Woven on Time (Student Series #3)

Student Series 3: Filipino Time

Punctuality seems less important in a society where being late is viewed as a negative yet normal culture. Some students grow up exercising Filipino Time habit that silently expresses impoliteness and disrespect to the time of the person they would be meeting.

Eulalie Foinnuala knows the value of time since childhood, thus she always arrives earlier or just on time. Alam niya na ang mga kamay ng orasan ay gumagalaw at ang oras ng buhay niya ay nababawasan. Subalit hindi lahat ay tulad niya lalo na noong tumungtong na siya sa highschool. She gets used of waiting for people as she tries to understand their reason for being behind time. Crocheting is one of the things that keeps her from reducing to tears every time she waits for someone.

The ball of yarn symbolizes her time. She hopes that even in the last knot of this beautiful woven craft, at least that certain person can see it. Would that person be able to fulfill her hope on time? Or just like she always does, she would keep waiting... until she cuts the last string of her life?
