nakakatampo ka na talaga, miles ivan castellano! ba't hindi mo sinabi na may sakit ka?

Miles Ivan Castellano
are you fuming mad? ngayon ko lang ulit narinig (nabasa) full name ko from you.
anyway, hahaha i didn't want to bother you. akala ko kasi, ordinaryong sipon lang.

besides, i didn't want you to get more stressed out.

Naihm Lee Alvarado
still, you should've told me. para ka namang others! edi sana natulungan kita.

Miles Ivan Castellano

I swear, I'm getting worried na. is everything okay?

Miles Ivan Castellano

I'm starting to feel like something happened to you, and you're just ignoring my messages.

Miles Ivan Castellano

Miles Ivan Castellano

Naihm Lee Alvarado
miles? what's going on? bakit ka galit?

Miles Ivan Castellano
naihm, bakit ba? you've been ignoring me for hours! I was seriously freaking out na, tapos wala kang sinabi! I thought something happened to you

Naihm Lee Alvarado
what? sorry, sorry. I just got caught up with my research and forgot to check my phone. I didn't think you'd be this worried.

Miles Ivan Castellano
of course I'm worried! bakit naman hindi? you're always busy, but you can't just go silent without telling me anything. I was about to come to your place, I swear!

Naihm Lee Alvarado
huh? that's a bit too much! anyway, sorry. I didn't realize it would stress you out. promise, I won't do that again.

Miles Ivan Castellano
good. next time, you better text me kahit isang word lang para I know you're okay. kahit tuldok lang kapag magkaaway tayo.
and you forgot the date?

Naihm Lee Alvarado
WHAT?! OH MY GOSH, DID I FORGET?!!!

Miles Ivan Castellano
yes, nai! 

Naihm Lee Alvarado
I'm so sorry! I was literally so caught up with research, I didn't even realize!

Miles Ivan Castellano
that's why I was worried. I was thinking, "wow, she didn't even text me for our friendsary!"

Naihm Lee Alvarado
I swear, hindi ko sinasadya. I promise I'll make it up to you. 

Miles Ivan Castellano
yeah, you better. haha, and just don't do it again next time.

Naihm Lee Alvarado
thank you for understanding, kahit galit ka. babawi akooo! promise!
