What is Love? (Sinta Series #2)

3

I was wrong. 

College is nowhere fun as I thought it would be! Puro recit, presentation, library visits, and katako-takot na tests ang pinapagawa sa amin lagi! 

If I'm gonna be honest, I'm only here in CoEd because I knew there would be Creative Writing-related subjects in the upcoming semesters. And as an aspiring author, I sure as hell would need those lessons.

If it weren't for my newfound friends, baka matagal na ako nag-drop out! They're literally the ones keeping me sane from all the boring, long-ass discussions and several judgy block mates we have. 

Who would've thought I'd meet the famous Anne Ramos from RIS? Classmate ko pa siya! Pati si Janine na kilala rin sa inter-school beauty pageants, nandito rin. I met these girls, along with Darla, Chantal, and Jean, out of pure happenstance and I'm so happy we did. 

We have differences but we all get along pretty well. We vibe and get each other talaga. I'm glad they have pulled me in their group because as much as I don't want to admit it, not everyone really likes me here in our block.

I actually don't know why.

Pero, maybe Chantal is right—it's because Englishera ako.

But we're English majors! What do they want me to do? Speak Spanish?! The fuck.

I shrugged my thoughts off and tried to focus on the lessons, but who am I kidding? I couldn't understand a thing dito sa History class!

Pakiealam ko sa love story ni Bracken at Rizal? 

So, I took my phone and invited my friends to go to Vanity tonight.

Three Hoe-keteers

Cali: vanity tonight, g?

Samara: ugh finally, some reason to ditch this blockmate who wants to take me out tonight. g ako!

Kamilla: i'm like bored af so yes let's g~

Cali: okay, see you there!

Yes! I finally have something to look forward to today!

Looking at my phone, I saw all the notifications I received from so many guys who want to take me out on a date, too. 

I rolled my eyes. 

Tss. 

I checked them one by one, trying to remember who is who—and where I met them.

Karamihan doon ay common friends namin nila Kamilla and Samara na taga U-belt, ang iba naman ay mga nakilala ko sa dating apps.

I know that constantly dating doesn't sound nice at all, but I don't really care. Wala naman akong ginagawang masama eh. I mean, literally, wala—I just make out with some guys I find hot, and that's it. 

For me kasi, as long as I'm not purposely hurting or trampling anyone, then it's good. As long as something actually makes me happy, I'll do it. 

I don't believe in greyscale hues. For me, life is purely black and white and we make decisions with only yes or no—no in-between.

I also don't like being idle. So I'm either busy with writing, dating, partying, or just mall-ing and hanging out with my close friends. During weekends naman, I make it a routine to drive home to be with my family.

We may be wealthy but I am quite proud with how my parents raised us, siblings. And even if I am the way I am outside the comforts of our home, I make sure to be respectful and loving naman when it comes to my parents and family.
