"Guys, we're taking off in a few minutes. Everyone please settle down na."
"Comfortable?"
"Yep. Ikaw bakit parang di ka mapakali?"
"Gusto kong kausapin yung pilot eh. Pwede kaya?"
"Ask Ms. Suki. Pero I think pwede naman."
"Ask me what?"
"Ayun, Suks, pwede namang kausapin yung pilot diba? I mean, after take off."
"I think so. Pwede siguro. We have to wait lang for the steward to tell us when it's ok to unbuckle na. Go ask now habang di pa nakaka-take off just to be sure."
"Okay. Good idea. Wait. Dei, I'll be back. Saglit lang."
"Go. I'm going to try and take a nap."
"Dei, we have another destination shoot in the coming month, I'll book you again ha?"
"Oh my god, sure! Ngayon pa lang yes na ang sagot ko."
"Hahaha good. We're taking the same team minus one. And since maganda na yung working rapport for this shoot, it just makes sense diba?"
"Minus one? If you don't mind me asking, si—"
"We're not booking Bitsy anymore. And I'll be having a long talk with her agency as soon as possible. Lahat halos ng delays ng shoot siya yung cause eh. Cara's alright. I think she knows she can't poach Jay anymore."
"Poach Jay? From?"
"My gosh. From you of course! Sino pa ba?"
"Sino pa ba ang alin? Pwede raw kausapin yung pilot later. So... what are you two talking about? Sino ang alin?"
"I was just telling Dei here about our next destination shoot and how I want to book her again. Anyway, she said yes so I'm happy. Paano, I'll get back to my seat na. Dei, I'll contact you next week for a pre-shoot meeting, okay?"
"Sure. No problem."
"Jay, don't chat up the pilot too much and leave Dei alone in her seat."
"Haha, I won't be long."
"Ladies and gentlemen, please fasten your seatbelts. We will be taking off in the next two minutes."

"Hey... tapos mo na kulitin yung pilot?"
"Yep. What were you thinking of just now?"
"Hmmm? A lot. Yung sunod sunod na gigs. Yung blog and Youtube channel ko na medyo napapabayaan ko na. Uhm... ano pa ba? I need to buy new curtains for my place... groceries too pero siguro pagbalik ko na from Osaka. I'm also planning what to bring, OOTD-wise. And if I can squeeze in a few— o bakit ka nakasimangot?"
"Ang haba na ng listahan mo, di ko pa naririnig pangalan ko."
"Hala siya. You want me to think of you when you're barely two feet away from me?"
"Bakit hindi?"
"Were you thinking of me while you were talking to the pilot?"
"Yes."
"Talaga ba? Anong connect ko sa pinag-uusapan niyo?"
"Naisip ko lang na ano kaya kung mag-flight school ako? Kaya kaya ng schedule ko? Kasi ang sarap siguro nung marunong akong mag-piloto para ako na magdadala sayo sa mga gusto mong puntahan. Yun."
"Awwww..."
"Tapos ikaw nauna pa yung groceries at kurtina kesa sakin."
"Would it make you feel any better if I told you na ikaw yung naisip kong isama sa pagpili ng curtains at pag-grocery?"
"Yan. Ganyan. Gusto ko yan."
"Hahaha grabe ka. Tapos na agad magtampo?"
"It's hard to stay mad at you."
"Question."
"Shoot."
"Kaya ba isa pa lang ang muntik mo na maging girlfriend eh dahil sa sobrang breezy mo, yung iba natatangay na ng hangin palayo bago mo pa mapormahan?"
"Pitikin ko kaya ilong mo?"
"Biro lang."
"Eh bakit ikaw hindi ka pa natatangay ng hangin palayo sakin?"
"There are some things worth holding on to... tightly."
"Kinilig ako shet."
"Obvious, sobra. Yung tenga mo o, kulay macopa na."
"Ah ganon ah... hali—"
"Everyone please stay buckled in, we're about to make our initial descent."
"Wag ka na daw magulo sabi nung flight steward!"
"Mamaya ka sakin."
