After coming from the Lauan center in B. Gonzales this afternoon, I decided to do some Katipunan tripping. I walked the long road of Katipunan for wala-lang’s sake.
Usually, when I’m in Katipunan and I’m low on cash, I end up in National Bookstore, searching for possible books that I might purchase and read after finishing any current book that I’m reading (asa pa na matatapos ko ang Sherlock Holmes collection in the near future, hahaha).
So that’s what happened. After walking the long stretch between B. Gonzales and the Ateneo overpass, I found myself in National Bookstore again, checking out the books that they had.
I chanced upon some kids, together with their parents, walking around the store bearing a couple of baskets and a few checklists. They were gathering the usual school stuff: Notebooks, pens, pencils, paper, scissors, glue, tapes, correction tapes, etsetera, etsetera.
School stuff.
Seems like yesterday when the damned smell of the newly purchased plastic covers for highschool schoolbooks alerted my nostrils. Ugh. I abhor the season.
Although things are going to be different now.
Pasukan na! Waaaah!
On a lighter note about pasukan…
Pia, my niece, just entered the room, wearing her newly purchased school uniform. Turns out she’s going to start her schooling this June. Yeeey! Pre-school na si Pia!
She’s gonna learn a lot! She’s gonna learn to talk, to spell, to do math, to extort money from her ninong, to harass her ninong…
Oh noooo. The kid’s growing up!
Hahaha.
