Ang Istorya ng Asukal na Pula

reposted from rockstartin

Dear Ate Charo,

Itago nyo na lang po ako sa pangalang Tin, labingwalong taong gulang at nasa ikalawang taon na sa kolehiyo sa Unibersidad ng Pilipinas.

Lumiham po ako sa inyo upang idulog ang aking kwento..ang istorya ng asukal na pula...

(song playing: Maalaala mo kaya ang sumpa mo sa akin na ang pag-ibig mo ay sadyang di magmamaliw..)


Episode 001:

Bumabagyo, kumukulog, kumikidlat. Brownout sa classroom. Antok na antok na ako noong hapon na iyon, isang mahabang leksyon ang tinuro ni Prof Pnac. Anak ng tokwa, he’s speaking French! Basic ng accounting daw, pero hello(?) Nuclear Physics, Meteorology, Human Anatomy at Astrology combined yata yun! Kulang nalang pakantahin kami ng Bahay Kubo sa tono ng Paa-Tuhod.

…zzzzzzzzz…

Once upon a time in a kingdom Far Far Away, there lived a princess who was locked in castle guarded by a dragon. The pretty little princess was cursed to a lifetime of heartaches. Only the Prince Charming could break the witch’s spell. He was bound to cross the seven seas, traverse the enchanted forest, and fight the big ogre named Shrek. And so his journey went through, he crossed the seven seas, traversed the enchanted forest and fought the big ogre named Shrek.

After seven months, the prince finally reached the castle. He entered the tower and to his alarm, he found the princess lying on the floor swarmed by beasts and covered with blood. He was too late. If only he had been a month early, he could have saved the princess, his princess, he thought. He was too late. All he could do was to blame himself for the fate of the princess. But his regrets were not important now. He has lost the kingdom’s lady, he has lost his lady…

“Uy friend, gising! Ayan na si Prince Charming mo!” sabi ni Sis #1.

“Wheeew! Panaginip lang pala…” so I thought.

“Kinikilig ang lola, hindi na makakatulog yan mamaya.” hirit naman ni Friendship #2.


Nakatulog na pala ako. Hindi ko namalayan. But that was so realistic, I almost see myself as the pretty little princess and is my prince. So ayun, napatulala ako, nag-aantay na may dumating na biyaya. And then poof…straight from the sky, it’s a bird, it’s a plane, no…it’s !

“Oh my gulay!” Nabuhay ang mga nerve cells ko. Ayan na si Superman. Pero hindi pa ako mukhang Lois Lane, Lana Lang palang. “My hero!” Napatalon ang heart ko. “He’s here to save me from this damned dungeon! My knight in shining armor!”

Lumabas ako ng classroom.
