Prologue: As a dawn appears in Neo Malate, Manila. Rafael walks around the apartment complex with only his boxer shorts and along with him, he carries a cup of hot unsweetened coffee. His house is near an old Tapa house named Elisa’s which Rafael loved so much since he was a child. For those who need to know what Tapa is, well, tapa is simply Fried Beef Jerky and that’s there is to know about it. And that is what Rafael simply wanted for breakfast, when he walked towards that old cart, he noticed the voluptuous cashier named Myrna serving hot Tapa and Rice to two other customers. One’s an huge bald guy who also is half naked named Eugenio, the other’s a lanky rail-thin girl named Rina who sports a rainbow cap that had the words “Trumpcard in it’s front end”. They were eating without qualms, just minding their own business, they were his neighbors just two houses away from his. Rafael just didn’t mind them and just took a seat, he spoke his first words for the day “Miss, Pahingi naman ng masarap na tapa dyan” (Miss, can you give me some good tapa, please) and smiled afterwards. “Hmmph, okay, pero dapat bayaran mo ako sa ilang tapa na nakain mo noong lunes!” (Hmmph, okaym but you should pay me for the other tabs you’ve placed on those tapas last monday!) said the fiery vixen, she then prepared to heat up the stove for some meat. Rafael on the other side, smiled and gave out a bag of change for his tabs, placed it near the cash register and told Myrna “Ito po ang utang ko~! Oh, siya pwede na ako magtapa, I’m waiting, give it to me… Now na~!” (Ma’am, here’s my debt! Oh well, I can have tapa now, I’m waiting, please give it to me, Now!).   Several minutes have passed while waiting for Rafael’s Tapa which is now being created in the process and one of the patrons at the cart stopped eating and greeted Rafael with a welcoming slap at the back and some opening statements. “Pare! Musta ang tulog?” (Dude, how’s the sleep?) said the bald eugenio, with a huge stature, just half-naked and only with his denim shorts and flame-printed bunny sandals, he wasn’t intimidating to Rafael and the boy with the coffee greeted him back saying “Okay ang tulog ko, alam mo may napanagip ako! Si Carol Editha ka-date ko! Astig, holding hands pa kami” (My sleep’s been great, Dude I dreamt of having a date with Carol Editha! We were like holding hands and all!), “Carol Editha? Y’mean that sexy model who t…” said in English by the bald one. Rafael nodded his head with zeal and said “Yep, that one i’ve shown you”. While the two were talking about the model, Myrna called Rafael and told him “Ito tapa mo, Venezual , pa-english english pa kayong dalawa diyan! wag na ninyo ako pahiyain! “(Hey Venezual, Here’s your Tapa! You two with your english skills! Don’t embarrass me like that!) Eugenio simply smiles at the blonde-haired cashier like he was scheming something. Myrna just smiled in a sarcastic and exaggerating way. While the two were staring at each other like they were about to shout at each other, Rafael went on and ate his Tapa meal, it’s simply Beef Tapa, Egg and Garlic Fried Rice. Not to mention, he also has free Iced Tea but he gives it to Eugenio at every possible opportunity he can.
