My Cactus Heart Page #4

---

from Sandy earlier.

Auntie! You ruined my surprise!

Sandy, stay here. I'll just get something.

Don't be too hard on Carlo.

This is the first time

he's made a move on a girl.

Auntie, he's not making the moves on me.

Don't be naive.

Actually, his moves are stale.

A lot of girls have a crush on him...

but he doesn't care.

I used to think he just didn't know

how to approach a girl.

Oh I'm sure he's a heart throb.

And he's so disciplined.

Always working, day and night.

Oh he just needs to.

If not, our house will be repossessed.

And that's the only thing his mom left them.

That's why he saves each peso he gets.

Hey Sandy!

Okay, I'll go ahead!

I have a hot date

waiting for me on the webcam!

Wow.

I noticed your pencils

were getting worn out.

Yeah.

Here.

I asked for some cash advance at work so

I can buy you some colored pencils.

That's sweet!

This is what I used

when I was in grade school...

Oh... is that for kids?

Yeah.

Alright, I'll just bring it back.

- No, it's alright. No, give it back. Just

- Oh!

- Sandy, it's alright.

I'll just return it. Sandy.

I told you to give it.

It's fine.

Oh, I also have a surprise for you.

Don't think you're the only one...

- What's that?

- Here.

Whoa!

I just did some revisions.

Sandy...

You know, this is the first time

someone did this for me.

Thank you!

- Uh - I need to...

- Huh?

I need to go home.

Wait a minute...

Sandy, can we go out some ti-

No. Don't finish your sentence.

I know exactly what you're gonna go.

Carlo, can't you see?

I'm a confused person!

I don't even know which course I want!

And my heart is like a cactus.

It's prickly...

And hurtful...

To people.

But what if I want to get hurt?

Huh?

Great timing.

Uh, just ask me tomorrow.

Okay.

Okay.

Sandy, the driver's seat

is on the other side.

I know.

I was just checking

if I hit the cat earlier.

Sandy, are you okay?

I can't describe

When I first met you

You're moving so slow!

The wind whispered to me

Telling me you're the one

My today, my tomorrow

And my forever with no end

My heart will never change

I hope the heavens hear

My one special wish

I never thought

That you'd ever be mine

Until the sun bums

- I'll only shout your name!

- Here, Miss Lorna Tolentino.

- Tommy!

- My heart will never change

Forever

I am at your service

The light to your night

- The star you wish upon

- Ma'am Sandy!

The heaven

Is my witness

It will never change

It will never change

My heart will never change.

It seems it's not enough

- Good morning, how are you?

- Like the soul of the stars

You come from the heavens

You fell into my life

Even if the rain pours

My feelings remain

- My heart will never change

- Sir. Water?

As long as I live

I am at your service

The light to your night

The star you wish upon... as the heavens

Are my witness

We'll be early tomorrow.

Sandy, you're in charge

of the grill station.

Make sure that everything

is prepared here tomorrow.

Joseph, I want you to be in charge

of the cold section.

Yes, chef!

You're in charge of the dessert station.

Yes chef.

Where are you going'?

- Miss Macalintal, it's your turn

to tidy up. - Yes?

Kale, tell your sister off.

- Yes sir. Miss Macalintal, you clean up.

- Okay, class dismissed.

You better help me with this.

It's already dismissal!

Sandy, it's so obvious that culinary arts

is not your passion!

Okay, I'm coming clean. I admit it, alright?

I'll start going to all the job interviews

at the animation studios, okay'?

- Sandy, we'll go ahead.

- Okay, take care!

That's awesome!

Bye!

You know Sandy, you're in the right track.

Do what makes you happy.

Follow your bliss!

Wait a minute, why are you suddenly

inviting for a movie?

Don't you have a shoot today?

VTRs, weddings, karaoke... funerals?

None. I'm a free bird today.

Well why don't you invite your editor

for a date. What's his name again?

Honey, he's over!

- Over?

- Yes.

That's it?

Of course. Why would you prolong

something that isn't there?

It's unfair.

Wait a minute, don't change the subject.

How about you and Carlo'? Confirmed?

Denied.

Really?

The waiters have been talking about you.

They know that you've been helping Carlo

with his lyrics.

And Carlo's cellphone load is being used

up calling and texting you everyday!

We're just friends.

Oh don't try to fool me with your just

friends answer.

That's not even accepted on Twitter now!

Sandy, just admit it.

There's nothing wrong with that.

Come on.

I don't like him.

And if I did,

we'd never get together anyway.

Alright?

No... as in no.

Well, it might be "no" for you.

But what about Carlo'?

There you go again.

You know,

if you keep watering your cactus heart...

its thorns get sharper and sharper.

Sandy, if you don't like Carlo.

Then tell him.

So we won't be expecting anything.

And he won't get hurt.

You know it's the right thing to do.

Come on, John Lloyd

is already waiting for us!

Sandy, let's go to the movies!

Miss Macalintal? Miss?

Miss Macalintal?

Miss Macalintal? I'm afraid Sir Benedict

is stuck at a meeting.

But you can leave your portfolio with us...

and we'll inform you

when he can interview you.

Let me take that.

Oh, alright.

Thank you!

Carlo:
Ma'am Sandy, I hope you can come

later. I'll wait for you.

Sorry Carlo, I'm busy today.

Maybe next time.

So... you avoided him?

Well, I got scared.

And it was perfect timing.

Benedict arrived, carrying a Frappuccino.

And I wasn't looking.

I get it. it's just like a romcom, right?

He arrived. You weren't looking.

You bumped into each other.

The Frappuccino spilled on your face!

Just like the bloodied pork!

See? It's destiny. Fate!

Miss, I'm sorry.

It's alright.

I'm used to it.

Excuse me.

That's what happened, right?

No.

This is what happened...

I'm sorry.

I almost spilled my chocolate on you.

That's alright. I'm used to it. Excuse me.

So what part did Bene play in your life?

Oh!

- Mr. Gotiaco, Sandy. My sister.

- Yes!

Benedict

Mr. Gotiaco, yes, Sir Benedict.

I applied at your office!

Yes, Miss Macalintal. But you haven't been

replying to my emails.

So I decided to come here personally.

Mr. Gotiaco, let's not discuss

anything here. Come, join us for lunch!

Oh yes. Let's discuss it over lunch.

Come, sit here.

Thank you.

A formal setting?

Is there a special occasion?

We have a formal catering event tomorrow.

The waiters are practicing for the event.

Sorry, man. I was just practicing.

So... Benedict, right?

Yes sir.

Impressive.

Animation...

Well, actually, the Philippines have been in

a subcontract...

with American and European animation.

But we don't have a

Filipino original style...

that's not influenced

by the Japanese or Disney.

When I looked at Sandy's art,

it was a combination.

Your daughter is very talented.

And I'm very happy she applied

at our company.

You're taking animation?

Well, that's what I really want.

Your daughter is really good!
