As soon as we dropped our bags in the room, Edmund said “kain na tayo”.
Edmund— hindi pa tayo nagtatanghalian
Me——- hindi pa ako nagugutom, sa dami ng chichirya na kinain natin. At saka maaga pa, alas singko lang.
Edmund— Kumain na tayo, meryenda para mamaya maghahapunan tayo.
Me——- Ha? meryenda? kala ko dinner na.
Edmund— Masyado pang maaga para dinner.
Me—— O sige, let’s go. Huwag na tayo lumabas. Dyan na lang tayo sa baba.
