- Do you want to drink?

- Okay. I've been yakking here.

I'll just get dressed.

Come here.

- Wait. Wait!

- Hey.

- You're crossing the boundary!

- Come on. I haven't reached it yet.

Hey! Hey! What are you doing?!

That's land grabbing!

Call it land grabbing if you have a title

in your hand! Do you have a title?!

And if I show you that,

you might grab it!

Really? Grabbing?!

Have you mistaken my body to a map?!

Just close your eyes

so you'll feel relaxed.

If I'm going to close my eyes, Manny.

I will close it all!

Fine! Close your eyes! But your mouth as well!

Wait! You know what? I came here with you

because you told me "Let's have a drink,

I didn't realize that we're going to park here

and tum my own body as your snack!

I'm done with this!

I feel like I'm hanging from Jones Bridge!

I'm not that kind of girl.

- I'm not that kind of guy too!

- So what are you?!

This kind of guy who never gets

dumped by a kind of girl like you!

It's because you're too fast on irting,

scoring and hiding!

Especially running!

I witnessed that from the

department store, remember?

It's Yvonne!

- You know, that's called jealousy! Jealousy!

- Really?

The reason I'm hiding from her is

because she's the kind of girl you'll wink at

then would want you to go with her at the altar!

- So what's wrong with that?!

- Nothing!

But I think it's better if a guy

and girl get to know each other first.

Just like us!

That's why I like you.

Fine.

Forward, you go.

There's a new hotel opening soon

in Bora and guess what?!

Ate Jane got the contract

to provide the furniture.

Classy! Bora, huh.

But since it's ate Jane's 9th month now,

she'll send me instead to survey the place.

Jerry has an assignment there.

Maybe I could go with him.

So we'll meet there.

Fine. Don't invite me!

Me too. Just forget about me.

Come on, guys! Let's all go!

- Let's go!

- When is it?

Next week.

- I can't go.

- Me too. I can't.

I can't understand you, guys!

You're the one I can't

understand, Manny!

And who's the woman?!

- My mother.

- A**hole!

- And her?!

- My sister! What are you making a scene here?!

Mario, talk to her!

- Yvonne, Mario. Mario, Yvonne!

- Manuel!

I'm pregnant! Do you expect me

to be prim and proper?!

- Oh wait. Wait a minute.

- I knew it!

- Wait. Rina, wait!

- Don't follow me!

- Sit. Have a seat.

- Rina, wait!

- Wait! Wait! Please!

- I know what you're going to tell me!

So don't tell me what

you're going to tell me!

My God! It's already 2013

and yet I'm still so stupid!

Will you leave my alone, Manny!

Do you need a TRO?!

Don't be impulsive!

Don't be too hasty!

Nice! There's translation!

That girl is crazy!

She's getting out of her mind!

Why would you trust a woman's testimony

who has no credibility?!

Rina, I'm not into those kind of girls!

Please. Be reasonable.

Don't ever follow me to Bora!

Or else I'll bury you alive in the sand!

There are lots of

good restaurants out there!

There's Indian, Italian, Greek.

Have you tried the

gelato place in station one?

I know what you're doing!

You're starting a fake conversation!

You're caught, Manny!

You're guilty!

Why would you let a crazy woman

destroy our beautiful relationship?!

A relationship that we built,

raise, expanded, taken care o

In just a snap, all that are gone?!

Rina, please. Think about it!

You know what I think?

I think I will stop thinking now!

Goodbye!

Rina, wait!

- Miss.

- Good morning, sir!

- Is Ms. Rina Lazatin here?

- Rina Lazatin.

Maybe I can call her.

I'm sorry, sir, but she left an hour ago.

Do you know her room number?

I'm sorry, sir, but we don't give that

out without our guest's permission.

- Thank you, Ms. Lazatin.

- Thank you, sir. Thank you.

It's nice having business with you.

My sister will be very happy.

- It's been my pleasure.

- Thank you.

Hello, ate. Yes, they already

confirmed their order.

Yes. They want remodeled retro chairs.

Yes. They want that kind of look.

The hipster kind of thing.

Yes. Trendy, pretentious!

Yes! Yes! Yes!

Yes! They ordered a lot! I'm so happy!

Good morning!

- Hi!

- Greetings!

And welcome to Boracay.

Manuel Roxas, the playboy

who always gets a bull's eye!

Rina Lazatin, the girl who's a rock!

- The Philippines is so big!

- Nothing's big enough for true love!

- There's lots of girls out -

- As far as Aklan!

As far as Tawi-tawi, as far as Spratleys,

I will follow you if that's what it takes!

Why do you have to act like a pest

to a woman who doesn't have time for this?

So that's what love is called now?

- A pest?

- A pest because it's annoying!

Annoying because he can't get over.

He can't get over

because he got dumped.

Are you sure he's dumped?

I don't think we understand each other.

We will understand each other!

I don't have time.

Tune. Time is not what you need.

A chance. A chance to explain!

A chance for me!

A chance to show you that

what you see is just an image.

For press release.

Come on, ma'am. Give him a chance.

He speaks so beautifully!

He speaks beautifully

because he practices a lot.

Let's hold hands while walking in sunset.

- Jerry!

- Marian!

Jerry! Jerry!

- Marian! Marian!

- Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!

Ma --

Marian! Marian! Marian!

Wait. I'll take a picture of you, Marian.

There you go. There you go. Okay. Okay.

Okay-

Nice!

The truth is you're grudging over the fact

that nothing has happened between us yet

which you've been wanting

to brag about to your friends.

You have no bragging rights yet!

You're adamant that we should get back

together that's why you follow me around!

You know what? You're much clingier

than my own shadow!

I've been following you

because I've already fallen.

I've fallen.

It's hard when you're hanging in the middle.

That's why guys like me, we tend to

look around until we find somebody.

Because this kind of

situation is for lifetime.

The reason why we've been testing

until we find the one.

That's really nice.

What chapter is that?

The next chapter.

Picture!

Okay. Ready!

Here we go! Here we go!

Everything will be okay! I'm here!

Picture. Picture.

Jerry. I want that. Buy me one of those.

- How much is that?

-It's very cheap, sir. Buy some.

- Sir, can we take that seat at the far end?

- Yes.

Okay. Let's go.

This way, sir.

Let's sit here.

Okay-

Thank you.

Why a corner table? Are we hiding?

What?

No. I just want a quiet comer.

Let's talk about our work first.

Plus the fact that, I don't want to share

you to the whole of Boracay.

How sweet!

As for me, I want to show you

to the whole wide world!

Oh, no!

What?

I mean, let's talk about our work first.

Why don't we take a picture of you then your book's

artwork will be based upon your picture.

Do we have to talk about that now?

Why?

You're so handsome!

Why don't you have some Mojito first so that --

Waiter! Do you have an aircon somewhere?

It's so hot.

Thank you.

Jerry?

Nothing. I just saw something.

Where? What is it? You said,
