Last Days in Greenbelt




despedida with the barkada--characterization--This story does not focus on plots, it even extends its boundaries halfway round the globe.This story is not a catchy romantic passage about love that we'd all die for,coz' we're not catchy, we're just a normal bunch of people, nothing fussy coz' this is us... coz' we're not romantic, we've been hurt, slashed and burned, beaten in and out of romance and we soon realized that life is not all about romance...yeah, this is a passage about love, a love that is not about roses, bears and music but goes beyond what is superficial and made us realize that we were meant to fall in love, forever bounded by a barrel of happy horse...Of course, the day starts with a heavy hang-over, not-bifocally-equipped-geek-girl slankily trying to grasp the stupid cellular who was alarming under a pile of papers which is, by and by literally, all over the dormitory room. Finally feeling the slow vibration of the cellular, not-bifocally-equipped-geek-girl tried to reach for it, disappointed that it seems to be out of her right hand's reach, not-bifocally-equipped-geek-girl hastily stretched and turned for the left not realizing that it was the edge of the bed, and bam!!! she fell.phone registered missed calls from responsible-mamita-who-takes-care-of- everybody who just had a few glasses of alcohol. responsible as always, responsible-mamita-who-takes-care-of- everybody just wanted to make sure everybody was home safe.speaking of everybody, who would ever forget ever-sexy-fashion-icon-with-the-body- of-a-model? Everybody's night-out won't be the same without her. We are all wondering what has happened to her but to my best guess, ever-sexy-fashion-icon-with-the-body- of-a-model is still playing Sleeping Beauty.Speaking of 'playing', there goes smart-funny-cutie-boy-next-door who just texted not-bifocally-equipped-geek-girl, "hey, let's play dota." smart-funny-cutie-boy-next-door finally accepts that not-bifocally-equipped-geek-girl is still trying to linger on the side effects of mefenamic acid while listening to mozart and goo goo dolls alternately and just decides to meet up with tall-and-gorgeous-papable-papa who was already in school.Tall-and-gorgous-papable-papa and smart-funny-cutie-boy-next-door just spent the rest of the afternoon hanging out in the campus. Still tranced from mefenamic acid not-bifocally-equipped-geek-girl joins them and together they talked about the happy horse culture of drinkers while singing videoke for the whole morning.Two o'clock seems to be not-bifocally-equipped-geek-girl's cue to leave smart-funny-cutie-boy-next-door and tall-and-gorgeous-papable-papa so that she could go to, oh how predictable!, the library where she immenses herself with wonders of knowledge.Half past five, tall-and-gorgeous-papable-papa and smart-funny-cutie-boy-next-door meet up with responsible-mamita-who-takes-care-of- everybody on the classroom hallway. Not-bifocally-equipped-geek-girl approaches with books, toolboxes and columnar notebooks and together they walk towards their class.Ever-charming-call-center-agent-from- exportbank was already in the classroom, together they stuck themselves on one portion of that room. Business-minded-jolly-man approaches to join them, followed by slim-pretty-girl-with-a-distinctive- look. Always-rocker-outfit-but-loving- benevolent-boy approaches, then sweet-refined-kind-woman. They shared notes, stories and endless laughter.The teacher enters, moments of silence and after everyone counts ten to one silently in their heads, ever-sexy-fashion-icon-with-the-body- of-a-model enters. "Woh, almost late." and screams to not-bifocally-equipped-geek-girl, "Why are you wearing pink pants?"During discussion, they all exchanged meaningful glances sort of remembering their latest night-out. As the teacher leaves the room, they begin to chat again. While waiting for the elevator, they meet up with clever-neat-tidy-sophisticated-lady- with-glasses-jeans-and-shirt. Outside the building, they begin to pile up, still gleaming with the laughter of such contagious love. yeah, such contagious love.This story does not focus on plots, it even extends its boundaries halfway round the globe.This story is not a catchy romantic passage about love that we'd all die for,coz' we're not catchy, we're just a normal bunch of people, nothing fussy coz' this is us... coz' we're not romantic, we've been hurt, slashed and burned, beaten in and out of romance and we soon realized that life is not all about romance...yeah, this is a passage about love, a love that is not about roses, bears and music but goes beyond what is superficial and made us realize that we were meant to fall in love, forever bounded by a barrel of happy horse...speaking of happy horse, they all begin to walk away, guess we all know where they're going...
