Suddenly It's Magic Page #2

But not before you embarrassed me.

- You embarrassed yourself!

- I had to defend my cupcakes.

Defend your cupcakes?

You know how funny that sounds?

It's funny to you

because it's not your name,

your job,

or your lifelong passion at stake.

I almost lost important

cu stom ers back Th ere...

becau se some arrogant

Korean tourist Th ou ght...

- Thai.

- Thai- Whatever!

- Thought my cupcakes were sad.

- But that's how it tasted!

Sad? It's not even a word

for how something tastes.

- It's not sad!

- You keep saying...

Because se Th ere's n oth in g wron g with Th em!

You know,

even if my life was falling apart,

at least there was one thing

I was sure of:

I can bake.

It's is the only thing I can do right

with my messed up life...

and then you're going

to call my cupcakes "sad"?

Sad?

Maybe they really are sad.

Maybe you can all taste

how miserable my life is.

Why am I telling you all of this anyway?

You can't even u n derstan d

a word of what I said.

Yes, but I can u n derstan d h ow you feel.

Graham! I just made another one!

What do you think, hon?

Oh. It's you.

H'he's not here, no one's

going to help us carry all this stuff.

Hey, sad cupcake girl.

You again?

What are you doing here?

He's the pervert

who insulted me yesterday.

Hi, I'm Marcus.

She said that you're a nuisance.

She didn't say that you're cute.

You're so handsome!

You don't look like a pervert.

My God!

If only I had breasts,

I'd let him grope me!

Why are you here?

I'm here because you owe me a cupcake.

She ate the cupcake I paid for.

You owe him!

I'm not going to give you another cupcake

just so you can call it sad! No!

How did you find me anyway?

I asked the girl at the hotel.

Where is Dan?

Adeng!

What a handsome guy!

Th an k you. You 're h an dsome too.

So you know how to speak Filipino?

Just a little.

Who's coming with us?

I can't. Sorry.

I can help you.

You're kidding, right?

Come here!

What did your mom say?

If God closes a door because of gout,

he opens a gate...

so that the tourist can come in

to help us carry the cake!

Hold on.

- Do you have gout?

- No, no gout.

Come here! Ah, no gout.

Please help us.

So you owe me more than a cupcake now.

So, when did you get

into the cake business?

I've been doing this since I was a kid.

My mom put up the shop.

And what about your dad,

what does he do?

How about you, Marcus?

What do you do?

Well, I'm thinking of quitting my job.

That's why I went on a vacation.

When will your vacation end?

- In two days.

- Why so short?

I have to really go back

because I will be in big trouble.

But if I decide to quit,

this will be the first place

I'll come back to.

Sam! Careful! Th e cake!

Are you really worried about the cake?

Or your heart?

. Sam! stop in

' sorry!

Now what?

You get to watch Joey make magic happen.

What you should do is press and push.

Press and push. Press and push.

So beautiful!

- What did you say?

- What did you say?

- Nothing.

- Nothing

Are you hurt?

Did you hurt yourself?

Why are you looking at me like that?

Nothing. I just... I envy you.

Because se?

You're not only good at your job,

you actually love it.

My mom taught me that there's no point

in doing something if you don't love it...

or you're not doing it for love.

I'm guessing you hate your job.

What do you do anyway?

Josephine?

I heard you made the cake.

It's beautiful.

Thank you.

Dad, let's go.

Nice to see you again.

Who's that?

Th e govern or.

This one doesn't taste so sad.

- But it's still sad?

- A little.

I don't owe you a cupcake anymore, okay?

No, I'll help you.

But you still owe me for saving your life

and helping you out today.

What? This is already too much.

And because I helped you out today,

I was not able to do what I wanted to do.

And what was that?

Go see the sights.

Look around. Have fun.

My friend Jinggay says there's always

a fiesta here in the Philippines.

I want to go to the fiesta

and you're coming with me.

- No, I'm not.

- Yes, you're coming with me.

I can't. Just take someone else.

'Old!

. Boring!

- Ex-con vict!

- Same same.

See, you're the only one that's not old,

not boring, not an ex-con.

And... same same.

And that makes you

the perfect tour guide.

No. No. No. Sorry, no.

Girl, don't play hard-to-get.

- I'm not!

- What's pakipot"?

Please, spend a day with me.

Yes, yes, yes!

She'll spend the day with you.

This is called Kalesa Festival.

We have it every year.

' Really

. Yes!

Lots of horses.

Do you have it in Thailand?

- No, we don't.

- You want to ride?

Yes, of course!

Thanks.

Taste it!

Is it good? More!

WOW!

Come! Dance!

- No.

- Join us!

I want to try that.

Go, Marcus!

Go, Marcus! Go!

Are you okay?

Are you hurt? Your shoulder!

Thank you for today.

Thank you for taking me here.

So you tie your dream

to the balloon and then?

You release it to the universe.

And the universe

makes your dream come true.

The last time I did it with my dad,

my dream came true.

What was that dream?

To become a superhero.

Do you still have the same dream?

Are you ready?

On e, two, three!

Do you really believe that the universe

will make your dream come true?

Of course.

Don't you wish everyday

could be like this?

Like this?

Uncomplicated.

Happy

Perfect.

If every day were like this,

then this day would be just another day.

This day would mean less.

I stopped liking fairytales

and happy endings a long time ago.

But you, you're make me believe

in them again.

In every Philippine town,

there is a church at the center.

Almost everything we do begins

and ends with a prayer.

How do you Pray?

I talk to God.

I tell Him what's in my heart

even if I know that he already knows it.

In the end, I know that He will always

give me what is best for me.

Your church is so beautiful,

even if it's very old.

We also have very old temples

in Thailand.

Some are even older than this church.

When you go there,

I will bring you to my favorite temple.

- When I go there?

- Yeah!

You're sure I'll be able

to go there, huh?

Yes.

One day, when you go to Thailand,

I'll bring you

to all the nice places there.

And we're going to have a perfect day

just like this one.

Com e, let's pray.

They say every time you visit a church

forth e first time,

God grants your prayer.

Your God will grant my prayers

even though I'm a Buddhist?

I believe there's only one God.

We are all one.

What are you praying for?

I pray that God gets your balloon

and that he makes your dream come true.

Huh?

What did you say?

It's between me and God.

Hello!

Jinggay, what can I do

to make a Filipina fall in love with me?

. Are you crazy?

' What?!

- It's not going to work, Marcus!

- Why?

I'm going to run out of English!

I can barely speak Thai!

What are you saying?

See? We're different from each other.

You know?

No, I don't know.

Just tell me what I can do...

Shut up!

It's not a good thing.

You're my boss and I still want to live.
