where i studied,
it didn't matter where one lived, how one traveled to school, or what brand one's paraphernalia and clothes were.
what mattered was, "pumasa ba tayo sa exam?"
i loved my classmates. walang down-looking.
buhat bangko mode.

but yes,
it mattered if one had a car.
after all, what can we commandeer to go to tagaytay, if the classmate didn't have no car for us to commandeer...?
heh heh.

many years later,
nagtataka ako bat ang laki laki nang odometer reading nang kotse kong ginagamit nang college student kong anak...
the world turns.
