CHAPTER 19
4 Years Later, May 16, 1992.
Lunch break in a semiconductor company, Vince was done with his lunch.
Suddenly, the mobile phone rings with a familiar ring tone.
“..di mo alam dahil sau, ako’y di makakain...
....
kung ako’y muling iibig, sana di maging katulad mo...
…tulad mo na ma’y pusong bato”
Vince picks up, just finished brushing his teeth.
Vince: yeah, who’s this?
Jackson: Hey man! It’s me Jack!
Vince was surprise.
Vince: hey, how are you? How’d you get my number?
Jackson: long story pal, anyway, the Japanese embassy is offering a scholarship who would like to pursue graduate studies in Japan; they have chemistry, agriculture, mathematics, languages, some selected program in engineering, and physics as well.
Vince: oh really? How’d you know?
Jackson: I’m in front of my laptop, I just visit their website, are you interested? They have an interview on this coming Monday.
Vince stops for a meanwhile, he then followed.
Vince: what are the requirements?
Jackson: Just visit the website, all information there are complete.
Vince: ok, I’ll be checking then.
Jackson: I will come on Monday, can you?
Vince: ok, I’ll try. Thanks for the info, pal.
Jackson: no problem, alright, goodbye.
The conversation ends.
Vince had been thinking graduate school opportunity for the whole day long.
Vince: …anyway, I had been in this career for quite long, maybe… it’s about time to shift, and try something new.
He was thinking these things all day long.
