“Nadaanan ko na sya, actually papasok po ako ng seaside kasi ‘dun tlga ako mghahanp ng subject. Kaso paglampas ko kay kuya, ewan nakaramdam akong awa kasi wala talga sa kanya pumapansin despite his efforts sa pagabot ng neto sabay sabing ‘flowers for your girlfriend’ sobra malumanay yung boses,” he said.
Tumigil ako sa unahan mga ilang mins din den I decided na balikan sya. Sabi ko parang kelangan ko sya gawing subject. Parang may humatak ba sa kin to choose him that day. Ramdam ko kasi yung sincerity nya and eagerness to sell the flowers. Sobra naappreciate ko ‘yun. Kaya sabi ko kelangan to makita ng mga tao,” he said.
