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.
HAHAHAHAHAHA!
Sumakay na lang ako ng fx going back to La Salle.
I decided to do my paper na lang sa Cafe Travel.
"Good morning Sir!" The crew greeted me.
Dumiretso naman ako ng lakad papunta sa mga cubicle.
Good thing it's still morning and wala pa masyadong tao.
I chose a cubicle near the window where there's an outlook of La Salle.
"Kaya nga eh! Akala ko mag te-take ka ng masteral sa La Salle kasi nga graduate ka na sa NU."
"Hindi ah, hahahaha! Sinamahan ko lang talaga sister ko that day. Dapat pala sa La Salle na lang ako naglaro, para sabay tayo!"
"Oy hindi ah! Hindi mag cha-champion ang NU sa UAAP kundi dahil sayo! Galing galing mo kaya!"
I was disturbed by the people talking from the other cubicle.
Whereas they are conversing about UAAP and La Salle.
Medyo nacurious ako kaya I tried to stretched out from my place and see kung sino sila.
I might know them.
Pero they are quite away from me kaya hindi ko talaga sila makita.
"Nambola pa."
"Uy no ah! Alam mo ba sobrang na touch ako nung habang nag fi-freethrow ka tapos umiiyak ka na kasi dahil sa parents mo na first time manood."
Huh? So this guy is playing basketball?
Baka kilala ko to.
I think.
Sinilip ko sila ulit, "Nambola ulit."
"Tara na nga! May class pa ako mamaya ano ba."
Pagkarinig ko nun, I went back to what I was doing.
Baka maging awkward pa pag nakita nila na sinisilip ko sila.
"Kunyare ka pa! Hahahaha!"
I noticed na dumadaan sila sa harap ko kaya napatingin ako.
"Ara..." I whispered.
But, I think narinig niya kaya napalingon sila sa akin.
"Thom." She spoke.
I don't even know what to react.
That's why I remained my pokerface.
"Si Glenn nga pal---"
"I know. Kilala ko siya." Then I faked a smile.
"Uh, hi bro. Dito ka pala nag-aaral." He said.
Malamang.
Ano sa tingin mo ginagawa ko ngayon?
Nagsha-shabu?!
Humihithit?!
"Ahhh, sige Thom we have to go may class pa kasi ako. Bye. Ingat ka." Then they both left.
I did actually look at them hanggang sa makalabas sila ng pinto.
Sobrang comfortable nila sa isa't isa.
Nakakainis.
HA?
Bakit ba ako maiinis?!
I mean naiinis?
Ay ewan!
Tatapusin ko na lang tong paper ko.

Hi my dear readers! Forgive me for the late update, kasi I believe in the saying na "Acads muna before Wattpads." joke hahahaha!
Anyways, let's all be proud of ate Mika and Kim sa FIVB! Ignore the haters. Ganyan talaga pag nagiging successful.
Let's support the Archers tomorrow as well as they battle up against NU (if i'm not mistaken) #MAYHEM
Lastly, please do comment hehe. Sobrang sarap sa feeling when someone does. Kahit emoji lang it would mean a lot! Thank you for the support and sana y'all be entertained!
God bless!
