Wedding Dress (2022)

[bunniefuu]

Joanne!

- Joanne!

- Hey. What is it?

Joanne! It's Susan!

What happened to Susan?

Is she okay?

She's not okay!

She's an idiot!

She left behind the

veil and bouquet!

You have to go, hurry!

What the... How did this happen?

I told you she can't

be trusted on her own!

Go on, hurry!

I have to fetch...

Go on, please, hurry!

Jesus Christ!

Come here!

It's raining!

I'm telling you, from now on

you're not leaving the

house without an umbrella!

Yes, ma'am.

Smart-a*s.

It won't start?

You really need

to get a new one.

Nah, it's just

throwing a tantrum.

See?

Sis, where's my veil?

It's on its way,

ma'am, just relax.

Just relax, babe.

- The wedding's started!

- You might trip!

Don't get tense,

it's on its way.

Where are you?

Hurry up with my veil!

Yes, ma'am, just relax.

Wait for me here,

alright, sweetie?

- Yes, Mom.

- I'll be quick, stay there.

Sorry, sorry, it's here!

It was pouring at Legarda.

Good thing it's sunny here!

Alright, alright,

give it to me...

Mom, I can take it from here.

I'll take it from here.

Are you sure? Alright.

Take care, okay?

Mom, someone might see us!

And so?

You're my baby!

I'm going to go ahead now.

Okay, okay.

Mom...

Why did you even

trip a while ago?

Well, it's because...

Gosh, it's because

you're so clumsy!

Ah, whatever!

Just drop it!

Alright, let's go!

Wait a minute! Just wait.

Don't reject me so quickly.

At least get to know me.

I'm sure you'll like me.

Durian... you know how

you don't like Durian at first?

It has an awkward taste,

but slowly...

Hello?

Hello.

What are you doing here, huh,

kid?

Are you crying, sir?

No!

I can see it... your eyes are red!

No, I'm getting sore

eyes! See, here! Here!

Do you want me to infect you?

Why are you laughing?

What's so funny?

Because you're a karate teacher,

but you're a crybaby!

I told you, I'm not crying!

Smart-a*s.

Are you enrolled

in my karate class?

Karate class?

Isn't that why

you're here? Look.

Wow, there's a class here?

Wow!

Why aren't there any people?

They're still on their way.

Why?

I want to learn karate!

Hey, this isn't free, alright?

Maybe if the others see that

you have students as well,

they might enroll, too!

Wow, you're a sharp

one, aren't you?

Don't think you're

so lucky, though!

I guess this is why you

got rejected by that woman!

Because...

Because? What?

You can't give people a chance.

That's why

she didn't give

you a chance either.

Ouch!

Smile, sweetie, smile!

Mom, just use this one instead!

Alright.

Just place it there.

Thank you, mister.

Wow

Do you want

anything else, sweetie?

Just order what you want.

No thanks, this is

more than enough.

My tummy's going

to burst with all this.

Really?

Mom, - Yes?

Do you have a lot of money?

Ah, we have a little extra.

I just got paid and Mary

Jane gave me a bonus, too.

I'm so full.

Eat some more!

I received 3000 pesos, ma'am.

The change is yours, okay?

Thank you, ma'am.

How much was the change?

Ah, 300 pesos.

Wow!

That's how it should be, sweetie!

You should share your blessings.

Mom Yes?

Maybe you want to share

some blessings with me?

What?

Let's buy some new video games!

Come on, then!

Let's buy your new video game!

Hurry!

Come on, hurry up!

Get it, mom!

Let's move there, mommy!

What happened?

I told you, mom,

that TV isn't good anymore.

Sir, here. Put it over here.

Just place it here, please.

Wow!

Is that new?

Yeah!

Now I'm sure that's

going to be crystal clear!

Mom,

why don't you include these

panties into the washing machine?

First of all,

the garter will get loose.

Secondly, you need to learn

how to wash your own underwear.

Why?

Well,

when you get your

monthly period,

or when you have a husband,

who's going to wash

your underwear?

Mom, I told you I don't

want to get married.

I don't want to get my

period, either! Yucky!

Next time, you have to

do your own hair, alright?

I don't want to.

My arms get sore.

Ah, is that so?

You're just gonna braid

it, it won't take that long!

This girl!

You have to learn these things.

Mom

it's nothing.

You should come here more often.

Your house is nearby

but I barely get to see you.

Sorry, brother.

It's been so busy at the shop.

Sometimes I don't even

get to pick up Carla on time.

I don't want to bother anyone.

Here. I still have

some fried chicken.

I warmed it up, too.

Eat up.

You should eat your vegetables.

Joey!

Carla, he's right.

You should eat

what's on the table.

But I wasn't asking

for fried chicken.

But you were frowning!

Joey, stop it.

You should eat.

Excuse me, for a bit.

Carla, come here.

You're embarrassing me in front

of your Uncle Jun and Aunt Heidi.

Can you please behave?

I was just looking at

the chicken because

I know Auntie makes

really good fried chicken.

I wish you would

cook at home, too.

This is our latest design!

How much is this one?

120,000 pesos.

So expensive!

Ma'am!

This gown's cathedral

train alone is already 10 feet!

And the material is silk!

Plus, just look at the

details of the beadwork!

But we also have

lower-priced ones.

Here, if you look at this rack

This rack has budget gowns.

They're cheaper.

Being a bride is a

once-in-a-lifetime experience.

So if I were you, I

would get this one!

Right?

Ma'am, what's

your prettiest gown?

Definitely the custom made ones!

Here's the other sample designs!

It's so pretty!

Babe, do you see

anything you like?

I want this one.

Sorry,

someone already owns this.

But I can make a design for you!

Huh?

But this is the one!

This is the one I really like!

Can't you give it to me?

- No.

- Yes!

Excuse us.

What?

Give her the design!

It's sure income for us.

I really can't. It's mine!

Do you even have a boyfriend?

No.

Okay. Are you getting married?

No.

Then give it!

I really can't give

it, Mary Jane!

Can't I go on leave for a while?

What?

Go and pick the

part that you want.

It's good, right?

Yes, mom.

But Auntie Heidi's

is much better.

Well, home cooking

has a different taste to it.

Mom, why don't you like cooking?

Well, I'm usually very tired

when I come home from work.

And when I get home,

I don't get to cook.

You know, I'm a better

cook than your auntie Heidi.

Do you want a taste

while I'm on leave?

Why are you on leave?

Nothing,

I just haven't used

my off days as much.

Besides, while

it's your sembreak,

maybe we can hang out more.

Can we go to the beach?

Of course!

We'll go first thing tomorrow!

Yay!

Mom, you don't need

to cook anymore,

we'll just buy food there!

I'll take care of it!

Okay, just remember...

One of the secrets of a

delicious and tasty fried chicken

is to soak it in a salt and

water solution overnight.

This helps to loosen the

muscle fibers of the chicken,

and makes it juicy and tender!

And don't forget to add spices.

Wow!

Are you cooking, mom?

Of course!

Mom's fried chicken!

You do know how to cook!

Of course!

Fried chicken is easy,

you just need the secret

to make sure that the

chicken is tender and tasty!

You need salt

and water solution overnight.

This way

it will help loosen the

muscle fiber of the chicken.

Like this.

It will make the

chicken juicy and tender.

Then you add some spices!

You're amazing, mom!

I'm so excited to eat tomorrow!

You're excited?

Then you should go to bed

because we leave early tomorrow.

Okay, mom, I'm just

going to go feed the fish.

Okay.

Sweetie, we have an

early day tomorrow.

Yes, mom.

Good night!

Good night!

It's alright, mom.

Let's just have a picnic in bed.

What can you see over

there in the far south?

The sky there

seems kind of bright.

That means

there's no rain there!

Let's go?

Hey, slow down!

You might finish it before

we get to the beach!

Sorry, mom!

It's really good!

Don't worry.

We'll just buy some

burgers on the way.

Mom,

I forgot to ask permission

from my adviser!

No, it's alright.

I told her your grandma died.

Mom!

My adviser already knows

that both my grandmas are dead!

Why did you lie?

I didn't say they died recently!

You're dead meat, mom!

I'll take care of it!

Let's go.

Why are you looking

at me like that?

Mom...

I wish that, last year,

last, last year

and last, last, last year

we did things like this.

What is it?

Nothing.

Aww

Your dad is trying

to send a message.

That was our theme song.

What do you mean 'theme song'?

That was what was

playing during our first date.

He even bought

me the cassette tape;

With matching flowers

and chocolates, too!

That was when he

was courting me,

up until he proposed.

It's too bad.

I don't remember Papa

He loved you so much.

Mom

Are you still sad about it?

I'm always going to miss him,

but...

that's how I know

how much I love him.

It's alright, mom.

I'm here for you

and I'll never leave you!

Mom!

You're it!

No, you're it!

One, two, three!

Make sure I look pretty!

Of course!

Alright, now take my picture..

One, two

Let's take a picture

of us together.

How are we going to do that?

There's no one

to take our picture.

Here, let me. I'll hold it.

We might not show up there, mom.

Let's do it here

instead on my phone.

One, two

So cute!

When you're done,

we're just going

to rest for a bit

then we'll go back.

I don't want to go home yet.

We might get stuck in traffic.

We don't want to keep your Uncle

Jun and Auntie Heidi waiting.

It's important to always

arrive on time, sweetie.

But you're always

late in picking me up.

Yes, and that's my mistake.

Sorry, I'm only human,

and I have to make a living.

Mom

What?

Thank you.

For what?

For spending time with me.

Is Joanne coming?

It's always so difficult

dealing with her!

She has no sense of time!

Always out of it!

Joanne is a single mother.

She won't listen.

Mother didn't approve

of her husband.

It's not her fault that

her husband died early!

But it's her fault that mother

died of a broken heart!

Don't you dare put that on her!

She's just a little late

and you're blaming

her for everything?

Joanne has a job!

She is both mother

and father to her child.

I hope you can be

considerate to your own sister!

I just feel bad for the

kids, they're hungry.

Joanne's coming,

she's on her way.

Stop making it an issue.

Careful.

Big bro, sorry we

got here pretty late.

Let's pray.

Our Father in heaven,

we thank you for bringing

us siblings together,

as a family,

to celebrate the

birthday of our mother.

Thank you for blessing us

with such a loving mother,

and even if

she's no longer here,

we know that,

every day,

she's guiding all of us here.

- Joanne!

- Joanne?

Mom!

We're getting in touch

with Dr. Ian Villanueva,

her oncologist.

Oncologist?

Wait a minute...

What's the meaning of this?

I'm sorry, I have to ask

permission from your sister first

if I can disclose

her condition to you.

She has gastric cancer.

Oh my god!

Why did you only

tell me this now?

Because I don't want

to add to your worries.

You didn't want this.

I'm always causing problems.

How can I help?

Carla

Don't tell Carla yet.

Can you manage?

Yes.

Just bring Carla home tomorrow,

I think...

I'll feel better by then.

Remember, if you need

anything, just tell me alright?

Just call.

Thank you, big bro.

You can fight this!

Just stay strong.

Karate class, enroll now!

Karate class, enroll now!

Won't even glance at me!

Karate class, enroll now!

Karate... hey!

Your style's all wrong!

You again?

You sure got a

mouth on you, kid!

I just want to help you, sir.

But if you don't

want help, fine.

Alright, alright!

Stop acting cool.

Here you go.

If you don't hand out

everything, we're done.

Can I give a suggestion?

What if

you put candies on the

flyers so they'll take it?

It's like you're courting them.

But you have to

do it after school.

Not in the morning, since

they're running late to class.

Ah, jeez.

This is why you got rejected.

Hey!

Hey! Kid!

I heard that!

Jeez

Alright, fine.

I agree to give you lessons.

But...

you have to tell

your mommy, alright?

Carla.

Why haven't you been

attending ballet class?

You're scared of us, aren't you?

I'm not scared of you.

I just don't want to do ballet.

Okay!

Oh, this is good!

It's my favorite!

Mm, delicious!

Aww, she's packing

up, what a baby!

Wow, what a sore loser!

I can't believe you're

so easy to rile up!

What a baby!

This is your favorite?

Here. It's all yours.

What a sore loser,

she walked out!

Sore loser!

Okay! Okay, Mrs.

Belmonte, I'll see you there

I'll be there soon!

Mary Jane?

What?

Can I go on a long break?

Again?

I wanted to get some rest.

You know you're the only

one I trust around here!

Susan can't be left on her own!

What if you get another

designer assistant?

Why?

Are you leaving me?

No.

Just a minute...

Hello?

Huh?

Sorry about this, I didn't know

that Carla was a troublemaker.

It was Gina who started it.

They used to be best friends!

In my class, one time,

Gina took Carla's water bottle,

and she just drank from

it without permission!

Carla hates that.

Exactly.

So, probably, instinctively,

Carla grabbed her drink

and pushed away Gina.

But Gina fell off balance

and she fell on her face.

So the class laughed at her.

Since then, she has

been picking on Carla.

I already called on

her parents as well.

Who is Carla hanging out with?

Carla's always alone.

Yes, sir?

Did you enroll?

No, sir.

Please leave.

Sorry, sir.

This isn't a playground.

Kid.

What are you doing here?

I'm just helping you.

Jeez.

Stop, I'll do that.

Give it here. Come on.

I'll take it from here.

Go ahead.

Can I ask you something?

What is it this time?

Do you think we've

been found out?

Us?

Well, I'm in your class now,

and...

my mom got called

to the principal's office.

Is that a bad thing?

Depends! What

have you been up to?

Kid.

Whatever you did, you

need to ask for forgiveness.

That's all there is to it.

Come on.

I didn't do anything!

Oh.

Except

I skipped ballet class.

Look at this!

See,

just like when you're

courting someone.

It has to be that sweet!

Thank you.

Alright, go home.

Mom.

What happened to you?

It's nothing, dear.

I guess I ate something

funny a while ago.

Probably wasn't fresh.

Go on and feed the fish, dear.

Mom.

Are you mad at me?

Should I be?

I fought with a classmate.

But it wasn't my fault!

Maybe I'm more

disappointed because,

I thought you were

okay at school.

I am okay!

I don't need friends anyway.

You need friends.

You need family.

And you need relatives.

I have you.

That's enough for me.

I'm not always going to be here.

Where are you going?

See this?

One day this will become faded,

and disappear.

Why do you even like these?

If you use a cellphone,

it can be saved forever!

Your dad gave me this.

So

Where are you going?

Nothing.

I'm just saying,

I'll grow old.

I won't be here forever.

That's not happening soon.

Don't be a smart-a*s.

My child,

I'm just worried you don't

know how to get along

with your classmates,

or your cousins.

You can't just depend on me.

I don't even depend

on you that much.

I depend more on auntie Heidi.

I can go home by myself,

do my homework by myself

You're always at the shop,

so I'm used to it.

You're blaming me?

Do you think I like

working all the time?

That I don't want to rest?

I'm tired, too,

but I have to work!

Because if I don't,

we're going to starve!

Sorry it's just

I don't really need anyone else.

Just the two of us.

And...

when you're old,

I'll take care of you.

Hyah!

Hyah!

Hyah!

One more!

One, two, stance.

And arm up!

Good.

Anddown.

Other side. Up!

Good.

And down.

Shoulders down,

chins up, both arms up!

Excuse me.

Hi.

Hello, yes?

Where's Carla?

She's not in my class.

Where is she?

I don't know, she doesn't

attend my ballet classes.

She's in karate class!

Hyah!

Hyah!

Hyah!

Hyah!

One more time! Hyah!

Hyah!

Stance!

Observe your form.

Again. One-two-three.

Hyah!

Hyah!

Hyah!

Hyah!

Hyah!

Hyah!

More energy!

Last one, hyah!

Hyah!

Stronger now, hyah!

You can shout.

Hyah!

Hyah!

Since when was this?

Mom!

Ma'am

Aren't you the older one here?

The teacher?

You should be

disciplining the child!

Why are you encouraging

her to skip her ballet class?

Come on.

Mom!

Come on!

Mom!

I'm so sorry!

I'll attend the ballet class!

If you don't want

to, then don't!

Forcing something is never good!

Okay.

What do you mean okay?!

You said if I don't want

to, then I shouldn't

Why don't you want to?

Because

My bullies are there

Is that a problem?

Why won't you tell your teacher?

They might call

me a teacher's pet

Carla, I want you to

have a lot of friends,

but I also want you to

stand up for yourself!

Especially when you're right!

Yes, mom.

If you didn't want to do

ballet, you should have told me!

I didn't want you to

be disappointed again.

Fine.

I'm not going to force you.

But maybe you can

fix your issue with Gina.

Maybe you can forgive her

for what happened to

you two in the canteen?

It's gross! Her

spit was on there!

What happens then.

If you get married?

What if you have to

kiss your husband?

That's gross.

I don't want to get married.

It's your birthday soon.

Invite them.

Mom,

I don't want a party.

We can just have snacks!

A celebration of you

guys being friends again.

What is it?

Sweetie,

why aren't your

visitors here yet?

Mom.

I'm going to go do

some homework first.

Is there anyone coming?

I don't have any

friends, remember?

Nothing.

Gina?

What?

Nothing.

You're so weird!

Weird!

She calls me but

won't say anything

Jeez.

Wait, wait!

Wait a minute.

Sweetie, come on.

It's your birthday isn't it?

We'll just celebrate

on our own, come on!

Happy birthday to you!

Make a wish!

Come on, let's eat!

Your turn to make a wish, mom!

Me?

Alright.

My wish is

For my daughter to

have a lot more friends,

for her to do a ballet recital

and that we'll be

together forever.

Mom, ballet again?

Come on, let's eat this!

I'm gonna get you!

I won!

Happy?

Yes, mom.

Even without anyone else,

it's fun.

Do you want to see

my present for you?

Yes!

Ta-dah!

Thank you, mom.

You don't seem happy.

I don't know how to ride a bike.

I'll teach you!

Come on, get on!

Go on, you can do it! Go.

I don't want to

anymore, it's hard.

You can do it, dear!

You can do it!

Look in the distance.

And keep your balance.

Keep going, I've got your back!

I will always watch over you.

I've got you, I've got you!

There!

- I did it mom, I found my balance!

- I'll always watch over you!

Mom!

Mom!

You should get

yourself admitted.

Doc, I'm still good, I always

take my medicine on time.

You know that...

painkillers is not the the

treatment for your condition.

It could metastasize quicker,

and it can cause sudden

onset bilateral blindness.

Or it can even compromise

your motor skills.

Doc, I want to spend what little

time I have left with my kid.

Not withering

away in the hospital.

Auntie

What is my mom's illness?

Just pray, dear.

That your mom

will get better soon.

So that means

that she really is sick.

Mom's hiding it from me.

It means it's bad news.

God has mercy.

I hope I had known

about it earlier.

Is my mom going to die soon?

Mom?

I'm going to go ahead.

Wait a minute!

It's okay, I've braided my hair.

I'll take care of it.

You also take a while to

get dressed, I might be late.

Mom.

Don't eat too much food, okay?

Bye.

If Rice A is 80 pesos per kilo,

and Rice B is 45 pesos per kilo,

then, which is cheaper?

Four kilos of Rice A, or,

five kilos of Rice B?

Mom!

Oh!

My daughter's so over dramatic!

What is it?

Nothing.

I was just thinking about

how I would get home.

Good thing your mom figured

out you didn't have an umbrella!

Because you don't listen to the

weather forecast on the news!

Yes ma'am.

Remember next time, alright?

Yes ma'am! Like the Girl

Scouts, I'll always be ready

With an umbrella.

Alright, let's go.

Oh, you!

Dear, do you want me

to tape up your eyelids?

You should go take

a nap on the sofa.

I don't want to,

I just want to watch you work.

Is it pretty?

Yes, it's so pretty!

Was that what you wore

when you got married to papa?

No.

We didn't have a budget then.

But in my head I had a design.

I guess that's why you're

always drawing gowns.

Maybe.

But did you know

what your papa said?

He promised me,

on our 10th wedding anniversary,

I would be able to wear the

wedding gown that I wanted.

But he's gone.

Mom... Hmm?

Why don't you try this gown on?

Huh?

Mom.

Do you have the

choreo memorized?

Of course, you?

Just a bit, but...

I'll get there.

Hey.

I'm not mad.

It's okay that you

betrayed me to your mom.

What do you mean?

You betrayed me.

But I didn't say anything!

That's the problem,

you didn't say anything!

That's why we got into trouble!

Did your girlfriend

betray you too?

You and your questions!

You look excited to

go to school, dear!

Not really! I'm just excited that

you're bringing me to school.

It's a good thing

your car broke down.

You're such a smooth-talker!

Mom

What if I skipped school?

Why?

It feels like a waste

you don't have work today,

we should spend time together!

What are we going

to tell your adviser?

Not feeling well.

Let's not. It's bad to lie,

it might actually happen.

Momdon't use grandma

as an excuse again, okay?

I'll take care of your adviser.

Yehay!

Yay!

Mom

What if I skipped

ballet class too?

Okay.

Didn't I say? If you don't want

it, I'm not going to force you.

But mom, why do you

want me to do ballet?

Because it was my dream,

and I didn't get to do it.

You won't always like things immediately

the first time that you try them.

The important thing is,

you shouldn't be afraid to try.

It's better to fail

than to never try.

I wanted to resign soon.

What?

Is someone trying to poach you?

Are they offering you double?

You shouldn't just think about the money,

you have to consider your workmates, too!

I'm not going to move, I'm

just going to stop working.

I need to focus on my kid and the

other things I have to take care of

before I'm gone.

Gone? Are you going abroad?

I'm sick.

Then go on sick leave!

Get yourself treated!

It's not a problem.

It's untreatable.

It's gotten worse.

You little biatch! Are

you trying to prank me?

If I find out you're lying

to me, I will k*ll you myself!

Dear? What's all this?

- Are you going to run away from home?

- No mom.

We keep going back and

forth from uncle Jun's house,

I thought maybe we should

just stay there for a while,

so you won't get tired.

Just a little vacation?

Yes!

But you might just

argue with your cousins.

Big bro Joel is the only one

that keeps arguing, not me.

Baby, remember

what I told you, alright?

Learn how to get along.

Hello? Carla?

Hello?

Auntie, where are you?

I'm on my way there, okay?

Make sure your mom is

asleep so she won't notice!

Yes, she's asleep right now.

You should go to bed, too! Okay?

I will. Take care!

Okay, bye bye!

I don't know why you're

fussing over this gown.

I would understand

if you had a groom,

but you don't!

I went along with

this craziness,

because you always went along

with mine, for several years.

I hope it's not true

that you're going away.

All I know is I love you,

biyotch, even if it's not obvious.

Thank you for everything.

Mary Jane.

Yes!

Come on, join us!

What?

She didn't say anything.

Why not?

She's sulking, her mom is sick.

What kind of sickness?

I'm not sure, I just heard

it from mama and papa.

Stop gossiping about us!

Are you never going to

get along with anyone?

You fight with your classmates,

you fight with your

cousins, what do you want?!

- Sorry

- Sorry?

You keep apologizing

but you do it again!

Carla.

Your Uncle Jun and Auntie

Heidi are our closest relatives

who care for you!

Tell me,

who else are you

going to get along with?

Who else can you run to?

You!

What about you, mom?

Why are you always

telling me these things?

Why are you always

pushing me to others?

You're the only one that

loves me and understands me!

So don't leave me, mom!

I just want you!

If only I could, dear.

Mom, fight it! Fight it, please!

I'm trying.

I'm trying so hard.

Are you alright?

Okay sit down.

You're crazy!

You've caused such a scandal!

You're the most radiant

sick person I've ever seen.

Probably because

I got some rest.

How are things at the shop?

Same old thing!

Stressing over Susan!

Christ.

Look at this!

It's almost done!

It's so beautiful!

Of course! Have we

ever made an ugly gown?

Who finished the beadwork?

Me and Susan!

Why, is there something wrong?

Here, look at this...

the design isn't complete.

Here.

Ah.

It's not obvious!

Do you want me to

have it redone?

We're going to rip

out all 187 beads??

I mean, look at the sleeve.

See, it needs to be even,

to show the full design.

I hate you!

You're too detailed!

It's making me miss you more!

Fine!

We'll redo it.

Well?

Is there anything

else I can do for you?

You've done more than enough.

Dear

Can you sing to

me so I can sleep?

Mom, that's your role!

Please?

Alright.

But I'm not going to

scratch your hair okay?

You're a big girl already!

Go to sleep,

my little one,

cuddle close and hold me tight

this lullaby

for you.

Sir, ma'am...

Okay, so I was

explaining to the patient,

that painkillers is not the

treatment for her condition.

It could metastasize quicker,

and it could cause sudden

onset bilateral blindness.

And it will compromise

her motor skills.

I also told her that

as time goes by,

the cancer cells are spreading.

Eventually,

it will affect her

optic nerves...

which will definitely

lead to blindness.

My wish is

For my daughter to

have a lot more friends,

for her to do a ballet recital

and that we'll be

together forever.

You'll have difficulty

catching up to this class.

You missed out

on a lot of things.

We're doing rehearsals

for recital already.

I will do my best!

If you want, you can

go to another class,

that one just started recently.

You can do that.

I don't want to go

to another class,

I want to be able

to join the recital.

Please, ma'am, please!

Fine.

Here's what we'll do.

We'll try it, but

there's no guarantee.

Okay?

If you can't do it,

I'm not going to

include you. Okay?

Thank you, teacher

Lisa! Thank you...

No guarantee!

Okay?

Alright.

Girls, let's go?

Hold the bar, first position!

Hands on the bar

Very good.

Knees straight,

chins up, shoulders to the side

Did you see Carla a while ago?

Always doing the wrong steps!

Why did she even want

to suddenly join ballet!

Let's just let her

do the steps wrong,

don't teach her anything!

During the recital,

our eyes should be expressive.

Okay?

We shouldn't be shy!

You need to always

communicate...

Teach...

Communicate with

the audience, okay?

Very good! Good work today!

Let's go.

Kid.

It's okay if you want

to do ballet now.

I'm not hurt,

we're still friends!

I feel like teacher Lisa

is going to remove me.

I really don't want a recital,

but

But?

Wait... why are you

even doing ballet?

Mom wants it.

But you told me

your mom is okay with

you not doing ballet!

Wasn't that what you said?

It's her wish.

Hey kid.

You're not so bad.

I want to make her happy

Before she has to go.

That's the best

thing in my opinion!

Give me five!

Where is your mom going?

Is she going to be an OFW?

Alright, let's go,

let's get out of here.

Can you bring me to

Central Medical Hospital?

Sure, of course.

Anywhere you want!

Why, who's sick?

My mom.

Thank you, sir.

Are you alright?

Just remember, alright?

Take care of your mom,

and stay strong, kid.

Mom?

Mom!

Baby!

You surprised me!

Oh!

Baby

Mom...

Gina.

Ice cream for you.

This is for you.

It's good.

Did you put something here?

No.

Carla, I don't want to

fight anymore, okay?

We might end up in the

principal's office again.

I don't want to fight

anymore either.

I also wanna apologize

for what I did in the canteen

and when you

tripped in class before

That's fine!

Why would you even

find my saliva gross,

we're supposed to be friends!

I don't find you gross!

I'm not like that anymore!

Really?

See, you're flinching!

No, I'm just

getting a toothache!

I think I have a cavity!

You're sure?

Thank you!

Mom!

Baby!

Every time you come in here,

I feel like I'm going

to get a heart attack,

you surprise me every time!

Mom, I have a surprise for you!

Come in, you guys!

Here, here!

Good afternoon, ma'am!

Mom, this is Gina!

Hi, Gina.

Hello ma'am!

We've made up!

That's good.

You were best

friends before, right?

Mom, this is Catherine, Rose,

Grace and Lindsey.

You have so many friends, dear!

Oh, there's some cake

there, you should have some!

Okay, thank you ma'am!

There's cake, go get some!

Oh, and here is our pet!

They're so cute, right?

- Oh it's so cute!

- Hi!

This is what I feed them.

Teacher... Teacher Lisa.

Yes?

I need your help.

With what?

It's Carla.

I hope you can help her.

Okay, we'll start,

alright? First position:

Feet.

There we go!

Your knees should be straight,

so squeeze your

thighs... that's it.

Brava arms... there!

Elbows to the side,

lengthen your shoulders,

and stretch and eyes out!

And up!

And bourre

Good! Bourre!

Squeeze! Your! Thighs!

Good! Backs up and bourres!

Good, girls! Smiles!

And swing to the left!

Demi pli!

Stretch your legs,

squeeze your thighs, good!

And let's take our

bows, step to the right

And curtsy... very soft hands,

smile and step to

the left! Andcurtsy!

And first position.

- Girls, let's step to the right...

- Wooh! That's my friend!

- Shh!

- Atta girl! Sorry!

This is good for you.

It purifies the air.

Thanks, sis.

Even as kids we

were always fighting.

Jun got so tired of

calming us down.

I don't know, maybe

I was so jealous of how

much prettier you were.

And kinder

And smarter.

I couldn't blame mama and papa

for choosing you as a favorite.

Don't worry about Carla, okay?

I will make it up

to you by doing

everything I

couldn't do for you!

Carla's mom has

a surprise for you!

She had costumes made

for you for the recital!

Wow!

Here!

- Carla, this is yours.

- Wow!

Oh, thank you very much!

Carla's mom designed that,

because she wants your

recital to be extra special!

So girls, do your best, alright!

- Thank you ma'am!

- Thank you ma'am!

Your mom's so nice!

She really is.

I hope she gets better soon!

She's not getting better.

I didn't know, I'm

sorry to hear that.

Baby

Thank you so much,

for doing this for me.

Mom

Do you have any other wishes?

Anything! I'll do

anything for you!

There's no need.

You've granted

every one of them.

Thank you.

Thank you for being my child.

You've made my

life so wonderful.

You too, mom.

Mom? Good morning.

Mom?

Mom?

I guess you got so tired.

Get some sleep, mom.

I'm not going to school.

I'll just watch over you.

Mom?

I've watered your plant.

Mom?

I've fed the fish.

Dear, we're just going to

check up on your mother, alright?

No, sir, she's sleeping!

It's alright, we won't wake her.

The check up won't take long

and we'll leave immediately.

Please let Doc JM though, okay?

I can't, she's

sleeping, let her sleep!

She's tired, okay?

Don't bother her!

Dear, I'll go in alone, okay?

- No, I won't let you!

- We'll just check on your mom...

- Mom!

- Please listen to us, dear!

- It won't take long!

- Mom! Mom!

It's just for a bit, - We

just need to check up on her!

- Mom! Mom!

- They only need to look in on her, dear.

It won't take long.

She's sleeping.

Please let her rest.

They only need to

look in on her, dear.

- It's just for a bit.

- Mom!

- Dear, we'll only look for a bit.

- Please, don't wake mom up!

- It's okay!

- Mom!

It's okay, it's okay!

They're going to wake her up.

- They're waking mom up!

- It's okay, it's okay!

Auntie Mary Jane?

Is it okay if mom wears this?

Of course, if that's

what you want.

That way, when she meets dad,

he'll be glad...

because he delivered

his promise with mom.

Dear

Your mom wanted

you to have these.

Treasure it, alright?

See this...

One day, these will fade.

They'll be gone.

Okay?

Happy weekend, study well!

Good thing your mom figured

out you didn't have an umbrella!

Because you don't listen to the

weather forecast on the news!

I listened this time, mom.

Remember, you said I

should always be ready,

like a Girl Scout?
