Today ; 2:56 PM

are you done with your yoga class?
or are you sleeping again?

both HAHA
but i'm awake na
what it is, jackie?
bakit bigla kang nag-message HAHA

uhm okay
just a disclaimer
i'm planning to ask yor help
for something na work-related
kung di ka comfortable na tumulong
it's really okay
no hard feelings or anything

bakit naman ako magiging uncomfortable HAHA
i know how draining your workplace is
if anything
ang saya ko nga na magpapatulong ka???
sana next time sa draft na ng resignation letter
HAHAHAHA joke lang

ah, i wouldn't need help with that
HAHA i think i already wrote 3 drafts?

of???
ng resignation letter???

yeah HAHA
bakit gulat na gulat ka
you know how toxic it is

hmmm
i take it something happened?
pwede nating unahin yan
i promise i'll still help 😚

it's really nothing big
may inappropriate comment lang yung head namin

about saan?
saka paanong "inappropriate"??

hmm
she wanted 5 pitches for a new book
tomorrow deadline
sorry, *today pala dapat
i told her no because it was impossible
kakabigay lang niya ng deets eh
ni hindi ko pa nababasa yung e-mail niya

ohhh
tapos yung inappropriate comment
ay sinabi after mong humindi?

yep

can i ask kung anong comment??

sure, why not HAHA
she commented about me living with teo
she said i might be getting "rusty"
because i'm living with my boyfriend HAHA
basta ayun
may implication na baka distracted ako
dahil kay teo

what the fuck HAHA
report mo na kaya sa HR?
para di na umulit

eh haha
it's just a harmless comment

no, hindi kaya (?)
she basically shamed you
for living with your boyfriend
which doesn't make sense
kasi hello???
wala namang direct na implication yun sa buhay niya?
kahit sabihin nating totoo ngang distracted ka
dahil kay teo
she's still out of line
oh, wait
ano bang context?

that's pretty much it?
sinabi ko lang na di ko kaya magpasa today
kasi nga kakabigay lang niya ng details
then ayun HAHA

ugh boomers

she's a millennial, actually

okay
edi ugh millennials 🙄

anyway, will you still help me?
actually, sa pitch ako magpapatulong

naka-oo na ko di ba

HAHA yeah
i didn't force you to say yes, though

ugh okay
tutulungan kitang i-impress yang boss mo
because i do love you
okay so what's the book about?

okay HAHAHA
disclaimer lang ulit
i'm not inventing this or anything
ito talaga yung premise

jackie
ang dami mong disclaimer
HAHAHAHA
ano nga

it's young adult
but yeah, romance
medyo slice of life na rin
childhood friends yung characters
one moved away in high school
college, freshman year na sila ulit nag-reconnect

ahhhh
childhood friends to lovers ba to
na medyo enemies to lovers
until na-realize nilang childhood friends nila
yung isa't isa???

yep HAHA
exactly

well hmm
no offense meant
but this is pretty basic hehe
wala ka talagang maisip na idea?

besides the fact that the plot is common
and full of clichés
the story starts with a breakup

ahhh that's cool
so parang pabaligtad siya?

yes
prologue is their breakup
then slowly, the readers dive into their relationship
tapos papunta doon sa events leading to the breakup

honestly
bakit ako hinihingan mo ng input HAHA
pau is right there

i am asking him HAHA
i'm going to call him later
but you first
what do you think?

i think
sinadya mong tanungin ako
kasi alam mo yung about kay pau
yes or yes???

HAHAHAHA
yes

inamin mo talaga ah

eh HAHA
there's no point in denying
how are things with him, anyway?
halos araw-araw kang nasa kanila, right?

okay naman hehe
i'm fine
pero grabe ka naman sa araw-araw?
mga every other day lang naman
alam mo namang mahal na mahal ako ni tita
plus i'm helping him with his ppt

does he still not know?

na ano HAHAHA
na gusto ko siya buong college???
i don't plan on telling him
baka ma-guilty siya eh
kilala mo naman yun
baka ma-stress lang yun
na na-miss namin timing namin
kasi nung aamin na dapat ako
biglang sinabi niya
na work work work na siya after grad
and that he can't afford to be distracted
so yeah
i would rather die than tell him

hmm
right
you seem fine
mukha ngang okay ka

????
HAHAHAHA
fuck you, jackie 🥺

HAHA
and i love you, too
but going back

wow HAHAHA
ang galing ah
major in changing topics
were you anticipating that i'm about to ask
about you and teo?

yes HAHA
but really, what do you think about the book?
teaser video could be a montage

yeees
sasabihin ko pa lang HAHAHA
great minds think alike talaga
kumusta ba yung writing style?

jeric nam is the author
not his real name obviously
but the writing style is similar to f. c. javier's

ah HAHA
indie-ish no???
actually familiar na ako dyan kay jeric
i think kukunin namin dapat siya
kaso ayun nga
medyo similar sila ng writing style
the management noticed that
so di natuloy HAHA
anyway, kumusta ba overall vibe?

warm
that's why i thought a montage would be fitting
the problem, however
is that it's the simplest concept
ilang beses na namin yun nagawa eh

well true
pero kung yun naman hinihingi ng project
why not? 🤷🏻‍♀️
sabi nga nila di ba
clichés are overdone
precisely because they're proven effective

i know that
but i would really like something new
di ko nga lang alam kung ano lol

hmm
i vote for the montage
warm hues and palette
ay wait
may cover na ba?

yes
but it's not exactly warm HAHA
i think it's a scene from the book
kaya angsty yung dating niya
colors are also dark and neutral

ohhh
what if mag-lean ka na lang doon?
i wouldn't stray too much from the deets provided
kasi baka special or something yung scene

oh
hang on
i think i know what to do
i could make a transition
from warm to dark colors
but yeah, montages pa rin
with timelapses

yes yes
pwede yan
okay sooo
saan mo pa need ng input?

hmm
i need a tagline
or a quote

bakit di kayo kumuha sa mismong book?

ongoing pa raw revision eh

whaaat
di ba dapat nauna yan HAHA

you know how this works lol
they quickly offered him a contract
kasi sikat siya right now
and based on what you say
it looks like they signed him to compete with f. c. javier

hay
mukhang ganun na nga
anyway
i suck at taglines
bakit di mo tanungin si pau?

i'm calling him in a bit
pero ikaw?
can you think of anything right now?
kahit word lang ):

oh, wow
you're desperate HAHAHA

wala kasi talaga akong maisip lol

same???
pero uy
the tagline should come from the book
baka mamaya maganda maisip mo
then hindi ka i-credit
shittiest feeling in the world
i tell you HAHA

not really
you know me
i like working on the sidelines

huh okay
wala talaga akong maisip
tawagan mo na si pau HAHA
he might have some fresh ideas

okay okay
thank you so much for your time 🥺

i didn't really do much huhu
agree nga lang ako nang agree
your ideas are already okay na eh
you just needed an extra push

yeah, i know haha
i'm working on it naman na

ganda talaga ng influence sayo ni teo, no?

what?
where did that come from??

walaaa HAHA
dati kasi
you would've gotten uncomfortable
and awkward
allergic ka sa compliments eh

?
ngayon pa rin naman lol

true
but you're getting better?
just now
sabi mo sakin: "i know"
ibig sabihin agree ka sa compliment

okay
can we pause the analysis muna?

HAHAHA
sure
tawagan mo na si pau
he's still online
offline na yan mamaya
gagawa na raw siya ng lesson plan for next year eh

already???

yep HAHAHA
aayusin daw niya
kasi nga online class na

hay okay
bye for a bit
thanks again for bouncing ideas with me 🩷

anytime hehe
yoga tayo minsan
kahit online huhu
please?

no
my back already hurts everyday
ayoko nang lumala pa lol

hala???
