Lolo Sente calling...
8:01am

Blaire
"Hi, Lolo!"

Lolo Sente
"Good Morning, Blaire.
You're at work?"

Blaire
"No po. On the way to school.
Until Thursday lang po intern."

Lolo Sente
"Oh. Are you driving? Are you driving
your old car? I told you let me buy you
a new one. Ikaw lang ang kilala ko
ayaw magpa-regalo ng sasakyan."

Blaire
"Lolo, no na po. It's still working.
And I don't use it naman po always.
I prefer to take a Grab din naman.
Today lang po kase I'll go out with
my friends po. Birthday po ng sister nya."

Lolo Sente
"Grab? It's not safe."

Blaire
"It is safe, Lolo."

Lolo Sente
"If you don't want me to buy you a car,
how about I lend you my car? With a driver."

Blaire
(Laughs)
"With a driver? Lolo, I can manage."

Lolo Sente
"You don't get anxious pag tumatawid
while driving?"

Blaire
"Um, hinde na po. And I like to use Grab naman din, Lolo. It is really safe. I always share to Kuya the number  of the car."

Lolo Sente
"Isa pa ang Kuya mo. Ayaw magpabili
sasakyan."

Blaire
"He has a new car.
And it's  a really cool car. "

Lolo Sente
"It is. He sent me a photo. Said he's coming
home soon. But anyway, Ija, called to remind you that it's your Tita Amanda's wedding anniversary with your Tito Glenn tomorrow. You want someone to fetch you? You have your dress?"

Blaire
"Oh. Uh, Lolo. I can't attend po.
I forgot to inform you din. I need to finish
some projects po for school. Later pa po evening e-email sa'men 'yung project and we need to pass it on Monday. I'll send my gift to them na lang po."

Lolo Sente
"Ah ganun ba."

Blaire
"Lolo, we can have our
lunch on Sunday. Is that ok?"

Lolo Sente
"Golf and lunch?"

Blaire
"I watch you play golf
then we eat lunch."

Lolo Sente
(Laughs)
"Fair enough. I'll invite a friend."

Blaire
"Sure, Lo! I got to go na po!"

Lolo Sente
"Sige, Iha. Be careful driving."

Blaire
"Will do! Love you, Lo.
Thank you for everything."

Lolo Sente,
"Love you, Ija."
