5. Watch Ocean's 12 and have dinner with The Prince's sister. (Scary!)

Actually, we watched Kung Fu Hustle. The line for Ocean's 12 was so long and if we waited, then we would've missed the beginning. So Sis asked me what else I wanted to watch and I said, Kung Fu Hustle, hehe. And they agreed. Nakakahiya...

In the movie house, Sis and I were sandwiched between The Prince and Sis' BF. During the movie, I was so afraid to laugh out loud with everybody else because Sis was so prim and proper. Yung tipong mga babae nung unang panahon na pag tumatawa may pamaypay pa sa bibig. Hehehehehe. The whole time, The Prince was giving me a nudge, telling me to stop acting so stiff and have fun. But I was scared to death. My palm was sweaty, mouth dry, and I couldn't say a word.

After the movie, Sis didn't seem to enjoy the movie. I figured she was thinking in her head, "kid stuff!" We walked a little around while trying to figure out where to have dinner. The Prince kept playing with me, putting his arm around me and tickling me just to make ease up a little.

Sis and The BF finally decided on a restaurant. I let them do the ordering but Sis kept asking me to order something. And of course, curry ang inorder ko. Hahahahaha. While waiting for the food...

"Do you plan to work in a callcenter long?"

HR, is that you?

"Ate!" The Prince interrupted before I could answer. "Interviewhin ba?"

"Hehe, ok lang noh!" I said smiling. "This is my first job naman..."

"Ah, I see..." Sabi ni Sis.

"Pero I might quit soon kasi my dad wants me to go back to school."

"School?" Singit si The BF. "Bakit? Di ka pa ba nagsasawa?"

The Prince, "Oo nga eh, ang sipag mag-aral niyan. Minsan nga pag nagpupunta ako sa bahay nila nag-aaral lang siya and nanonood nalang ako ng TV eh."

Nahiya naman ako, baka isipin nila I'm taking The Prince forgranted.

Sis, "Eh what's wrong with that naman?" she said finally smiling at me. (Well, di naman na the whole time di talaga siya nags-smile pero this was the first time I really saw the sincerity. Naks!) "At least may direction ang buhay niya."

"Hindi pa naman sure yun eh," pa-humble effect, "Sana makapasa muna sa Test..."

Chika chika pa about stuff. The BF was so funny and nice. Binubuko niya si The Prince sa mga kalokohan niya. And Sis was really warming up. When the food came, medyo tumahimik ulit kasi gutom na lahat. Then, eto nanaman si Sis.

"So never ka pa naman nahuli ng MMDA?"

I almost choked. Of all the things na pwede niyang itanong sakin tulad ng, "kelan ka magd-diet?" or "anong IQ mo?" or "anong plans mo in the future para mapasaya ng lubusan ang kapatid ko?" Bakit ayun pa?!

"Uhhhh..." I stammered. "Actually..."

"What does that have to do with anything naman?" Asked The BF.

"Eh kasi pinaguusapan niyo yung car niya eh," Sis said. "Curious lang..."

"Actually," I said. "Nahuli na ako ng MMDA..." (ng PNP, laguna police, cainta police etc."

"Lahat naman nahuli na for traffic violations eh," The Prince defended, holding my hand underneath the table. Aaaaw... Heart.

"Ako hindi!" Sis defended.

And I was shut down.

"Order pa tayo ng drinks!" The BF changed the topic. "Gaye, ano pang gusto mo? Green mango shake? Waiter..."

After I finished eating, I excused myself (naks!) and went to the restroom. While looking at myself in the mirror, feeling ko sobra akong napaka-loser and feeling ko while I left The Prince at the table pinagsasabihan na siya ni Sis to stay the hell away from me.

"Ate talaga, iniinterrogate si Gaye." I heard the Prince say while approaching the table.

"Bakit ba?" Sis said. "I'm just getting to know your girlfriend, masama ba?"

I rejoined the group. Chika chika ulit. Nagpapatawa nanaman si The BF and binubuko niya parin si Jay.

"Ay, diba you have to go to Megamall para bumili nung book nalang para sa friend mo?" Sabi ni Jay.

"Ay oo nga pala..."

"Anong book?" Tanong naman ni Sis. "You like to read ba?"

"Yeah, I do. Ikaw?"

"Oo, ako din," Sis said. "What kind of books do you read?"

"Kahit ano, actually depende sa mood ko," I said. "Right now gusto ko ng mga classics and mga books nung 60's and 70's."

"Ako din!!!" Sis said excitedly. "What's your favorite book?"

"Ay siyempre The Catcher in the Rye."

"Siyempre..." She said rolling her eyes na parang, lahat naman eh.

"Pero gusto ko din ng A Separate Peace," I said. "Para siyang mala-Dead Poets Society. Maganda siya."

"Ay, meron kang book?" She said excitedly.

"Yup, meron. Bibigay ko nalang kay Jay."

"Sige, sige..."

And the rest of the night became a talk of books that we have read, books that we want to read, good books, bad books. Books na disappointment. Books na shockers.

"You're sister was scary," I told The Prince when we he took me home. We were actually chatting with Hundun.

"Sus, hindi noh!" He took out his cellphone. (By the way, nanakawan siya ng phone, poor baby.) "Tignan mo kung ano tinext ni ate..."

"Ok c gaye. Tma ka. Umuwi k ng erly, papagalitan k nnmn ni dadi. Tel gaye we shud do it agen sum tym."

Waaaaaaaaah!!! I can't take it. I went through the dreaded dinner na sobrang tagal na pinaplano, and I survived.
