Lost in Uncertainties

College is my high school years. What I missed in HS, I got a taste in college. Its first day is my most unforgettable. I was a shy, clumsy, and nervous promdi who is quite conscious, not to mention, worried of my new environment.

I met few friends and their funny as well, but one thing hit me most. There’s this confident and assertive girl who stood out from the rest. She’s actually the prettiest, smartest, and most accomodating, I learned later of her name from my friend who had a crush on her.She’s Francia, and from that day on her name became my constant dreams.

The book says "one has to set a common ground to establish connection". I don’t know chess, her forte. Good thing, France is a DOST scholar and a Bicolano too. I grab that opportunity to talk to her. Everyday, I’ll ask simple questions like "dumating na ba allowance?" or"umuuwi kpb sa Bicol?". Sometimes I got the courage to ask "may extra money kb dyan?". Konting bakod & kwento and eventually, I sensed we’re getting closer, and things got more exciting.

And then I discovered my inner talent; I realized I could express myself well in writing so I took advantage of the situation to wrote my "young blood" piece for our campus paper. It was a real story, and after its publication everyone in college became curious of my existence. Actually, it was my love declaration to France and good thing she got the message. From that day on, my life became more colorful. Inspiration, they would call it, which lead me in writing poems and stories dedicated to her. [I became too mushy & baduy since then].

One love letter lead to another. And the rest is history. I will always remember the time we walked together for the very first time, it was my most unforgettable and although she’s still in undeniable state on that day, one things for sure: We loved each other & we’ll walk together until the end.
