if you couldn't fix your life,

you become sarcastic.

You become cynical!

Why don't you show you're true

personality even once a week!

You might like it.

I might like it.

VVay to go. guys!

No need. I already found him.

Okay. Bye.

You're getting drunk? What's the problem?

- Nothing!

- You know what, don't drink. It's just the same.

It's a waste of money.

That's okay.

You'll be paying for it anyway.

That's it!

- So, what's the problem?

- I told you, I don't have a problem.

Say that again and I'll knock you out!

And when I knocked you out,

no one will recognize you even your mom.

You are too violent.

We've been friends since we were kids!

We even thought that either a girl or

a boy has a hanging meat!

So don't you dare hide anything

from me or else, I'll beat you up!

Now, look at me and answer!

What?

It's Rina.

What about Rina?

Answer or I'll hit you?!

She doesn't want to talk to me.

There you go!

Applause! Applause!

Finally, the number one playboy

of greater Manila area is in love.

Hey, I'm not in love with her, okay?

What are you saying that you're not in love?

Idiot!

Look at your face,

it's like typoon Ondoy and Maring passed by it!

Just say it, you're now in love!

Finally! You already found a match!

First of all, I'm not in love with Rina.

Second, when will you learn

to talk in short sentences?

It's because you don't even want to admit

that you are no longer a playboy!

That's why Rina still think you're

a playboy even when you've already changed.

You talk too much! Why don't you just

talk to Rina instead and fix my life?

Since you like giving lectures.

There you go! That's what I like about you!

Ask for my help! You idiot!

Tell me that you need me!

I need you

to talk to Rina for me.

Please!

That's my baby!

- Oh Jerry!

- Marian!

You're just in time!

Can you stay here with my friend, please!

Why? I thought we're going to watch

the last full show at the lMax?

Let's just wait for it on TV.

Because Manny here's messed up.

Why? Where are you going?

I just need to talk to someone.

Manny, Marian's here.

- Hello, Manny.

- Hi.

Stay with him. He's in love.

Give him some advice.

Anyway, you're the authority with those

topic, if he didn't listen, knock him out.

I have to go. I'll be right back. Bye.

Bye! Take care!

- You're in love?

- No.

Well, yes.

Make up you mind. Which is it?

Yes or no?

I'm sorry. I can't understand

English when I'm drunk.

You're in love?

Oh, I'm so happy!

It's my first time to see a

guy who cries because of love.

I think it's not on my research.

Go ahead. That's good. Just cry.

That's what love is!

There's happiness but

there's sadness as well.

You don't know how much I envy you.

Feels good, right?

In love!

There's nothing quite like it

in this whole wide world.

Go ahead. Cry. CW!

Where's your brother-in-law?

He's in Davao. Slacking off

with his wide hip!

It's your sister's first baby

and he's not here?!

He managed to deposit but

he don't have the courage to withdraw?

What about your parents?

My mom got nervous,

so Dad stayed with her.

Their nerves are all messed up!

Ate Jane's due was supposed

to be next month!

Ate Jane always makes the wrong timing.

Good thing, I'm always relaxed!

I think I made the wrong timing.

Why is that? How many months is that?

No. What I mean is...

I want to consult about something.

What is it?

- About Manny?! Oh please, goodbye!

- Wait! Wait!

Give my friend a chance!

Okay, I'm getting dizzy!

You just have to understand him.

I think he has given hand-outs to all those bums

in Quiapo just to have good karma!

A chance?! Every time I give your friend a chance,

I get into trouble!

I actually understand him.

The problem is he's the younger version

of Hugh Hefner from head to toe!

Even if you bang him into a wall,

he will never change!

- He's changed.

- According to him!

According to me!

- What has changed?!

- He's now behaved and a good boy!

Manny?! Manny has no concept of what is

morally good and what is morally wrong!

He'll leave even his own mom on an

electric chair once he saw a beautiful girl!

Why are you so angry?!

- I think you're in love!

- In love?! Me?!

Manny is my friend.

I know him better than my own palm!

I know what's with him

if he's having goose bumps,

why his nose widens

or why he's raising his eyebrow. I know!

He likes girls simply because -- Why?

He wants to give compliments

just like a real gentleman!

There's no bad meaning to that,

okay?

I feel like I already heard that

somewhere or read that somewhere!

He stopped being a player.

He's ready to be a one woman man!

It's hard to believe in miracles!

Especially at this age.

- Especially with Manny!

- But in Manny's case, it's true.

In the case of Manny, in your case,

it's wishful thinking!

You should wish to make him

wish he turn into a decent man!

- Ms. Lazatin?

- Yes!

The baby's in the nursery already.

Oh My! Where? Where's my niece?

There you are! So cute!

So cute just like her aunt!

Cute niece, cute aunt!

Smile baby! Picture! Oh, smile!

Take a picture of us. Take a picture of us!

Oh My. My niece is so cute!

Mother?!

I said take a picture of us!

Hi, baby. Smile! smile! Look at the camera.

Selfie with auntie!

Wait a minute! Wait a minute!

What are you doing?!

Cheers!

Kuya Manny, we've already drank too much.

You're not staying with me?

You'll leave me too?

My bottle will be empty soon!

Not a problem! Not a problem!

Okay. Let's have a deal.

If I get drunk,

get a hot water for me.

You'll be there for me.

You'll take care of me. Right?

- Okay, boss!

-Okay.

Cheers! Come on!

Get the door. It might be Jerry.

Wait, wait! Where are you going?

The door is there, open it!

Kuya Jerry might get mad at me

that I'm still awake.

Wait a minute. It's not Jerry, okay?

Go ahead. Go! Go!

Just to make sure!

It could be a robber.

Right. Cheers! For the robber!

Robber of dignity,

heart,

Robber of strength. Cheers!

Good evening!

Dennis, it's already late to play baseball.

Hello!

Welcome

to my home.

Hi, Manny! How are you?

Wait. Won't you greet me?

It's my birthday today!

Birthday?!

Happy happy happy happy birthday!

Thank you!

- And you're so sexy tonight!

- Oh, thank you!

Do you still celebrate your birthday?

Naughty naughty!

What do you think?

I'm not on the calendar anymore?

This is so heavy.

What's this?

You're having an early celebration?

Celebration? No!

I'm having a nine-day novena.

Huh? Why?

Because of my problem,

it's getting mossy.

I hate it!

Why is that?

Before, when I had a lot of girlfriends,

I'm not getting any problems.

Now that I only have one girlfriend,

it seems like a huge problem.

Who? Is it Rina?

No. It's nothing.

Nothing?

What does she think?

If she rejects me,

her slot will be vacant?

There's a lot of girls out there!

I can still find one!

She'll be the one to run aer me.

Dennis!

Dennis!

De - Dennis.
