Chitto and Kring Journals - Part 01

As I have written on my past blogs that I am now on my journey to become a journalist, I have enrolled not in (Collegio de San Juan de Letran) but in Lyceum of the Philippines University, also located inside the walls of Intramuros in Manila.

It's been almost two months of getting to know people, eventually becoming friends with them, appreciating my classes and the professors, wearing a uniform that I am now starting to like (well, not really), being part of the CAS Council Committee (College of Arts and Sciences), joining school organizations, being a bit-lazy me, studying well, and those sometimes that I just don't want to attend some of my classes.

After some two weeks of attending my Basic Photography Class, I noticed two Korean students on my class that day. They look familiar because I often see the two of them around school, what I did was give one of them a copy of our past discussion notes (that "one of them" is Dragon, yes you all read right, his English name is Dragon) and the other is Chitto (that's his Filipino name by the way).

I wasn't able to converse with them because I felt that they feel awkward talking with other people, so I let them be and I am just ready to answer if they have questions regarding the class.

By the way, our Photography Class schedule is only once a week for three hours (Thursdays). After a week, I saw them again and braced myself to have a good conversation with them, it was Dragon who was very keen to talk with me and my friend LA. I noticed his friend Chitto was very quiet and asked him why, he told me the reason and I understood. =)

It was actually fun to get to know them, especially Dragon who was really fun to talk with, and that said, i think we all become friends, which is a good thing.

After another week has passed, I get to know Chitto better because I tried talking with him. I actually find him really nice and humble. That day at Photography Class, I asked Chitto if he wants to have Korean Ice Cream and he was happy at the sound of a "Sweet Korean Ice Cream", he then said the word: "Pangtoa" (which sounded "Pang-tu-wa" in my ears) over and over again, it got me thinking what the H is "Pang-tu-wa", then found out that it's a Korean Ice Cream Sandwhich. =D


*This photo was taken when we had our photowalk to come up with a decent homework for our Photography Class. (Yeah, I look like $H!+ 'cause I have been feeling quite sick that time.) Hahaha! By the way, we are two complete-opposite individuals. "Contrast in Height and Contrast in weight"

After that day, I have gotten to know Chitto more. I have noticed that he would often say that he is a very serious man. However, from what I can see, he is simply funny. He can make me laugh, just by saying different English terminologies that only he can come up with. =D

I would have to say that it was a start of a friendship that maybe, no one will ever understand. Oh, maybe because we two are both geniuses and sometimes a bit babo (stupid). =D

I am having a difficult time writing every single detail in this post, not because I have forgotten about them. Maybe it's because it's quite difficult to write about an overwhelming feeling that I am now having a really hard time understanding myself. =)

Oh, did I tell you guy and gals that I am sometimes babo? Hahaha! =))

Anyway, this was just the beginning. Weeks has passed since that day, so there are really loads of blogs to post. (Blame my busy schedule at school, I haven't been blogging for the same reason that I am very busy and sometimes, I just don't know where to start.) =D

More blog posts to come! =)
