Dear Ate Charo

Dear Ate Charo, It’s so hirap talaga to study in UP, the University of the Poor. You know, I never wanted to study here. But my parents kasi, theyboth went to UP and they said na it was the best school talaga. Eh ‘di I went.But no! When I got here, Holy horrors! I was ready to make himatay afterthe first day pa lang. Would you believe, there’s no aircon na nga in theclassrooms, the fan doesn’t work pa. And then this guy who was like,wearing a sando, shorts and tsinelas lang made tabi next to me. He madepakilala pa! The nerve! So I made takbo to the CR to make tago. But I couldn’t make hugas my hands that were so pawis from escaping such anear-death experience. There was no liquid soap! Not even a couchwhere I could sit to make kikay.Do you feel my pain na ba? But wait, there’s more. Last Thursday kasiDaddy’s Volvo was bawal, eh the Eclipse was being repaired, so I had tomake sakay with my yaya in the Ikot jeep. It was so siksik! I couldlike, smell the putok of the girl next to me. Like, it was sobrang mabahotalaga. Kasi naman, the Ikot jeeps are old na nga, they’re mainit pa!Sana they make palit na the jeeps with a shuttle system. Okey langnaman even if there’s an increase in pamasahe ‘di ba? So when the car isbawal, I can use my credit card na to make bayad.Isa pa, you know the Shopping Center? It’s so kadiri talaga. I’m forcedna nga to make Xerox there, (as if naman I could be caught in that placeotherwise) pero I’m so inis because it’s so maliit and madilim, and mostof the stalls don’t have aircon. They should tear it down na and build amall na lang. Then I wouldn’t have to go to Katipunan pa to get my Starbucks fix.My gosh, this place is so bulok I don’t know nga why anyone would bothermaking turo here pa. Just yesterday, my professor was kinda inis kasi herwhiteboard marker had no more tinta! Then she tried to make hanap amatino whiteboard marker but of course there was none. Duh! Kasi naman if we had laptops instead of desks in every classroom there would beno more need or whiteboards diba? But you know even if there were laptops na,the seats are so tigas sometimes I find it mahirap to concentrate.Dapat may cushioning para malambot sa butt, like Downy.Now I’m in my third year na. I don’t want to stay in this place anymore.I don’t give a paki if UP’s the best university here. I’m gonig totransfer to Assumption, where the CRs have liquid soap. Now na
