Yung kaibigan ko lumabas lang sandali para bumili sa Masagana. Mga 8 pm na noon. Habang naglalakad siya, may biglang pumigil sa kaniya na lalaki. Sabi sa kaniya huwag na raw tumuloy kasi "may babae raw na binabanatan ng tatlong lalaking hubad". Sabi ng kaibigan ko sa kaniya humingi ng tulong sa mga guard ng Adamson at Masagana. Siya naman bumalik sa dorm namin tapos humingi ng tulong sa mga guard. Sabi nung guard hindi raw sila makakatulong kasi "hindi naman raw nila teritoryo yun".

Putragis na mundong ito.

To say that I'm bothered by this would be making an understatement. The mere thought of defloration isn't necessarily what vexed me. Everyone is accustomed to learning about statutory offenses like this. Headlines scream it everyday. People read it in books, fiction or otherwise. They have seen more than enough of fornication in movies or X tube. What disturbed me was that it seemed so real... that it happened a stone's throw away from me.

Drunks (or at least I think those men were) do not have a firm grasp of reality and they are more sexually stimulated. They don't care who they rape as long as they get laid. So any innocent passerby could get assaulted. It could have been my friend if it was not for a five-minute delay. It could have been me coming home from a late-scheduled exam.

What really irked me off was that people who could have helped her did not. Hindi namin teritoryo yun? What the hell?! Right now, I don't know what I would do if I was stuck completely vulnerable in that fucking predicament. Screaming would do no good. It would just be met with apathy. Or maybe not. Maybe it's fear. So much so that it impedes an individual's memory of a gun at their side or imperatively, their sense of responsility. I don't know which is more justifiable. What I know is that either would render anyone immobile and incapable of being human. Cowards die many times before their deaths. Exceedingly unfortunately true.

It's even more distressing that I felt as feeble as the victim because I could do nothing. I blabber about these things but I am powerless to stop it. The knowledge that I am no better than a man gripped with trepidation or insouciance is very disconcerting. My friend suggested prayer... but I can't help but think that prayer is just the "safe solution" for people who do not wish to become enmeshed with the troubles of others. Prayer is a psychological means of dealing with problems the person is experiencing himself. For others, it is ultimately just wishful thinking. Hopefully, it works. For that girl's sake.

I would like to dedicate this entry to the boys of Block One. Grabe. Nakakaantig kayo. Palibhasa alam kong may pagkabarat kayo kaya nakakabigla rin at nag-alala pa kayo para sa Valentine's. *kamao to mouth effect*

Ryan - Salamat sa Valentine's Card na mas mahal pa ng apat na piso sa isang pirasong rosas na tinitinda sa may Faura. In fairness, Papemelrotti ha. Awww. Dapat taon-taon lalong mumamahal yung ibinibigay mo. Parang sa third year ipod tapos sa fourth year beach house sa Boracay. Next year ulit ibubully ka namin para bigyan kami sa Valentine's. Yeh bah.

Rick - Itay! Salamat sa mga tsokolate kahit hindi ako nakatanggap. It's the thought that counts. Pero dahil diyan, dapat unlimited masa access ako mula ngayon.

Jom - Akalain mo ba namang pinaharana mo pa kami sa Biorhythm? At may tig-iisang rosas at sulat pa kaming lahat. Na nakastationary! Yung akin blue pero bakit ganun may drawing ng panty? Pero bumawi ka talaga sa rose eh. Akala ko pa naman hanggang santan lang. Gaano karaming dota hours ang sinakripisyo mo? *tear*

Mairre - Nakakapagod talagang mag-isip ng dalawang oras para sa isang linyang gasgas na gasgas na: "Love moves in mysterious ways".

Alek - Dapat nakipag-duet ka sa amin isa-isa ng A Whole New World o ng Phantom of the Opera. Haha. Nakakamiss na yung mga linya mong "Huwag dito, dun tayo" at "You're using me!".

Ian - Ewan ko lang pero pakiramdam ko ikaw ang mastermind eh. Hehe. At sayo ang pinakamahabang message sa card. In behalf of Pauline, *hug*. Yung soft porn ipapaubaya ko na sa wild beast na may affinity para sa mga naglalakihang poste ng UP.

Coco - Diyosa. Tumpak. Siya nga. Pero sana hindi mo inaagaw ang conquest namin ni Dem-Dem tuwing Physics. Kung pwede lang pakituro siya sa bakanteng silya sa gitna namin.

Migz - Malaking pasasalamat dahil sa pagkakatanda ko hindi mo ako kiniliti nung araw na yun. Dinisiplina ni Jing! Haha.

Erik - Sapagkat isa kang malaking teddy bear.

Siyempre may engkwentro ako kasama ni Pedring. Pero kinawayan lang ako eh. Walang hiya ka. Ni Big Bang di mo ako binigyan. Ang bading mo! ... Kaya kita gusto eh. Heart. Hehe. Pero okay lang kasi nag-usap naman tayo sa may Nutrilicious nung araw bago mag-Valentine's.

Ako: Ate, pabili po ng dalawang blue book. *lumingon na kunwari walang alam* Hi Sir!
Pedring: May exam kayo, Christelle?
Ako: Biostat po.
Pedring: Ah okay. *smile*

First name basis? I-elevate na natin. Biostat, sugar plum. Pet name basis! Wahahaha! Siguro natorpe ka nung nag-usap tayo kaya di mo sa akin naibigay yung Chocnut na nasa bulsa mo na kating-kating mo nang gustong iabot sa akin nung nagkawayan tayo nung 14. Hun, naman. Shet. Feelers.

Hoy Niki at Cydelle! Bago nga pala magkalimutan. Ang Big Bang/Chocnut/La La ko! Huwag niyong idahilan ang pagkapulubi niyo. Ultimo squatters nga nakakabili ng cellphone. Kung hindi, ilibre niyo na lang ako ng pusit sa may harap ng Rob.

Maganda sana kung walang mga sadistang prof na porket di makakuha ng date sa Valentine's nagpapaexam. Kung magpaexam man kayo, sana naman hindi mahirap. Por dios. Nung nakita ko yung problem solving, nayanig mundo ko eh. Tinanong ko pa tuloy sa katabi ko kung anong date nun araw na yun. Chugaz.

VDC! Saya. Inabot kami ng alas diyes sa @K.
