"Coleen, look at this."

"Ano yan?"

"These are places in Hawaii. Look, ang gaganda diba?"

"Oo nga. And the beach! Wow!"

"Ang sarap siguro magbabad sa beach doon no? While watching the sunset."

"Sinabi mo pa. And this? Saan naman to?"

"That's in Alaska. Northern Lights!"

"Oh, wow. That looks amazing!"

"It is! It's seasonal though, best month to see it daw is November to December. Winter season. But you can still see it on summer. It's beautiful."

"Wow. Ang ganda sobra. I want to see it!"

"Me too!"

"Teka, ano yang sinusulat mo?"

"Our bucket list."

"Our? Who's with you?"

"Si RJ, syempre."

"Uyyyy...."

"Baliw!"

"Bakit naman si RJ? Akala ko ba close tayo? Akala ko ba ako paborito mong kapatid?"

"Hoy, ang arte mo ah. Si Kuya Nico kaya paborito ko!"

"Ang sakit, Menggay! Dahan-dahan naman! Teka, bakit nga si RJ?"

"Bestfriend ko si RJ, and bucket lists are done by bestfriends diba?"

"Mga pauso mo! Hindi kaya!"

"Bakit ba? Ako naman gumawa nito. I can choose who to do this with."

"And you choose RJ?"

"Always, Coleen. Always."

"Czarina, can I talk to you?"

"Of course. What's up?"

"I want to tell you something."

"About what?"

"About this little boy I met a few years back."

"Hmm.."

"There's this little boy, he was thin, and shy, and he doesn't really go out their house to play with other kids. Though he wanted to be a basketball player when he grows up, he can't seem to start fulfilling it because of his lack of self-confidence."
