Nakasalubong ko si Jakob today. I greeted him with so much enthusiasm but he just smiled at me and hurried his steps. Kainis talaga. Ilang taon ko na rin siyang crush pero walang progress. I wonder if he likes someone else. I asked Jasmeen but she said she doesn't know. Mukhang wala naman daw itong pinopormahan. Hmmm.... Should I investigate?

Anyway, I failed one quiz today. I reviewed naman but Prof. Dolores' quizzes are hard. Kulang na lang itanong sa amin kung anong sagot sa kahirapan. Or maybe the formula to curing cancer. I can't fail again though. Pasang-awa na ako sa prelim, I'll need to study harder for midterm or else I'm fucked.

It's Pen's birthday today! We all pitched in to buy her an instant camera. Nanlibre naman siya sa Army Navy. I really love Pen. She's sweet and nice. It's really nice to have another friend that I can trust besides Jasmeen and Maqui.

I started my investigation on Jakob BTW. His social media is clean. Wala siyang frequently liked user, it's all very random and mostly guys. Hindi rin siya pala-comment. Maybe I should try stalking him personally?

Jasmeen won't give me her brother's class schedule! She said she won't let me creep on her brother. I need to find another way to get his sched.

Sabi ni Kirsten pumunta raw si Jakob sa bahay namin ng bandang hapon. Sobrang sayang! Hindi ako umuwi agad ng bahay kasi kasama si Jasmeen at Maqui. Kumain kami sa samgyeop. So sad :(

Jasmeen finally told me her brother's schedule for Monday. And I owe her three favors. Well, dalawa na lang dahil ginamit niya ang isa para gawin ko ang presentation niya para sa isang subject.

On another note, wala ang prof ko for 3PM class kaya naisipan kong 'wag na lang pumasok buong hapon. Napakasipag ko nga naman talaga.

Hindi ulit ako pumasok ngayong Monday. Iba naman ang subjects na hindi ko pinasukan last Saturday kaya okay lang.

I know it was such a stalker thing to do but I'm curious!! I wanted to know kung may nililigawan si Jakob. Puro lalaki ang kasama niya buong araw. Pati lunch. He talked some girls but there's nothing special there.

I was about to give up until I saw how he froze while waiting outside the room of his next class. I saw how he stared at a girl who was passing by. He looked at her the same way I looked at him. And the girl didn't even look at him.

I found out the name of the girl Jakob likes. Fabienne Leona Sloan. She's a third year Chemical Engineering student. She's younger than me, prettier, smarter, and richer. Hindi na ako magtataka kung bakit siya nagustuhan ni Jakob. It hurts but I'll be okay.

I finally told Jasmeen the reason why I've been down for the past days. She bought me ice cream and cancelled the two remaining favors to comfort me. To cheer me up even more, she promised to get us tickets to the music fest event next Saturday. I still feel sad but I feel better than I did yesterday. Thank God for my best friend.

Jasmeen caught Maqui taking a photo of her with his instant camera while sleeping in her dorm. Maqui said it's a joke and he's going to blackmail Jasmeen with it pero hindi naniniwala si Jasmeen. Why take a photo with an instant camera? Why not a phone? She said something about it doesn't feel right. It creeps her out.
