if you want to

Go!

Gooooooo!!!!!!

Revise this now! Understood?

Sir? May I speak with you?

I have already said what I need to tell you I am very busy!

No I need to speak with you now

- What did you just say? - You can't go on treating me this way

You embarrass me infront of people when I make mistakes

You yell at me to prove that you can control me even if I am your son

Or maybe because you're trying to prove to them something because I am your son

I will not accept that!

You cannot do this to me and you cannot do this to anybody

- Well you listen to me now - No this time you listen to me

I'm not done speaking so don't interrupt me

Not because you're the boss you can treat me this way

I want your respect not because I'm your son but because I earned it

So if you want me to respect you then you should start showing me respect too

Now is there anything else you want to say sir?

Thank you for hearing me out and thank you for your time

Yes! Way to go!

You know what I was aroused by him

I was aroused Why? What's wrong?

Well...

Are you okay?

I thought you were gonna get a heart attack

How'd I do there?

Yes Drink this

You were good I wanted to clap

Your voice was so big! Good!

I got weak

But I suddenly feel good Yeah it feels good

Really? I'm so happy for you!

I can't breathe!

Sorry sorry!

- Sorry sorry! - Why did you do that?

Sorry I got carried away

Well I'm not that kind of girl

I hate you!

- Doris I'm sorry! - I hate you!

How you were was a little overacting on the verge of being cheap

Don't you understand what I'm saying? Randy! He tried to kiss me!

So what?

- Doris don't you like Inaki? - Oh my God! Excuse me! Please!

- You know what you're full of it! - Why?

As if you have a 3-kilometer long of guys lining up for you

- Can you please do a reality check? - Well...

- I'm leaving - Okay

Doris wait

Inaki How are you?

I'm sorry if I offended you the last time

- I really didn't mean to - Inaki it's okay

You mean it's okay?

Yeah, it's okay Well its not totally okay

What the hell I'm getting so rattled wait! But it's okay okay?

- Okay - Okay

So is it okay to invite you after work?

Invite? Where?

I don't feel giddy

My hair doesn't stand when I see or smell him

I don't hear music or violins

Why is it like this? Whoever you're so into he doesn't like you

Whoever you're not into he's the one who will just chase you like a mad dog!

This is so unfair!

That's why

As I've always said you don't look for love let love look for you

Shit!

Come in!

Wow! You have a very nice home

It's a graduation gift from my dad

See? Then you say he doesn't have any affection for you

Doris all of us were given houses as soon as we finished college

- Really? - My siblings

were all given houses in the States

This is all I got okay?

Really? Well at least you got this than nothing

- You want something to drink? - Okay.

Okay wait

But you're right Doris

Right about what?

I can't be dependent on my dad my whole life

You have a point You're right about that

What's your plan?

My plan?

I'm going to resign from my dad's office

I don't want to work for any of my family's companies anymore

Where are you going?

Maybe what I want is to build my own trading company or business company

Really?

And I'm not going to ask for any kind of help from my dad

Wow! You're really good!

- You think? - Yes

You know what I'm happy when I see you're happy

I swear!

It's okay! Baby yes! Yummy!

It's also your first time?

Didn't I tell you? You never believed me

First time How about you?

- Was it your first time too? - Is it that obvious?

Not really

Was it okay?

Maybe?

So you mean you are now a complete woman?

Don't be too noisy It's embarrassing

There are a lot of people around

Darling you shouldn't be embarrassed

In fact you should even treat us to the noodle house!

Yeah! So what can you say after that significant human experience?

Well I didn't expect it was going to be that way

- It was good right? - Kinda

- Did you enjoy? - You are are such pervs

No really?

- Was it okay? - Hi Doris?

Hi!

- What happened to you? - Nothing why?

Why are you blushing?

I said why?

Stop playing with me Want me to slap you?

- Yes Inaki? Hello? - Doris? You busy later?

Not really Why?

Can I ask you out for dinner?

Why? Where are you?

Here behind you

You're sneaky!

Why did you bring me here when my birthday is still next week?

We don't go out that often right?

Well yeah

- Just enjoy it! - Okay!

Hold me I might fall

What's this?!

- It's very pretty - Let's go!

This is too much!

How much did you spend?

Didn't I tell you? I love giving you surprises

Thank you! Okay I'm really surprised

I hope you won't be surprised with what I will say

I know we still have to get to know more about each other

And with the times we spent together I'm sure you'll make me happy

So I thought that maybe it's about time I made myself clear

It's clear What's not?

Doris will you be my girlfriend?

What did you say?

I was shocked I panicked

- Then... - Just go straight to the point

What did you say after Inaki offered?

Inaki? Can I think about it?

- You don't like me? - No

It's nothing like that I just need to think about it

Crazy! I can't believe you!

You know if that guy leaves and would change his mind about you

don't go sniffing off tears on me okay?

Excuse me!

If he can't wait while I'm still thinkin' about it maybe he's not worth my love

What? What's with the look? What?

You really think you're so pretty!

You really think it? You feel you're so pretty!

No I don't

- Hi! - Sir

You think we'll make it by 3pm?

- Hey! - Yes sir

Yeah because it's very important to beat the deadline

- because the presentation's next week - Hello

- Okay sir - Thanks

Hi! Hello!

Can you blame him? Of course he felt bad

Yes Teodora you blew him off

I didn't blow him off

I said I'll think about it

Can't he understand English? I don't think they mean the same right?

Why are you practicing being hard-to-get on him?

Yeah I agree You know what I observed something in you

What? What is it?

If you were a chicken being boiled for soup

I think it will take a long time to boil you

So stop playing that you're hard-to-get because you ain't getting young

Stop it!

Wait Doris I have a question

- Just one - What is it?

I'm thinking after going to bed with this guy you sort of kinda like him too right?

Hey! Do you like him?

Yeah I do! But how come I don't get to hear music...

- Music? - Music?!

If you want to hear music then go get yourself an ipod!

Inaki you're here Can we talk for a while?

About what?

Stop acting that way It's as if you have bad feelings towards me

- Isn't it fair... - Doris

I understand I completely understand Doris

It's a good thing you understand because I don't

- You are a beautiful person Doris - Thanks

And I want you to be happy

If there's someone else who'd make you happier than me, why would I stop you?

You're getting it wrong

Maybe we can talk?

Please? Please? Come on!

When I said I was going to think about it

Its not because I was leading you on or I was keeping you hanging

because I was flirting with other men

I'm not like that you know

But if you think I'm not meant for you

I will understand

Stop it with the self-pity

I said I will think about it

Can't a girl think anymore?

Hey! Look who we have here!

- Hey! You're still alive! - Yeah

Well Inaki this is Hans Hans this is Inaki.
