Dodong struggles to gain his father's approval to marry Teang at a young age. They marry and have many children, which strains their relationship. Years later, Blas also falls in love young and wants to marry Tona, facing resistance from Dodong who doesn't want him to repeat his mistakes. The grandmother concludes by reflecting on her own past as Tona from the story, and advises the girls not to rush into decisions about love.

PART I ~ The Dialogue
CHARACTERS
Mom………………………………………………Forty year old Mother, Caucasian
Daughter…………………………………………Sixteen year old, Caucasian female
This conversation takes place in a Wal-Mart store in Little Rock, Arkansas 2013
WALMART SCENE
(It’s quiet and crowded)
(We hear loud voices in the distance)
(We’re on the bread isle. There are quite a few people on the isle. On the far left shelf there’s bread and on the far right there are little Debbie snack cakes and goodies, this is center. Directly across from the bread are the frozen pizzas and other frozen food items.)
(A woman in her early 40’s is searching for the right bread to buy.)
(She is wearing a nice pair of jeans with a black and white striped shirt and UGG boots because it’s cold outside.)
(She is having a conversation with her daughter quietly when all of a sudden her daughter starts speaking louder.)
DAUGHER
But, please?
(She groans anxiously)
MOM
(She glances at her daughter in annoyance)
NO! And I mean no.
(She begins reading the bread labels)
DAUGHTER
But mom, it’ll only take a…. (Mom interrupts)
MOM
(She drops the bread and immediately turns to her daughter)
N.O. NO means no! I don’t care how unfair you think it is I’m not letting you!
DAUGHTER
(She pauses)
(She groans)
You always do this mom! Every time we go somewhere you never let me leave from under your arm! When are you going to let me grow up?!
(Both voices continue to get louder)
MOM
Don’t get that attitude with me young lady or I’ll whoop you right here in front of all of these people!
(Everyone is staring at the two)
DAUGHTER
Oh, that’ll make you look like mom of the year. Wouldn’t it?! I’m not a child anymore!
MOM
Stop! You’re making a scene!
(She grabs her daughters arm)
That’s it we are leaving and I’m telling your father!
(Suddenly it seems as if time has stopped. Everyone has stopped what they
were doing and are just staring at the two arguing)
DAUGHTER
I don’t care. The hell will he do? He’s probably cheating on you anyways. If I were him I know I would!
(a longer pause)
(Everyone is in awe)
MOM
(she looks shocked and upset)
Th-That’s it! I’ve had it with your mouth! You’re grounded! Keep your mouth shut and don’t say anything else to me. I don’t know what’s wrong with you. Let’s go!! NOW!!
(They both walk away, the mother pushing the cart, leaving the bread behind, ashamed and embarrassed they walk with their heads down and fail to make eye contact)
PART II~ The Observation
Creating a Monologue
She sits alone in the student center everyday. She sits at the same table with nobody to talk to. She has a blank piece of paper on the table in front of her. She sits there quietly, tapping her pen on the table. She pretends to be the happiest girl alive; she’s friendly, helpful, soft-spoken, headstrong, confident, beautiful, intelligent, but if you truly look at ...

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
Let's dive deeper into the world of ODC! Ricardo Alves (OutSystems) will join us to tell all about the new Data Fabric. After that, Sezen de Bruijn (OutSystems) will get into the details on how to best design a sturdy architecture within ODC.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

Karerin mo yang a. Pero anyways, go Lola carrybells mo yan.
SCENE 2
[Narrator; Grandmother; Dodong; Teang; and Lucio]
NARRATOR: Once there was a love triangle among Dodong, Twang and Lucio.
LUCIO: Teang, let me tell you something.
TEANG: What is it about?
LUCIO: We were as one babe for a moment in time and it seemed everlasting that you would always be mine.
TEANG: But Lucio! I want you to be free
So I’m letting you fly, Cause I know in my heart Lucio
Your love for me will die
LUCIO: Teang!
2. Close your eyes
Give me your hand, Darling, do you hear my heart beating?
Do you understand? Do you feel the same or am I only dreaming?
TEANG: Yes! Your only dreaming Lucio.
I have never loved you and I will never love you.
LUCIO: As long as the stars shine down from the heaven
As long as the rivers run to the sea
I’ll never get over you getting over me!
Goodbye Teang, you will regret that you rejected me.
TEANG: I’m so sorry Lucio, But I love Dodong.
(Teang was alone)
NARRATOR: Teang is a beautiful youg lady. She had a small brown face and small black eyes and straight glossy hair and
Dodong was her lover.
TEANG: Here I was an empty piece of a shell
Just minding my own world
Without even knowing
What love and life were all about
(Dodong came)
Then you came, you brought me out of my shell
You gave the world to me and before I know
There I was so in love with you
DODONG: You gave me a reason for my being and I love what I love what I’m feeling.
TEANG: You gave me a meaning to my life
Yes! I’ve gone beyond existing and it all began
When I met you
(Music played – When I met you)
(Romantic play)
NARRATOR: The lovers enjoyed the cool breeze of the day. They go to picnic. They love picture taking. They thought of
nothing but themselves.
DODONG: Teang, I have something to ask you.
TEANG: What is it, Dodong?
DODONG: Do you really love me?
TEANG: Of course! I love you today, tomorrow and always.
DODONG: Then will you marry me?
TEANG: Yes, Dodong. Yes! I love to be your wife.
(Music played – Runaway)
GIRL 2: Then Lola what happened? Did they get married immediately? How many kids did they had?Are they cute?
GRANDMOTHER: Hala sige, ikaw na magkwento. Palit tayo?
GIRL 2: Peace. Continue na po, Lola.
SCENE 3
NARRATOR:
The sun was salmon and hazy in the west. Dodong thought to himself he would tell his father about Teang when
he got home. He was hesitant of saying it, he wanted his father to know what he had to say was of serious importance
as it would mark a climacteric in his life. Dodong finally decided to tell it, but a thought came to him that his father might
refuse to consider it. His father was a silent hardworking farmer, who chewed areca nut.
3. DODONG: I will tell it to him.
I will tell it to him.
I will surely tell it to him.
NARRATOR: Dodong started homeward thinking how he would break his news to his father. He really wanted to be
married. Dodong had pimple on his face, then down on his upper lip was dark-these meant he was no longer a boy, He
was a growing man – he was a man.
(Family are eating their dishes, mother wash the dishes)
Dodong really wanted to spill out his mind but his pity to his mother dominated him. He wished that he had a sister who
could help his mother on the housework. Then he went to his father whose sucking a diseased tooth.
DODONG: I am going to marry Teang.
(Father looked silently at Dodong)
DODONG: I will marry Teang.
(Father kept gazing at him in inflexible silence)
DODONG: I asked her last night to marry me and she said. . . yes.
I want your permission. . . I want . . . it.
FATHER: Must you marry, Dodong?
You are very young Dodong.
DODONG: I am seventeen.
FATHER: That’s very young to get married at.
DODONG: I. . . want . . . to marry her. Teang’s a good girl.
FATHER: Tell your mother.
DODONG: You tell her, tatay.
FATHER: Dodong, tell your inay.
DODONG: You tell her.
FATHER: All right, Dodong.
DODONG: You will let me marry Teang?
FATHER: Son, if that is your wish. . . Of course.
SCENE 4
NARRATOR: Dodong was immensely glad he had asserted himself. He lost his resentment for his father.
Then he confined his mind to dreaming of Teang and himself – sweet young dreams.
(Music played – Careless Whisper Intro)
(Dodong and Teang were lying on a mat. Suddenly Teang’s stomach aches, sign of giving a birth.
MOTHER: Do not leave the house Dodong.
DODONG: I have to, I don’t want to hear Teang crying.
MOTHER: All right, if that’s what you want.
(Dodong leaving)
FATHER: In a few minutes, you would be a father.
(Music played – Crying baby)
MOTHER: It is a boy!
Come up, Dodong. It is over.
NARRATOR: Suddenly, he felt terribly embarrassed as he looked at her. It made him feel guilty. He dropped his eyes and
pretended to dust off his short.
MOTHER: Dodong!
NARRATOR: Dodong felt more embarrassed and did not move. His parent’s eyes seemed to pierce through him so he
felt limp. He wanted to hide or even run away from them.
MOTHER: Dodong, you come here!
DODONG: I’ll . . . come up.
(Mother carrying the baby boy)
4. FATHER: Son. . .
MOTHER: Dodong . . .
DODONG: Where’sTeang?(Mother gave the baby boy to Dodong)
MOTHER: She’s sleeping. But you go in.
NARRATOR:
Dodong saw Teang, his wife, asleep on the paper with her soft black hair around her face. He did not want her to look
that pale. Dodong wanted to touch her, to push away that stray wisp of hair that touched her lips. But again that feeling
of embarrassment came over him, and before his parent, he diid not want to be demonstrative.
They named the baby, Blas. Blas was not Dodong’s only child. Many more children came. For six successive years, a new
child came along. Dodong did not want any more children but they came. It seemed the coming of children could not be
helped. Dodong get angry with himself sometimes.
TEANG: I am now thin, shapeless even if I am young.
Cooking. Laundering. The house. The children. I wish I had not married. I wish I had married Lucio. But Lucio had
already married another. (crying)
SCENE 5
NARRATOR: Eighteen years passed by, Dodong’s son, Blas, also found his love with girl named Tona. Tona is a beautiful
young lady. Her curly hairs, tantalizing eyes, sweet voice and slim body caught Blas’ attention.
(Music played – Himig ng Pag-ibig)
BLAS: Hey, girl you just caught my eye.
Thought I should give it a try to know get your name and your number.
Go grab some nuts and eat some cucumbers.
Cause your eyes, your eyes
Make the stars look like they’re not shining
Your hair, your hair falls perfectly without you trying
You r so beautiful and I will tell you every day.
TONA: Who are you??
BLAS: I am the one for you and you’re the one for me. We’re the perfect two.
And now that that I’m strong I have figured out
How this world turns cold and it breaks through my soul.
And I know, I’ll find deep inside me, I can be the one.
TONA: Then I wanna know what love is. I want you to show me.
BLAS: Yes! It’s a beautiful night. We’re looking for something dumb to do
Hey baby, I think I wanna marry you.
TONA: Is it a look in your eyes or is it this dancing shoes?
Who cares baby, I think I wanna marry you.
BLAS: So? You mean yes?
TONA: A-huh!
BLAS: Waaahhhhhhhh!!!
(Music played – Runaway intro)
SCENE 6
NARRATOR: One night as Dodong lay beside his wife. He rose and went out of the house. He stood In the moonlight,
tired and querulous. Blas was eighteen, he came that night very flattered and happy.
DODONG: You better go to sleep. It is late. (Dodong went back on the mat)
5. BLAS: Itay
(Dodong did not answer and tried to sleep.)
I am going to marry Tona,
(Dodong did not move)
Itay, you think it over.
(Dodong lay silent)
I love Tona and I want her.
(Dodong rose from his mat)
DODONG: Must you marry, Blas?
BLAS: Yes. . .
NARRATOR: Dodong did not Blas to marry yet. Blas was very young. He did not want to let his son to commit the same
sudden decision but he can’t refuse.
BLAS: I will marry Tona.
You have objections Itay?
DODONG: Son. . .
(sigh) none. . .
NARRATOR: Dodong was helpless. He could not do anything.
As long ago, youth and love isn’t that lucky for Dodong . . .
Dodong looked wistfully at the situation. He felt extremely sad and sorry for him.
SCENE 7
(Maglalakad si Grandmother)
GIRL 1: Oh Lola, where are you going na po?
GIRL 2: What happened nap o kay Blas?
GRANDMOTHER: Naisip ko lang mga ineng kung sakaling hinayaan kong magpatuloy ang sa amin ni Blas.
GIRL 1 & GIRL 2: Tona? Wooooooow! Ikaw po yong Tona sa kwento niyo po?
GRANDMOTHER: Hayaan mo na iyon, mga ineng. Basta huwag padalos-dalos sa desisyon. Hala, magsihayo na kayo. Mga
batang ito.
GIRL 1: (Bubulong) Akala ko dalagang Pilipina si lola. May pa’I want to know what love is pang nalalaman.
GIRL 2: Nagpastraight pa.
GRANDMOTHER: Ano yun?
GIRL 1 & GIRL 2: Wala po. Sabi po namin aalis na po kami. Bye po, lola.
(Magmamano at aalis na)
