The Last Mon Standing

i was not actually planning to write anything, but since there were certain things that happenened to me this week that were not anticipated…

WEDNESDAY

I was going home when I heard that there was a cultural exchange presentation between the delegates from Andong National University and the Education PE Majors…

i learned that the koreans came here last january 14 and they will stay until late february… they were here to learn how to speak english… (which is really interesting, i can’t believe that there were people who’re willing to  pay so much and travel such a very long distance just to learn the language,cant they learn it all by themselves?).

now back to the cultural exchange…

so, my schoolmates showcased their singing and dancing skills (both in folk and modern genre)…

then, the koreans…

i was intently listening to the korean speaker as she told us what they’re  going to perform… she said, "this type of stretching is really popular in korea"…

and i was like… " Ano daw? did she say STRETCHING? is she serious?"… well i was not mistaken… most  of them afterall, which were all male performers, were wearing jogging pants and white sweat shirts(the delegates were more or less than thirty and according to what  i observed there were only two girls with them, including the speaker)

and so that’s what they did…

they stretch their arms here…

while their leader, a tall bespectacled guy in his early twenties, count (i dont really know if he really did count because he was speaking in korean, and all that i heard was repetitive grunting sort of noise)

they stretched their arms there…

they stretched their hips here…

they stretched their hips there…

they jumped here…

they jumped there…

We just cant help but laugh. And they were, I think, enjoying all the attention.

after that we gave them a very loud and crispy applause… they deserve it, don’t you think?…

THURSDAY

i slept the whole day, my time was 7:30-10:30 am only, because our lit professor was terrible to us… he was so mean!!!

FRIDAY

my philippine history professor is just awesome… (one day, i’ll write something about the philippine history here) i just had a really great time listenintg to him…

at 2, i went to my PE class… i dont believe it, our professor was teaching us Cha Cha… (heck, why not, my PE is ballroom dancing)…

i dunno how to dance and the worse part is… i have a partner and she was exrtremely annoyed… she kept on saying that we’re going to fail the subject… i just cant really dance… ARGH!

after school, i met three of my former high school classmates..

MR Z

he was my classmate when i was in third year, i was walking to the bus terminal when suddely someone stepped on my shoe… i turned around and immediately saw him…

he took economics in UP… i walked with him while we exchange our life stories after we parted ways. he was my seatmate anyway. i found out that he is now a proud father , and he is now taking a course in a college somewhere here in bataan…

just as what i expected, nothing has change, he still brags a lot, he still laughs like a goat and he is still smart as usual… and he still enjoy making fun of the same classmates that we had had… i really enjoyed reliving our high school life.

MR ELECTRON

we met him in the bus, with MR JERICO… he was my classmate all througout my high school years. though we met a couple of times last year, this was the first time this year… he was also my seatmate (from sophomore until the graduation day)

he has now an overgrown and curly goatee on his chin…

MR JERICO

my classmate when I was in first year… we talked a little…

he is still that tall…
