I thought I was done with all my English classes when I shifted course from Engineering to Business Administration.
I WAS WRONG.
I still have one English subject left: Business Communications.
It’s actually kind of slowly killing me considering our teacher already made us know in advance that we are gonna have a Job Interview for finals. We’re gonna wear business attire from head to foot and for girls – with proper makeup. So imagine the forthcoming torture. I swear I still don’t kow how to apply the stuff to my face.
I mean lipgloss is sooo sticky. I’ve experience the agony during debut parties and when I laugh, I cover my mouth but I can’t touch my lips. It was just so uncomfortable.
The word retouch is going out of my ears.
I’m not saying that at the age of 19 I still don’t know how to fix myself. I have to thank God for college, because at the very least, I already stay in the girls’ room for minutes to fix my hair. AND. I ALREADY BRING A HANDY MIRROR WITH ME.
Okay back to my English class…
Our teacher said we’re gonna have letter writing starting tomorrow until the job interview. Every time she mentions the job interview, I feel like I’m walking near my grave. And that teacher of ours is very addicted with the Ted Failon case. She always talks about it like how I talk years ago when the Tan Massacre was all over the city.
Our English Class is a combination of different students. We’re a bunch of B.A students, probably a half of the class, and some Tourism students, some HRM students, a Literature student, and a cross-enrollee from San Beda who’s taking up Law.
Good thing I have my friend with me; we’re both Marketing Management majors and every English class, we do some spying all over the place.
Favorite man lang namon mamantay.
Here’s what we got:
Guy#1: (BS Tourism) I actually don’t really know his full name but I heard our teacher said his name is Benzayb. ISN’T BEN ZAYB A CHARACTER IN EL FILI?!?! Haha nothing really. We always see to it we’re updated with his fashion statement for the day. He always had this SUPER FIT shirt and looks at his muscle form time to time. Ew. One time, I can’t help it. His shirt looks funny because his built is big. Pramis kadako sang lawas ya sagi siya fit! Haha!
Guy#2: (BS Tourism) I heard one roll call and his name is Jericho. He is Guy #1’s friend and seatmate. They both look funny actually, because Guy#1 could be the giant and Guy#2 could be Jack and climb his beanstalk.
Guy#3: (I don’t know his course) this guy sits at the back. The first time he went to class, our teacher said he’s already DROPPED. His first appearance was one week before exams I think… He tried to convince our teacher and okay. He was given a chance with the condition HE SHOULD NOT BE ABSENT AND LATE.
Guy#4: (BS BA) we had our midterm exams and our teacher kept on repeating instructions over and over again it’s really going out of my ears. Guy#4 first passed his test booklet and went out. When our teacher opened his booklet she said “I told you instructions are part of the exam!!!”
Guy#5: (BS HRM) He’s actually more of a girl#5 than a guy#5. S/He’s always late.
Girl #1: (BS BA) She tries so hard to speak English. Hello? Are we in a call center?
Girl #2: (BS Toursim) She seemed like a twin of Girl#1. One time, we were asked one by one about the importance of effective business communication in our own field of careers and it looked like it took her a century to finish her answer. Plus I joked that my nose was already bleeding.
Girl#3: (BS Tourism) Her height is modelicious. She so white. She’s slender. Well, maybe if you could ask a few guys, she could look pretty for them. But when I heard her English…okay. You know what I mean. Forget the pretty stuff. (My brother would like to add a fact that she had a boyfriend from John B. How does that sound?)
Girl#4: (BS BA) She was once the reporter of their group and our teacher asked her to remove her “cutie” girlie sling pouch???… because it’s an effective distraction. And her English cracks.
Okay I’ll add to these more next time but there’s one girl left for emphasis:
Girl#5: (BS BA) She could speak good English. She gets sleepy during English classes but she doesn’t sleep. Plus she always looks at her watch to check if 1:00 is near…and. She’s the one writing this down. And she’s pretty. And if you disagree she doesn’t care.
Next time baby,
