"Crazy and Beautiful"
I
Weaving the Threads...
I've met a lot of people in my life, Some I've known since I was a child and some I've met along the road of my life. I do not regret having known these people, they have shaped my profile into what it is now. I don't care much for the dramas of life but I guess I can't control them. I've shed tears more than once and it does feel good sometimes.
I believe in life but I believe much more in death. Death creates a bigger impact than life. I hate cats but when I saw this old scraggy cat dying after being hit by a bicycle, I felt bad, I buried the cat and was glad that no other cat decided to attend the funeral, though I felt sad for the cat since his relatives were not good enough to be the one to bury him. Well, maybe he was not a good cat after all that's why they left him. Anyway, what did it matter? He's gone.
Now, I'm walking along P.Noval headed for UST. I'm gonna study there. My mom thought I made a good decision but my Lola said I should be gone to Ateneo instead. She is a Rizal fanatic so it's no wonder she said that. And I like the idea of wearing uniform cause it makes me feel like a highschool student.
I decided to pursue Journalism because it's the job where all you do is write. You can sit all day, eat anything and earn lots of money so, what more could I ask fo? My Dad once told me it was a great field but I really didn't think much about it.
I walked to the AB building found in Dapitan. Hah! The haven for simple young men like me! This is the hottest paradise in UST lo!!!
I almost lost my balance! I looked at the object who almost toppled me down.
"Sorry" she told me and I smiled back. She's cute!
"Sorry" I told her, it was all I could think of.
Then she left.
Darn! How lame was that? Didn't even got the guts to ask what's her name! Well, I strode on, cursing myself for being stupid and ended up in room 215.
I breathed in the "sweet" smell that emenated from the Girl's comfort room. There was a mixture of scents and loose powder, the sound of flushing toilets excited chatter. The atmosphere of my life for the whole semester!
I went inside chaching!!! chaching!!!
I just hit the jackpot!!!
This is a nirvana of goddesses!!!
My eyes glowed in delight. I remembered a phrase from some great man who must be dead by now " Look around you, these people are the threads of your life and they have benn weaved together..."
"You're a lucky man!!!" I told myself and walked on towards some friendly looking boys at the back.
