Better teach him early.

So he won't grow up a wuss.

Is that a philosophy in life?

Philosophy of the heart!

According to the Bible, fifth edition,

10% of the people train their brains.

But some of them don't have

proper training for their hearts.

Wow. That's really nice!

What chapter is that?

Heart and life act as one, right?

If your heart is stupid,

your life is zero!

For instance, my friend, Jerry.

He learned to wear shoes

when he was already in high school.

If your heart doesn't know how to love,

understand, forgive,

accept somebody's love for them,

All of it will go through experimentation,

training and exercise!

- Did you come here to exercise?

- Am I right or wrong?

How about you? To where are tuning in now?

To your heart or to your brain?

According to Alice in Wonderland,

fifty-fifth edition,

your brain is in your head to be followed.

Because if your heart is in your head,

you'll have a migraine everyday.

What if you like a guy,

which one beats more?

Your heart or your brain?

- My heart. But I'm still using my brain.

-But how?

For an instance, I like this guy who's not worth it

My brain will say stop!

But my heart will say go,go,go!

Your heart has reasons that your

brain couldn't understand.

Your brain has reasons

that's no longer a territory of your heart.

Whatever you feel in your brain,

can also be felt by your heart.

Life will be complicated if

you follow your brain over your heart.

Wrong priorities!

You know a lot of things, huh?

Hi!

Hi.

I'm just practicing, in case there's a target,

- Direct hit in an instant!

- By the way, this is my brother, Dennis.

Hi!

Kuya, I'll just go there.

Be careful.

Seems like it's too risky to go here,

I might tum into a target.

Don't you like it?

It's fine but, isn't it better if I'm the one

to decide, if I'll be a target or not?

Oh boys, You thought you're the ones

who'll shoot the target but no,

we are.

Just as I thought, why don't you teach me,

make it a fair game.

Sure.

Okay-

Hold it like this.

Which one?

The arrow.

- Then, stretch the --

- What?

The string.

Then, release and hit.

Where?

There! On the target.

Wait. I'm confused.

Go ahead!

Oh! Oh My!

Manny's a lot better!

Always a bull's eye!

Here. My concept is,

Clothes are like foods.

Food should be laid out in such a way

that you want to eat it.

Same thing for clothes,

it should be laid out in such a way

that you want to wear it. So here.

That's very interesting,

very alluring, and charming.

I'm talking about the layout.

So am I.

If only he's kuya Manny,

they're probably in the bedroom by now.

So, tell me about yourself.

Me? Not much.

I took fine ans,

one year in Italy, did observations,

and went back here. Then, my father forced me

to help him take charge of our pineapples in Silang.

But, I refused. I told him,

I want to have my own graphics studio.

So, I borrowed money from the bank, from my

relatives and friends. Manuel, my generous friend.

He would issue a check for me

even late at night,

I always resist to be an employee,

so I can be my own boss.

Here I am, thank God!

Financially ruined.

Same pattern as mine.

I studied here,

then, one year abroad.

Studied in New York then in Paris.

That's where I got all the sin in the world.

In Paris, I didn't do anything but

to party here, party there.

I can beat Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton,

combined.

And then, I got bored.

I went back here.

By that time, Aunt Cleotilde died.

She left me her fashion label

because I'm her favorite niece.

I couldn't do anything so I agreed.

Thank God, it's being neglected.

Manila is so boring!

So much talking, nothing's happening!

What are you cooking?

Boiled egg without egg yolk, skinless chicken,

fish without fats, shrimp.

Fck! Everything's tasteless!

Bro, I'm just concerned with your waistline.

I've noticed your tummy's getting bigger!

And there you are, with your perfect body

being mistaken as a 'bufa'!

'Bufa'? What's that?

A buffed gay (bakla in Tagalog), buffgay!

Oh, never mind! I'm upgrading you, bro.

We'll eat this everyday

until your six packs appear.

You know Jerry,

I'm praying every morning saying that,

Lord, thank you for making me handsome,

and not a shrimp like my gym mates.

What do you mean shrimp?

A shrimp, useless head,

a perfect body with an ugly face.

What about a beautiful face

with an unattractive body?

That's what we call lollipop.

You? What type of chick do you want?

A lollipop or a shrimp?

Lollipop! It tastes good!

Me too. How about you, Jerry?

Shrimp or lollipop?

- Lollipop.

-Why?

I'm allergic with shrimps.

What do you call a shrimp who covers her

face with too much make-up?

- I know that.

- What?

Tempura!

Jerry!

This is a new beginning for you.

I'll motivate you

and we'll never stop until you become me.

Would I like that?

You can do it! Go! Go! Go!

We'll never stop until

you're full of abs!

Well, kuya has full

of ebs (slang word for poop)!

Whatever! You're a fool of sh*t!

You know what, Jerry! You're such a waste!

You're a handsome man,

if you're facing the opposite direction.

Pray to the Lord that

you won't be such a wuss anymore!

How's your girlfriend?

The thin one?

Sylvia? She's not my girlfriend.

But she's not thin!

Isn't she thin enough for you?

I dare you, if it rains,

she won't get hit by the raindrops.

Well, yeah. There was a time when she's

facing askew, I thought she's a plywood.

Add sugar, and we already

have an otap (thin bread)!

One time, she faced side view and

went missing!

I'll make you eat this dumbbells!

That girl calls the house

a thousand times a day!

As if she had just got out

of the correctional.

Here's the catch,

I'll give you a week,

If you haven't gotten her still,

I'll take over!

I'm in!

- Hey!

- That child's better than you!

Your being a show-off!

Go there and do bench-press!

How about the Yogi Bear you've been wooing?

Still can't take off her chastity belt?

You're nothing, bro! You're obsolete!

Those G.R.O. in Burgos are

the only ones you can date!

Obsolete, you say?

Try this, ma'am, sir.

Excuse Miss. Miss,

is this for men or women?

For bisexual, ma'am, sir!

Is that so?!

Miss, don't you have anything for men,

for straight men?

Ma'am, sir, I'll just check.

Oh, sorry Mrs., I mean Miss!

I'm sorry. My brother has poor eyesight.

But, why is he wearing shades?

He was born like a bat, that's why

he's scared of the light!

Take that off! Now, you ran over Miss...

Marian David.

- Jerry lzon.

- Hello.

Dennis, say hello to Miss David.

Hello! How are you?

Excuse me.

Don't be too frisky, okay?

Looking for what?

Do you want to try something?

Well, this is an optical shop.

Why? Do you already have poor eyesight?

You're still young. Let me take a look.

No. I'm just checking out eyeglasses.

My eye grade has increased

because of my tiring work.

- You repair gadgets?

- No.

Are you a doctor?

Specialist in heart transplant?
