D2 : I have it with me already

Nina : Wow! Thanks.. Ok will try to catch you later

Time lapse

D1 : Nina, If you get the tapes, I want to remaster it first before you send it to AWS overseas.

Nina : Yup, that's what I was thinking, will copy before sending (my culture's artifact at the mercy of the postal system even if its fedex. No!!)

D1 : That's my only copy.

Nina : WHAT!!!!! YOU SHOULD HAVE AT LEAST 2 MASTERS 1 WITH YOU AND 1 OFFSITE LOCATION*, Iba pa yung pinapahiram mo na copy. Please huwag mong pabayaang mawala ang obra mo!

Time lapse meeting and some quirky phone glitch -- my messages weren't coming in due to phone virus and basement area location.

D1 : Nina, did you reach D2?

D1 : Nina, having problems with D2?

Nina : Oh sorry, didn't get your texts, we're ok scheduling to meet, phone problems will update you soon.

D2 : Where are you? Can drop by Galleria in 30 mins.

Nina : Really! Really! Wow!

D2 : I am here.. I can't go down though, let's meet at the ramp

Nina : (istaristrak) Ok. Wow! Thanks for the effort.. What car are you in?

D2 : (didn't answer my question) anyway see you.

Nina : (saw 2 vehicles, an SUV and a BMW -- ahehe BMW approaches)

D2 : I was suppose to give this to him last time we saw each other.

Nina : Super thanks!

****

Nina : I am on my way to your place.

D1 : ok, am at home. When will you get the tapes from D2

Nina : I have it with me now, alangan namang bisitahin lang kita no? (irreverent ang loka!)

D1 : Wow! Babae lang pala ang kailangan para makuha iyan from him. Ahahaha

Nina : Sexist! Babae ka diyan. Call it convincing powers. How long has it been with him?

D1 : 2 years!!

Nina : But he says he was about to send it back at penguin.

D1 : He's been teasing me that way for 2 years.

Nina : Meron pa ba kayong taong gustong singilin? Ahahaha

*Note to filmmakers : Archive your films, the US Feds make at least 6 copies of their work as archive masters in at least 3 continent locations if ever 2 (not just 1) chunks of the earth collapse. I know its costs to invest on tapes but it'll be more costly to our culture is we lost your obra forever. Even if you think you are not National Artist material, but maybe just maybe some future galactic society would hail you as a genius. Ahahaha.
