9:05 PM

Hey. Training's done. I was going back to the condo but I stayed behind to watch Chini instead.

Are you home?

hi

yes

chini? your younger sister?

Yeah, she has dance training with Ace.

Ace Gil.

Sabay na lang kaming uuwi.

What are you up to?

magrereview dapat ako for my socsci class at 8:30

but when i looked at the clock it was 8:43

so i needed to start at 9

but now it's 9:05

and now i have to wait for 9:30

i have 25 minutes. you can speak.

25 minutes. I'll try to be worth it.

I said Reporter Barbie wasn't an insult and I meant it.

pano yon hindi naging insult

I meant it as an observation.

A stupid one, but an observation nonetheless.

I mean, Barbie has a career for everything.

Doctor Barbie. Astronaut Barbie, Lawyer Barbie.

You were Reporter Barbie.

You walked into that presscon looking like you already had a column somewhere, or like you already belonged to a real newsroom despite being a freshman. Fully put together with a recorder. I could already tell by then you weren't putting up with any BS.

And so my brain went: that's literally Reporter Barbie. Like she could be on the box. She looks exactly like what a professional journalist is supposed to look like.

I said it to my teammate without thinking, I didn't know the mic was already on.

Akin 'yon. Sorry.

Yvanna? You still there?

I still have 18 minutes.

yeah fuck i feel bad for getting offended

that's not what i thought you meant and i feel terrible for assuming

i'm sorry too.

We really started on the wrong foot here.

i thought you meant like. that i was just playing reporter/journalist, not being one. like decorative press. pretty but hollow, no substance, reduced to how i look

and yeah first year pa lang ako non but i wanted to be taken seriously. and then the first thing the star of the team calls me is Barbie

I've always taken your writing seriously. Which is saying something because you've made my life considerably harder with it.

But I understand it's part of the job.

i wasn't doing my job today

I'm aware. Thank you.

The Team Edward shirt was cute. Very not Reporter Barbie.

you weren't very basketball captain either?!

Hindi ko suot jersey ko araw-araw, Yvanna. Hahahaha.

i know but it was

disorienting

very not 'vargas the difficult, stonewalling, read-receipting asshole'

i'm trying so hard to reconcile the vargas i've always seen at games and presscons with the one i had lunch with today

The former is captain and a known basketball player with the whole country watching his every move.

The latter is just a regular person.
