bambi & i fought last sunday. here's how it went:
lee: ano ba naman yan??? (angry tone)
bambi: bakit??? (bewildered)
lee: bakit ka dyan nagpark ng kotse mo??? (getting pissed)
bambi: saan??? (getting irritated)
lee: ayan o! (points to a bright red volvo in the middle of cortes de las palmas @ alabang town center...)
bambi: e kasi naman, walang mapagparkingan yung driver ko! e ikaw, bakit ka nagpark doon???
lee: saan???
bambi: ayun o! (points to a mitsubishi adventure in the middle of the activity are of the same mall)
lee: e ayaw kong maarawan yung kotse e!
lee & bambi: (erupt into laughter)
end scene
========================
i will make a conscious effort to make the titles into alliterations. i do it as a tribute to my comm 1 prof, fr. nudas, the only jesuit teaching (as he claims) in the state university. he insisted that the titles of our compositions be in alliterative form, and i must say it is a welcome creative challenge.
i wonder whatever happened to fr. nudas. some say he died, which isn't very surprising. he was already around 70 years old when i attended his classes & that was almost a decade ago. i have always wanted to talk to him after attending that sem (i was a very impressionable frosh at the time) and he imparted knowledge without making you feel too stupid. i almost had the chance to attend his class on my junior year, but the scheduling for my major subjects couldn't allow it, so i missed a chance to learn his take on shakespeare. if he had passed on, i regret not seeing him again for one more time.
i'll post some of the nudas stories here, much to the amusement & chagrin of my blockmates. i hope they'll enjoy the memories as much as i did. here's a sample:
scenario: first day of comm 1 class
nudas: who reads the newspaper?
class mumbles affirmation
nudas: please read the Today, because it's the best newspaper around. why? because it has the best columnists. mr. castro, please come up here and read this article in front.
castro: (reads aloud) "English for Competitiveness." In the global arena....
nudas: (interrupts) no, read everything...
castro: (reads aloud) "English for Competitiveness." By Alfeo G. Nudas, SJ...
class: (laughter)
i miss those days... :P

I've been wanting to go back to CSA and thank our history teacher... the one with the hot pink lipstick...
I attribute my lightning-speed note-taking to her and her insta-dictated lessons. I don't think I remember much of world history but I remember frantic scribbling. A lot of frantic scribbling.
hey... how come diliman has such interesting professors? well... maybe we do too in manila, i recall my atheistic prof na super lutong magmura and my other philo prof that perpetually hangs and hardly goes to class. and of course, suzie, kim's and my "favorite" teacher... the one that's super fashion victim that looks like cynthia luster na mukhang kurtina pumapasok. :P or maybe interesting profs like that... i couldn't notice (that's what i get from dozing at the back of my room, or instead of being center front hyperactively participating, i'm cramming a lab report or reading my cosmo. :D

i think she's still at san ago and she got married! well, this was a few years ago, so it is expected :P
to flipflipmermaid:
hmm, how about that prof of yours with a tendency to grade your papers down to the decimal points? it's never 75% or 82.5%, it's 84.36516549851654%.... :P
