media in america dean francis alfar wrote some observations about america in his blog.

i stumbled at his apt ending - "where words come into play, we want the universe to explore."

i wanted to blogback, "the main bookstore chains here in the u.s. like to think they can get you any media thing you want, even if it's three days later. little do their business minds know. ..."

but that sounds lame and incomplete. i'd just come from my fiction class right now. the lesson for today? if you can't reach your classmates, your teacher will almost always reach for you, mainly coz he dun want you to turn into that strange sad kitten in the corner. mwahahaha!

i wrote about AS, or palma hall, in UP diliman, was made to read it out loud, and he remembered it in recall. dammit, that's not even my campus, but i went to high school there, and always thought i'd go to college there too. but God granted me my king palm boughs at UPLB instead, and despite my resolve never to look back and to get used to questions, "bakit hindi diliman?" i write about pink staircases a world away from the imaginations in that classroom.

dammit. what did i expect from an arts college? it is going to be an interesting semester.
