When I Met You in Tokyo

My mother used to always say

that every person is born with a life partner.

Or our so-called "soulmate."

A person who shares half of our souls,

the one who is meant to be with us for life.

But it seems

the one destined for me has been terribly delayed.

Will you marry me?

Really?

Yes.

Yes.

Or maybe I'm really waiting for nothing.

Ouch!

Rude. He didn't even say sorry.

I don't know why,

but I've started to find love corny.

Love is so overrated.

It's a huge lie.

One big joke.

Being in a relationship...

is like kendo, fencing, or any form of martial arts.

It is a battle.

At first, it's exhilarating,

just two fools excited by the act of courtship.

But once you're familiar with each other,

that's when the true dynamics of the relationship begins.

If one cuts the other, the other one cuts back.

- You'll end up hurting each other. - Point!

In the end, only one will be victorious,

while the other ends up a big loser.

And most often...

that's me.

Thank you.

Today is your birthday! We have a surprise for you.

- What? - Surprise.

- We have a surprise. Come on. - What?

WHEN I MET YOU IN TOKYO

- Good morning! - Good morning!

- Good morning! - Azon!

Good morning, Azon!

Good morning! Why didn't you come to work with us?

Maybe you met with a guy, or secret boyfriend.

Hey, if I met a guy,

I wouldn't be here at work. I'd be out enjoying myself.

Yeah, right.

- What fun. - Hold on. I'm getting a call.

Wait a sec.

It's my niece. Hold on.

- Okay. - Let's go!

We'll see you later.

Hello!

Hi, my baby! How are you?

We're fine, Auntie Beauty.

Hi, Auntie Beauty! How are you?

Hello, Drew!

Auntie, I have good news for you!

What?

All my grades are very high,

which means I can apply for scholarship next semester.

Thank you, Lord!

All right, I'll send you 10,000 yen, so you can go shopping.

Auntie, you don't have to. I'm fine.

Auntie, I'm more than willing to receive that money!

Drew,

I'll give you the money if you can give me high grades.

Hannah...

is your dad there?

Can I talk to him?

Auntie, sorry, Dad isn't here.

What is it? I can take a message for him.

I sent him 80,000 pesos yesterday,

so he and the architect can buy the materials they need.

I hope they got everything already.

Okay, Hannah?

Hannah?

Yes, they did.

Tell him to send me pictures, okay?

So that I can see the progress.

I really hope that gets done,

because I'm already tired.

I'm getting old. I want to retire.

Hello, my baby?

Hello?

Hannah? Why aren't you saying anything? Is there a problem?

Auntie, I'm sorry, I was just thinking of something.

Oh, right, Auntie, happy birthday!

Auntie, happy birthday! Happy birthday, Auntie Beauty!

Thank you!

I thought you wouldn't remember my birthday.

Thank you!

- Azon. - Oh, all right.

Hannah, I'll call again, okay?

- Okay, bye. I love you! - So...

- Bye, Auntie! - Bye, Auntie!

- Good morning! - Morning.

Azon. Please clean room 405, okay?

Yes. Please excuse me.

Be quick.

I always lose to you!

You just need more practice.

- Welcome back! - Hey!

- How are you? - I'm tired.

- You're tired? - I lost again.

Geez.

It's his fault!

Get our gifts.

Okay.

I'm spent!

Tada!

Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday!

Happy birthday!

Happy birthday!

Because you're such a shy guy, this is the perfect gift for you.

Especially for the cold weather.

No, no, no!

We're just joking. Sorry! We have a real gift for you.

Seriously?

Hold on.

Hey you!

Joey!

Whoa!

- What's this? - Happy birthday!

Happy birthday!

Thank you!

I really like it very much!

Happy birthday, Dad!

Enjoy your special day, Grandpa!

Charlene, Jom, thank you!

So...

How are you over there?

We're good.

We're okay, but we miss you.

Dad...

there's someone else here who wants to greet you.

Who?

Hi, Jo, happy birthday!

Jo!

Jo!

Are you still mad?

That was a long time ago, Jo.

Even now, you still don't want to speak to me?

Or forgive me?

Jo!

Mom, let's give him space.

The time will come when he'll be able to forgive you.

Happy birthday!

Happy birthday!

Thank you!

- Happy birthday! - Thank you!

- Thank you! - Don't be loud.

Why are you here?

We'll be in trouble if the supervisor sees us together.

He's eating downstairs.

- You saw him? - Relax.

Azon, let's go clubbing tonight.

It's your birthday.

You might even meet a guy there.

You know I've given up on that, and you're always such a heavy spender.

I'm trying to be practical.

You know I'm having a house built, and an apartment as well.

- Oh, right, I want to show you something. - What is that?

Here, the latest update sent by my brother.

- It's so nice! - Looks good!

I'm jealous.

You spend too much. Try saving up more.

There, see?

It's so fulfilling to see where all your money is going.

- Can you move a bit? - That's true.

- Thank you. - Hey.

- You're welcome. - You know, let's go out later tonight.

We can split the bill. Let's celebrate your birthday.

I don't want to. Nope.

We're all chipping in.

- Quiet down! - Don't force me to carry you.

You used to like drinking.

Because you drink too much now.

We're already so noisy.

- Just come with us. - Let's carry her.

- Come on. - Stop it.

I'm not interested, you know that.

- Hey, stop it. - Come on.

- Hold on. - Let's go!

Okay.

- On one condition... - What?

We should go home by 11:00 p.m.

Cheers!

Let her!

Hey, who's that girl going crazy on the dance floor?

Let them enjoy!

Cheers!

Sis, it's 11:30, let's go home.

Don't be a killjoy, it's our day off tomorrow.

Okay, let's dance! Dance!

Fine, I'll dance.

Look!

They must be crazy.

Yeah! They're all drunk.

They should go home.

Exactly!

Go home!
