Chapter 3
Sophie
Ilang araw na din akong ganito, tuliro at di mapakali. It’s been five years since I didn't saw him, the guy who fooled me, who hurt me, who used me! Why suddenly these memories are bothering me?
Flashback
"Engineering surveying involves determining the position of natural and man-made features on or beneath the Earth's surface and utilizing these features in the planning, design and construction of works. It is a critical part of any engineering project. Without an accurate understanding of the size, shape and nature of the site the project risks expensive and time-consuming errors or even catastrophic failure."
I can’t believe malapit na akong grumadweyt sa kursong hindi naman ako ang pumili. I am taking BS Civil Engineering, I’m not a math genius that's why this course was not even on my lists of choices, but my Dad has finalized his decision, naalala ko pa yung sinabi nya ‘Sophie you are going to be an Engineer and will take over in our company on the right time’
I have no choice, I want to be a Doctor, why? Maybe because I love Science... LOL. My mom is also there to support what I like, she even approved my first choice of course but when my father talked, everyone should listen and agree. He is just like his father, they always want to control someone's life. What can I do? They are my parents, I know the reason why they are being like this and I understand them. It is for the better...
Pagkatapos ng pag mumuni-muni ko, tapos na rin mag salita ang prof namin. Lunch break na, kanina pa nagwawala ang mga alaga ko sa tiyan!
"Miss Rodriguez, College week is near, what are your plans for the upcoming event?" Engr. Babel suddenly asked me pagkatapos nyang maglecture. Teka oo nga pala Vice-president pala ako ng Association of Civil Engineering students, bigla tuloy nag-init ang tenga ko matapos niyang itanong iyon! Nakakainis lang kasi… k-kasi…kasi ako dapat ang president hindi ang lalaking iyon na dinaan lang ang lahat sa kagwapohan!
"Uhm, Actually Engr. Babel we will just having our meeting later about the upcoming event but we can assure you, all students esp. the CE's will enjoy it!" I answered him and smiled
"We are looking forward to that assurance Miss Rodriguez, Siguro mas maganda naman ang kalalabasan nyan lalo na't iba na ang presidente ng org. I heard Mr. Del Rosario took over!” kahit kailangan sakit sa tenga ang pangalan ng lalaking yun!
"Dont worry Engr. Babel, you can count on us!" pilit akong ngumiti kahit alam kong sira na ang araw ko upon hearing that guy's surname… Urgh!
Sa Foodcourt...
Bakit kaya parating maingay sa foodcourt? People can eat without making noise naman di ba? Nakakairita!
Loner nanaman ako…ok lang sanay naman na ako, I have friends pero I’m not with them everytime, tsaka wala naman akong real friends just like the other ‘NORMAL PEOPLE’ do. Kasi naman my Dad have to check their backgrounds first bago nya approbahan kung pwede ko ba silang maging kaibigan, I have my girl bestfriend naman, She is SIE, but she's not here in the Philippines, she is in NEW YORK, she is studying there, their business was based their that’s why his father decided that their whole family will stay there for good. Pero kahit ganoon, we always have communication, sometimes I visit her…
