Tropa

5th

Today the whole city of Lucena is alive with revelry, music and laughter. Everyone on the main street is enjoying the festive aura. Especially those who are into live shows… (huh???) and live bands. Yes, while many city dwellers are feasting their eyes on what the city offers for the Pasayahan, I stayed home as usual. Being the usual “not-in-the-mood-to-party-personâ€? I never liked the mixed experience of noise, exhaustion, heat and sweat rolled into one. That’s why, I just stayed home in the countryside, far from the hustle and bustle of the city streets. For days, I’ve been asked by my Tropas (click of friends) to come down from the mountain (hehehe) and mingle with humans from time to time. But I was not really in the mood. Maybe because half of my life were spent partying and mingling with crowds of people from sun rise to sunset.

 

Luckily, few good souls dropped by at my home. At least I would be able to speak with a human being and not with cranes, crows and carabaos. For information’s sake, my home is located at the middle of a meadow, countryside for that matter where the breath taking Mount Banahaw served as a towering backdrop to the vast farmland.

Anyhow, today we had a great deal of laughter and conversation. I missed the intellectual and mature side of myself because for the past year, I think my maturity and way of thinking regressed because of my over exposure to students (trust me!). Of course students have so many interesting stories to tell, which regardless of prejudice, can be a source of learning. But it is very different when you are always engaged in a mature conversation.

 

It’s quite interesting actually, because I really enjoyed the conversation and gimik (a couple of beers to spice up the gig) with my friends (friends since grade school years).Before I was so preoccupied with school stuff and student problems that sometimes I don’t know anymore if I still have something to give or something left for myself. I tell you, being a Clinical Professor is so damn taxing and demanding, on my emotional, spiritual and mental side. At least I am back on track. I am focused once again. No more worries, no more anxieties and no more nightmares about test paper monsters and blackboard creatures eating me alive. He-he, just exaggerating things…

 

Keep well and God bless!
