3am., December 11, 2007. There was this boy who's still awake in a poorly lighted room, doing his Arch 3 plate, rendering some internet-downloaded finishes... he slept at 3:30 am. Quite happy with his work, he woke up at7 am, brushed his teeth, took a bath, prepared himself for another "kayod" of Architecture subjects. Then at school, his classmates greeted him with a cheerful tone: "Ei byron patignan naman ng gawa moooooh..."
[...he showed his work] ["Ohh tignan mo tong sakin..."] [...He looked at the shining shimmering splendid work of his classmate's that resembled a god's masterpiece...] [...Then another classmate showed his work.] [...And another.]
Sa totoo lang, maganda talaga yung gawa ng mga classmates ko. Kaya ayun... medyo nanliit ako. Pero, biglang pumasok sa isip ko na, "Okay lang yan... kapag nainsecure ka pa, ikaw din mahihirapan... Hindi naman lahat tayo pinagpala ng kagalingan sa painting, at bawat tao sa mundo, may forte..."
Lesson learned: Oo nga naman, kaya sa halip na mainis ako sa kanila at sisihin ang sarili ko, eh bakit hindi ko na lang tawanan yun at gawin ko ang makakaya ko, dahil mas masaya kapag gumagawa ka ng bagay na walang iniisip na masama.
