2021 年 11 月 4 日，陰沉沉的一天。在披薩店，我沒辦法像平常一樣坐在窗外的桌子吃披薩，因為那裡擠滿了皮膚黝黑的青少年。於是，我坐在了室內靠窗的位置。我可以看到外面桌子上一個棕色皮膚青少年毛茸茸的手臂。之後，我去了咖啡館，點了杯我常喝的冰綠茶。在那裡，我遇到了一個名叫阿爾瑪的菲律賓老朋友，她以前在街角的便利商店工作，現在從事醫療保健行業。

A grey day it is on the 4th of November of 2021. At the pizzeria, I could not sit eating my pizza at my regular table just outside the window, as a crowd of fresh brown teenagers were eating pizza there. So, I sat inside by the window. I could see the hairy arms of one brown teenager at the table outside. I went then to the cafe to have my usual iced green tea. I saw a longtime Filipino friend named Alma, who worked before at a corner convenience store, but now is in health care.
