in Filipino

C: Hello! Aba, video call yata ito. Ikaw ba iyan, Neriza?
N: Oo, Cindy. Pasensya na. Tulog ka pa yata?
C: Ok Lang! Nagulat ako dahil nakabiyahe ka na. Asa ako nang asa na makakasama ako sa iyo, pero marami pa akong trabaho!
N: Gusto kasi ni Lilia na makarating ako ngayong Holy Week! Heto nga at may “Pabasa“ ngayon rito sa bahay niya.
C: Naku, magaling akong bumasa ng pasyon noong kabataan ko!
N: Talaga? Kaya pala nanalo ka sa ‘Utawit’ sa Kyoto!
C: Aba, nataranta pa nga ako noon kasi mahigpit ang mga hurado .
N: Isa nga ako sa mga hurado! Asam ng mga hurado na ikaw ang manalo. Ayan, tinatawag na ako nina Lilia at Masanao!
C: Akala ko pa naman ay makakatikim ako ng mga paborito kong kakanin. Asam nating mga Pinoy kung umuuwi na makain lahat ang mga hilig natin.
N: Oo nga! Heto , tingnan mo itong mesa ... May puto, kuchinta, at sapin sapin. May Biko pa doon! At luto na rin ang ginataan! Hmm. amoy langka!
C: Hayy ... parang gusto ko na bukas rin ay lumipad diyan!!!!

in English
C: Hello! Seems like this is a video call! Is that you, Neriza?
N: Yes, sorry to disturb you, Cindy. Are you still in bed?
C: That’s ok! I was surprised that you were able to travel already. I have been hoping that I can go with you, but I still have a lot of work to do.
N: Lilia wanted me to come on the Lenten season. Actually, they are having a religious ritual chanting here at her house now!
C: I was good at chanting the ‘passion of Christ’ in my younger days.
N: Really? That’s why you won the ‘Utawit’ in Kyoto.
C: But actually, I panicked because the judges were strict.
N: I was one of the judges. The judges were expecting you to win. Ohh, Lilia and Masanao are calling me now!
C: I thought I’d be able to try (taste) my favorite rice cakes. We Filipinos anticipate to eat everything we like whenever we go home.
N: Right! Here, look at the table ... there are puto, kuchinta, sapin -sapin. There’s biko over there. The “ginataan“ is done as well. Hmmm, smells jackfruit.
C: Oh my .. Seems like I want to fly there right away tomorrow!!
