Chapter 14
Hindi ko alam na may quota grade pala 'to, 2.5 dapat ang overall GPA ko. Bachelor of Fine Arts in Interior Design has 132 units. Sakit sa ulo! Pero kaya 'to! Gagraduate ako with flying colors.
Ngayong sem, may 5 subjects ako so bale 14 units lahat.
I've been staying here for almost 2 weeks but I haven't made any friends yet. May dalawang pinoy akong blockmates but mag-jowa yata, nakakahiya naman maki-friends sa kanila, magmumukha akong chaperon.
"First, there was a law of attraction. You got suck in a trance by sight. I guess there's a lot to like about it. The way you dress, the way you look, and most of all, the way you smile but after that comes the Law of Indefinite Proportion, somehow in someway, there will be difference and it'll be up to the both of you to accept the bad things and lastly, you have the Law of Definite Proportion, once acceptance has taken over, everything that both of you agreed upon will be endless.... Quoted by Dr. Coupland."
So.... Crook crook... crook crook...
Anong connect ng pinagsasabi nung professor sa subject naming Fundamentals of Design?
"Ma'am, what's the connection?" Tanong nung isa.
"Well.... Maybe I just wanna quote that. By the way, that's the science of affection." Nagtaas siya ng kilay, "Back to our topic."
"When doing a design, it is necessary to think of the house as a totality.... Blah blah blah."
Yung school ko? Typical school sa US. Mukha siyang park tapos yung mga building gawa sa bricks and glass then may Walter Pyramid, literal na pyramid, kung saan doon yung sporting complex.
Pumunta ako sa locker ko para kunin yung books ko para sa next subject. Foundation Design History.
Since mahaba naman ang break namin, kakain muna ako sa cafeteria, siyempre, habang nagre-review. Kailangan maging mabuting magaaral. Nagrereview in advance.
"Gawan natin ng storya yung dalawang yun oh. Ako yung babae, ikaw yung lalaki." Sabi nung blockmate kong pinoy.
Tinuturo nila yung sikat na football varsity dito tsaka yung bago niyang girlfriend na cheerleader.
Umupo ako sa may likod ng table nila. I'm always alone. Sila naman, minsan kasama nila yung mga blockmates naming Americans pero madalas na silang dalawa lang.
"Sige." Ani naman nung boyfriend niya
Hindi ko na narinig yung mga sinasabi nila kasi lalo nilang hininaan pero tawa sila ng tawa! Halos mailuwa na nila yung kinakain nila sa sobrang kakatawa.
"Hey." Pagtawag ko. Umikot pa ako ng upo para humarap table nila
"Are you calling me or him?" Tanong nung babae
"The both of you?"
"Why?" Medyo natatawa tawa padin yung lalaki, di yata maka getover
"I just.... Wanna know the story you're telling."
