I got off from a jeep bounded to Del Monte Avenue. I started to think where I was going. I started to realize that the road pavement was so familiar. The condominiums and houses around me were all a de jevu. Then my eyes caught a vivid place, a school which I knew was distant to my heart. I was at my grade school, Sienna College. I did not know why or how did I get there, but someone inside my head dictated that I have an appointment for a teaching job. This was eerie but exciting as I will attend my interview for philosophy professor. But why the heck I’ll be assigned to this kind of job. Maybe subconsciously I have applied this job. I went inside the campus. There were striking tarpaulins, billboards and even neon lights advertising the possible sale adds flickering in my eyes. Then I accidentally ask a girl about directions going to the faculty room. She then replied that the faculty room is beside the x-ray room located at the basement. Weird! I'm in a school but there is an x-ray room there??? Then I followed her instructions. I saw bushes and bamboos as I trek the campus, trying to find the entrance to the building. Luckily I found a large entrance. Then I saw the stair which was gray in color going down at the basement. It has bigger steps compared to the ordinary stairs. The weirdest thing about it is it was suspended. I went down and I found the faculty room. But instinct told me not to enter. I saw a woman in yellow dress with an office table trying to have some sort of an endorsement to her fellow female co worker in white dress.
I approached the lady in white dressed. She had a chinoy feature. I told her that I’m here for the philo job. But she replied, asking me in what department I was applying for. Then I started to be nervous. I did not know about which department or course I’m applying. But she told me to try to the HRM department. She told me to go up stairs. She told me that HRM faculty is located at the 3rd floor. I hurried upstairs trying to figure what will happen to me not getting the job. Then suddenly the view shifted. I was instantly transferred to a class with 4I students. I did not know what happened but it was like in movies where in you can easily shift the scene from one place to the other. It was so spontaneous that I told my students that Man cannot live without a family. One of my students detested. I was appalled when I saw the student who detested my statement was actually my classmate from high school. He was wearing white uniform and black pants. His face is so clear. I am sure that he was my classmate who loves to explain himself during highs school days He stood up and try to explain. But I cannot hear him. I went to darkness were everything passed out. I woke up realizing I was late for my day job. :)
Make Me Believe On This Moment
by Christian Gallardo
Make me believe to this predicament
Like a murmuring abyss here within
I see you in this solitary moment
A drug I want to swallow in
Love is just near from the heavens
Like picking grapes in the vineyard
We were young in those folly years
Seeping through our inner dreams
But heaven bestows mocking tears
And it screeched through our eyes
Passed and damned on our fears
I let go, you begged, we said goodbyes
Make me believe while I drink these beers
Pricking, torturing and painful like knives
I never been a man for you all these years
But make me believe, just these lives
That you love me and I love you...
Here in my heart…
