A Teacher's Diary

Memento

August 2, 2014
Saturday

I did laundry and tried to clean my room. I found the wall paper stickers I bought from SM Manila. I opened one of them, the one with the picture of mice and bugs. I put it on my wall aligned to my window facing the garage. Hm.. Ok, we have two garage. Well, I am talking about the one on my right, when you're facing the street. Where Alexa, Kuya Godi's car and mom's jeep are being parked.

I wanted to dispose things I no longer use. I found some of my scribble notes from the past.

"Mahirap maging sentimental. Ang hirap itapon ng mga bagay na matagal mo ng dapat itinapon."

I disposed some. I still managed to save a few by saving it here in Wattpad.

My phone rang when I was trying to eat my lunch. Nakakatamad kumain. Gutom ako pero wala akong gana.

It was EJ. He said the seminar's done. I thought it's until 5 PM. He's asking if I would like to meet him in a few minutes. I told him I need to take a bath first. I was unable to finish my meal and agreed to meet him at Pasig. We planned to go to SM Megamall and watched Guardians of the Galaxy.

Oh my, a tall handsome guy was there for me waiting in the plaza. He's wearing long sleeve and pants and the slip on Raven shoes. I kissed him and when he stood up, he grabbed me and enclosed me in his arms. Hugging me. Yikes! Kinikilig ako!!!

As we walk towards a place where we can ride FX on our way to Megamall, he said that something has changed about me. About my aura. He said, I looked more mature and classy. Like I graduated from UST or La Salle.

While we're in FX, on our way to megamall he said, "Madaming nagsasabi.. magkabigote ka lang daw, magkamukha na talaga tayo." I instantly disagreed. "Hindi kaya. Mas pogi kaya ako sa'yo."

We bought food at Jollibee to eat at the movie. There's a very long line of people waiting to watch including us. I was hungry and I already ate all the French Fries. As we wait, I told him to buy us Nachos.

The movie was great and funny. It made me laugh. I really love Marvel movies. I admire Stan Lee big time.

"I am groot."

After the movie, we went to J.Co. to try it there but there was also a long line of people. I don't want to wait so we decided to go to The Coffee Bean Tea Leaf instead. My card was rejected so I needed to withdraw from an ATM machine.

I really enjoyed our time. Even though EJ kept on telling me that even though I slightly looked mature now, I still act childish. But I'm just happy. I don't know what's gotten into me but I am in a very good mood.

I texted Tet to ask her about her day. Two people important to her celebrated their birthdays today.

Bubb also texted, "Bubb, musta?". Trying to catch up with me. She told me she's suffering from allergy. And that she also tends to be aloof at work like I do.

"Gets na kita dun sa snasbi mung ndi ka maxado nkkhalubilo or close sa mga ka work mo. Ganun din kc ako ngaun."

And about some older guy trying to win her heart. But she doesn't want to believe him. 

"Haha. Kunwari mggng open sakin.. ako naman si gaga feeling vip, feeling trusted. Pero ang totoo, ung tiwala ko ang knukuha. Pag nakuha na, alam na this. Hahaha. Empre, naniwala kna e.. nahulog kna sa patibong. Laglag ako ngaun. Buti ba sana kung pareho kaung babagsak. Kaso ako lang e. Ang taas kc ng lipad."

She also mentioned about us hanging out within Metro Manila.

"Pasyal tayo bubb. I mean, alam ko namang mdami kna din napuntahan. Ako, konti pa lang. Pasyal tayo ha."

I checked our conversation. She sent me long messages while I replied with short ones. Maybe that's why she thought I was sleepy. I think she really wants to talk with me about things she can't talk with just anyone. I miss her but I think we'll have better conversation when we meet face to face next time.

But I pray that she'll recover with her allergies soon.
