100 Songs for Stella (100 Awit Para Kay Stella)

Idiot.

But you are one of the most valuable employees of AdvertisCom.

So actually the most valuable.

But the company refuses to address my grievance.

Send a memo telling them not to mind your stuttering.

So, the company really won't do anything?

Is that really the reason, Fidel?

You even used to join in the teasing.

You're more sensitive now because of that.

Eyes, tired.

Brain, beaten.

Go home, house.

Eat, sleep.

Awake, get up.

Breathe.

Attack.

Over and over again.

Yaya Mildred!

That's Fidel, my son!

Let him in, please!

Please come in, sir.

- Yaya, is that him? - Yes, ma'am.

Fidel! My son!

Grant! Aliyah! Fidel's here!

Come on, Aliyah, it's your brother Fidel.

I spoke with your Uncle Bob.

You can stay here for as long as you like.

So you won't be alone anymore.

Unless you have a girlfriend or a live-in partner?

You weren't at Papa's wake and funeral?

Because your dad's relatives would only gossip about me.

Okay, hear me out.

Just the two of us.

Yaya Mildred!

- Yes? - Fidel's dinner, please!

Why make him sleep here?

He's an idiot when he speaks.

It can't be in Aliyah's room.

What about my stream?

Okay, what if he stays here with us?

Where will you put him up, in my room?

Hey, Grant, Fidel's your older brother, okay?

Says the one who left her own son.

Grant just isn't used to sharing his room,

but I'm sure in time you'll be okay together.

I'll just go home, Ma. I don't want to be a burden.

No, you're not.

Why did you

leave me back then, Ma?

I only left your dad. Not you.

Because the life he gave me wasn't the one he promised.

I was part of that life, wasn't I?

Are you disappointed that this is all I am?

Son, no. Son, it's not like that.

It isn't like that!

I always have to prove something to all of you.

You all exhaust me.

Yes, I'll be there in about ten to fifteen minutes.

- The line's long. - Okay.

Yeah.

- Hello? - Sis.

You didn't buy it.

My credit card got declined. I couldn't buy it.

- Please find a way, okay? - Alright.

Yeah, okay.

Just a sec, okay?

Boss, congrats, looks like everyone's enjoying themselves.

We actually have just a few attendees. We'll barely earn anything.

At least we got the food and drinks at a discount, right?

We just need good word-of-mouth

so that more people will join our all-singles events.

Guys, did you see Clyde Pelayo?

He already registered online and even paid, but I can't seem to find him.

Maybe he didn't show up.

What a waste, he's even a cutie.

Let it be.

It's his loss for not showing up.

Are you Clyde?

Clyde Pelayo?

Do you know me?

No.

I saw your photo inside.

There's really nothing to gain here…

You registered for our event, right? Why didn't you come in?

I'm just not in the mood.

What a waste of your payment.

Just let it be.

I'm the one at a loss, not you guys.

If you still want to join, you're welcome, okay?

In case you didn't know,

I'm also an upcoming singer.

I have two songs I want you to hear.

That's the one I'll choose as my launching single.

Why me?

- I'm not an expert. - Come on, please.

It's a bit noisy here. You want to go over there?

The second one, let me hear it.

Song number one, "How Have You Been?"

I stumbled by the bench we used to meet at

Your name, still carved, untouched on it

Time has passed and slipped away

Yet your memory still remains

And should our paths cross once again

I'll probably just say hi and then…

How have you been?

I'm hoping your heart Has found the joy it was yearning

How have you been?

Do you still sometimes Think of me as well?

How have you been?

Perhaps a lot has changed since then?

But if you ask me Nothing much has changed

Through all the time That slipped from view

It has always been and still you

And should our paths cross one more time

I'll probably just say hi and then…

How have you been?

I'm hoping your heart Has found the joy it was yearning

How have you been?

Do you still sometimes Think of me as well?

How have you been?

Which do you think will be a hit?

I can't answer that question.

But what I can tell you is which song was catchier.

I found the first one kind of lame.

The other one is better.

The second one?

Who wrote that? You?

Yes. Me.

It's been a year since singer-songwriter Clyde Pelayo launched his debut single.

It has finally become certified platinum.

I can't believe it. I just keep writing songs.

Based on how I feel inside.

Whatever the public wants,

well, thank you so much.

I hope they continue to support my upcoming songs as well.

You're mostly making love songs. So how about your love life? How is it?

Well, I'm single right now.

But there's someone I like. Not from showbiz.

I'll let you know when we're together.

Oh, so you have someone you like.

Stop teasing me about that.

Aya, how many attendees do we have?

Wait, weren't they 23 yesterday?

Well, here it is.

It spiked after Clyde posted our poster on his "my day".

Maybe people think he's our surprise guest.

The venue's capacity is only 30.

Should we do two batches?

But our overhead will double.

Ro, look for a bigger venue.

And, Aya, email our attendees that we're changing location.

And here it is, the most awaited speed dating segment.

How about a round of applause?

Remember, only three minutes per round, okay?

And when you hear the magical bell,

that's the cue for the boys to move to the next table.

- Is that clear? - Yes!

Then,

Hey, Ro, thanks. Even if it was super last minute…

Our venue looks great, perfect.

That's what we do in RainStar.

That's right.

Everyone who registered arrived except this one.

Junjie Santisima?

Oh, that's Clyde.

Clyde?

As in Clyde? He's coming?

Oh, my gosh, he's really courting you, isn't he?

No. He's just promoting a new song.

You don't like him?

Well, whatever his agenda is, I'll support him.

It boosts our sales anyway.

Oh, there he is.

He just parked.

Do you want to go meet him?

Oh! Of course!

Ro, let's go!

I hope I'm not disrupting your gathering.

I'm single too, so I thought I'd join you.

I just got here and you already want me to sing.

Come on!

Okay.

If it's okay with your organizer.

Where is that person?

There.

Ms. Stella?

Is it okay if I sing?

Tonight is a very special night for me because this is going to be the first time

that I'll be performing my new song for the public.

Thank you. And to make this night even more special,

I'd like to sing to someone in front of me.

So I can really feel it.

Ms. Stella…

Would that be you?

Sis, that's you!

That's you!

Ms. Stella!

Sis, go on.

This wasn't part of our deal.

Okay.
