May 2011

A week after Switchfoot's concert, minessage ni Jake si Emilie sa Facebook. She immediately accepted his friend request back in January. He couldn't believe it. For sure ang pangit na ng first impression niya sa babae, at ayaw niyang madagdagan ang listahan niya ng feeling close.
But he's super desperate. At si Emilie lang ang kilala niya na makakatulong sa kanya.
It took him five tries bago niya masend ang message niya. (He wasted two hours of his precious time for this.)

MESSAGE 1: Hi Emilie! Still remember me? I'm Jake
MESSAGE 2: Ms. de Guzman? Pwede ka ba makausap?
MESSAGE 3: Yo.
MESSAGE 4: Salamat pala sa pag-accept ng friend request! Hi nga pala sabi nina Miguel.
MESSAGE 5: Hey.

(He sounded like a fucking moron so he resorted to the simplest message he could muster)

Jake Banzuela: Emilie?

Emilie de Guzman: Shit sorry. I forgot to reply. Anong meron?

Jake Banzuela: Can I ask you something?

Emilie de Guzman: Okay?

Jake Banzuela: Uhmm..
                              Pwede ba kitang maging co-admin ng blog?

Replies four hours later..

Emilie de Guzman: Are you serious?

Jake Banzuela: Yeah

Emilie de Guzman: Oh. Wow.
                                    Seryoso ka nga
                                    But why me?

Jake Banzuela: Sus okay lang : )
                              Magiging busy kasi ako sa work next month. A big client so..
                              Hindi kasi ako makakanood ng concerts so...

Emilie de Guzman: So I'm your interim?

Jake Banzuela: Yeah. If that's okay.

Emilie de Guzman: Oh wow.
                                    Okay, I accept.

Jake Banzuela: Di nga???

Emilie de Guzman: Oo nga. Ayaw mo ba?

Jake Banzuela: Of course gusto! Thank you so much, Emilie!
                              Will email you the basics, okay?
                              Welcome to the team! Kahit wala namang team : )

Emilie de Guzman: Uhh.. thanks! No problem : )

Jake Banzuela: Teka.. last na.

Emilie de Guzman: ??

Jake Banzuela: Can I call you Ems?

Emilie de Guzman: Rule #1: NO UGLY NICKNAMES!!!!!!

(He's still a fucking moron, but it's worth it.)

Halos tatlong oras nakatulala si Emilie sa kisame ng dorm room niya. She couldn't believe it. Jake asked her to be Mad Music Junkie's interim admin. Matagal na niyang gustong mag-apply para maging contributor sa website kaso never naman itong nagpost ng admin search (she's partly thankful na never itong nagpost. Hindi niya kakayanin 'yon if ever. Nakakahiya). Pero ngayon opportunity na ang lumapit sa kanya. Si Jake na ang lumapit sa kanya. Unbelievable.
(Jake nga pala ang pangalan ni JJ. Lagi niyang nakakalimutan 'yon. For the longest time JJ ang tawag niya sa lalaki. So ngayon kailangan na niyang sanayin ang sarili na tawagin siyang Jake. Ugh.)
