TITLE 1: COINCIDENCE?

I left Dagupan around past 9am or exactly 9am. We were on one of the stop-overs when an old guy sat next to me. Well, he wasn't THAT old. Just, old. Maube around 50 or 60+. Anyways, when he sat down, I caught a whiff of this funky smell he had. Sort of like a mix of mud and rust. Disgusting, really. He began reading some papers and stuff so I didn't mind him. Later on, he was texting and then he placed his phone on my seat! How rude was that?! So whenever he reaches out tograb his phone, his hand brushes against my thigh! Eeeeewwww!!!! Then he borrowed the conductor's ballpen. Then he turned to me and asked if I was a student in Manila. I said yes. He asked where I was studying. I said UST. Then he asked how many units I'm taking this semester. I answered, 26. He looked genuinely surprised when he heard this and demanded to know if I was sure. I said that I was positive. Here's the stuff he said:

~~~ He's a professor from UP Los Banos, going by the name of Teodoro Mendoza;
~~~ He's on his way to Manila to do some research and observation;
~~~ He doesn't allow his students to take more than 18 units; 21 for graduating students;
~~~ He says that UP is planning on increasing their tuition from 300 pesos per unit to 1,000 pesos per unit (big change, huh?)
~~~ He said that most parents would rather pay other professors just to let their children pass, than ask for a second chance to take the test/quiz;
~~~ He said that the salary of the professors in UP is pretty low compared to UST and La Salle.

Full professor - UP, 13,000+; UST, 15,000+; La Salle, 27,000+

~~~ He said that a lot of professors from UP want to transfer to the other universities mentioned above to get higher pay (that's why they're planning on increasing their tuition)
~~~ He said that the standards of La Salle, UP and Ateneo are too low;
~~~ He said that education in our country today is low because of the number of units the students are taking; the more they get, the more loaded they are, and the less time they have to finish everything. That's why he doesn't allow his students to take more than 18 units so they won't get overworked and they get to finish in time.

That man was being really honest. And when I mean honest, I mean BRUTALLY honest. I was already cringing from the stuff he was saying. That guy was really intimidating. Scary. He kept on saying things like how i should know the standing of my school in the board exams or something. I do know for a fact that 97% of the passers of the board exams in engineering are all from UST. That's pretty much all I know. The rest weren't so clear to me.


TITLE 2: SHUT THE F*** UP!!!!!!

We all know that there are two types of "mayabang"; the good and the bad.

Now, a certain classmate of mine called G***** A*** (to my classmates of 1BES1, you all know who this guy is; just fill in the blanks) is so darn mayabang that I just wanna slap him!

He is SO LOUD and SO BOISTEROUS that I could feel the blood boiling inside me everytime I hear him. Like when we were checking the test papers of anther course in English, we found out that we all did the wrong thing but then he began saying "YES! TAMA AKO! TAMA AKO!" And all of us were like, so what? So what kung tama ka? Is it enough to make you pass ba ha?! Then when Professor Shimamoto asked if we wanted to see our test papers, he practically shouted "YES!" I remember saying to Janel, "Confident ba siya na pumasa siya? Nagpapatabi pa nga yan nung exam kasi wala daw siya alam! Tapos ganyan siya!". I could see a vein throbbing in Janel's temple everytime that guy speaks up. She practically ignored him when he was calling her to ask about something. And then when Kuya Rommel and Kuya Janno came into our classroom to announce something, sumasabat pa naman siya! Ang bastos!! They were announcing something about the seminar that we were going to have on Thursday and he kept on butting in! Saying things like, "Pupunta ba si Cheska?", or "Kasama ba yung mga nasa 4BES3", or "Hindi ako nagenjoy nung GA kasi wala si Cheska dun".

Hay!! Sorry for that outburst. I just HAD to get it out of my system. Never keep that kind of stuff to yourself, it could kill you. Seriously. I don't care if he reads this. It's all true. Everyone can see it. Di lang kami, pati yung mga nasa older years. Buti pa sila ang haba ng pasensiya nila sa kanya. Pero nakikita ko narin na napipilitan din sila minsan. Ang bastos talaga eh.

On a lighter note, I passed my exam sa History, BES and Theology. Yipppeee!!!:) 3 down, 5 to go! Oh lord, help me...
