     Ilang sandali pa, tatalikod muli si Fred at pupuluting isa-isa ang mga basyo ng beer. Muli silang magkakatinginan. Tutulo ang luha ni Fred. Fred Malapit na ang palabas. Malapit na silang magsidating. Kailangang maghanda na tayo.

     A few moments later, Fred will turn to his back and will pick up the empty beer bottles one by one. They'll stare at each other. Fred will shed a tear. Fred, the show is near. They will come soon. We need to prepare.

     Nagpuyat kami sa pagpapatayo ng piramid mula sa mga basyo ng pinag-inumang vodka tonic. Nabulabog ako sa umagang iyon. Sa mga katulad ko na hindi pa naimumumog ang panunuyo ng ngalangala, hindi magandang biro ang gisingin ng mga walang katuturang pang-aaliw.

     We stayed awake building a pyramid from empty bottles of vodka and tonic. I'm surprised that morning. On the likes of us who didn't gargled our dry palates, it's a bad idea to wake someone up with senseless entertainment.
