seriously, it's okay
i'll just message you again later

Wait
Nakwento na sakin ni Dolly yung premise
Nananadya ka ba ha HAHAHA

Hmm
May gagawin kasi ako
But I can talk
Call na lang
Is that okay?

i would prefer that, actually
may gagawin din ako eh

Okay sige
Wait lang HAHA

but i'm calling na ah

Today ; 4:24 PM

You started a voice call.

Today ; 5:56 PM

The call ended.

i didn't mean to make you cry HAHA

Then maybe don't tease me?
Di mo nga ako pinaiyak
Inasar mo naman ako 🥲

hey HAHAHA
i already said sorry

Oo na
Sige na
Sorry for having no ideas
For the tagline
Sabaw lang sobra
I haven't been sleeping lately

yeah, i know
i still see you online until 6 AM

Oo HAHAHA
Wala eh
Ginusto ko naman to

exactly
yet you still made time to help me
thanks a lot, pau 🩷
i mean it

You're welcome
Kahit na nang-intriga ka lang
At nang-asar 😠

it's not my fault you and dolly shared some things
di ko naman kayo pinilit HAHA

↳ paupau (carson era) replied to you
it's not my fault you and dolly shared some things
"Some" things?
May sinabi siya about sakin??
She said you asked for her help
But she didn't say you talked about me
Anong sabi sayo???

nothing haha
naka-relate daw siya sa premise
especially about the missed opportunities
and wrong timing

Anong wrong timing HAHA
Wait nga
Do you know something?

even if i do know something
i have to go already
may gagawin pa akong presentations
presentations plural 🩷
bye
and thanks again ☺️

April 15 ; 4:07 AM

i'm making an egg sandwich
do you want ba?

no, thank you
can't work while eating, remember?

hmm okay
i guess it's not going so well?
yung sa 5 pitches mo?

haha
how did you know?

you've been belting out taylor swift songs
kanina pa HAHAHA
mga 2 hours na

oh, shit
sorry
nagising ba kita?

medyo
but it's okay (:

i'm really sorry
di ko napansin eh
noise-cancelling headphones are doing their job
so yeah haha
i'm sorry 😬

babe, it's really okay
anyway
ayaw mo talaga?
ng egg sandwich??

nope
i'm still full from dinner
thanks for asking anyway

okaaay
since gising na rin naman ako
how can i help?

i honestly don't know
sinubukan ko na lahat haha
i already tried watching before trilogy
i read the sample chapters thrice
wala pa rin lol
wala akong maisip na tagline
isa lang naman need ko eh
it would be fine as long as it's
anchored to all 5 concepts

hmm okay
actually nakalabas na ko
paakyat na ako sa rooftop
but i can go back naman
let's talk about the book, yeah?

there's no need for that haha
i can manage

wala namang duda na kaya mo HAHA
pero baka lang mas mapabilis
if you have someone to talk to
and brainstorm with

okay, you're right
i'm in no position to reject your offer anyway
plus i woke you up
but stay there
have your sandwich on the rooftop
dito na lang tayo mag-discuss
it's more convenient this way

okay po hehe
nagprito nga pala ako ng 2 eggs
just in case you wanna eat

thanks
okay so uhm
i already told you about the plot, right?

yep
go on hehe

so the story begins with the breakup
basically, it's an inverted triangle
kind of haha
basta pabaligtad siya

hmm okay
so anong problema ng baby ko?

okay
i'm going to ignore that
because i don't know where to begin
you work with clients, right?

yep

you know how that's like
kailangan sundin yung gusto ng client

yes syempre HAHA
katawan nila yun eh

given na need silang sundin
but with me
i still have the management to think of
to be more specific
i still need to get approval of our head

ahhhh
magkaiba ba yung gusto ng head niyo?
sa gusto ng client?

well
nothing's official yet
kasi next week pa yung meeting with the author
pero si ma'am carla kasi haha
i ran my ideas by her earlier
she didn't like the one i based on the author's request

ha?
ang labo naman niya HAHA
she's your head, di ba?
dapat alam niyang client masusunod sa ganyan

i know, right?
anyway, the author wanted to lean into the angst
ayaw ni ma'am carla hahaha
gusto niyang romantic and warm yung vibe
the author wanted the opposite
sa angst daw kasi siya sumikat
angsty quotes daw yung nag-trend
so yeah haha
i don't know what to do

do you want my suggestion ba?

yes please

sundin mo yung gusto ng client hehe
to hell with your head
kasi kung ikaw ba tatanungin
kunwari may pinagawa kang design
tapos sobrang articulate and meticulous mo
pero hindi nasunod requests mo
matutuwa ka ba?

syempre hindi
but does that really apply to this situation?
i don't have the final say eh
kailangan ko pa ring mag-report kay ma'am carla

ipi-pitch mo pa naman yan, di ba?

yeah, of course

ayun na lang HAHA
si author na bahala
if they prefer your concept
and for sure magugustuhan yan
wala naman nang magagawa si ma'am carla mo

hmm okay
but if i were to follow the author's request
there's still one problem

yung tagline?

yeah haha
the tagline

hmmm
ano bang request ni author
about sa tagline?

gusto raw niyang mag-lean sa breakup
as the introduction of the story
which is hard
because he also wants it to be positive
ugh

bakit naman mahirap HAHA
you're good at this stuff
sabi mo pa nga di ba
kung di ka napunta sa advertising
baka nasa law ka

did you just imply that i'm a good liar?

HAHAHAHA
depende

sa?

kung compliment ba
or insult yung dating HAHA

hmm
i see it as a compliment

then yes HAHAHA
magaling ka magsinungaling eh
magaling ka ring mag-divert
so bakit ka nahihirapan haha

i don't know
i guess i just find it hard to see breakups
as something positive?
the protagonists broke up
because they were toxic together

ahhh
so individually
sobrang okay sila?

yeah haha
exactly like that
hmm
i guess that is positive itself?
yung okay sila individually??
i only read the summary
but because they broke up
they both achieved their dreams
separately nga lang

HAHA

what?

sabi sayo eh
you just needed someone to talk to

i still need a tagline, though
how do i express everything in one line haha
ugh

endings and beginnings, right?
hmm
nagsimula yung story sa breakup?

yep
uh
endings and beginnings
it literally began with the ending of a relationship

tapos dapat positive?

yes
well, the author said so
but besides that
the characters think the same way
for them, positive yung breakup eh
i mean despite the hurt
they found it easy to accept why it had to happen
so for them, it could have gone better
pero dahil ayun na nga yung nangyari
and they can't turn back time
it was the best way their story could have gone
fuck
okay HAHAHA
fuck

luh
bakit mo ko minumura? ):

wait
i'll be bakc

okay (?)
ahhh
creative epiphany?

yeah
wait lang

sige lang hehe
take your time po 😚

Today ; 4:46 AM

okay haha
i got it
are you ready?

kanina pa po
excited ka eh
na-excite din tuloy ako HAHA

"some of the best stories begin at the end"

uy

what haha

anong "what"
babe, it's good
really good
HAHAHAHA
9 words lang
pero pucha
ang galing mo
nakuha mo yung mga sinabi mo kanina
sorry *na-express

it's good, right?
di mo ko binobola??

HAHAHA
hindi ah
seryoso nga
ang galing lang
in 9 words na-express mo
yung hirap na hirap kang ipaliwanag kanina

hirap na hirap talaga?

HAHA
babe naman
you know what i mean

yeah haha
thanks 🩷

alam mo
to be honest, di ko alam dati yung effort
saka oras na nilalaan sa ganyan haha
sa taglines saka branding
especially taglines
because they're one liners
so parang sabi ko nun
isang line lang naman
so saglit lang siguro
mga wala pang 30 minutes
HAHAHA

i sincerely hope you have a point
because i haven't slept
i'm also hungry
baka kung ano magawa ko sayo pagbaba mo

may point ako promise HAHA

which is?

teka
wala na
nawala na HAHAHAHA

🙄

di ano haha
ano na lang
thank you for opening my eyes?
alam mo namang open ako sa new learnings everyday

really?
everytime we watch a documentary
tulog ka agad wala pang 30 minutes

HAHAHAHA
edi sorry
but you know what i mean
you get me, right?

of course
i'm just teasing haha

so ayun
thank you hehe

you're the one who helped me
ako dapat nagpapasalamat HAHA

no
i mean
hmm
paano ba?
you have no idea how much i learn from you everyday
so thank you for simply existing
ayun na lang haha

haha thank you
but thank you, too
for knowing what exactly i need
at the right moment

ha HAHAHAHA
lumamon nga lang ako ng egg sandwich dito

no, you did so much more than that
but you seem oblivious
so i'll just thank you for existing, too

huh

what?

gaya-gaya ka

???
ugh
why must you ruin a perfect moment?

so moment pala to?
*perfect moment pala
you ha 😳

doesn't matter anymore
you spoiled it

HAHAHAHA
pikon

no, i'm not?

yes kaya HAHA
anyway, if you're hungry
yung 2 fried eggs dyan
ubusin mo na if you want

you're not going to eat?

eh
busog na ako eh

nag-sandwich ka lang, di ba?

i'm talking to you
that's more than enough
busog na ko sa new learnings from you eh 😋

ewan ko sayo
sleep it off
you're not making sense anymore

HAHAHA
you, too
sleep ka na after, yeah?

yeah, thanks

welcome hehe

no, really
thank you 🩷
i'll just buy something nice for your birthday

tagal pa kaya HAHA
thanks na lang in advance
but also no thanks?
