- It was at Ateneo University. - No. Hotel Intercon.

- I should know better. - The story began in 1987.

'87? No, it was 1986.

'87!

- '86! - '87!

Call.

Come on! Hurry up!

I don't like this dress, I look like a frump.

You look just fine, now come on!

Please tell your friend Georgie I can't make it.

It's too late. Albert is on his way to meet you.

Jackie, please!

- Come on! You're late as it is! - Come with us, please!

You have to do this alone. Let's go!

- Jackie, Jackie! I don't want to! - Why are you forcing Diane?

- She wanted this. She agreed to do this. - Only because you made me to!

- Still, you said yes! - You forced me to!

- Well, you're still going! - Why are you doing this to Diane?

- She'll learn to be more confident. - What if I faint in the disco?

- Albert will take you to the hospital. - I don't want to go!

- Come on, you're late! - No! Ouch!

Move! Let's go!

- Jackie, I'm the eldest here! - So am I!

You're the youngest, so stay out of this! Go back upstairs.

Or you'll go home to Mother in Bulacan! Go!

Our president is now a woman who used to be just a housewife.

- Women are moving up these days! - Jackie! Jackie!

What's with you? It's just a blind date!

Jackie, I really can't go through with this.

You have to! It's the first step so you can make bolder decisions in your life.

- Let's go! Let's go! - Jackie! Jackie! Jackie!

Albert?

Yes.

Look, I'm so sorry. I'm really sorry.

I really cannot do this.

I can't breathe. I'm not used to do this. I feel guilty, you know.

Look, I know I said yes. I agreed to go on this blind date.

But, Georgie forced me to do this. She just really forced me.

- Georgie? - Georgie, your friend and Jackie's also.

Jack, Jackie my sister. Actually, she's my half-sister because...

She's my mother's daughter from her second husband.

My mother re-married after my father died of heart attack.

- Are you Diane? - Yeah?

I'm Albert! Albert Asprech.

- Love at first sight, right? - Talk about being romantic.

Talk about being cynical.

Well honestly, for me it was just a string of coincidences.

Hey, at least be open to the idea of fate.

They were destined to meet.

Like us, who can say that of all places we meet each other here.

Oh well, if you say so. Then what happened?

- End of story. - What?

- We'll be boarding soon. - Our flight's delayed for two hours.

Please...

This is important to me.

What else do you want to know?

Everything.

Go, Gelo! Go!

- Yes, yes, yes! Go! - Go ahead! Go ahead! Goal!

Good work, son! Good work!

Our kids are great!

Boo!

The other kids can easily outrun you.

Come on, darling. Relax.

You have to run fast. You have to be aggressive.

You won't get anyone unless you'll be aggressive.

I spend a fortune for your football lessons but you always lose.

- I'm so proud of my Gelo. - Even though we lost the game?

Of course! The important thing is that you gave it your best. Right?

Let's go?

- Mom, let's get something to eat. - Of course, sweetheart. Let's go.

Let's go! Nanny! Nanny!

Hi!

Hi!

- Your son? - Yes!

- Mom, let's go. - I really have to go. Sorry!

Sorry!

Hello! Hi, I'm so sorry I'm late.

I know I'm giving you such a bad impression by being late. But...

I'm not usually late, I came from my son's school.

And you know, the traffic. The traffic is just so terrible now.

This is for you. May I sit down?

This is for you.

I thought my co-facilitator would be here.

Anyway, hi! I'm Diane.

And I promise to make this short.

When we hear the word "training," the first thing that comes to mind is cost. Right?

But tell me, how many of you have actually really sat down to compute the cost of let's say...

the wasted hours employees spend gossiping or not doing anything,

belittling their jobs or griping about the company.

What then is the cost of a training program on team building compared to the cost of all that?

This is interesting.

Yeah! Yeah!

Okay! This is what our group does.

In a team building workshop, we talk about ourselves.

Because we believe that it is in getting to know ourselves better

that we're able to improve on relationships with our co-workers.

And of course improved relationships always lead to a more productive team.

Right?

Sometimes, management is focused on the bottom line.

They forget about the people who bring the money in.

- Excuse me! - Iced tea please, but without...

What are you doing here?

Me?

I'm meeting with them.

This way the employees develop as human beings as well.

Oh my god!

Oh my god! I am so sorry this is so...

Actually, it was quite interesting.

- Thank you! - As a matter of fact, it was.

- I'm sorry! - This is getting to be a habit.

I'm beginning to think that you're following me around.

Excuse me?

I'm really sorry!

I didn't mean it that way.

No, it's okay, really. It's okay.

Do you have a ride?

Of course!

It's over there.

You must be a daring driver!

- I'm sorry! - Because earlier...

Never mind.

Do you have a calling card?

Why?

- Well... - No...

You know Alex? My business partner? He said your proposal sounded interesting.

So, I was thinking, it might be good for my employees.

You have employees?

- What I mean is... - I have a small real estate business.

But yes, I do have employees.

Allow me.

Okay!

Thank you.

Thank you again.

So?

So...

Your card?

Ah! Calling card.

Sorry!

Hold on...

Sorry! My bag's a mess! Here...

There you go.

Okay!

Okay, so...

Nice meeting you again and see you!

Can we have dinner?

Dinner?

It's okay. I just had lunch.

Why don't we have dessert?

I'm still full.

Coffee or tea? Tea is good for digestion.

You know, you have a nice laugh.

It's contagious.

I really have to go. Nice meeting you again.

- Nice meeting you. - Thanks!

Albert...

Albert Simon.

Diane.

Nepomuceno.

Yeah! Of course.

Thanks again.

Good night!

Good night!

Sorry! Thanks again.

- Bye! - Bye!

She's always going off somewhere.

Louie, it's not her fault. Your driver didn't show up.

If she had been home, she could have done something.

Louie, I'm sorry! Grace called me late.

Get the luggage.

Excuse me. I'll do it.

Over here!

Louie, I came from an out-of-town seminar in Bulacan and I got stuck in traffic.

I'll see you.

Diane, I've got something for Gelo. I hope he likes it.

Thank you.

Louie, don't forget Cherie's party, okay?

- I just wanted to make sure that he's here. - Where else would I go?

Darling! Call me when I have to pick you up.

I'll call you when I've eaten my lunch and when I need to go to the toilet.

- There's an extra shirt there, okay? - Alright!

Bye! Bye!

She's so possessive! She guards me so closely.

I can't breathe!

That's because you're a lecherous jerk! A serial womanizer.

You're lucky to have a perfect wife.

It's like being married to my mother!

You're such a playboy.

Is it my fault that women fall for me? I'll see you later.

Sorry, I had to do something.

Yes.

Yes, I know Jack.

I should have gone back to the seminar.

Jo!

I owe it to the seminar participants as the facilitator.

Did you boil this?

- It's from the thermos. - No. He wants it freshly boiled.

Yes, Jack.

That's enough, Jack.
