The CSB Experience 2: The One Hundred Sixty-Peso BUFFer Lunch (Stress on the "buff" to make it sound more French-like)

    I was having my super expnsive lunch at the SDA Caf, costing me over Php160.00 with matching C2 Big and 50-pesos worth of a pair of sandwich. I was seating next to Mandy who was entertaining her fellow colleauges probably from her classes. Mandy introduced me to one of them and I said hi to them. She, with Chris, had to go somewhere so sheleft me with her friends as well as bags from Yana and Hoogie.

   So these guys were talking about all things FREHAND this and FREHAND that. Suddenly the guy in curls (forgot his name) asked me if I experienced it too (inconvenience of having Frehand classes in a not-so-desired classroom). I said "Ah, I don't have Frehand yet...". As I was dragged into their conversation, we were talking topics ranging from MMA to Porn to Soft Porn to Cruel Intentions.

   That's where one my classmates, Jorge I'm guessing, came into the picture. He's a friend of Kervin who is blockmates with Jus. He's a classmate of mine in Joseriz and Cathwor and often see him wearing a cap and being with his friends during class. He (obviously he knows them too), compliments that I have a very peculiar choice of words during class. Flattered by his comment, I reasoned out that I'm sort of a history buff, a "walking kodigo" kumbaga in high school, and a misunderstood "know-it-all" right now in college (an image I want to change). He believes that that there's nothing wrong with being a know-it-all. But really, it's very nice of him to say good things to a person.

   As the 160-Peso lunch conversation dragged on for the next 30 minutes, we talked about national politics, from who is the worse president of the country (Marcos?) to the best one (the guy in curls said Carlos P. Garcia, while went for Diosdado Macapagal), to the state of economy then and now. All of that completely (pls some Filipino phrases) in English!

   I'm really looking forward to meeting them again since having a conversation with them really helps clear away the emo college blues. Now that's a complement!
