Nice to Meet you (Yoroshiku Onegai Shimasu)

Nice to meet you: Who are you?

Philippines.....

Just for the thought of going back there gives me a heavy breathing.

Am I ready?

Well it's pointless to ask this to myself now, since I am here. First day....I am walking through the hallway, looking for that classroom ( FYI: I am not good with directions). I saw my classroom, just outside I can already hear how noisy it could possibly be and yes , I am the new girl!

I entered the classroom, ( eto na nga magtatagalog na ako) usual pinoy thing, lahat ng mata nakatitig sa'yo. But gladly not like what it is in Japan na hahabulin ka talaga ng camera. Mio Akiyama walking in the street, without fancy dress and an umbrella. Yes, it is totally different, eto yung moment na foreigner ang pumasok sa classroom , sana walang "weeaboo" dito or any "otaku" , it will be all ruined. Well kaya nga sa State University lang ako pinag aral, for me not to get too much attention. Ako rin naman nagdesisyon nito, afterall I am a half Filipino by blood.

Pero, I scanned the whole classroom, nothing special. Para lang nag slowmoh lahat nung napatingin ako sa likod, there was this guy sleeping with his hanky on his face and listening to music. 

Para lang akong linoloko ng tadhana....

Pumasok na yung prof sa  classroom, nabawasan ng onti yung ingay. I sat in front in order not to get his attention, hindi nya rin naman mapapansin na ako ito pag nakatalikod. Until this professor started saying,

  "let us pass our attendance card".

Oo, sa pinas ganito talaga. Mag-e-enroll ka, ibibigay sa'yo yung white form ng schedule mo tapos, attendance card for each class. Yun kasi yung gagamitin nila to mark your attendance at syempre ito rin yung sandata ng mga prof na mahilig mag-drop ng estudyante.

Relate ba? 

Well, going back, sa kamalas malasan. "A" pala simula ng apilyedo ko, kaya alam nyo na kasunod guys. "Jikoshokai" or Self- Introduction.

"Hi!  My name is Mio......"

"Miyo Ayuri..."

After I said that, may tunog ng upuan akong narinig. Hindi lang ako ang napatingin but majority of the class did. Siya...siya yung napatingin na para bang pilit nyang kinakalma yung sarili nya. 

Sino nga ba naman ang di magugulat?
