Uy friend, congratulations!- I saw your post on FB and they’re great!
Thank you. But the pictures were very simple.- At least, that’s an international presentation.
- I wish I can also present abroad.
- How was it?
- I was very nervous at first because it’s also my first time.
- But the international audience were friendly.
- Really?
- Yes, and they were very appreciative.
- Wow! How about Thailand?
- What did you like most?
- Oh, I love their food, especially, ah, Pad Thai.
- How does it taste?
- It’s like our pancit, but it’s a bit sweet and spicy.
- Did you see our kababayans there?
- There are so many Filipinos there!
- I was so kilig about a Filipino guy who even approached me and asked for my name!
- Really, wow he must be your soulmate!
- I uploaded our picture on FB na.
- You must have seen it.
- Is he the guy with a red shirt?
- Yes! I was super kilig to the bones!
- I know right.
