your visa in three days

Thank you, sir

I got my visa already

What?

I got my visa already.

I'm going to America

- When?

- Next week

- When are you coming back?

- I'm not coming back

What?

I'm not coming back

I told you that I like to live there

You're not coming back?

How about us?

Us? Is there such a thing?

Why, there's none?

Why don't you go with me?

What will I do there?

Anything

What's wrong?

Nothing, dad

I'm okay

What are you doing here?

I'm going with you, anywhere

My life is boring without you

Excuse me

- Julia

- Sis

Oh my God

- Finally, you're here

- Sis, I'm here

This is Storm, my boyfriend

- Hi, Ciara

- Hi

- American food in American soil

- Sis, this is it

We don't have to wear mufflers...

and look like New Yorkers

while sweating so much

Yes

Do you remember when we made dad

look like a snowman when he got drunk?

Oh my gosh. Yes!

Then he got mad at me

Coz he said, I wouldn't do that

And you didn't defend me

- Sorry sis

- It's okay

Storm, sorry,

but I just missed my sister badly

- It's okay

- Sis, don't worry

I often tell him stories about you,

he knows you

Why?

Julia, where are you going?

Sis

You're still scared of thunder?

It's okay. I'm here

- Alright. Look here

- Sis, do you like

That's good

Look at that! There!

Babe, here

- You want some?

- No, I'm okay

This hasn't been fully paid yet...

but with a bit more hardwork,

we can own this house

Sis in my mind and in my heart,

this is fully paid already

- Thank you

- Anything for you

Storm, I'm so proud of my sister

- You are?

- I'm Julia Medina

You want to do a film with us?

Yes, I'm willing to try anything

Good.

You stand over there for us

Sure!

Show me your tits

What?

Show me your tits!

Take your clothes off, now

No, I'm sorry this is a mistake

Juls, you know the one

that I'm telling you...

that I applied you a job

They'll be sponsoring your visa

Actually, you're hired already

Coz your course fits the job

You'll teach English

as foreign language...

to immigrant students

who can't speak English

You're lucky.

It's a high paying job

- Thanks sis

- Sure

Wow Julia you got a job,

unlike me, I'm still a bum

Storm, I think I saw a job on-line

- I'll do it

- I think it fits you

Really?

Is it photography related?

Publications?

- These are great photos

- Thank you, sir

Do you have a work permit?

No, I don't. Sorry

It doesn't matter

We have a lot of Chinese...

Vietnamese,

Puerto Rican all illegal...

The Filipino is the best,

hard working and good natured

Yeah

- Sorry, sorry

- Where's Julia?

She left already

coz she needs to be early

Oh, really?

I heard you got a job?

Yes, and I'll be going now

Eat your breakfast first

- Coffee's fine

- You might get hungry

Just coffee?

Yes, it's hard to be late.

I don't want to get bad shot

Where is it?

There in Cerritos

That's just near

We can go together

- Wait, I know

- Okay

I'll make a sandwich for you

so you could eat it on your way...

you shouldn't be starved

Hold on

This should be okay now

Okay! Let's go

- Hey, watch it

- I'm sorry. First day of work

- Okay, good luck

- All right

I might just love America after all

Japanese poetry

had a major influence...

on a literatures of countries

around the world

From the early wakka

to the later haiku writings

The poet strokes for the utmost

unconsciousness and vividness...

by always linking emotions and ideas

to natural objects

- Yes?

- Sir, if I may?

I come from the Philippines and we

have what is called the Balagtasan...

which is actually a debate of thoughts

and sentiments but in poetic verse

And politically, the Balagtasan...

is actually a product

of Philippine society...

which is reacting against the actual

oppressive of liberation of oneself...

because of Americanization

Americanization?

Question

Is every girl from your country

is as cute as you?

I'm a photographer

Maybe in the Philippines?

But here, it's different

They can give you any kind of work,

we're not on their level

- Like what?

- Anything, like our salary

So if I were you, don't complain

if you don't want to lose your job

I don't care

This is not what we've agreed

In the Philippines,

they don't fool us like this

Storm, more work for you

Excuse me

I'm supposed to take pictures here

not process them

You can't do field work here.

You're an illegal alien

They smell rats like you.

A mile away

- What did you call me?

- A rat!

Oh, I'm sorry.

I mean, Filipino rat

You moron!

- Bro, bro relax and take it easy

- You're a dead man

Take it easy

Hey, Randy. Wait up!

- Hey, I'm Danny

- I'm Julia

I'm sorry about earlier.

I think I came on too strong

It's okay

Me and my friends

we're going out later...

maybe you can hang out with us

I really can't.

I actually have to go home

Go home?

Who are you going home to?

To my fianc

Oh, okay.

I'll see you around

- Okay, bye

- Bye!

- That's great! You're looking good

- Ciara?

Excuse me. Yes, Doc?

What if you want something...

but to get what you want,

you'll hurt someone...

do you follow your heart's desire?

Or you'll sacrifice so you could

do what you think is right?

Me, I will always choose

what is right

Even if you know that

it won't make you happy

Doing what is right

always makes me happy

Doc, what's important to me

is to have a clean conscience

That I'm not hurting anyone

or stepping onto someone

I will be teaching you how to read,

write and speak in English

Do you understand?

Comprende? Okay?

- Okay

- Okay, let us start then

English is the most widely

spoken language in world-

It's too scary here in LA

There's a riot in school last night

What?

Juls, I think we should find

another job for you

Sis, no it's okay

And besides according to our head,

the place is relatively safe

Safe?

What if I pick you up everyday?

Sis, what are you?

I'm here in America.

You don't have to worry

I'm a big girl now

Besides, if ever I need help,

Storm is just there

Storm, again

How about you, don't you want

someone to take care of you?

Why don't you have a boyfriend?

Why not?

Because you're always thinking

about me

Sis you should start

taking care of yourself

Make yourself hot

Look at me.

Wear shorts like this

Show some skin

- Stand up, come on

- Julia

Let's fold your shorts.

Put this down to show your cleavage

Sexy... show some skin, it works.

You've got to flaunt it

Julia, I don't need to do that

If a man will love me...

I don't have to flaunt my body.

Okay?

Sis, men don't see that generous

personality or that pure heart

The first few things

they see are cleavage...

skin, legs, that's what they want

Then that's the time

they'll like your good heart

- So you're an expert?

- Oh, yes!

Storm wouldn't be like that

if I hadn't exerted effort

Sorry, sorry

Sorry

- Doc

- Ciara

Ciara, this is Dina

- Dina, Ciara

- Hi, Ciara

- Hello, Ma'am

- Hi

My sister, Julia
