Phenomenology of Love

Chapter 1

Hand's Rule

A typical Monday for a lazy student like me. 7am class but still I am here, enveloped with my comforter as well as lying lazily.

Ringggggggg

A bang sound of my alarm clock that said it's already 6:30am and it's a 15 minutes travel to school. How could I actually speed up using a minutes to prepare myself?

So

I end up late

Lucky for me, our professor in History were absent and that's an achievement for a lazy student like me right?

" Kate "

A loud annoying voice took my attention.

"Oy babae! Late kananaman. Buti na lang wala si Maam Salasain para sa History natin. Alam mo naman na kahit madalas lang yun pumarito sa room natin eh mala Speedy pizza naman ang surprise quiz niya"

She is Fritzel May, One of my Closest' friend dito sa school.

" ay oo nga" Tinampal ko ang sarili habang iniisip na Maswerte nga ako. Di ako nakapag aral at nakalimutan ko na may quiz pero thank God wala siya.

~*~

Fritzel and I hanged around the inside campus of WMSU.

Pagod na kame sa kakalakad. We have 2 hours available time so we grabbed the opportunity to hang around and yeah food porn.

We end up eating omelette na tag 15php with free juice na. Oh diba sosyal? Mura na masarap pa.

"So what now?"

She look at me.

" wala pa sina Mariel at Charlene. Where the hell they are right now? " markadong inis sa mukha ni Fritzel na akala mong mukhang nanay inaantay ang anak na galing sa skwelahan.

"Jither also" I add

"Ohh! Dito na pala si Jither oh. Oy Jither! Dalagang pilipina kung maglakad tayo diyan ah? "

" Sumama ako sa Highschool buddies ko eh. May laag sila mamaya kaya napasama ako sa deskusyon. I want to freed myself also. Ayoko rin na puro pag-aaral. Nakakaloka"

He's Jither Turno. Also a friend of mine. We have these so called group named PABEBEKADA'S. Sounds weird but yeah we do act weird literally

" aba aba! May nalalaman ka nang freed myself ah. Sounds dirty Porno" we call him Porno dahil na rin sa katunog nito ang apilyido niya. By the way, Did I mention he's gay? YES! he is but not that kind of liberated gay or something.

" Did I heard my name?" Tanong ni fritzel.

" gaga! Freed hindi frit. Ampota ah! Kumain ka na lang diyan para tumaba kana man. Ang patpatin mo eh " That' s Porno so PRANKA

Tinuloy namin ang paglalakad hanggang sa tumambay kame sa CLA(College of Liberal Arts) kiosk.

" ang Tagal naman nila mariel, Aral na lang tayo oh. Philosophy na ang sunod na subject natin" suhestiyon ni Fritzel.

Ayan nanaman yang Philosophy, Makikita ko nanaman ang crush kong Second Year College na Irregular. BwhahahaXD sigi na nga. Magstustudy ako for him para maging Turn on naman na sa isang katulad kong babae na mahilig mag-aral. I heard kasi na he's good in that subject and he's been doing great to maintain his high grades in that particular subject. So nakaka-turn on siya. Shet.

FLASHBACK

June 3, First Monday and First Day of being a college student.

I was a bit horified to go to school. Mag-isa lang kasi ako. I dont have a classmates in highschool na kumuha ng Psychology so now I am alone. Alone in the meadow.

My firts class is 7am which is History. I was a bit excited to be a freshies of my current school so I prepared myself for this happenings.

I entered the room without hesitation until I sit quietly beside a girl.

She looks like a Highschool student most likely around Grade 8? So cute. She is so small. I am a 5'4 in height so maybe, she is a 4'8 for me. Hahaha.

"Hi " I greet nicely

" oh hello. Fritzel May nga pala and you?" Wow ingles! First day ah! Mapasubok nga!

" Russell Kate " I extend my arms to grab her pleasantly greetings with a gesture of an handshake.

" so do you have companions here?" Sabay tingin sa mga co-blockmates ko.

" no. I am alone also" she smile at me. So cute. She look's like a hamster to me.

" nice to meet you fritzel" with smile. We became buddies.

A week after that awful first days of being a college student. I met plenty of students who are greatfully acknowledge me as their newly classmates. Mahirap kaya mag adjust dahil baguhan palang kaya most probably na makaka-conclude ka na somehow they look at you with a first bases na FIRST IMPRESSIONS nakatanim na yan sa utak ng mga tao kaya no need to emphasize.

It's Philosophy Time again.

It's our actually the first meet up with our Professor namely Prof. Pernia. Graduated in DSLU.

So we have these Introduction of each students.

Kinakabahan ako kasi baka ipadagdag niya ang ano ang nakuha mo nung HighSchool.

Di naman sa bobo ako eh may Limamg medalya ako noong nag-graduate ako pero ayoko lang sabihin na baka sabihin pa nila na pinag-yayabangan ko ang nakuha kong award. Alam niyo naman na Impressions.

Although tamad ako pero pursigo naman. Ayoko rimg magsinungaling sa kanila kasi di naman ako ganun.

Yung kaliwa ko nang classmate ang magpapakilala tapos ako na.

" Good day! I'm Geumont kiel Montreal. Graduated from Claret Highschool and I'm a varsity player"

Nag oooooohh ang mga classmates ko. Gwapo naman siya pero not yung type ko. Chinito siya,matangkad, di masyadong maputi pero parang maputi na rin, small lips, tangos ang nose at parang bad boy pero parang hindi na rin. I dont know. Impressions nga diba.

Crush lang pero not love. O.A naman na Love agad. Ahah. Crush ko siya. Gwapo kasi eh.

I saw how he lifted his chin and look at me. Nakatingin kasi ako sa kanya. Napaiwas tuloy ako. Nakakahiya. Ogosh!

" Hi! My name is Russell Kate Falca. Graduated from a public school which is ZCHS and I'm proud of it. I was a journalist bacj then and I do a member of diff. Organization inside and outside of our school premises" I bit my lower lip as I finally said the words that I don't meant to say infront of them.

I sat down and roam my face as I Heard gasp from them.

With that, aksidenteng natamaan ang siko ko sa ballpen kaya ito nahulog. I was about to pick it up when my hand is nearly the pen ngunit I felt a sudden hand na kukuha rin sana nito kaya napatingin ako sa kanya at

Hand's rule

He marked the word hand at hindi ko alam kung ano nga ba ang ipinapahiwatig niya ron.

~*~

At ayon. Mag-aaral talaga ako. Dyusko! Crush ko na talaga siya. Ang gwapo eh.

Nag-aral na lamang kameng tatlo hanggang sa inaatay na lang naming maubos ang natitirang oras at ang pagdating rin nila mariel.

Happy All souls day everyone
