monday sickness

monday. like all the other days of the week, i had to drag my tardy ass off to school once again-- ride the bus, eat lunch, pretend to take notes, waste away paper with doodles and ride the bus once more. it's routine, almost automatic and nearly mechanical.
my anatomy class starts at eight and (i believe) i had steel guts to arrive an hour later hardly knowing anything about the day's topic on blood and the cardiovascular system. i entered the classroom just like how i always did, only this time, it felt like 50 out of the 70 plus pair of eyes looked in my direction. it wasn't the kind of eyes you get for being gorgeous or different or pretty when you enter a room. it was more like the eyes you get for disrupting the momentum of a roomful of students who were so absorbed with hemoglobin and erythrocytes and leukocytes blah blah. God knows what they were thinking. they could have just figured out why i was late or maybe a million other things could have been running through their preoccupied heads. not my point though...
where was i? right. so i entered the room closed the door and sat on the first vacant chair i saw. there i was trying to get the tune of things and congratulating myself for having reached the classroom before the prof locked the door. after a while, i heard the teacher say something about not checking the attendance because we could find the lectures on books anyway. all these running and hurrying for nothing. ok that's great.

Nakakkita ka na ba

nung slideshow? Hindi yung sa powerpoint ha. Yung ibang klase. Yung may mga maliliit na picture tapos isiusuksok sa isang machine na pag pinipindot umiikot. pero hindi mabilis yung ikot. ang ikot niya isang slide lang per pindot. gets? sobrang hi-tehc nun pare! malalaos ang LCD projector. Lalo na pag nnarinig mo na yung kasabay niyang cassete. wow pare ang asteeg! pag narinig mo na yugn nag voice over dun... shet pamatay! para kang dadalhin sa ibang dimensyon. para kang babalik sa nakaraan. medyo garalgal at ngongo yung boses pero ang ganda. tapos pag narinig mo yung parang bell na sound ibig sabihin nun kelangan ng pindutin yung machine para ilipat na yung slide. yung ga slide naman hi-tech. monochromatic ang kulay. monochromatic red. medyo malabo.
sa mundo ng mga pirated cd at internet, sinong magaakala na may mga bagay pa palang tulad nun? mas mabuti pang magbasa ka na lang ng libro colored pa.
