My sister, Anj, came running down the stairs.

"Ate!" She shouted. "Si Elmo ba yun? Bakit di mo pinapasok? Kasama nyo ba si ate Japs?"

"Woah woah woah! Slow down sistah!" I laughed.

"Oo, si Elmo yun. Di namen kasama si Julie." I added.

"Kayo lang dalawa?" Her eyes spoke in shock.

"Oo, bakit ba?"

"Hi ma" I kissed mom.

"Ayiee, si ate" Angie teased.

"Nag-Happy Lemon lang! Pinuntahan ko si Julie di'ba? Eh, hindi sya nakasama" I explained.

"Kahit na, si Elmo kaya yun!" she added.

"K. Fine" I said and went straight upstairs.

"Kinikilig na yung ate mo kaya umakyat na" I overheard mom told Anj.

The usual. I went online again. Facebook, twitter, tumblr, and my blogs.

"Moe isn't online, maybe he continued his sleep" I said to myself.

"Thanks Soulmate!" I tweeted without mentioning him. Then I went off.

Lying down, looking up, I was thinking.. "Something is special"

The next day, I called Julie up on the phone after I had my breakfast.

"Hey! What happened yesterday?" She asked with excitement.

Before I even replied, she added "Mama didn't really ask me to go home straight, echos lang yon"

"Ha? Adik ka! Bakit?"

"Eh, para kayo lang" She said.

"Well, thank you!" I told her.

"OMG. So what happened? Pa-suspense pa ba 'te?" She demanded. "Tell Me!"

"Okay! Okay!" And so I went on with the whole story.

"Eeeehh! Naks!" She said after hearing me out.

"Ikaw talaga, Julie!" I said. "Salamat ha! Thanks for introducing me to him"

"Pero pa'no JuliElmo? Baka magalit fans nyo sa'kin ha!" I added.

"Bakit? Friends lang naman kayo ah. Maraming non-showbiz friends si Moe. Alam na nila yown!" Julie replied.

"Oh, I hafta go now. PP in 2 hours. Hindi ka ba pupunta?" She added.

I sighed.

"Di na muna siguro, takot ako sa fans nyo eh" I joked.

"Hahaha! Loka ka! Osya, see you weekend ulit?" Julie asked.

"Sige sige. Ingat and goodluck!"

Up next: Julie Anne San Jose & Elmo Magalona

"Wherever you go, whatever you do

I will be right here waiting for you

Whatever it takes or how my heart breaks

I will be right here waiting for you.."

"JuliElmo! JuliElmo!" fans screamed. "Aahh!"

Julie and Elmo's prod is on. I'm watching with our tv set.

"Hey! You watched?" A BBM from Moe after their prod.

Should he ask that?

"Uh, yes! Awesome prod, Moe. As always☺ " I replied.

"HAHA. Thanks, thanks. BTW, you have plans Friday night?"

"Hmm. Wala naman, why?"

"Dinner. Racks @ Eastwood. My treat. Reserved na yon, bawal humindi :P"

"Uh, what time? Sige, magpapaalam ako. Kasama si Julie, right?"

"6pm. And oh yeah, please remind her."

"Sure. Okay" I said.

"Thanks!"

"No prob!" End of convo.

I immediately texted Julie. " Japs! Eastwood, RACKS @ 6pm. Moe asked me to remind you"

I received no reply. "Maybe she's busy, or something."

I spent the rest of the aftenoon on twitter, facebook, tumblr & thinking of what to blog.

"Ateeee!" My sister shouted.

"Dinner!" She added. I forgot about the time again. This always happen whenever I'm facing the internet.

"Coming!" I yelled back.

*Stomp stomp stomp!

"Tsinelas mo naman, ate!" My sister complained.

"I'm sorry. I feel so lazy" I replied.

"As always" she whisphered.

"I heard that" I said.

"Nga pala ate, tumawag si ate Japs."

"Oh, why didn't you call me?"

"Eh I thought you were sleeping!"

"Tss! Anong sabi?" I asked.

"See you daw sa Friday"

"Friday? San ka pupunta?" Mom butted in.

"Elmo invited Julie and me for dinner. Please ma?" I said with puppy dog eyes.

"Okay! Okay!" Mom said.

"Yay!"

"But, let them drive you home, 'kay?"

"Yes ma, drop me there?"

"Sure." She said.

I slept after I finished cleaning myself after washing the dishes.
