The Horrible Tuesday
Since most people did the "First day thing" --- how people like their schedules, their profs, their subjects. I'd like to elaborate on one specific professor that made a big impact on our class.
Hell pare. No match.
Let me describe the scene:
Written on our EAF was a certain Micahel Lim for engltri. My high school friend Sonny cross - enrolled in that class, wala lang major trip for him. So I was thinking that it would be fun to have my funny friend around to kill those boring moments in class.
Sonny: Ah, Michael Lim! Mabait daw yan! Ayan, eto na yung class na 4 ko. YES!
at about 2:55 some girl came in class. She told us that this Mike Lim will be late. So for me, "Ah ok, no big"
Then some Chinese looking guy with blonde/brown highlights came in class.
Clad in a burberry polo shirt (The color carried the traditional plaid), black fitting pinstripe slacks, expensive looking loafers (probably feragamo) and this sparkly gold watch on his left wrist. (Later on I realized that it was a rolex encrusted with diamonds around the rim.)
Elitista. Sosyal. Mukhang mabango. But wait...
Instantly, I knew he was queer! He looked so clean and well dressed that he can't possibly be straight.
Not to mention his Prada body bag and this big LV bag that he just threw on top of the Teacher's table to make sure he made an entrance with a *bang!*
He caught our attention alright. Then he started to talk. Hell took place.
Mike Lim: There are 3 Mike Lims in this university. But I am THE Mike Lim (stressing oh so much on the 'THE')
Shy: (In deep thought) Aba, mataray...
ML: If you think this is hell? Welcome to hell. I am Mike Lim, graduated from blah blah blah, Suma cum laude blah blah blah, Champion of public speaking competition in 1997 blah blah blah.
*God, he said so much in a minute I got completely lost. He made sure to stress on the words 'cum laude' and 'champion' to make his point.
He did.
ML: This class will be much harder compared to other speech classes because I believe that if you want to be the best, you have to learn from the best and that's me.
ML: Don't even dare try to bribe me unless you have a platinum rolex watch, then I can think about it. I don't teach because I need to, I teach because I love to share what I know.
I can't forget this part!
ML: I haven't even gotten my salary last term because I have no time to go to the accounting office. You can check if you want. Again, don't try bribery. My salary here is not even enough to pay for the sole of my shoe.
Shy: Still in awe. Asked myself silently --- So, that's for one shoe?
Like whoaaa, he's rich and smart and he flaunts it.
He got numbers of people in class and started tapping that P910i of his.
ML: This is a wonderful phone!
Shy: thinking --- Yup, and your phone combined with everything that you're wearing can feed a small country..
Upon giving the assignments he noticed something again. We were all jotting things down on yellow paper or some sort of notebook -- others, tissue (Yeah, that's Sonny's style.)
ML: My god, you guys still do manual booking? Don't you have palm pilots or laptops? That's so not In!
Let's see what happens this Thursday.
One thing I'm sure.
Even if I'm so not 'IN' because I don't have a palm pilot to make dut - dut!
I am so not dropping his class!
I mean, if I can endure that then it would be smooth sailing afterwards.
I was intimidated but I guess I'm up for the challenge.
If I fail, then I might start saving up for that platinum Rolex...
Hahaha!
