A conversation with Manuel "Manix" Abrera over the phone.

Pao: Pare, busy ka?
Manix: Oo, pero ano yun?
Pao: Pano magpublish ng libro?
Manix: Ah. May material ka? Ilapit mo lang sa mga publishing house. Then saka nyo paguusapan kung pano mangyayari.
Pao: Ah.
Manix: Pero dapat tapos na. Yung ipprint na lang.
Pao: Amazing.
Manix: Oo.

Never have i thought that I'd push through with this plan. I'm working on it.

It's amazing how people still find time to go here in Mega Mall in spite of the recent Glorietta bombing last friday. As I munch this Scallop Dumplings from Pao-Tsin, I hear the breath of a sleeping bomb under us, waiting to be woken up.

Or maybe it is just the spirit of the three-day sale bugging me.
