Take Your Time

The Traffic Jam.

To my dismay, I was almost late for class early this morning. It was really, really close! My efforts of sleeping and waking up early did not pay off that well. I know, I really cannot control father time – but the hell, the traffic jam at Alabang, Magallanes, and Taft are the 3 main reasons why I almost got late for school. Every vehicle took their time on spending it with that busy street; it was like no one’s in a big hurry! Hello?! Damn.

 

The Thesis Seminar.

It was abruptly postponed on its first minutes due to power failure. We spent a couple of minutes waiting and waiting for the power to come back – but we were lucky enough. The seminar orientation was pursued… good – for if it was not, we are required to come back this coming Thursday for the resume. Meralco took the time to irritate the Manileños, for the power failure was spread not only within Intramuros but with Manila as a whole.

 

The Thesis.

In order for our batch to produce much better outputs, the college decided to move the dates of the seminars and passing dates of everything about thesis – on an earlier date. It was an unexpected announcement! For the previous batches, they were asked to submit their Chapter 1’s on November, but for our case, in order to produce much better outputs, they re-scheduled it to August – that’s almost 1 and a half month away! Damn! They want us to take the remaining time on deciding who’s on the group, what’s to be proposed as a topic, and when’s the time our sanity would get cracked. The pressure is really on.

 

The Drama.

Supposedly, this would be our first meeting on our Drama class. Unfortunately, she was very late. Though I admire her teaching capabilities, she still let the class wait for 1 and a half hour – considering that that time span is already considered as the class is dismissed. The professor took her time on talking with her colleagues. But ok, she promised she won’t be late anymore. Forgiven. By the way, it is a 5:30 to 8:30 PM class.

 

The Bus.

We were dismissed early, around 7:30 I think. But since I am already an expert regarding the schedules of the roving bus from Alabang to Lawton, I have concluded for myself [c’mon...] that there’s no more available ride at 8:00 PM in Park n’ Ride, Lawton – considering the walk from GL 5^th floor of PLM up to Lawton is almost 30 minutes. So, when I immediately saw an air conditioned Alps bus, I suddenly waved goodbye to my friends and rode the bus at the Mapua exit of Intramuros. I sat at the back seat at around 8:00 PM, and slept. I awoke at around 9:00 PM, and the bus hasn’t moved an inch since I remember sitting on my seat. So I was a bit furious, and then it started to move at around 9:30 already. The driver and some of his friends took the time watching a DVD movie entitled Leon Guerrero [the hell I care with that crap..], finished it, then decided to leave that damn spot. Very, very good.
