Of Lines and Love

Finals na namin sa VC. I arrived early at the drafting room. Bago ako matulog ay chineck ko pa kung may ink yung tech pens ko at nirefillan yung konti na ang laman. I even double checked my bag to see if I forgot something. So far, so good.

Nag-takeout lang ako ng panini tsaka iced coffee kanina na kinain ko sa labas ng room since maaga pa nga.

Alphabetical order ang seating arrangement for midterms and finals kaya hindi ko katabi yung tatlo. Muntik pa malate si Uri na prente lang ang pagpasok sa room habang nagsusuklay.

Nilabas na namin yung boards when Ar. Galves gave the signal. He's extra strict during exams. If he sees a student talking, he'll decrease the time by fifteen minutes and he won't even announce it. Magkakagulatan na lang kapag pinapasa na n'ya.

I looked at my board. It already has an outline of the Sydney Opera House using a hard pencil. I took special attention on my borders and architectural lettering on this one. This is the last one for this sem, so I have to do my best.

I took one last look at the reference when Ar told us to put away our phones.  I double checked if I had it on silent, because if one phone rings, we all have to pass our boards even if we don't finish it. I wouldn't want to be the one to blame if that happens.

After two hours may ilan nang nakatapos. Kasama na ako don. I felt relief dahil finally! Bawas load!

Hindi na ko kakabahan kapag nagde-detour kami sa CR 'pag umaga dahil kay Uri.

Speaking of, she told me na bukas sila pupunta ng exhibit. Wala pa ako sa mood gumawa ng Design plate namin kaya ngayon na lang ako pupunta since ilang araw na rin namang bukas yung exhibit.

Nagchat ako sa GC namin na hindi ako sasabay magdinner. Hindi na rin kami madalas nakakapagsabay pag dinner masyado kasing maraming ginagawa. Kahit si Iradessa nga na halos di na tumira sa dorm eh nagkukulong na rin.

Around six o'clock na nang makarating ako sa museum kasi medyo nalito ako sa pag-uturn at parking. I'm still trying to perfect parking in reverse, so when I'm taking too much time, I'll just wing it and park normally, like now.

Marami-rami rin ang tao sa loob. I got excited and took a picture of my ticket. Pagbalik ko na sa dorm ipopost sa story baka gambalain pa ko.

I also took pamphlets of the exhibits. Anniversary celebration pala ng museum kaya may mga bagong bukas.

I took a fascination in antiques. Tulad ng nakashowcase ngayon. There were a lot of porcelain pottery. Some were laced with gold.

"Seriously?" napasabi na lang ako habang kukumuha ng picture nung jade urn dahil nahagip ng camera ko ang isang pamilyar na tao.

"I'm starting to think that you're stalking me," he raised his eyebrow.

"Ang kapal!"

That was supposed to be just on my head pero sa asar ay nasabi ko ng malakas. Bakit ba kasi nandito 'to!?

"What brings you here?" he crossed his arms.

I raised the pamphlet I got at the entrance. And he also raised the same pamphlet.

I just wanted to unwind!

Lagi na lang 'pag nagkikita kami, may weird tension!

Binigyan ko s'ya ng nanunukat na tingin. He just raised his eyebrow at me and gave me a bored look.

"Wanna go around together?"

"Where are you off to ba?"

He raised another pamphlet. Seriously, pati ba naman yun pareho kami?
