Pasadena 2: Santino

"Fuck today; gone tomorrow." Most men, nowadays, are commonly accustomed to this kind of set-up. It's easier to fuck around; no one will reprimand them about their private affairs. Walang sabit. No strings attached. However, Santino doesn't want to take part in this type of arrangement anymore. The popular and most sought-after celebrity in the country officially quits.

Sure, he's being surrounded by different socialites and supermodels. Hindi naman maiiwasan iyon sa klase ng mundong ginagalawan niya. Mamimili lang siya sa listahan, and it's all good. Mainit na ang kanyang gabi. Problem solved. As much as possible, Santino explains the real deal to his conquests. Sapat na ang stress na ibinibigay ng showbiz, he doesn't need another one.

Enter Cleo Estrada. Santino never expects that he'll be facing his downfall sooner than later. Digital nga naman ang karma, at ngayo'y nahanap niya na ang katapat niya. Meeting that damsel makes him livid. Tila ayaw lubayan ng imahe nito ang kanyang isipan. He almost thinks he's going nuts. Honest feelings and bad timing really do make the most painful combination.

The infuriating woman wants absolutely nothing to do with him. Ang tanging gusto lamang nito ay ang bagay na nasa pagitan ng kanyang mga hita. Santino has never felt so offended before. Napasubo na ang lalaki sa isang sitwasyon-na kung noon ay siya ang nasusunod, now he's on the other receiving end. He keeps wanting more.

Nagsikap siya upang kunin nang buo ang loob ng dalaga.

Trial and error ang nangyari. Santino has no idea how to court a woman properly, kaya naman niligawan niya ang dalaga sa paraang alam niya. At aaminin niyang first time niyang makatanggap ng sangkatutak na rejections mula sa isang tao. This can't be. Santino isn't familiar with the art of giving up.

After all, quitters never win.
