  1. A

    Ang laki na ng bill ni Lolo, Kayla. Mag-post na tayo ng fundraiser.

    Lolo's bill is getting huge, Kayla. Let's post a fundraiser.

  2. B

    Ayoko. Alam mo namang ayaw ni Lolo na kinaaawaan siya.

    No way. You know Lolo hates being pitied.

  3. A

    Hindi naman awa 'yon. Isa pa, 'yung mga tita natin sa abroad ang nagtatanong kung saan magpapadala.

    It isn't pity. Plus, it's our titas abroad who keep asking where to send money.

  4. B

    Ibigay na lang natin sa kanila ang account number. Hindi kailangang malaman ng buong Facebook.

    Then let's just give them the account number. All of Facebook doesn't need to know.

  5. C

    Gising ako, mga apo. Narinig ko ang lahat.

    I'm awake, girls. I heard everything.

  6. A

    Sorry po, Lolo. Kayo po ang masusunod.

    Sorry, Lolo. Whatever you say goes.

  7. C

    Mag-post kayo, pero 'yung litrato ko noong kasal ko, hindi 'yung nakahiga ako rito. Saka utang 'yan, hindi limos.

    Go ahead and post it, but use my wedding photo, not one of me lying here. And it's a loan, not charity.
