THOMAS
"Approaching Central station.." The Engineer (train driver) announced.
I'm heading to the National Museum today because we need this for our project sa isang subject namin which is arts.
And yes, nag commute lang ako.
Coding kasi.
Nilakad ko na lang papuntang museum pagbaba ko sa lrt.
It's not that far naman eh.
When I arrived, nadatnan ko yung prof ko and one of my classmates, si Bella.
"Hi Thom!" She greeted.
I nod.
"Uh, Thomas?" sir Gil, my prof called me. "Please sign here for your attendance." I went to him and signed.
He thanked me afterwards and told us that we may start to roam around the museum.
I actually have to choose a certain painting or art dito sa museum and if may napili na, I have to do observations and reflect on it.
Feels like it's high school though.
I stopped infront of a painting, and it looks like oil was the medium of the painting.
Silhouette-ish yung painting.
If you look at it parang medyo dramatic yung scene.
"You like it?"
I turned my gaze to who was talking.
She looks like a prof, "Yes po. Parang the woman in the picture is in deep thoughts."
"Thank you. I painted that siguro about a month na rin." I was stunned.
Siya pala nag paint nito.
"Oh, ma'am kayo po pala ang painter. What a great artwork!" I commended. She thanked me once again. "Uhm, may I know the reason why you painted this po?" I asked.
She paused and smile, "Alam mo I rarely tell people my explanation about my paintings pero since you asked for it, sige. I was walking along a park few weeks ago or should I say a month na rin, I think that was already 4 or 5 in the afternoon. Napatingin ako sa isang babae who was staring at the sun set. Parang ang dami niyang iniisip. There was a mixture of happiness, sadness, and excitement in her face. Ang hirap i-interpret actually. Nevertheless, she looks familiar kasi sa akin and I must say despite of her short hair, ang ganda niya pa rin. Magaling mag dala. May iba pa namang factors why I painted her, siguro na-inspire lang talaga ako na mag paint that time kaya pag uwi ko I started this right away. Uhm, ayun lang naman siguro."
Lucky girl though.
Di niya alam na napinta na siya.
Something's maybe really special sa kanya.
I chose this painting na lang for my reflection and observation paper.
I left the museum right away. Mamaya pa naman yung training namin pero I want to write my paper sa isang tahimik na place.
Pero naalala ko bigla na wala nga pala akong dalang kotse.
