Another typical day for Juan and Pedro, let us follow their conversation while on breaktime. . .

Juan:   Pedro, c’mon you look terrible today and your stench oh, my…you could light up a candle with your breath. You’re reeking with whiskey my friend.

Pedro:  You’re right, Juan. You see yesterday was payday and as I was on my way home to ‘remit’ my pay to Choleng, Tomas suddenly cut my way and told me it was Jose’s birthday.

Juan: So it was a birthday. I suppose Jose spent for everything so what was the worry?

Pedro: That was the sad part Juan. When everything was consumed on the table, the group opted for an extension at the beerhouse on the next block so that was my remorse.

Juan: So, what about it? Don’t tell me you paid for everything afterwards.

Pedro:  Unfortunately, I did. I was so dead drunk that I have wasted out all that was inside my wallet. Choleng was so mad at me when I got home just this morning so I didn’t even have a bath before I left to work. Repentance really comes last so I have lived up to that example.

Juan: Oh my, Pedro. A month’s salary just for a night and you barely knew it happened with a bad headache in the morning? But repentance doesn’t always comes last, it depends on the situation.

Pedro: There you are again, don’t tell me one of those tricks when I’m in a bad mood.

Juan:  No, I’m not kidding, this actually happened.  Repentance that comes first, I knew you’re curious how it happened.

Pedro: Okay, I have nothing left to lose. Tell me.

Juan:  Here it goes, Tinoy was in remorse for  selling part of his farm to Nato at such low price when his son was hospitalized.

Pedro: So, what about it then. I don’t see any difference.

Juan:  Now here is the catch, as Tinoy was repenting why he sold his farm to Nato, he was ahead of his carabao pulling it by the rope tied to the nose in leading it to the field for grazing.

Pedro: I couldn’t get the logic Juan.

Juan:  You should see the difference, Tinoy was in remorse ahead of the carabao pulling it by the rope leading it to the field so literally his repentance comes first because the carabao is behind.
