"Saan kaliwa ko?" Tanong ko kay Marion na ngayon ay nagbabasa ng libro.


"Ito," Maikling sagot niya at itinuro ang isang kamay ko. Agad kong nilagay ang relo sa kamay na kanyang itinuro.


Narito kami ngayon sa Museum para sa minor class namin na Art App. We are now 4th year college, under the program of BS Biology.


Sama-sama kaming block sa isang tabi habang hinihintay ang prof at magiging guide para sa tour ng museum. Aligaga na rin ang block representative namin na si Bea kaka-chat sa gc para sa mga blockmates naming 'di pa rin dumarating.


Here in college, we believe that you won't survive all alone. That's why we offer a hand to those who are in need. Minsan nakakalungkot din dahil kada sem may ilang 'di na tumutuloy. From 57 students, we are now down to 24.


College is not just about how intelligent you are in the field you're taking. Instead, being wise in choosing your companions. Luckily, I'm in the right circle of friends.


"Why don't you get some tatts na lang kasi para 'di ka na nahihirapan?" Bless suggest while tapping her phone.


"Alam mo namang ang hassle pag magpapakuha ng dugo pag may tatts, tapos some of the attendants are dismissive makita lang na may tatts, kahit pa sa state regulated entity ka naman nagpatattoo," Sagot ni Marion


"I really thought advantage ang pagiging ambidextrous. Nakakawala pala ng sense of direction," Sabi ni Clara at tumawa. Well akala ko rin.


"Shhh, lower down your voice, ang ingay mo," Pagsasaway ni Marion kay Clara dahilan para tumigil na siya sa pagtawa.


"Good morning, Biology students! Sorry kung medyo natagalan, something suddenly came up. By the way, I am Mrs. Garcia and I will accompany you for today's tour." Pagpapakilala ng Ginang habang inaayos pa ang kanyang salamin.


"Regarding with the original plan na kayong block lang, medyo maiiba. The college of Political Science is here to join us." Pagtapos sabihin ay dumating ang ilang mga naka civillian at nagsimula nang mag-ikot at ipakilala ang ilan sa mga sikat na sining.


"And now we are in front of a well-known art called, The murder of Governor-general Fernando Manuel de Bustillo Bustamante y Rueda. This art was painted by Mr. Félix Resurrección Hidalgo y Padilla," Panimula ng guide sa harap.


"The picture depicts an image of the battle between state and church. They said that the main cause of this tragedy was graft and corruption between the colonial government, rich merchants, and the church. More like a people power in the Spanish colonization era—I guess history repeats itself." She said and laughed shortly.


"However, according to Spanish historian, Hidalgo was misled by some advisers to wrongly portray the Spanish missionaries as the promoters of the murder—" 'Di ko na narinig pa ang mga sumunod dahil sa pangungulit ni Clara sa tabi ko.


"Mara, may prospect na ako sa mga Polsci," Bulong ni Clara sa gilid ko habang inaalog pa ako.
