Maybe Next Time

Chapter 7

I'm in my room now, lying down. Hindi ako tamad, I'm just resting. It's weekend, so we don't have any classes. I've finished washing the dishes and completed my homework, which was just an essay. Lately, we haven't had many quizzes or activities because everyone's busy preparing for Business and Governance Week.

We call it BGW. This event showcases the skills and knowledge of business students like us. There will be business pitching, global presentations of home and host countries, an Investopedia competition for stocks, marketing product implementation, and much more.

Dalawang subject namin ang required na sasali sa business and governance week. Iyon ay ang bac5 na kung saan ay magkakaroon kami ng presentation sa napili naming home country.

Ang pangalawang subject naman ay ang bac3. Magkakaroon naman kami ng company pitching kung saan ay ipe-present ang mga ways kung paano hina-handle ng napili naming company ang kanilang Human Resource Department.

Unfortunately, I was chosen by my group to present on the United States of America. Iyon ang napili namin. I actually enjoy public speaking, having participated in orations and debates during high school.

I just wanted to lay low in college after being so active before. But I have no choice because the winning group gets 50 points for their major subject, which is a significant boost, especially given the difficulty of class standing activities.

I didn't want to burden my group, so I started writing my script last week and I am now in the memorization stage. We need to memorize our presentations because we're trained to be professional.

Noong medyong memorize ko na ay nag open agad ako ng cellphone para mag liwaliw man lang ng konti. Ito lang talaga ang ginagawa ko kapag free time. Nagso-scroll sa facebook, instagram at lalong-lalo na sa tiktok.

Just as I opened my phone, Lachlan decided to bother me again. I don't know why he insists on messaging me but never talks to me in person.

eh ano naman?

grabe kasama ng ugali

speaking of, saan ang fifty pesos ko Lachlan Madden!

Nga pala, a few days ago, we needed to pass a letter to our professor to allow us to gather data. Since Lachlan and his "pitik" were not available, and Ate Flor was busy with work, and one of their group members was missing in action, I ended up printing and submitting the letter for him.

I got him to print the letter, and I've charged him fifty pesos, even though the printing cost only five pesos lang. Badtrip pa rin ako sakaniya kasi hindi pa niya ako binabayaran. Napagod kaya ako!
