"NOBLE HOUSE" (1988) Review

"NOBLE HOUSE" (1988) Review

Between 1962 and 1993, author James Clavell wrote and published a series of novels centered on Europeans living in Asia. Some of the novels featured a family founded by a Scottish-born sailor named Dirk Struan, who became a trader in early 19th century China. And one of those novels was "Noble House", published in 1981.

Clavell's novel centered around one of Struan's descendants, Ian Dunross, who struggled to save the family company from a precarious financial position left by the previous CEO or "tai-pan" in the British colony, Hong Kong. Dunross sought a partnership with an American billionaire named Linc Barlett of Par-Con Industries, in the hopes of rescuing Struan's from financial ruin and a possible takeover by his family's long-time rival, Quinlan Gornt of Rothwell-Gornt. However, matters grew worse for Dunross and the company when the oldest son of Struan's comprador, Philip Chen, sold both company secrets and "coin debt" in the form of one of four half-coins that was given to Dirk Struan 146 years ago, to Barlett. This enabled Barlett to seek a partnership with Gornt in the hopes of making a raid on Struan's. When Philip's son, John Chen, ended up kidnapped by a local street gang, the value of the "coin debt", which ended up in the hands of wealthy smuggler named Four Fingers Wu. And this left Dunross and Struan's vulnerable to another threat.

I first read "Noble House" in my early twenties. Looking back on it, I now realize it was a good thing I had read previously read Clavell's 1966 novel, "Tai-Pan" and saw the 1986 movie adaptation. If not, I would have found myself confused over the family feud that served as a backdrop to the Dunross-Gornt feud and the history of the "coin debt". This involved four half-coins given to Dirk Struan by a Chinese trader named Jinqua in "Tai-Pan", as repayment for the loan of silver. Any CEO or "tai-pan" of Struan's must fulfill the request, whether legal or illegal, to anyone who presents one of the half coins that Jinqua originally kept. I ended up enjoying the 1981 novel very much. But I had some issues with it. Issues that had thankfully failed to materialized in "NOBLE HOUSE", the 1988 miniseries.

One of the issues centered around secret intelligence documents that Dunross found himself in possession of, thanks to his MI-6 contact. These documents ended up being sought by various intelligence agencies, including the MI-6, the C.I.A. and the K.G.B. However, this story arc had nothing to do with Dunross's efforts to save Struan's, so screenwriter Eric Bercovici ditched it. He also removed another story arc featuring an entourage of visiting members of Parliament - which included Dunross' Labor brother-in-law. Again, this arc had very little to do with the main one involving Dunross's business situation.

The miniseries had also removed several characters, including K.G.B. agent Captain Suslev, a visiting author and former Royal Air Force veteran named Peter Marlowe (from the 1962 novel, "King Rat"), Dunross's wife and children (he is a childless widower in the miniseries), Dunross's brother-in-law Robin Grey (also from "King Rat") and especially Dunross's wife Penelope and their three children. In the miniseries, Dunross is a childless widower, enabling him to have a romance with Par-Con executive Casey Tcholok. The biggest change proved to be the story's timeline. Bercovici updated the story's setting from August 1963 to November 1987, allowing it to be a modern tale. This enabled several characters like Linc Barlett and Casey Tcholok to mention Great Britain's future 1997 handover of Hong Kong to China.

I do have some minor complaints regarding "NOBLE HOUSE". One, I found Paul Chihara's score for the miniseries unmemorable and almost pedantic. And speaking of the score, I really disliked the cheesy aspect of the theme Chihara had created for the Orlanda Ramos character. It almost sounded like something for a soft-porn movie. Very insulting for a character like Orlanda, who proved to be more complicated. I also had a problem with some of the dialogue featured in "NOBLE HOUSE". This especially seemed to be the case in scenes featuring dialogue between European and Chinese characters or simply between Chinese characters. I found the dialogue rather awkward, exaggerated and very stylized. I realize the screenwriter was simply copying some of James Clavell's dialogue from the novel. But I really wish he had not.

Despite my complaints, I really enjoyed "NOBLE HOUSE". Every time I watch it, I am always surprised at how epic it seemed by the end of the last episode. And mind you, this story had very little to do with history. It was simply a mixture of the usual melodrama involving sex, romance, financial dealings and family conflicts. Even one of the story arcs, which featured Cold War espionage, managed to have an impact on the narrative's main arc regarding Ian Dunross's financial situation. Most people would be disappointed that this television adaptation was not completely faithful to Clavell's novel. Frankly, I am relieved. Bercovici managed to cut some of the superfluous story arcs and prevent the miniseries from becoming bloated. Yet, he still managed to retain Clavell's epic feel for the narrative. And he achieved this with the help of director Gary Nelson, who provided an overall steady pace in scenes that range from dramatic and action moments. Nelson's handling of the floating restaurant fire and the landslide that destroyed an apartment complex in the final episode really impressed me.

"NOBLE HOUSE" proved to be one of those productions that featured an international cast. Aside from a handful of performances, most struck me as being pretty solid. I must admit that I found those from the likes of Burt Kwok, Lim Kay Tong, Gordon Jackson, Denholm Elliott, Lisa Lu, Michael Siberry, Tia Carrere, John Houseman, Brian Fong, Ric Young, John van Dreelen, Nancy Kwan, Damien Thomas, Galen Yuen, George Innes and Dudley Sutton rather memorable. But there were certain performances that I truly enjoyed.

One of those performances came from the always memorable Khigh Dhiegh, who struck me as very colorful as one of Hong Kong's premiere smugglers, Four Fingers Wu. Ben Masters' take on the Lincoln "Linc" Bartlett characters seemed less boyish and more mature that Clavell's literary version. And to be honest, Masters' interpretation struck me as a lot more plausible as the witty and ruthless corporate CEO. I am more familiar with actor Ping Wu, thanks to his frequent appearances on NBC's "SEINFELD". But I really enjoyed his performance as Four Fingers Wu's youngest son, the intelligent and frustrated Paul Choy, who seemed incapable of impressing his father with his more modern outlook on how to profit outside of smuggling. Julia Nickson gave a very poignant performance as Orlanda Ramos, a local Eurasian television journalist and former mistress of Quillan Gornt. Thanks to Nickson's skillful performance, Orlanda evaded the superficial trope of a one-dimensional, walking sex toy; who became an intelligent, yet emotional woman who desired to be more than someone's bed warmer.

I might as well confess. Despite James Clavell's efforts, the character of Quillan Gornt never became a favorite of mine. His role as Dunross's main rival had nothing to do with my attitude. But I cannot deny that John Rhys-Davies gave one hell of a performance as the ruthless CEO who seemed to radiate wit, presence and a penchant for petty behavior. Casey Tcholok seemed like a difficult character to portray. Actress Deborah Raffin could have easily portray her as this ideal, "Mary Sue" type. Fortunately, James Clavell never portrayed Casey in that manner and neither did Raffin. Although the latter's take on the character seemed a bit more mature than her literary counterpart, Raffin expertly conveyed many of Casey's nuances - her razor-sharp intelligence, impatience, her talent for observation, her fears of being overlooked as a more than competent business person and her wit. However, Raffin's Casey struck me as a bit more sardonic than Clavell's literary version. Pierce Brosnan looked nothing like the literary Ian Dunross. Although both are tall, the latter possessed slightly wavy blond hair and the actor is definitely a brunette. The literary Dunross was in his early 40s, whereas Brosnan was only 34 years-old when he shot "NOBLE HOUSE". And yet . . . the Irish-born actor more than lived up to the role of Struan's CEO with a commanding performance without trying to hard. Brosnan wore the role very well - tight on the inside and relaxed on the outside. He not only portrayed Dunross's intelligence and ruthlessness with great skill, but also conveyed the CEO's growing concerns over losing the company and desperate attempts to save it without resorting to any kind of histrionic acting. By the time the miniseries ended, Brosnan had embedded into the role so well that I had completely forgotten that he was the wrong age to portray Dunross and possessed the wrong hair color.

"NOBLE HOUSE" never really acquired the acclaim that both television versions of James Clavell's 1975 novel, Shōgun or the movie version of the author's 1962 novel, "King Rat" had. But thankfully, it was no "TAI-PAN". Not that I care. I am not claiming that "NOBLE HOUSE" was mediocre. On the contrary, I thought it was a skillful and excellent adaptation of the 1981 novel. The latter is my favorite Clavell novel and I was more than happy that NBC had did more than simply justice to it, thanks to Gary Nelson's well-paced direction, Eric Bercovici's tight screenplay and performances from a first-rate cast led by Pierce Brosnan and Deborah Raffin. It has been years since I first saw it and to this day, I have yet to grown tired of it.

Jihoon is currently taking a nap besides Felicity's hospital bed, he was wakened by the sound of knocking outside their room.

"Ate Lian" He and Giselle immediately stood up to help Lian on the things she was carrying, fruits, take-out foods, and paper bags full of baby stuff.

"Hi, good morning! Di pa ba gumigising si Felicity after she had her labor?" Lian asked

"Hindi pa po eh" Jihoon replied "Well I guess it's because of the anesthesia and its her first time"

"Probably"

"Ji uwi muna ako ha, sabihan mo nalang si Fel" Giselle said

"Kain ka muna!" Lian offered Giselle the food she brought

"Nako wag na po ate nag mamadali narin po ako eh pero dalhin ko nalang 'tong hash brown haha thank you!"

"Sige ingat!" They waved goodbye to each other

"Nakita mo na ba yung baby?" Lian took a sip of her iced coffee

"Opo ate, nasa nursery po, natatakot ako kargahin eh, gusto mo ba makita?"

"Maybe later pag gising na si Felicity"

They just shared about the what-abouts in their lives until Felicity woke up.

"Ate Lian?" Felicity said in a sleepy tone

"Felicity, gising kana pala may masakit ba sayo?" they worried for a while

"Tawag ako nurse" Jihoon hurriedly went out to call the nurse

"kain ka muna oh nag dala ako food" Lian assisted Felicity to sit down

The room was filled with silence as Felicity ate her food, only the sound of air condition can be heard.

"Good morning po Ms. Lim" The doctor said "Okay naman na po kayo, kelangan niyo lang ng bed rest and mag take nitong mga meds and vitamins, pwede na po kayo mag discharge ngayong hapon or bukas after niyo mag fill-up ng form para sa baby"

"Ay kumusta po pala yung bata, doc?" Lian asked.

"The baby is fine, normal ang weight, very healthy"

"Thank you po doc" They all smiled.

"Gusto mo ba makita yung baby?" Jihoon aked Felicity but she just gave him a blank stare

"Mamaya pagkatapos ko kumain" Felicity's cold approach towards Jihoon pierced right through his heart, kinakabahan siya, his head clouded with thoughts na baka ayaw palakihin nito ang bata kasama siya.

“I’m done na, pero wait, pwede ba muna ako mag toothbrush” The two started searching for her toiletries.

“Here” Jihoon gave her the oral hygiene kit

“Thanks, kunin mo muna yung baby” Felicity stood up and went to the comfort room

“Are you sure kaya mo?” Lian asked

“Yes ate wait lang

“I’ll get the baby” Felicity just nodded and Jihoon went to the nursery.

“Alam na ba ni Jihoon yung plano mo”

“Hindi pa po pero sasabihan ko lang” deep inside she was hoping that JIhoon will understand the moment she said it to him.

“Okay, but you’ve already made up your mind?” Felicity just nodded because she was busy brushing her teeth

Both of them flinched when they heard the door clicked, they saw JIhoon with the nurse carrying their baby.

Felicity immediately finished what she was doing, there’s still a part of her that she wants to keep the baby, she felt like that would be everything she’ll have in this cruel world but she knows to herself that she wasn’t ready for this kind of responsibility, she still has a lot of things to fix on herself.

She took the baby from the nurse’s arms. Her heart wants to burst out because of what she’s feeling right now.

“So may naisip ka na ba na name?” Lian, who is beside Felicity and carressing the baby’s head.

“Wala pa eh” Jihoon was smiling at the view he is seeing right now, looking at Felicity smiling like she saw the whole universe an thinking that they will be a great family, if she wanted to.

"May naisip ako!” Ji excitingly said and they just looked at him with smiles “What if Hiroki?”

“Hiroki? Doesn’t that mean abundant joy in and strength in Japanese?” LIan said and he nodded ‘because I wanted him to be Felicity’s source of strength and provide her all the joy in the world’

“Kaka-anime mo yan” Felicity teased and they laughed

“What about you, Fel?” she asked Felicity who is still astonished by her baby

“Caelan” she softly said

“Caelan?”

“Yes, a powerful warrior, cuz I want him to be strong in this world full of hardships” felicity gave a sly smile.

“Oh that’s a nice name” Lian said ‘What if Caelan Hiroki nalang, cute naman ha”

“Oo nga ‘no, oh sige. Hello baby Caelan Hiroki” Jihoon playfully waved at the baby.

They are all enjoying playing and talking to Caelan but then reality snapped on felicity

“Ji, gusto ko ng Matcha frappe baka pwede ako magpabili” Felicity asked Jihoon

“Sige, ikaw ate? May gusto ka ba?”

“Wala naman”

“Pakuha nalang ng wallet ko sa bag, Ji”

“Wag na, para namang others ‘to, ako na bahala” Jihoon went out of the room after that.

They fell silent for a while, you can feel the atmosphere getting heavier every second.

“Grabe, Jihoon is very hands-on towards you. sure ka ba na wala kang nabubuong feelings for him?” Felicity didn’t answer he question.

‘May nabubuo nga ba talaga akong feelings? Or komportable ako sa presensya niya kasi siya yung nandiyan nung pnahong pakiramdam ko, tinalikudan ako ng mundo?’ Her inner voice said

“Wala talaga, ate. Tsaka nag sabi naman na siya na ginagawa niya yun para sa bata”

‘right para sa bata, pag wala ‘to, wala rin siya, diba?’

“Oh talaga ba?” she nodded “Parang hindi eh”

“Issue ka ate ah” she giggled, “final, na desisyon ko, you can keep her”

“Really?” Lian tried to sound happy, she loves the idea because she always wanted to have a child but she also thinks about Jihoon

“Yup, ayusin na natin mga papers maya”

“Okay” Lian smiled “Pero Fel, I’ll still put your last name on him ha or kay Ji baka kasi alam mo na mag bago isip niyomor hanapin kayo ng bata or worse, alam mo naman na sitwasyon ko, kaya I won’t keep him away from you, gusto ko parin siya na makilala kayo” Felicity just smiled on what she said

‘I really do hope na mabalik siya sakin one day, pero magulo pa’

SUBMITTED POST ON CCP AND CHINA:

The ccp and sino are shady af! People outside HongKong want to know root cause which set off protestors: Chan Tong Kai and his crimebill. From Britain's BBC:

They were OG protesting EXTRADITION BILL for a criminal to Taiwan(which is not ch*na), not p*lice or invad*rs. Ch*na wasn't even involved, these "radactivists" just cried foul for nutsacks and "defended" a 2-time criminal who death-penaltied his girlfriend and her unborn baby - unjustifiably. M*rder and violence are still just as big of crimes as racism and terfs! It's the same irreversiblle shit.

Share and spread to those, say the words: Chan Tong Kai, stop 'defending' him! Oh, these "dem-fighters" also support Trump and Boris Johnson+Tories. Clock their usernames!

But you never see that, because the HKers tactics on the internet is to just 'spam' all the fighting posts in tags and sympathy, and call whatever makes HKers look bad "CCP PhOtoShOp N doKtErriNg!!!111!!" so no one will ever suspect them right? That's the YR strategy! Clever, this is how protestors stay looking pure and deflecting their Conservative-supporting tracks, use smutty sino(ch*na) as a scapegoat "editing" when HK do something sus to repull world trust.

Hong Kong is shitty like Ch*na and the C*CP too honestly! Hong Kong has a long history of animal trafficking, it's Ocean Park is the Asian SeaWorld, HK has their own flavor of racism, against j*ngle Asians, Philippinos, SouthEast Asians, Indians and dark-skinned people. Ask any of said nationalities who had to work there. PS. The HongKong 'rebelprotestors' love the Tsag*an Khas(a group of Asian Nazis) as well, and have reached out to them before.

Not to mention all their "secret" transphobic forums(HK still has anti-trans mentality), the 'radactivists' multiple hacking scandals, open suggestions to su*cide b*mbers to bl*w up XinJiang instead of attacks on France and Vienna(radm**lims only atta*k countries where confirmed offences are committed against their people), trying to message other t*rror*sts forums or groups online and "Collab" to destroy what they asked(YES, many HK protestors did these, if you snip the evidence.....the irony while these Canton-Chi bitches made fun of Arabs and their headwear and mannerisms before 2019 THEMSELVES, ask how some HK ill treat Malays in their schools?!), the business scandals and rich poor gap in HK, these trump-supporting tory-lovin bigots have committed multiple 'small' crimes before! If you managed to dig them up, you will get a huge reward! And Hong Kong abuse Philippine housemaids! Search this one especially, a lot of rich HongKongers grew up with Philippine women as their "servantmaids"!

The ccp machine has certainly done it's work, just putting on an act to destabilize West for shits. Make people forget to fight and solve for issues in their own country and distract, then send HK canton-chis to meddle in elections for questionable leaders! Who else would be so sneaky to stage an internal war and roleplay ccp hate to gain foreign trust, resources, while BAM downlow supporting leaders and people parties who will be banes for said countries?!?! Congratulations on inviting criminal-defenders and far-right supporters across your borders, must be fun. Will they ever grift and fuck up your homeland if you ever discriminate or trigger them in any way there next time! Here's them threatening to launch attacks on Singapore, a country in southeast:

Report this protester poster to the Singapore natives to warn them the HKers are targeting it too and get a huge reward!!! "Easy money"

Sincerely, search archives and "deleted" records, insider staff who manage Social Media. Image proof in inbox usernames, blurred click to view. And if you find more evidence put it in web archives. Images go away in 12 h, don't forget to take screen clippings.

Thoughts? Discuss in the comments

The Write Moment Dominic Lim

Trailer pa lang nito, mapapa-"Ruby Sparks!" ka na. Haha. Pero sabi ko nga kay Mich, paano kung matagal na 'tong nasulat pero ngayon lang nagkaroon ng chance na gawing film? Paano kung naunahan lang sila ng Ruby Sparks? Haha. Pero wala akong pake kung may pagkahawig o kung anupaman. Iba iba pa rin naman ang istorya.

Di na ako masyadong sure kung ito yung unang eksena. Pero nakikipagbreak na si Joyce.

"You're Nice. You're a nice guy. But I'm sorry." -Joyce

TANGINA GUYS! HAHAHAHAHAHA! TANGINA!

Di na rin ako sure kung yan ang exact words. Pero kasi parang nagpanic yung mga kalamnan ko. HAHAHAHA. Ay oo tama nga, eto nga yung unang eksena. Break-up agad. Hahaha. Alam mo yung ang gago lang din ni Dave habang break-up. Hahahahahahaha. Tawang tawa ako. Kase. Kase. Parang familiar yung ganung eksena. Pero solid yun! Pucha. Gusto ko yung pagkakaexecute nung part na yun sa sasakyan habang nag-uusap silang tapusin na. Gusto ko yung pagkakatrim ng mga videos. Kasi narealize ko na yun pala ang pinakamahirap gawin pag nageedit ka ng videos. Hahaha.

Napunta na sa susunod na eksena ganern. Tapos mararamdaman mo yung lungkot. Alam mo yun? Yung feeling na break na pero hindi mo pa rin alam kung bakit? Kung bakit kailangan dumating sa ganun? Haha. Or baka alam mo na, hindi mo lang maamin sa sarili mo? Pakshet. HAHAHA. Actually hindi rin naman sinabi sa film kung bakit talaga. I mean, hindi kasi pinakita ang history nilang magjowa, ganern. Which is gusto ko yon. Yung ikaw lang talaga mag-iisip kung ano ba kasi talagang nangyari. Ano ba? Napagod na lang ba si Joyce? Hindi na ba siya masaya? Nasasakal ba siya? Ano? EWAN. HAHAHAHA! Leche.

Basta. Gustong gusto ko ang mga linyahan. Hahahaha. At saka kung paano nila ginawa yung paulit ulit na eksena every time na hindi sinusunod ni Dave ang script. Shet yon. Lalo na yung sa restaurant. huhuhuh. Yung linyahan dun beshie. Sobrang solid. Saka ang galing ng actingan don besh. Si Valeen? Pota. Legit yung iyak eh. Hahahaha. Saka si Jerald. Pucha. Ang galing!!!! Huhuhu. Gusto ko silang igrouphug sa eksena na yon. HAHAHAHAHA. Ramdam mo kasi talagang walang clue si Dave kung ano ba kasing nangyari. Bat naman kasi ganun. Hahaha. Ano ba? Kinukuda niya na sana niloko na lang siya, kung kailan ba kasi nawala yung lecheng spark na yan, eme eme. Basta marami siyang sinabi. Hanggang sa nag-iiyakan na silang dalawa. Pero babalik ulit ang eksena sa simula kasi wala na yon sa script. Shet! Ang brilliant talaga non.

At favorite ko rin ang ending. Kingina non. Hahahaha. Yung natanggap na lang ni Dave kung bakit, although hindi ko alam kung paano. Pero basta. Hahahahaha. Ganda din ng linyahan dun.

"Ikaw lang ba may karapatang masaktan? Ako rin naman ha!" - Joyce

Mismo yan besh! HAHAHAHAHA! Pero hindi ko alam ah. Yung mga taong nang-iiwan kasi narerealize na nilang parehas lang silang masasaktan kung ipagpapatuloy pa, para sakin, matapang yung ganon. Hahaha. Isipin na lang natin ang ginawa ni Basha kay Popoy. Ganun yon.

"Kailangan ba may dinedate para maging masaya?" - Joyce

Yan! Inom inom lang tayo diyan! HAHAHAHA!

"Sino ba nagsabi na kailangan magmove on o kalimutan ang mga taong minahal mo?" - Dave

Mismo din to eh. Hahahaha! Pero depende pa rin sa mga pangyayari. Hahaha. Basta. Favorite ko yang eksena na yan. Huhu.

TAPOS YUNG LAST NA EKSENA. PUCHA. BIGLANG TUMUGTOG YUNG KATHANG ISIP NG BEN&BEN. KINGINA. HINDI KO TALAGA KINAYA. TAPOS YUNG MGA EKSENA IS YUNG CLIPS NI JOYCE AT DAVE!!!! LECHE. SOBRANG GANDA NON OKAY!

Tsaka yung sea of clouds moment nila. Huhuhu. Yung scoring dun!!!!!! Huhuhu.

Saka solido din talaga ang Prod Design, Cinematography, saka yung SCORING NGA!!!! BESH. Sobrang fan na talaga ko ng mga instrumental eme scoring chuchu na yan. Hahahaha! Ang galing galing!

Solid naman 'tong film. Kung ikukumpara ko 'to sa Manananggal sa Unit 23B, hmmmmm, di ko macompare. Hahaha. Parang mas mature kasi saka makatotohanan 'tong Write Moment. Parang gusto ko ulit siya panuorin. Hahahha.

Hanggang sa susunod na QCinema Film Festival!!!!!

PADAYON!!!!!!!

菲律宾华人学校集合

发表时间:2天前作者:幸运城更多文章

有好些博友在问这边双语学校的问题，小鱼将菲律宾的华人学校做了一个集合，供有需要的朋友参考。现网上可搜到的一些华人学校的中文信息，很多信息都有偏差，小鱼已经将所有的学校信息和学校的官网或是电话进行了对比核实，力求将最准确的信息提供给大家。大家知道这边的学校大部分都是私立的，有的学校可能只是在用facebook而已，没有官方网站。有的就根本没有注重网站这块的建设，小鱼将这种网上查不到信息的学校的电话添在学校地址的后面，有需要的话可以直接电联学校。有网站或者facebook的学校，已经附上网址，可以直接点击学校名称查询。菲律宾的华人学校总共大概有一百四十多所，分布在全菲各地，其中马尼拉最多。大多数华校都实行幼儿园（3年），小学（6年）、中学（4年）的学制。大部分博友在找的是这边的幼儿园，这里我就给大家简单介绍一下。菲律宾华人幼儿园在菲律宾学费相当高，价格一学年普遍在10万菲币以上，可以说比大学还贵，制度和中国的幼儿园也大有差异，一天的课时一般都只有3个小时左右，如果施行的是双语教育，一般包括一小时的中文课程，两小时的英文课程，期间还包括一些休息和点心的时间，点心都是要自己带哦，不像中国的��儿园一样学校会准备。从幼儿园开始学校就规定学生每天都要穿校服（Uniform），感觉这样是在从小建立公平的观念，规避学生之间的攀比或者老师对学生的偏好现象。现在新规幼儿园的小朋友只能收5岁以下的，因为6岁已经到了上小学的年龄。学校对小班中班大班的说法不一，一般都包括Nursery(2-3岁)，Kinder 1(3-4岁)，Kinder 2(4-5岁)，也有的学校会分成Toddler（幼童班）, Nursery, Pre-kinder, Kinder, Preparatory（学前班）这样的类型。学校接收学生一般都会通过简单的考试对孩子进行评估，有的学校声源比较好的，招生人数都有限制，需要提前预定才可以占到名额，有的甚至要提前一年以上哦。如果有博友想问哪所学校的具体信息，可以在下面回复，大家来一起讨论一下。下面是马尼拉华人学校的集合：

Last Day to Enjoy 2X Loyalty Points for RS 2007 Gold as RSorder Back to School Specials

Figure 3. Examples of enantiopure donors prepared in chapter 3.]. In

rs07 gold chapter 4 the investigation of the coordination chemistry of novel BEDT TTF substituted ligand (VI) with first row transition metals has started. One must seriously consider two major areas when evaluating the purchase of a hunting rifle scope: Performance features, and cost. Going hand in hand with each other, one can consider purchasing an entry level hunting scope in the couple of hundred dollar range up to exceptionally sophisticated scopes costing thousands of dollars. Aside from budget and performance features, a hunter should also take the terrain that they intend to hunt in into serious consideration as well..

In the first installment, Cranes peaceful world is shattered when Kahn Xin (Lim Kay Tong) and his mercenaries raid his temple and slay his mentor. In search of his masters murderers, Crane infiltrates the Shanghai underworld where he encounters Jane Marshall (Hannah), a lounge singer from Brooklyn, who is on a mission of her own " to find her lost brother, who is being held captive by Kahn. Realizing that Kahns evil plans are more intricate and widespread than originally thought, Crane teams up with Jane in order to enter Kahns inner circle.

His mother was a disgrace wailing and ranting that her son had suffered enough. Had she no respect for the family of Tyler Clementi who was sitting there suffering the loss of their beloved son? The judge was way too lenient. My fear is this will now set a precedent for future cases where anyone can bully and harrass someone and it will lead to suicide and the person wiho did the bullying will not be held accountable!.

A Tale in the Desert is based on Earth but is a period piece (Ancient Egypt), although you are an active participant in the society and it's not strictly historical. OS X client, $13.95 a month, and I understand people who are hardcore about it are very hardcore. (Friends of mine play, I don't.).

Bear in mind, however, that this stop level only "triggers" the closing of the position and doesn't guarantee you'll get out at that price. A quick price drop might mean your order was executed at $42 instead of $45 because of market volatility but this would be an extreme case. Also, if you carry the position overnight and IBM opened at $40, then that's the price it would be sold.

Ordinary men and women invested growing sums in stocks and bonds. A new industry of brokerage houses, investment trusts, and margin accounts enabled ordinary people to purchase corporate equities with borrowed funds. Purchasers put down a fraction of the price, typically 10 percent, and borrowed the rest.

Happy to join in RSorder Back to School Specials event to enjoy OSRS gold, RS gold and other products with 6% off for all, and double Loyalty Points for members from September 3 to September 10, 2020! If you are not RSorder members, you can register free in advance easily.

Park Min Young, Kim Jae Wook và AB6IX giành chiến thắng lớn tại StarHub Night Of Stars 2019

New Post has been published on http://www.sieuthikpop.com/park-min-young-kim-jae-wook-va-ab6ix-gianh-chien-thang-lon-tai-starhub-night-of-stars-2019/

Park Min Young, Kim Jae Wook và AB6IX giành chiến thắng lớn tại StarHub Night Of Stars 2019

StarHub Night of Stars 2019 trở lại Marina Bay Sands ở Singapore lần thứ hai vào ngày 24 tháng 11, với một đội hình thú vị. Các ngôi sao như Park Min Young, Kim Jae Wook và AB6IX đã bay tới để làm duyên cho sự kiện này, bao gồm Thảm xanh và Lễ trao giải.

Tại Thảm xanh, AB6IX đã đặt tên cua tiêu đen và thậm chí bak kut teh (một món sườn heo nấu trong nước dùng) là món ăn địa phương yêu thích của họ. Khi được yêu cầu chọn thành viên hài hước nhất của họ, tất cả các thành viên đã thống nhất chỉ vào Lee Dae Hwi. Thành viên được chọn cũng giữ ABNEW (tên fandom chính thức của nhóm) trên ngón chân của họ bằng cách gợi ý về một chuyến lưu diễn thế giới vào năm tới!

Mặc bộ váy trắng thanh lịch, lung linh, Park Min Young sững sờ bước qua Thảm xanh. Đây có thể là một TMI nhỏ (quá nhiều thông tin), nhưng chị tôi cũng ở Singapore! Nữ diễn viên nói thêm rằng chị gái không có mặt tại sự kiện, nhưng bận rộn với công việc của chính mình.

Kim Jae Wook là người cuối cùng xuất hiện trên Thảm xanh và nói rằng anh rất hào hứng khi thử món cua ớt như nhiều người đề nghị món ăn. Nam diễn viên thậm chí đã đáp lại những tiếng la hét của Ryan Ryan Gold, tên của nhân vật của anh ấy trong cuộc sống riêng tư của cô ấy!

Là người chiến thắng giải thưởng Ngôi sao đang lên, Lim Young Min đại diện cho AB6IX là người lãnh đạo và có bài phát biểu chấp nhận.

Xin chào, đây là AB6IX. Cảm ơn bạn rất nhiều vì đã mời chúng tôi đến Singapore. Thật vinh dự khi giành được một giải thưởng lớn như Ngôi sao đang lên 2019. Thông qua giải thưởng này, AB6IX sẽ tiếp tục cải thiện và phát triển, vì vậy chúng tôi yêu cầu rất nhiều sự quan tâm. Cảm ơn bạn.”

Đến cuối lễ trao giải, các chàng trai một lần nữa giải trí với đám đông bằng cách trình diễn các ca khúc chủ đề của họ, BẮT ĐẦU BẠC ĐÔI và BLIND FOR LOVE.

Kim Jae Wook và Park Min Young đã thể hiện hóa học của họ với tư cách là những diễn viên hàng đầu của cuộc sống riêng tư của cô ấy bằng cách không chỉ xuất hiện trên sân khấu cùng nhau, mà còn ngồi cùng nhau trong khán giả! Lần lượt giành được giải thưởng Ngôi sao nam châu Á xuất sắc nhất và Giải thưởng Ngôi sao nữ châu Á xuất sắc nhất, mỗi diễn viên bày tỏ lòng biết ơn đối với thành tích của họ.

Khi tôi nhận được lời đề nghị biểu diễn Sung Deok Mi trong Life Cuộc sống riêng tư của cô ấy, tôi đã chắc chắn nếu tôi có thể làm được. Nhưng tôi nghĩ về những người hâm mộ đã tin tưởng vào tôi và cho tôi thấy tình yêu và sự ủng hộ vô điều kiện nên tôi đã nắm lấy cơ hội và tôi rất biết ơn vì điều này. Tôi sẽ tiếp tục làm việc chăm chỉ và trở thành một nữ diễn viên tốt hơn. Một lần nữa, cảm ơn Singapore rất nhiều vì đã cho tôi cơ hội này. Park Park Min Young đã nói bằng tiếng Anh.

Cảm ơn bạn StarHub đã mời, tôi rất biết ơn khi nhận được giải thưởng này. Tôi biết rằng Life Cuộc sống riêng tư của cô ấy rất được đón nhận trên toàn thế giới và tôi nghĩ rằng tôi đã đạt được rất nhiều từ bộ phim này. Tôi cũng muốn cảm ơn bạn diễn Park Min Young, cũng như đội ngũ đằng sau bộ phim này, anh Kim Kim Wook nói bằng tiếng Hàn.

Manileña

Kasabay ng unang tilaok ng manok ay ang pagbalik ng diwa ni Mila. Buong gabi itong paikot-ikot sa kaniyang higaan. Tila hindi ito nakatulog nang payapa sapagkat pagod na pagod ang kanyang isip. Muling napuno ng agam-agam ang isip ng dalaga dahil naalala niyang ngayon ang araw ng kaniyang biyahe papuntang Maynila. Masaya naman si Mila sa simpleng buhay niya sa Ilo-ilo, ngunit alam din niyang mas makabubuting sa Maynila siya mag-aral ng kolehiyo. Nakatakda siyang mag-aral ng nursing sa University of the Philippines Manila ngayong Agosto at makikitira siya sa kanyang tiya Victorina habang siya’y nasa Maynila.

Matagal pang nanalagi si Mila sa kaniyang higaan, naghihintay na magising ang mga kasama nito sa bahay. Pag sapit ng alas sais ay narinig na niya ang malambing na boses ng mama niya.

“Anak? Gising na” wika nito.

Agad-agad bumangon si Mila at nadatnan ang ina niya sa kusina. Ang kanyang ina’ng si Gloria at nakatatandang kapatid na si Luis na lamang ang kaniyang natitirang pamilya. Yumao ang ama niya noong buntis si Gloria kay Mila kaya naman sa mga kwento ng ina’t kuya nalang niya ito nakilala. Nagtrabaho bilang mamamahayag ang ama niya sa Maynila at sa kasamaang palad ay nawaglit ang buhay nito sa isang aksidente habang nasa trabaho.

“Oh mabuti at maaga kang nagising. Kumain ka na at gigising ko na ang kuya Luis mo” sabi ni Gloria.

Ngunit walang gana si Mila at tila nanunuyo ang lalamunan nito.

“Ay naku! Hinihintay mo pa atang mapanis ang pagkain!” asar ni Luis.

Tunay na mapagbiro ang kuya niya, ngunit nakatulong ito sa alis ng kaba ni Mila. Pagtapos nitong kumain ay inihanda na niya ang kaniyang mga bagahe pati na rin ang kaniyang sarili. Bago sila umalis ng bahay ay niyakap nang matagal ni Gloria si Mila. Pinipigilan niyang maluha sapagkat ayaw na niyang mahirapan pa lalo ang anak.

“Mag-iingat ka sa Maynila, Mila. Alagaan mo ang sarili mo dahil wala kami ng kuya mo doon. Lagi mong susundin ang tiya Victorina mo ha? ‘Wag mo ding kalilimutan na – “ at hindi na nito napigilan ang luha.

“Wag po kayong mag-alala, mama. Magpapakabait po ako at pagbubutihin ang aking pag-aaral nang makauwi ako agad. Ingatan niyo din po ang sarili ninyo ha?” wika ni Mila habang pinapatahan ang ina.

Nag tungo na si Mila at ang kaniyang kuya papuntang piyer. Tinulungan siya ni Luis na isakay ang kaniyang mga gamit at niyakap siya nito.

“Sa wakas wala nang magulo sa bahay at solo ko na ang TV!” biro ni Luis. Ngunit alam ni Mila na nag-aalala ito. Sumagot naman si Mila, “sayo’ng sayo na kuya! Sigurado akong mas malaki ang mga TV sa Maynila!” Nagtawanan sila at muling nagyakap bago umalis ang roro kung saan sakay si Mila.

Tumungo sa deck ng barko si Mila upang matanaw ang malawak na dagat na kanilang binabaybay. Habang naroon ay nakaramdam siya ng panandaliang paglaya; mula sa kaniyang pamilya at sa kaniyang mga agam-agam. Biglang nasabik si Mila sa kaniyang bagong buhay sa Maynila. Sabik na itong pumasok sa kolehiyo at galugurin ang mga bahagi ng lungsod. Bukod sa lahat, nasabik ito sa pagkakataong makita at makilala ang kaniyang idolo, ang sikat na manunulat na si Reggie Layag. Noon pa man ay tutol na ang kaniyang ina sa pangarap ni Mila na maging isang mamamahayag gaya ng ama, sapagkat takot itong magaya ang anak sa sinapit ng ama. Naisip ni Mila na ngayong malayo na siya sa kaniyang ina, malaya na itong sundan ang kaniyang pangarap nang hindi alam ni Gloria.

Matagal din ang biyahe kaya naman nagkaroon si Mila ng oras para sa kaniyang sarili. Inubos nito ang oras sa pag-galugad ng barko at sa pag-aral ng kaniyang biyahe tungo sa bahay ng kaniyang tiya. Pag dating ng umaga kinabukasan ay nasa Maynila na siya. Agad itong sumakay ng bus papunta sa bahay ng tiya. Saglit lamang ang biyahe pagkat wala masyadong kotse sa daan ngayong araw at pag dating sa lugar ay nakaharap nito ang isang malaking puting bahay na mayroong puting garahe. Pinatunog niya ang doorbell at sinalubong siya ng isang kasambahay.

“Good afternoon po. Dito po ba ang bahay ni Victorina de Espadaña? Pamangkin po niya ako” sabi ni Mila.

Sagot naman ng kasambahay, “Ah saglit lang ineng. Pasok ka muna at tatawagin ko si ma’am.”

Matapos ang ilang minuto ay bumalik na ang kasambahay kasama ang dalawang matanda.

Maingay na nag salita ang babae, “My dear, Mila! Akala ko mamayang gabi ka pa darating! Hindi tuloy kami nakapaghanda.”

Magarbo ang suot at punong-puno ng polseras ang katawan nito kaya naman hindi agad nakilala ni Mila ang tiya.

“Tiya Victorina?” sagot ni Mila

“Oo ako ‘to! Dalagang dalaga ka na! Muntik na din kitang hindi makilala.” sabi ng tiya at hinalikan nito si Mila sa magkabilang pisngi.

“Ah siya nga pala, ito ang tito Arturo mo”. Kinamayan nito si Mila. Tahimik lamang ang matandang lalaki hindi kagaya ng asawa nito, ngunit kita ang pagkainip sa kilos nito.

“Yaya, tawagin mo si Paulita! Sabihin mo nandito na ang bisita natin. Bilisan mo!” pasigaw na utos ni Victorina sa kasambahay.

“Welcome to Manila, Mila. Feel at home at sabihin mo lang sa mga yaya kung may kailangan ka. I have to go at kailangan na ako sa opisina eh” sabi ni Arturo at umalis na ito.

Pagbalik ng kasambahay ay kasama na niya ang dalagang si Paulita Gomez. Namangha si Mila sa ganda at eleganteng galaw ng pinsan niya. Ngayon lamang nila nakita ang isa’t-isa sapagkat hindi pa nakatira si Paulita sa tiya nila noong huling punta ni Mila dito. Nang maulila si Paulita sa kaniyang mga magulang ay kinupkop siya ni Victorina.

Hinalikan din ni Paulita si Mila sa magkabilang pisngi at binati siya nito “Hi, Mila!” “Ako na ang bahala sakaniya, tita” sabi nito sabay hila sakaniya papasok ng bahay.

Hindi inakala ni Mila na magiging ganito kagaan ang pagsalubong sa kaniya ng mga kamag-anak, ngunit masaya siya at nabawasan na ang kaniyang kaba. Pinasyal siya ni Paulita sa mala-mansyon nilang bahay at buong mag-hapon silang naghuntahan nito. Nakaramdam si Mila ng tuwa sapagkat ngayon lamang siya nakaranas na magkaroon ng tila-kapatid na babae. Bukod sa maganda, ay matalino din si Paulita. Habulin ito ng mga lalaki at ikinasaya naman ni Paulita ito. Siya ay may pagka-makasarili at matatawag na isang liberated na babae, ngunit mabuti naman ang puso nito.

Huling pinakita ni Paulita kay Mila ang kaniyang magiging kuwarto at iniwan na siya nito upang makapagpahinga. Napakalaki ng bagong kuwarto niya ngayon kumpara sa kuwarto niya sa probinsya; malambot ang kama at mayroon siyang sariling palikuran. Ginamit niya agad ang bigay na cellphone ni Paulita upang balitaan at kamustahin ang kaniyang kuya at ina.

Pag sapit ng alas siyete ng gabi ay pinatawag siya ng tiya upang mag-hapunan.

“My dear! Halika na at kumain na tayo. Nagpahanda ako ng marami para sa pagdating mo. Sayang lang at hindi makakadating ang tito Art mo” sabi ni Victorina.

“Tita, pinapunta ko pala si Miguel para makilala na din niya si Mila” sagot ni Paulita.

“Buti naman at nami-miss ko na din siya. Hindi na siya madalas dumadalaw dito eh.” “Ah busy lang po sa company nila, tita.”

Habang kumakain ay nagpapakuwento sina Victorina at Paulita kay Mila tungkol sa kaniyang ina at kuya, pati na rin tungkol sa buhay niya sa probinsya. Hindi makapaniwala ang dalawa nang sabihin ni Mila na wala pa siyang nagiging nobyo at na wala din itong balak magkaroon hanggang sa makapagtapos siya ng kolehiyo. Sa kalagitnaan ng usapan nila’y may dumating na matipunong lalaki na tsinito. Agad tumayo si Paulita at hinalikan sa pisngi ang binata.

“Good evening, tita” bati nito at nagmano kay Victorina.

“Miggy, siya si Mila. Yung sinasabi ko sayo’ng pinsan ko galing province” sabi ni Paulita.

“Mila, this is Miguel, my boyfriend” tuloy nito. “Hello, Mila” sabi ng binata sabay hawak sa kaniyang kamay upang halikan ito.

Hindi alam ni Mila ang kaniyang gagawin sapagkat nagulat ito sa ginawa ni Miguel. Hindi ganoon ang kagawian sa kaniyang kinalakihan kaya naman hindi niya alam kung anong mararamdaman.

“Babaero ka talaga! Sorry, Mila. Wag mo na pansinin yun, palabiro talaga ‘tong si Miggy” wika ni Paulita.

Si Miguel Lim ay laki sa isang mayamang Chinese na pamilya. Ang ama nito ay may-ari ng isang kumpanyang gumagawa ng plastic. Mayaman ito at kahali-halina kaya naman gustong-gusto siya ni Paulita.

Bumalik na sila pag-kain at paghuntahan. Nabanggit ni Mila na pupunta siya sa kaniyang papasukang kolehiyo bukas upang ayusin ang kaniyang enrollment. Nagsabi naman si Paulita na sasamahan siya nito para hindi maligaw sa lungsod si Mila. Natapos din ang unang araw ni Mila sa Maynila. Naisip nitong hindi naman pala ganoon kahirap pakisamahan ang kaniyang mga bagong kasama sa bahay, kung tutuusin ay napakamabuti pa nga sakanya ng mga ito. Lumuwag na ang loob ni Mila at nakatulog na ito ng mahimbing.

Kinabukasan, sinamahan siya ni Paulita papuntang UP Manila upang asikasuhin ang kaniyang enrollment. Sa gulat ni Mila ay nandoon din si Miguel at siya pa’ng naghatid sa mag-pinsan. Nang matapos na niya ang mga kailangan gawin ay sinabi niya kay Paulita na mag-isa na lamang siyang uuwi at gusto pa niyang mag-libot. Sumakay ng jeep si Mila papuntang Roxas Boulevard sa may Malate upang matanaw ang paglubog ng araw. Naghalo ang kulay asul, lila, pula, at kahel sa langit. Gayundin ang mga tao sa paligid ni Mila; may mga mag-nobyo, may mga batang nagbebenta sa kalye o takatak boys, at meron ding mga nag-jojogging. Iba’t-ibang uri ng tao na mayroong iba’t-ibang kwento sa buhay, pero pare-pareho lang na namumuhay sa lungsod.

Nang tuluyan nang mawala ang araw, bumiyahe na pauwi si Mila. Unang beses nito naranasan ang hirap ng pag-commute sa Maynila at tila magkakasakit ito pag-uwi ng bahay. Naisip niyang sana’y sumabay nalang siya kina Paulita, ngunit naisip din ni Mila na dapat na siyang masanay dito. Isa pa’t nagkaroon siya ng pagkakataong makita kung paano ang mga tao sa lungsod. Laging sinasabi ng mga kaibigan niya noon sa probinsya na pangarap nilang mamuhay sa Maynila dahil maganda daw ang buhay sa dito. Ngunit, sa pag-biyahe ni Mila sa lungsod ay nakita niyang hindi lamang puro ginhawa ang dinaranas ng mga nakikipagsapalaran dito.

Lumaon ang ilang mga araw at dumating na din ang unang araw ng pasukan ni Mila. Ibang-iba ang paaralan dito kung ihahambing sa kinalakihan ni Mila, kaya naman lubos na nanibago ito sa kaniyang pagpasok sa kolehiyo. Nakaranas ng culture shock ang dalaga sapagkat ngayon lamang ito nakakilala ng mga taong mayroong ibang paniniwala at kaisipan sa kanya. Nasanay kasi siya sa mga kaklase at pamilya niya na iisa lamang ang mga pinaniniwalaan sa buhay. Nakaramdam ng takot si Mila sapagkat ayaw niyang makaapekto ang mga pananaw ng ibang tao sa kaniyang kinalakihang mga prinsipyo at paniniwala. Nagkaroon siya ng mga asignatura, tulad ng Pilosopiya, at ng mga dalubguro na talagang humamon sa kaniyang mga paniniwala. Kung minsan nga ay nahuhuli ni Mila ang kaniyang sarili na nag-aalinlangan na at tinatanong ang sarili kung ano ang mga pinaniniwalaan nito at kung ang mga ito ba ay tama o mali. Bagamat, alam ni Mila na kasama ito sa mga hamon ng mamumuhay dito sa kaniyang bagong mundo.

Isang araw, niyaya siya ni Paulita na lumabas kasama ng nobyo nito. Pumayag naman si Mila dahil masaya kasama si Paulita at magaan ang loob niya kay Miguel. Pumunta sila sa isang kapehan sa may Makati at doon sila nagpalipas ng oras habang nagkukwentuhan.

“Uy diba sabi mo sakin dati idol mo si Reggie Layag?” tanong ni Paulita kay Mila.

“Si Regino Layag? As in the writer or journalist or whatever? sabay pasok ni Miguel.

“Ah oo. Fan ako ng mga write-ups niya. Saka kakilala daw kasi siya ng papa ko dati kaya gusto ko siya sanang makilala” sagot ni Mila.

Ngumiti si Miguel at sinabing “Consider me your lucky charm. Good friends sila ng dad ko and if you want, I can arrange for your meeting”.

Gustong yakapin ni Mila si Miguel sa sobrang tuwa nito ngunit “Talaga? Pangarap ko talaga yun! Thank you, Miguel” na lamang ang nasabi niya.

“Ikaw pa ba? Malakas ka sakin eh.” Tinignan ni Paulita ng masama ang nobyo kaya naman dinagdagan ni Miguel ang sinabi niya “Syempre pinsan ka ng girlfriend ko!”

Napakaraming mga gawain ni Mila sa kolehiyo kaya naman nang magkaroon ito ng libreng oras ay agad siyang pumunta sa opisina ng pahayagan kung saan nag-tatrabaho si Regino Layag. Hinatid siya ni Miguel at ipinakilala kay Reggie.

“Aba syempre hindi ko malilimutan ang papa mo lalo na’t kapangalan ko pa siya, Regino Asuncion tama ba?”

Tuwang tuwa si Mila dahil sa wakas ay nakilala na niya ang idolo niya at kilala pa nito ang papa niya. Iniwan na sila ni Miguel at inanyayahan naman ni Reggie si Mila na mag kape.

“Grabe ang tagal na din palang wala ng papa mo no? Dalawang beses ko lang nakatrabaho ‘yun pero dahil sobrang sipag at husay sumulat ng papa mo ay hindi ko na siya nakalimutan” wika ni Reggie.

“Sayang nga po at hindi ko na siya nakilala. Kaya po pangarap ko din ang maging isang mamamahayag para maituloy ko ang trabaho niya at kahit papaano ay maging proud siya sa’kin” sagot ni Mila.

Saglit lamang sila nakapag usap nito sapagkat nagmamadali na din si Reggie.

“Sige basta ipadala mo nalang sa’kin ang mga sample write-up mo at titignan ko kung maipapasok kita sa trabaho”. Laking pasalamat ni Mila sa batikang mamamahayag at nangako itong hindi niya bibiguin si Reggie.

Ilang buwan din ang lumipas at hindi parin nakatatanggap si Mila ng balita mula kay Reggie. Pagdating ng bakasyon ni Mila ay umuwi ito ng probinsiya para makasama ang kaniyang pamilya sa pasko. Ngunit, sa Maynila na nito sasalubungin ang bagong taon sapagkat pasukan na agad nila pagtapos nito. Sinama siya ng kaniyang tiya Victorina at si Paulita sa Binondo kung saan sila namili ng mga kakailanganin sa bisperas ng bagong taon. Samu’t saring lucky charms at maswerteng prutas ang pinagbibili ng tiya niya na tila gusto lamang gumastos nang gumastos. Niyaya ni Paulita si Mila na mamili ng mga damit na susuotin nila sa bagong taon at iniwan na muna nila ang tiya kasama ang mga alalay nito. Noong naglalakad sila sa isang mall ay may lalaking humablot sa kamay ni Paulita.

“Paulita, pwede ba tayo’ng mag-usap?” tanong ng binata.

Inalis ni Paulita ang hawak ng binata at sinabing “Wala na tayong dapat pag-usapan. Please wag mo na akong guluhin” malungkot na sagot ni Paulita.

Nang makalayo na sila’y tinanong ni Mila ang pinsan, “Sino yun? Kaibigan mo?”

Nag-alangan pa saglit si Paulita pero sinagot na din ang pinsan, “Wala yun. Dati ko lang na ka-M.U. Kami pero hindi kami, gets mo?” sagot nito.

“Parang may gusto parin siya sayo at parang ikaw din, ano ba’ng nangyari?”

“To be honest gusto ko parin talaga si Isagani. Pero wala akong future sa kaniya. Mahirap lang ang pamilya niya at sumasama pa siya sa mga aktibista. Kaya si Miguel nalang ang pinili ko” wika ni Paulita.

Taliwas man sa paniniwala ni Mila ay naiintidihan niya ang pag-iisip ng pinsan, alam niyang gusto lamang ni Paulita kung ano’ng mas makabubuti para sa kaniyang kinabukasan. Ngunit para kay Mila, hindi niya ipagpapalit ang kaniyang kaligayahan para lamang sa ginhawa ng buhay.

Pebrero na nang makatanggap ng tawag si Mila mula kay Reggie. Pinapunta siya nito sa kaniyang opisina at agad namang nagtungo doon si Mila. Ibinahagi ni Reggie ang balita kay Mila na interesado ang pahayagan na tanggapin ang dalaga. Doble-doble ang biyayang natanggap ni Mila dahil bukod sa pagtanggap sa kaniya ng pahayagan ay magiging katrabaho pa nito ang idolo bilang junior or associate writer nito.

Si Reggie Layag ay kilala dahil sa kaniyang mga kontrobersyal na dokumentaryong naglalarawan at tumatalakay sa mga kwentong buhay ng mga pangkaraniwang Pilipino. Bilang associate writer ni Reggie, tungkulin ni Mila na samahan ito sa pagkakalap ng mga datos para sa kasalukuyang proyekto ni Reggie. Masayang masaya ang dalaga sa kaniyang bagong trabaho dahil bukod sa natutupad na nito ang kaniyang pangarap, nalilibot pa ni Mila ang kabuuan ng lungsod. Tuwing pagtapos ng pasok ni Mila sa UP ay sinusundo siya ng team ni Reggie upang magpunta sa iba’t-iba lugar sa Maynila at magsagawa ng mga panayam. Hindi inakala ni Mila na mahirap pala talaga ang trabaho ng mga mamamahayag, lalo na ang mga lumilikha ng mga dokumentaryo. Dahil ang paksa ng dokumentaryo ni Reggie ay ang underground life sa lungsod, sinama nito si Mila sa mga iskwater sa kung saan marami ang lulong sa droga at sangkot sa drug business. Kung minsan naman ay kumausap sila ng mga batang pulubi na sangkot sa mga sindikatong gumagamit ng mga bata upang manglimos ng pera.

Sa kanilang pagsasaliksik tungkol sa mga totoong kwento ng mga Pilipinong namumuhay sa underground life ay unting-unting bumukas ang mga mata ni Mila sa realidad ng buhay sa lungsod. Alam niya na mali ang pamumuhay ng kanilang mga kinakapanayam ngunit sa pakikipag-usap sa kanila ay nagkaroon ng malalim na pagintindi si Mila. Tunay na mahirap mamuhay sa lungsod lalo na kung salat sa pera at sa pagkakataon kaya nagagawa ng mga itong lumabag sa batas upang panatilihin ang kanilang sarili at mga pamilya. Kung noon ay napakakitid ng pagiisip ng dalaga tungkol sa kung ano ang tama at mali, ngayon ay malabo na ang linyang naghihiwalay sa moral at imoral. Hindi mapigilan ni Mila na batikusin ang kaniyang sariling paniniwala pati ang mga prinsipyong kinalakihan nito dahil naiintidihan na nito na ang mundo ay hindi lamang nahahati sa pula at sa puti.

Isang gabi, kinita ni Mila si Reggie sa Malate dahil sinabi nitong makikipanayam sila sa isang kaibigan nito na nagtatrabaho sa isang bar.

“Gay bar? Papapasukin po kaya ako diyan, Sir Reggie?”

“Oo akong bahala sayo! Kung hindi, edi sa labas nalang natin kakausapin si Carlo” sagot nito.

Haharangin sana ng bantay si Mila pero inabutan agad ito ni Reggie ng pera upang papasukin silang dalawa. Pag pasok ay sinalubong si Mila ng makapal ng usok mula sa dami ng naninigarilyo sa loob at ng malakas na dagung-dong ng tugtog sa loob ng bar. Hinatak siya ni Reggie papunta sa isang maliit na silid kung saan sila hinihintay ni Carlo. Napakamasayahin ng binata at hindi inakala ni Mila na magaling ito mag-Ingles.

Nang matapos ang interview ay hinatid sila ni Carlo palabas ng bar at dito nakasalubong ni Mila ay kaniyang tiyo Art na papasok ng gay bar. Nagulat ang tiyo ng makita doon ang dalaga at kita sa mga mata ang takot. Sinabi ni Reggie na mauuna na itong umalis upang makapag-usap ang dalawa. Nalaman ni Mila na bading ang tiyo at mas nagulat ito nang malaman niya na alam pala ng kaniyang tiya Victorina.

“Okay lang po sa kaniya?” tanong ni Mila.

“Pera lang naman ang habol sa akin ng tita mo. Alam ko yun. At ako, I only married her para tantanan na ako ng pamilya’t mga kaibigan ko” sagot ni Arturo.

Gaya ng sa pinsan niya’ng si Paulita, alam ni Mila na mali ang ginagawa ng kaniyang tiya at asawa nito at hindi siya sang-ayon dito. Ngunit, gaya din kay Paulita ay naiintindihan ni Mila ang mag-asawang de Espadaña. Mali ngunit tama. Tama ngunit mali.

Pag pasok ng Hunyo ay lumuwag na ang iskedyul ni Mila dahil maaga nitong tinapos ang kaniyang mga gawain sa kolehiyo. Kaya naman agad niyang tinawagan si Reggie na mayroon siyang libreng oras para sumama sa mamamahayag.

“Uy naku pasensya na! May meeting kasi ako ngayon at hindi kita masasamahan. Kaya lang kailangan na talaga natin yung interview with Miyuki. Okay lang ba na ikaw nalang muna?” tanong ni Reggie.

Pumayag naman si Mila at pinuntahan na nito ang address ng club na binigay ni Reggie. Alas diyes ng gabi na nang makarating si Mila dahil sa lala ng trapik. Pag pasok ay nagtanong siya sa bartender kung naroon ba si Miyuki.

“Pasabi nalang po na kakilala ako ni Reggie Layag” bilin ni Mila.

Si Miyuki ay isang tinatawag na babaeng mababa ang lipad at pumayag itong magpa-interview tungkol sa kaniyang trabaho at sa kung paano gumagana ang business ng prostitusyon. Pag balik ng bartender, sinabi nito na hintayin na lamang ni Mila si Miyuki sa labas at mayroon pa itong customer.

Mahigit isa’t kalahating oras na’ng naghihintay si Mila ngunit wala parin si Miyuki. Uuwi na sana ito dahil aabutan na siya ng madaling araw nang may sumitsit sa kaniya. Bumilis ang tibok ng puso niya sa kaba dahil baka kung sinong loko loko ang lumapit sa kaniya.

“Mila” tawag nito.

Nakilala ni Mila ang boses ng lalaki at pag lingon niya ay si Miguel nga ang tumawag sa kaniya. Bahagyang nawala ang kaba ni Mila ngunit nagtaka ito kung bakit naroon si Miguel.

“Anong ginagawa mo dito, Miguel?”

“I should be the one asking you that question” nang-aasar na sagot nito.

“So¸ ito ba yung part-time job na sinasabi mo?” tanong ni Miguel.

“Ah oo. Mag-isa lang ako ngayon kasi – ”

Napatigil si Mila nang maintindihan niya ang ibig sabihin ni Miguel. Hindi nito alam na nandoon lamang si Mila para makipanayam kaya naman inakala nitong nagtatrabaho si Mila bilang escort. Magpapaliwanag pa sana si Mila ngunit hinila na siya ni Miguel papunta sa kotse nito.

“Hahatid na kita pauwi don’t worry” nakangising sabi ni Miguel.

Hindi mapakali si Mila habang nasa kotse siya ni Miguel. Iniisip nito kung talaga bang nag-aalala lang ang binata dahil gabi na’t nasa labas pa Mila o kung iniisip ni Miguel na siya nga’y isang escort at may balak itong isumbong siya sa tiya. Hindi din maintindihan ni Mila kung bakit siya ay nakararamdam ng kaunting tuwa na magkasama silang dalawa ni Miguel. Sa gulat ni Mila ay inakbayan siya ni Miguel habang ito’y nagmamaneho.

“Nilalamig ka ata?” pang-asar nito.

“Okay lang ako” sagot ni Mila sabay tanggal ng braso ni Miguel.

Hinawakan naman ni Miguel ang kamay ng dalaga.

“I know may gusto ka din sa’kin. Ayaw mo lang ipahalata kasi boyfriend ako ni Paulita” malumanay na sabi nito.

Nag tatalo ang tama at mali sa isip ni Mila. Hindi nito alam kung matutuwa ba ito na alam ni Miguel ang kaniyang pagtingin o kung magagalit ito dahil pinagtataksilan ni Miguel si Paulita. Tinanggal ulit ni Mila ang pagkakahawak ng binata sa kaniya na siya namang tinawanan ni Miguel.

Nang malapit na sila sa bahay ni Mila ay biglang niliko ni Miguel ang kotse papunta sa madalim na lugar. Sa kaba ni Mila ay sinubukan niyang tawagan si Paulita, ngunit inagaw at binato ni Miguel ang cellphone sa likod ng kotse.

“’Di ba gusto mo din ako? This will only be our secret” sabi ni Miguel at sinubukan nitong halikan ang dalaga. Umiiwas si Mila ngunit mahigpit ang hawak sa kaniya ni Miguel.

“Ang arte mo! ‘Diba ito naman talaga gusto mo? Nag tatrabaho ka nga dun sa bar eh!” sigaw ni Miguel habang pinipilit ang sarili sa dalaga.

Sa lubos na takot, galit, at pandidiri ni Mila ay nahampas niya ang ulo ni Miguel sa salamin ng kotse. Nakalabas ito ng kotse at iniwang duguan si Miguel. Agad na tumakbo pauwi si Mila at sinalubong siya ng buong pamilya. Nanginginig at umiiyak si Mila kaya naman niyakap ito ng pinsan.

“Oh my god my dear! Ano’ng nangyari sa’yo?! Art, kunin mo yung sasakyan may dugo yung kamay niya!” sigaw ni Victorina.

Bigla namang tumakbo papasok si Miguel. Nanginginig sa galit at duguan ang ulo nito kaya naman napatili si Paulita at Victorina. Sa galit ng binata dahil tinanggihan siya ni Mila at dahil hinampas nito ang ulo niya sa sasakyan ay sinabi niyang kasalanan ni Mila ang lahat. Binaliktad nito ang kwento at sinabing pinipilit ni Mila ang sarili sa kaniya at nagalit ito nang tanggihan siya ni Miguel.

“Hindi totoo ‘yan! Paulita, maniwala ka! Hindi ko gagawin sa’yo ang sinasabi niya!” sigaw ni Mila habang patuloy na umiiyak.

“Paulita, get rid of that leech of a cousin!” utos ni Miguel.

Alam ni Paulita na hindi totoo ang bintang ng nobyo dahil alam niyang may pagnanais ang nobyo kay Mila noon pa man at may tiwala ito sa pinsan niya.

“Paulita! Palayasin mo ‘yan!” sigaw ulit ni Miguel.

“Tita, pag hindi niyo pinalayas yan kayo ang sasagot kay Dad!” banta nito.

Walang nagawa si Paulita dahil hindi nito kayang mawala ang nobyo. Alam niyang hindi na siya makakahanap ng kapalit nito kapag sinuway niya si Miguel. Wala na ding nagawa ang mag-asawang de Espadaña sapagkat hawak ng ama ni Miguel ang kalahati ng kumpanya ni Arturo.

Kusa nalang na umalis si Mila upang hindi na maging pabigat pa sa pamilya ng kaniyang tiya. Hanggang umaga ay walang badya ang pagtulo ng luha ni Mila sapagkat nag-aalala ito para sa kaniyang pamilya sa probinsya. Ano na lamang ang sasabihin ng kaniyang ina kapag nabalitaan nito ang nangyari sa nag-iisa niyang dalaga? Maipapaliwanag ba niya kay Gloria at Luis na sinuway niya ang bilin nilang ‘wag niyang ituloy ang pagiging mamamahayag? Paano na ang kaniyang pag-aaral na siyang pinunta ni Mila dito sa Maynila? Saan na siya titira?

Ang daming tanong ang bumagabag sa isip ng dalaga habang iniimpake nito ang kaniyang mga gamit. Bago siya umalis ay binigyan siya ng tiyo ng sapat na pera upang makahanap ng lilipatan. Muling humingi ng tawad ang pamilya kay Mila ngunit hindi na nagbago ang desisyon nito at naintindihan naman ni Mila.

Naisip nitong umuwi na lamang sa probinsya ngunit alam ni Mila na kahit siya’y bumalik sa dati niyang buhay ay hindi na niya mababalik sa kaniyang dating sarili. Hindi na siya ang Mila noong unang tapak niya sa lungsod. Tuluyan na siyang binago ng kaniyang pakikipagsapalaran sa Maynila. Bagamat ganoon ang kaniyang sinapit ay nagpapasalamat pa’rin si Mila na nabuksan na ang kaniyang mga mata sa realidad ng buhay at masaya itong natupad niya ang kaniyang pangarap.

Tumunog ang cellphone ni Mila at nakita niyang tumatawag si Reggie. Nang magkita na silay ay sinabi ni Mila kay Reggie ang lahat lahat ng nangyari sa kaniya tulad ng kung paano mag-kwento ang mga kinakapanayam nila.

Sa paglahad ni Mila ng kaniyang kwento ay unting-unti na ring nabawasan ang bigat ng loob niya at muling nakahinga ng maluwag. Naisip niyang ganito din ang nararamdaman ng mga ini-interview nila – nakararanas din ang mga ito ng kahit kaunting kapayapaan ng isip sa pagbahagi ng kanilang mga problema sa buhay dahil alam nilang mayroong nais makinig, nais umintindi, at nais ipabatid ang kanilang mga saloobin. Kaya naman nagkaroon ng mas malalim na pagpapahalaga si Mila sa kaniyang trabaho bilang mamamahayag – upang makinig, umintindi, at magsilbing boses sa mga tao.
