P: Ken, SALAMAT sa lunch, masarap yung mga pagkain na napili mo.
K: WALANG ANUMAN. Masaya ako at nakapaglunch tayo. Next time, ikaw naman ang taya ha?
P: Oo sige ba… O paano, alis na ako ha, PAALAM!
From this conversation, Ken and Paula had lunch together.
Paula ‘thanked’ Ken and told him that the food was great, Ken said “you’re welcome” to Paula and next time, she’ll be the one who’ll pay the bill. Paula agreed and said “goodbye” to Ken.
