PHOTOCOPY BOOKS!!! Hehehehe...
Pa'no naman, ang mahal ng books namin. Mostly hard-bound pa. So I just buy books na kailangan talaga, and all others, especially non-major subjects, pinapa-photocopy ko na lang. I tell you, it felt DIRTY photocopying books on morality and ethics. Another reason for photocopying books was my sheer laziness in carrying things. So, on a good day, all I carry to school was a Filofax™. Well, not really a Filofax, just a generic patent mock croc planner with notebook leaves.

And let me tell you again another thing about me -- in my [vain] youth, I couldn't leave the house without face powder, kahit Johnson's lang, pwede na. I bring one wherever I go so I could retouch. Sobrang oily kasi ng face ko. Anyhoooo, kasi nga I didn't like lugging heavy bags, I just place my powder in a tiny zip-lock baggie and tuck it between the pages of my planner.

Minsan, I was frantically looking for my notes and accidentally dropped my face powder baggie. I picked it up, not really thinking how suspicious it looked, and went back looking for my notes. Narinig ko na lang yung classmate ko sa likod, whispering to his seatmate:
Classmate 1: Pre, shabu o.
Classmate 2: Pre, baka kaya perfect yung score nya sa last exams natin sa [name of the subject]...
I didn't know whether to be proud or mortified.
Didn't I tell you? I WAS FREAKING BADASS. :)
Nakakatalino ang shabu? Or does it keep one awake and therefore able to study longer? :)
ReplyDeleteHahahaha! The latter. :)
DeleteIn fact, I heard of an anecdote about someone's uncle who took shabu so he'd be able to keep awake while taking care of his newborn.
kaloka yung shabu sis! hahaha! guilty din ako of photocopying books, worse, photocopying my classmate's notes. yes, ganun kami katamad nung college. hiramin ang notes ng pinakamasipag sa klase then photocopy. hahahaha! and like you i don't bring bags din.minsan ballpen and yellow paper lang ok na ko :)))
ReplyDeleteHehehehe, nagpapa-photocopy din ako ng notes, lalo na pag-absent ako. :)
DeleteBenta! Pigil tawa ako dito ahahaha In fairness, nakakaperfect ka ng exam ha. Ang taray! haha
ReplyDeleteNagpapa-photocopy din ako ng books kasi most of the textbooks we use are US based tpos hardbound pa. Mahalia! I only buy those that have cheaper paperback editions.
Right?! Sobrang mahal. I think they should lower the price of books; after all, education is a basic need, hindi naman luxury, diba?
DeleteNaka-perfect nga, isip naman nila crackhead ako. But then, kebs lang.
Ayos ah! Ako naman natuto magkape para makapagpuyat hehe! Mahal tlga books ng college noh? I buy pag wala ako mahiraman tlga, then sell it after the term ends. So may pambili na ulit ng book haha! Best friend ko rin ang xerox machine lalo na for supplemental readings wherein I don't need to buy the book kse a few chapters lang kailangan ö
