“Voice Tape”By Wilfredo Pa Virtusio

“Masakit ang ma-reject. Lalo na’t nag-umpisa kayo bilang magkaibigan. Nasawi ka na sa pag-ibig, guilty ka pa dahil you have just betrayed a dear friend and destroyed a beautiful friendship.”

“Geyluv” By: Honorio De Dios

“Ganun lang talaga ang bata. Siguro may epekto sa kanya ‘yung matagal na ‘di natin pagkikita. Biruin mo naman, halos limang taon na ‘di natin siya nadalaw man lang. sabi nga ni Nanay e hindi na halos matandaan ni Ineng ang hitsura natin. Kumbaga, hindi na rin siya nasanay na maging anak natin.”
