"So! Tell me about yourself."

Third looked up to me with an amused smirk. "Job interview?"

"Jeez. I just want to know things about you. Kahit basic lang." I shrugged my shoulders, taking my time from down to up and then down again.

"I'm not fond of fast food," he nonchalantly said and took a big bite of the crispy chicken, before putting fries in his mouth and drinking coke from the large cup.

"Hmm, tell me about it."

He chortled. "It's true! This is the first time I eat again here after a long time. I just feel kinda excited with the taste." Then he munched again while winking at me.

"Even when you're in your college days? Hindi talaga? Uso kaya ang fast food sa students."

He stopped eating for a while to think. "I don't think so. Well, I did eat sometimes pero... sobrang often."

"Bakit naman?" I asked again.

"Bakit ba ang dami mong question? Let's be fair, I'm the one who's going to ask you now," he said instead.

"I'm the one who asked first, and I'm not yet done!" I put my elbow on the table to support my chin and placed it on my hands. "Tell me more!" I insisted.

He sighed as a sign of surrender. "Fine. But you know what? Ask different... not things like that."

"What are your hobbies? What are your favorite foods sa breakfast, lunch at dinner? Favorite movie, color, tapos...ahuh! Alam ko na! Where did you learn to sing? That... that's it!" I slightly clapped getting excited about his answer.

"You're being cute," he chuckled.

I'm still not used to hearing praise from him because I could be this awkward! Hindi ako sanay! But we're in a relationship now at base sa pagkakaalam ko, it's a usual thing to compliment each other. I shook my head. "Ah, just answer me!"

"Well, I want to answer all of those cause I feel like you'll ask it again if I didn't answer now."

"Go on!" I cheered. I really want to know things about him.

"For breakfast? Anything made out of dough with coffee. That'll do for me every morning."

Oohh.. so he's a coffee person pala. Very much unlike me! I'm a milk lover, remember?

"How about dinner? Lunch?"

"In lunch, I don't have a specific one. But on a week in States, I can do thrice of steak with cheese. On cuisine here... I guess Sinigang and Chop suey? I can eat them. Both dinner and lunch." He answered and continue his eating. I, on the other hand, was done!
