Reason Number 5:
Concerned Friend:
Khay, may ipapakilala ako sa'yo na guy.
Cute. Single. Available. Looking.
K:
Talaga? Sino?
CF:
Friend ng kapatid ko.
K:
Haha, sige.
CF:
OK lang naman sa'yo ang may anak na, 'di ba?
K:
Ha? Ilan?
CF:
Isa lang naman.
At divorced naman dun sa asawa.
K:
Divorced?
Wala namang divorce dito sa Pilipinas a.
Foreigner ba s'ya?
CF:
Hindi. Pinoy.
Pero sa US naman nagpakasal,
kaya na-divorce n'ya yung asawa n'ya.
Tapos matagal na rin silang hindi nagsasama.
Puede nang magpakasal ulit pag ganun, 'di ba?
K (thinking):
Sabi ko na nga ba, may catch e.

Impromptu Persons and Family Relations lesson: walang bisa ang o hindi kikilalanin ang divorce dito sa Pilipinas kung ang nag-file ay isang Filipino citizen, kahit na siya ay kinasal sa ibang bansa. Gayun din, hindi rin itinuturing na walang bisa ang kasal kapag ang mag-asawa ay matagal nang hindi nagsasama o nagkikita. Maaaring "Legally Separated" lamang sila, pero hindi pa rin sila puedeng magpakasal sa ibang tao. See also: Article 15 of the Civil Code.
From the pick-up, three men wearing police uniform steps down, carrying high-caliber guns.
But Khay's attention was caught by the last guy who exited the pick-up truck.
Said guy was tall. Dark. Well-built.
In short, papalicious.
He would have been perfect.
Except for the pair of handcuffs that bound his wrists.
Minsan-minsan na nga lang makakakita ng cute sa CA, akusado pa sa krimen. Pero, come to think of it...kailangan kaya n'ya ng lawyer? If single s'ya, puede ako.

Reason Number 4:
Khay was at a beauty parlor, having her hair cellophaned, when her eyes met those of a cute guy's in the mirror.
Cute Guy smiles.
Khay tentatively smiles back.
Cute Guy sidles over.
Khay's heart started beating really, really fast.

Cute Guy, to Gay Guy doing Khay's hair:
Sister, anong gawa mo?
Para saan yang eklavu na yan?
Sister, anong gawa mo?
Para saan yang eklavu na yan?
Those itsy-bitsy pieces on the parlor floor? Yup. That used to be K's heart.
May shortage na nga ng lalaki, hindi pa talo yung iba. Hmp.

Khay was just about to enter the CA gates when an unmarked white pick-up parks in front of her.Reason Number 3:

Reason Number 2:
Newlywed Officemate:
Karina! Guess what?
K:
What?
NO:
Remember Bank Executive?
Yung crush mo sa neighboring local bank?
K:
Of course.
Bakit, anong balita?
NO:
Nag-inqiure kasi kami kahapon ni Single-Lady Officemate tungkol sa time deposit.
And guess kung sinong nag-entertain sa amin?
K:
Hindi si Bank Executive????
NO:
None other! At, hiningi n'ya ang names namin ni SLO.
At ang hirit ni SLO: And you are (with matching flirtatious eyelashes)?
K, gasps.
NO:
At hiningi rin nya ang number namin.
Nung una, yung number dito sa office ang binigay ni SLO.
Pero sabi ni Bank Executive: 'yung mobile mo number na rin.
K:
Inunahan na naman ako ni SLO!
Shamelessly Eavesdropping Officemate:
Ang bagal mo kasi. Masyado kang pakipot.
'Di mo gayahin si SLO.
Malambing sa guys. 'Kaw kasi hindi, e.
K:
Pero I thought SLO was my friend!!!

Sa edad ko talaga ngayon, wala nang kai-kaibigan. Priority talaga ang lovelife. Talo-talo na.

And the top reason the author is of this pointless piece is still single:
College Best Friend:
This is my friend, British Foreigner.
Sobrang gifted 'yan sa languages.
Christian din s'ya. Active sa Church.
In fact, Bible study leader s'ya sa dorm namin sa Japan.
K:
Really? So what brings you here to the Philippines?
BF (oo, nagta-Tagalog s'ya. Magaling nga sa languages e):
Nag-enrol kasi ako sa International Christian Seminary dito.
K:
A. So after nun, ano'ng plans mo? Babalik ka ng Japan, o uuwi ka sa UK?
(read as: pag nagkatuluyan tayo, san tayo magb-base? Sa Japan o sa UK?)
BF:
I will go wherever the Lord leads me.
Pero, if given the choice, I would like to be a missionary in China.
I feel that there is where I am most needed.
K, praying:
Lord, please, not this one!
