"what do you mean by fooling you? as in the girl you love is your current girlfriend?"
"yeah..."
"that depends on what kind of fooling she does..."
"para bang she's pretending she loves you but the truth is hindi ka naman niya talaga mahal, as in joke lang yun para sakanya"
"i'd broke off our relationship off agad..."
"what if you cant?"
"i'll let her fall inlove in with me, truly..."

"planning?"
"yeah, are you going to break up with her?"
"i think, kung kaya ko...."
"hmmm, kaya mo na yan eh, may pumipigil lang sayo"
"yeah, and yun ang dahil inlove parin ako sakanya"
"break up with her, find another woman that would make your heart beat faster than the way janella did"
"its not that easy, you know?"
"it is, you just haven't tried it yet..."
"let me guess, you've suffered too because of this stupid love... didnt you?"
"yeah... ata"

"yeah..."
"no offense pero, hindi ka naman ma brobroken hearted kung pinatawad mo sya nung natagal sya ng pagbalik sayo"
"those days that she wasnt by my side, is those days that i've suffered a lot, those days i've experienced a lot of bitter experiences in my life..."
"oh, sorry..."
"its ok, really wanted to share it... actually.. to someone who doesnt know anything about me"
