"Mommy, I have to go."
Hindi ko na napigilang sabihin 'yon dahil kanina pa ako kinukulit ni Mommy sa susuotin ko para sa first day namin. Ayos naman 'tong suot ko, hindi ko maintindihan kung bakit ayaw niya ito ang suotin ko. I'm wearing my red H&W shirt, white pair of jeans with Chanel belt and black booths.
Ayaw ni Mommy nito, ang gusto niya ay formal attire. Ang point ko naman first day pa lang at wala pang ginagawa.
"Are you really sure about what you're wearing?" she said, raising her right eyebrow habang nakapameywang at nakatitig sa akin.
"Yup, Mommy. Bye!"
Hindi na ako lumingon at dumiretso na sa kotse ni Dad.
Not mine! I badly want to have one, but my dad won't let me because he doesn't trust me. I'm still young in his eyes—LOL! Kaya eto, nagtitiis sa pahiram-hiram. It was a Mercedes-Benz.
When I got to school, I parked in the lot and went straight to the entrance gate, where I presented the guard with my COR and the QR code for verification.
I'm currently studying at the University of Bulacan, an exclusive school originally focused on business courses. But over time, they've started offering other programs too, like architecture, engineering, and tourism management.
"Good morning, kuya." Bati ko sa guard pagkatapos niya i-scan 'yong code ko.
"Good morning." Bati pabalik ni kuya guard bago ako umalis sa guard house at naglakad papasok ng school.
Since hawak ko naman na ang COR, tinignan ko na rin iyon para i-check kung saan ko matatagpuan ang classroom ko.
'Volar Building'
Natawa ako sa pangalan dahil tamang-tama sa program ko. Volar means 'fly' in Latin American Spanish Language.
I'm taking up Bachelor of Science in Tourism Management because I want to be a flight attendant—that's been my dream ever since. However, I know that tourism management isn't just about becoming a flight attendant. It's a broad field with many opportunities and industries to explore.
Nakita ko kaagad ang building namin katabi siya ng Benedicto Building. Ang alam ko building 'yan for business courses.
When I was on vacation, I had already started researching this school since I knew I'd be spending the next four years here—I wanted to learn more about it. I was amazed at how they divided the buildings based on the different courses they offer, making each department feel like they truly have their own space. In Volar, which is the building assigned to my program, architecture students also share the space.
Aalis na sana ako sa kinatatayuan ko ng may napansin akong pinagtitinginan ng mga tao rito. I got curious, so I stared at the guy too.
"Gwapo." I whispered.
Matangkad at tisoy siya, ang lakas din ng dating niya kaya siguro naco-caught niya ang atensiyon ng lahat. What's his name? His eyes are beautiful. His lips are very pinkish and kissable.
I chuckled and shook my head. "I like it." I whispered.
Umalis na ako roon, pero ang hirap para sa akin. I don't know why, but I felt like I wanted to keep staring at that guy. I shrugged it off, maybe I'll see him around more often anyway.
"Hoy! P're, nandito ka na!"
Nagulat ako kay Angelo nang bigla na lang siya sumulpot sa harapan ko habang naglalakad ako papuntang classroom.
