My friend said, " sa ganda ng notebook mo minumura ah. I just smiled at what she said and the meany wacky praises I got from those who have seen my notebook. Well I only used tech pen for printing and drawing. My notebook is full of drawings of botanical tropical plants mostly flowers, shrubs and herbs.
One time when our Botany professor had his daily rounds in the classroom he happened to glance at my notebook and saw a certain particular kind of drawing in one of the pages of my notebook. He asked me why I included the vase or pot in it. I replied it's because "I don't want the plant to die."
My professor hurriedly went back to his seat in front of the class but couldn't resist laughing out loud. Yes Virginia he burst out laughing. I do not know why. The whole class looked at me with their big eyes asking me why, and what's goin' on. My seatmate couldn't resist the temptation and laughed so hard that she's got a belly ache.
Before the semester is finished He tried to take a glimpse one more time on my precious beautiful notebook this time he did not laugh or made any funny movement whatsoever. No facial reaction or anything to record his once boring life of being an old professor, strict and serious who seldom smile nor laugh , still single at age closing and pushing to 40? Maybe, maybe not. Kung baga sa babae eh old maid na. I was in 2nd year of College when I found out he finally had a fiancee. I could only smile. Good for him. Sometimes you have to trick old boring people so that they will change their conservative outlook in life. If they cannot perceive in written words you have to use symbolism.
