That same guy talked to me and Monica yesterday. He talked to us about the current problem he's carrying.

I don't want my parents to know about this. Because of two reasons: I want to protect DATALINE and I don't want my parents to have negative thoughts about it.

It's pretty hard to explain though.

To have somebody greater that you in position hate you for no practical fault of yours is harder to a person who is never used to having rivals. And that's exactly what he is trying to convey.

He said it was the first time he would open something too personal to us. Unfortunately, Nestle wasn't there to add more animation in our conversations though Monica was already there. The conversation went on seriously enough and I was able to get all the information I needed to know.

Before that happened, we had our first press conference in the Lipa City Hall AVR. The meeting went on fair enough although there were some financial problems that occured.

The lectures were announced and the contest given out; food were distributed and shared. Most of the DATALINE staffers and officers have had a fun time though some where burdened with problems.

After awards were given and the place were swept clean, we headed our own ways. That was when he asked if he could talk to us personally.

I nwardly, I was giggling because of the mere fact that I like this guy. Why would I not? In a few minutes he would be sharing to us (TO ME!) a burden he has been carrying. And what more?! He wants to talk only to the two of us, Monica and me (who's absolutely dying to be with him!!) - alone!!

Great!! Really great!!!

It was going to be total fun time for me if it wasn't for his other set of friends who arrived even before we had taken our orders. I'm not saying that I don't like those other set of friends of his. That would be hard especially when all of us are part of DATALINE, so hating is partly impossible. It's just that most of those friends of his are too hard for me to reach. I mean, they have certain personalities that goes against my own. Their personalities bumps into mine and my personality easily swings away far from them. That's why I don't get along pretty well with them.

Fortunately, though, the guy has this kind of charm that settles down their curiousity when we voluntarily moved seats away from them. I knew for sure that one of them, a guy who is over-sensitive, felt something strange and was for sure hurt for what we had carelessly done.

Eventuall y, that talks were up and it's time for him to go home with his friends.

I just thank God that I've come long way to this.
