Good morning, baby.

Amie, will you marry me?

Not like that.

Okay.

Will you marry me?

- Good morning, Mom. - Good morning.

You're up early.

Has your date replied yet?

I think he's ignoring me.

He don't even show up in my dreams.

This is why I keep asking you for a grandchild.

So I have someone to keep me company.

Mom, leave that to me.

Be patient.

You know me, I want everything to be well planned out.

To be sure.

Am I right?

Hang on. Looks like you're leaving early.

You see…

This is the day that I promised Dad.

I'm so glad, son.

But your dad is gone.

Don't hug me too tightly or you'll wrinkle my shirt.

Don't worry. Dad's giving us a hand,

and he's watching over us for sure.

Besides, you'll always have me and Amie.

Thank you, son. I love you so much.

I love you, Mom.

I love you, too.

I'll go ahead, mom.

Be safe.

Yes, mom.

All right.

Bye, Mom!

Bye!

Bye, Dad!

Mommy Tere!

Oh, Sam.

You startled me.

How are you?

Just cooking.

Mommy Tere.

I brought something for you.

A special treat.

You've always been a sweet one.

- Oh, double patty. - Open it.

That's reserved for special occasions, isn't it?

You know me so well.

What do you think? Do I look good, mom?

Babe.

What's up?

You're here early.

Good morning, babe.

By the way, I'll come fetch you after your photoshoot.

The boss is having a party, and he's requiring us to bring a partner.

But it's not till tonight.

Really?

Sure. I also wanted to tell you something.

What is it?

It can wait.

It's not that important.

Ah, okay.

That was a long drive.

Why does the place look empty?

I wanted to tell you something before everyone else arrives.

Look.

Two weeks ago, Dad told me something before he passed away.

To live my life to the fullest.

Marry the girl I love and enjoy every moment together.

So now, I will fulfill my promise to him.

Amie, will you marry me?

Say yes, Amie!

Yes!

Yes!

Yes!

She said yes, Auntie.

He's putting the ring on now, Auntie.

- Oh my God. - She said yes.

Auntie, you're breaking up.

Auntie, you're having a grandchild!

Oh my god!

There's something I want to tell you.

Hello, Auntie?

I haven't told him yet.

He kissed me before I could say anything.

It's up to you. Do you want to rot in the Philippines like your mother?

She had no ambitions for herself.

You'd be passing up a good opportunity here in Canada if you stay.

Do you think your boyfriend can give you a life of luxury?

I'll think about it, Auntie.

I'll just call you later.

I'll update you.

You're leaving?

Let me explain.

Explain?

You're making plans without me?

My aunt got me into a modeling agency.

In Canada.

I got accepted.

You have a modeling career here.

You're earning, Amie.

Besides, when we're married, I can provide for you.

And for our future children.

But I want to go after my dreams.

I still want to prove myself.

But you said yes to me earlier. Was that for nothing?

What about our wedding?

We can still get married.

Come with me to Canada.

Do you hear yourself?

What about my mom?

I can't just leave my mother.

Come on, Amie.

You know that. Dad just passed away.

Besides, that's not in my plans.

You know me, Amie. I don't rush into things unplanned.

Your aunt's getting into your head again.

This would even cross your mind, if you didn't talk to her.

It's not like that.

What do you mean?

Your Aunt Dalisay just doesn't like me.

Remember what happened at your granny's wake?

I was seated in front.

You know what she did? She asked me to leave.

She said, "Could you step out? This is for family."

Damn it, Amie!

We've been together for years!

But I'm still not part of that family?

That's enough.

This isn't about my aunt anymore.

This is about my dream.

You know what your problem is?

You're too safe!

You are too emotional!

How can I tell you my plans when you get like this?

There are so many more things I want to do with my life.

But I can't do any of them because you keep stopping me.

Because you think it's not safe!

That I'm just impulsive!

You're too easy-going.

Should I just surrender everything to you, including my life?

Did you ever ask for my opinion?

I want to see more of the world.

I still want to discover the opportunities waiting for me.

Wow.

You want to see the world without me.

Yes.

Even without you.

Let's forget about your plans.

After all, you never gave me a say in them.

Did you ever stop to ask what I wanted?

You never did.

Go do them yourself since they're all about what you want.

What now? What are we going to do?

My son hasn't left his room in almost a week.

What do we do now?

He's ignoring me, too, Auntie.

I've been calling him several times.

What if--

Sam's already dead?

Hey! Don't say that!

What the heck are you saying?

That's our friend, you lunatic!

You forgot to feed your one brain cell.

But you know what,

we can't discount the possibility that…

Sam must be dead!

Aunt Tessa…

Never say that again.

Never-- Promise you'll never say that!

Oh, son.

Why are you all here?

Let's go get some drinks.

Drinks?

Are you going to leave me, too?

Toto, Bambam, what the hell?

Yeah, yeah, let's do it.

Auntie? We're game.

Sam! Sam! For the snacks, I'd like some--

Sam lives!

Ugh, my back.

Well, you've been on and off for years.

I'm sure you guys will make up.

Problem is, she's leaving for Canada.

You've got nothing on Canadians.

In particular, Canadian sausages are large.

Shut the hell up, Toto. What are you even saying?

Whatever. You'll get through this, Sam.

Whatever you're going through right now, it'll pass.

To be honest,

I know plenty of our friends who got left behind and they survived.

What you need to prepare for, buddy, are the five stages of grief.

I want to hear this.

You're really smart.

Who knew we were seatmates on row four in grade school?

Row four? You were on row eight, idiot.

Was that row eight? Who was the fat one next to me then?

Careful.

First things first, denial.

This is the stage where it's hard to accept what's going on.
