aLfie: "O, kamusta na'ng mga bata?"

Karen: "Mabuti naman. Makukulit pa rin."

Algae: "Mima, pakausap kay Tito aLfie."

Karen: "O, kausapin ka raw ni Algae."

Algae: "Kamusta ka na r'yan sa Canada, Tito aLfie?"
aLfie: "Okey naman ako rito, pero palagi ko kayong hanap-hanap."
Algae: "Hamo, Tito aLfie, malapit ka na namang umuwi e."

Kamusta is a Filipino greeting which, in English, translates to "How are you?" It is a corruption of the Spanish "Como esta?," which has the same meaning.
