Remembering

> Ma'am, magpapasa lang po ng appeal. 
- Hah, bat ngayon lang? Di na kami tumatanggap ng appeal e. Sabi ni Doc. P wala na daw tatanggaping appeal.
> Ganun po ba? Di na po ba talaga pwede?
- Nasakanya na lahat  e, di na raw siya tatanggap. Teka, nandyan siya, hintayin mo, sakanya ka makiusap.
+ What do you need?
> Sir, I'll just pass my letter of Appeal. I've been dism...
+ Sorry, I can't help you there. You had enough time to pass that appeal. You don't even know how to sign your name!
> Sir, please give me one more chance. I waited for the line at the admin office that's why I wasn't able to pass it earlier.

+ OK, I'll give you a chance to defend your case.
....
+ Hurry up, I don't have all time!
> I'm sorry sir, here's my situation. I was dismissed....blah blah.
+ You're lucky to have gone this far. Your grades are barely satisfactory. Swerte ka ngayon ka palang nadidismiss. Can you tell me why you failed these?
> Sir kasi po... blahblah
+ Is that it? You're just telling me what's written on your letter. Can't you expound more?
> Uhm sir, I failed because....
+ You know what, I don't think I can believe you. I'm not saying your lying but I don't believe your excuse.
...
+ I'm very sorry for your situation but for this semester, I can't accept you in this department. You have to find another department or college that will accept you.
> But sir, please give me one more chance.
+ I'm very sorry. You know, we always have cases like yours and I know how bad you feel, but for now, I can't give you another chance. 

This was how my last enrollment in the college of engineering went. And yes, the interview is still very fresh in my memory. After a year, I think I've been able to move on and settle with where I am now. While I do feel regret from time to time, I know I'm in a better place. Then again, I really miss that life, and those people. Sigh. Here's to a better second semester! XD

Curtain Call

My dreams have been missing you and the last time you visited was a bad memory left on my mind. Still, I want to meet you there, my dream girl. Sandman be my wish maker..... oOo It's a realization I don't want to make sense out of. I've been in college for 6 years and it seems the direction I'm heading to is as clear as murky water. Yes it's true I want to be that engineer. But it seems, as time passes by that I'm not clearly affiliated to any institution, the passion I had for that is slowly fading. And I'm getting back to that time when I was in that catholic institution trying to pretend I want to be something that I really didn't. I'm not saying I really don't want to be an engineer. I'd want to be one but at this moment, I'm feeling a bit confused; partly because I'm not confident that I'd be accepted to that, my fourth university, and partly because I'm not confident that I can meet expectations. I really haven't met...

The Walk

Awhile ago, I had one of my most emotion-inducing moments in college. Not that I always have those moments. It’s just that, awhile ago, I never expected to have a me-time. I never have these moments save for love-life related issues. And so it goes. I went back to the dorm early since I figured I’d have nothing much to do at the Agu-tambayan and I felt like resting or doing some computer stuff. As is to be planned, after the people are done doing non- lakwatsa stuff, I’d invite them to dinner and to hang out someplace. Seemingly, plans don’t really work out as I please. At past 8pm, I started inviting people to dinner through SMS. I was getting pretty hungry since the last meal I had was approximately 10 hours ago, and it wasn’t really what I call a fulfilling meal. 10 minutes passed yet I still haven’t received a single reply from the people I contacted. I signed a late permit at the dorm desk as I thought I’d be having a long night. Since no one yet replied, I decided to go and hav...

Defining Awkward

6 days ago, as I was about to bid goodbye to my mom before going to school, she whispered something to me. Well, a few minutes before that, she was ranting about how I got mixed up in the situation I'm in. I just ignored her. Then, as I was about to leave, she told me that she wanted to punch me. A few weeks prior to that, I was asking for permission from my dad to attend an org event at a mall in clark when I was bugged a few questions regarding the event. Then these lines came up: "Bakit ka pa pupunta diyan? Kalimutan mo na yan..." About 5 or 6 hours ago, we passed by this school along the road. A tarpaulin hung loosely on its fence congratulating some students for winning on a certain competition. My sister tried to read what was written but wasn't able to read what the event was. I told my sister what it was all about. Then my father spoke "next year wala ka nang alam tungkol diyan" At dinner last night, my younger brother was showing his graduation pic...
