Memory To Be Kept

To: Ms. Ederleen G. Escallar

          Please be at my house in Gary, Indiana this Saturday. I’ll be glad if you’ll be there to talk to me even just for this one afternoon. I’ll wait for you here.

From: Mr. Anonymous

          I woke up at nine in the morning and received a letter from this anonymous guy. I didn’t know who he was then he was asking me to go to his house at Gary, Indiana to talk with him for one afternoon. I can’t explain the feeling but I’m really feeling strange with this. But nothing’s wrong with doing so, since I’m already here at Chicago, it would be easier for me to get there on time.

          Exactly at 4:30 am, I travelled to airport and I reached my destination at around nine or ten. I have seen a banner with my name written on it but I didn’t recognize the face of the person holding it. I went there and I was extremely shocked with what I saw. There’s my idol. There’s Michael Jackson! He was that guy who invited me and I’m so glad that I didn’t ignored the invitation.

          We went to his house and talked. “Were you shocked? You seemed to be quiet still.”, he asked me. “Uhh. Yes. I didn’t expect that you would be the one inviting me to spend an afternoon with you. :)”, I replied. “Don’t you worry, I just wanted to have a simple talk to my number one fan.”, he said and smiled. “Oh, thank you very much Mr. Jackson.” I said. “Just call me, Michael.”, he requested. “Uh, if that’s what you wanted, Michael.”, I agreed.

          We talked about his life, and later on with mine. After the talk, he asked me of my favorite song of him. I said that it was his song “you are not alone”. He smiled and asked me to sing the song with him. Just then we sang and enjoyed other songs as well. We ate many foods as if we’re having a picnic. We danced as well and made fun of our stay together. We rested and said that he enjoyed my company and he really thinks I’m his number one fan. I knew everything about him and his songs, as he thinks as well. He gave me his last released album as a token of remembrance, which I placed at the inside pocket of my jacket. I thanked him so much since I’m longing for this and now I have it really from him. I looked outside and found out that it’s getting late in the evening already. He requested me to go again some other day and spend longer time jamming with him, and I assured him. We bid goodbyes and thanks. I left him with a smile from his and mine’s face.

          Suddenly, I realized that someone else had been waking me up. I woke up and I saw myself riding on a plane with the stewardess telling me that my destination is already here. I thanked her and I went back home. I went to Chicago last year and now I am here at my house in Philippines. I recalled my dream. I’m half glad and half sad. I met my idol Michael Jackson, but only in my dreams. I took off my jacket and felt something hard inside it. I got it and saw my idol’s last released album I’m longing to have. I am now a hundred percent fulfilled with joy and happiness. I might be dreaming but I have had his album I desired, unexpected.

Eight Rings of Blunder

I walked through the Evil Educates Forest as fast as I can. I can see a lot of people suffering out there. I accidentally stumbled myself on the floor and looked up. I am afraid that these people might hurt me and let me suffer as how they do.

I have seen and reached the First Ring of Blunder. The Late Comers. I stood up and saw Sir Tom watching the students as they run through the forest for infinite times. Those who decided to stop were hit by a small truck and forced to run again. I asked his attention for a while and he made mention of me that these students were those who were always late going to school.

I walked along and reached the Second Ring of Blunder. The Loud. I saw Ma’am Tenny and the students who were speaking and speaking and speaking without pausing. Others who paused have their tongue’s cut off. She told me that these students were those who used to keep noisy all throughout.

I continued my journey and reached the Third Ring of Blunder. The Bullies. I saw students lying on human wastes. I saw Ma’am Elaine there and confronted her. She said that these students were those who used to torment other students and whenever they get up, they eat human wastes.

I walked again and reached the Fourth Ring of Blunder. The Vandals. I saw students who were painted with mud on their body. They were trying to remove the paintings but as long as they tried to, the paint gets thicker and thicker. Ma’am Lenny was there standing in front of me. She caught my attention and I talked to her. I learned from her that the students who were made to stay in here were those students who used to vandal on different things, and the reason for their punishment is for their bad works that made them suffer. I left.

I got tired and looked for water sources and found a small flowing water source out there. I washed my face with some and boost up. I decided to continue walking and stopped.

I went to the Fifth Ring of Blunder. The Lazy and Filthy. I saw students who were cleaning the floor as they were hanging on the ceiling. I also saw students who were buried in trash. I turned around and realized that Ma’am Mae was there at my back in the first place. I requested her to tell me about these students. She told me that students were here because they were lazy enough to left everything filthy. They do not have the intention to mess up their trashes.

I moved to the Sixth ring of Blunder. The Costly. I saw students tempted by many foods while Ma’am Evelyn was there observing them. They were injected with food starvation medicine. Ma’am Evelyn went near me and simply told me of these students who used to waste and waste.

I was at the Seventh Ring of Blunder. The Cheaters. Students were given 100-item tests by Ma’am Lucky while their feet are submerged on cold water. I approached Ma’am Lucky and she said that these students decided to cheat with their assignments and tests. Every time they finish a test, they were given ten minutes to rest and take the following tests.

At the Eight Ring of Blunder, I saw the Liars. There is Ma’am Pareja viewing the sufferings of students. The students here were brought on fire unto their lower half part of the body, and upper part brought on ice. I felt extreme pity upon them that I almost cried. Ma’am Pareja talked to me and she asked me to stop pitying on them. She mentioned that these students were here because they lied.

She warned me that I might see these kinds of students at school. She requested me to warn as well all the other students and I agreed. But, how? I asked her.

She woke me up. I was just sleeping at our school pavilion. I looked at my watch and it’s already six in the afternoon. I have to go home. I remembered ‘bout my dreams and smiled.

Simple Talk with a Friend

          Thursday. January 03, 2013. 5:00 pm.

The entire day had been a tiring or probably exhausting but productive one for everyone. The last class had ended already and Johnmike and I were talking about home works.

“Hey what’s our homework?” Johnmike confronted me.

I answered him that there’s a lot.

“Will you please kindly tell me all?” he added.

I cannot reject on answering him so I said, “Alright”. He gave thanks.

“Here, do blog 2 which was the conversation,” I said.

He confronted me and said that he knew that already.

“Then blog 5 which was about the enigmatic smile of Monalisa,” I continued.

I also mentioned that if he’s still not yet done with his Suring Aklat then that’s one and another one which was about the questions to be answered about Noli Me Tangere though it’s not yet really needed.

“Okay, is that all?” he asked.

“No. Not yet,” I replied.

“So what are the others?” he continued.

“Completion of the index card in English as well,” I added.

He asked me if and said if it’s done.

I said no.

“Huh, so another?” he said confused and impatient.

“The conjugations, like that,” I easily replied.

He gladly said that he’s sure that it’s enough.

I said he was right.

He thanked me.

“Oh wait, I forgot,” I appended.

“Another one?” he complained.

I said that it’s not really; it’s just the LSB if he wanted it in advanced.

“Oh well, not really needed. But, thanks,” he gladly said.

“You’re always welcome,” I said and smiled.

He asked me that he’d just pack up all his things.

“Okay. Bye. I already have my things packed earlier, eh,” I said as I almost bid goodbye.

“Ahh. Sure. Bye. Thanks again,” he said and started packing things.

“Bye. Welcome,” I ended.

I left the room and went to our service. Johnmike continued packing all his belongings and left after he has done it.
