When second semester is about to end, I keep on wondering what will be my summer 2011 looks like? Will I take an out of town vacation? Am I going to be super busy, and if so, what would be the things am I going to be busy with? Will I meet new people? Will my summer be a memorable one?
After the grades had been given to us, the only thing went on my mind is, "I'll just enroll this summer, so I'll be able to finish my studies ahead of time". So that's what I did. I took my NSTP 1&2, SOC4 which is Rizal, and Lit1 which is Philippine Literature. I got so excited because I knew those questions in my mind will be answered. First, Yes, I will be busy since I am studying and I want to devote my time only for studying my lesson. 2nd, yes, I am about to meet new people. And I love meeting new people. New classmates from other courses, new professors and new peers. But the third question is hanging, will it be memorable? I will only found out at the end of the summer.
So as my summer goes day by day, I did what I supposed to do, studying, doing my chores, doing my hobbies and things that pleases me a lot, watching basketball! As everybody who's close to me knew very well at I'm a die hard Ginebra fan. It shows, just look at the title of this blog, haha! And then one day, while browsing the net, I saw an update about the team, I saw the team's import named, Nate Brumfield. I checked his name on facebook, gotcha, he has an account! So I immediately hit the Add As Friend button, and luckily he accepted it, didn't expect that he is also online that time. So when I saw his name on my online friend list, I tried to chat him. Being a lucky lady on that day, he responded to me. And also say "hi". From there, my summer 2011 changed.
Since okay naman ang unang experience ko chatting with him, sinamantala ko na! :D The next night I saw him again on my online list, I tried to chat with him again and he responded again. Our conversation by this time went personal, I asked him some personal questions and he politely answered. And he even asked me also some personal questions. That was the time I felt that he was nice. Considering he is a celebrity, who am I for him to ask me some questions and try to keep the conversation going, and more meaningful. And he has always the last say in our conversation, when we are about to sign off. And because of that, every time I saw him online I always try to have a conversation with him. There were times that we both still up until midnight 'till dawn, I'm chatting with him while I'm doing my project, and researches. One midnight, I asked him some personality test questions. And I love what I discover in him. He is really such a nice guy inside. Though he may seemed not that approachable because he always frown. He always looks so serious. I even asked him one time if he know how to smile. Haha! There was also a time when I asked him about food, I found out that he is "picky eater".
One day, my SOC4 professor asked us to compose a poem and submit it that same day. He told us that we should have an inspiration for us to come up with a meaningful poem. It could be a thoughts, a thing, a person. When I heard that, he came into my mind. I thought why not make a poem for Nathan, since his birthday is coming. And give it to him as a remembrance. Our professor required us to make a four line, and four stanza poem, as I'm doing it, and finished it, I just found out I finished four lines and SIX stanza poem. I asked myself. "Am I that inspired to come up with six stanza?" Then after, my professor asked me to read it aloud in front of the class. Geeezz! I did, haha! And later in the afternoon, I put the poem in my notes in facebook and tagged it to Nathan. Those were the special days I will forever cherish. But, sad to say, this is the last day that he will be in Manila, since the series ended last night. The team may not be able to get the crown, but they will be forever champion in our hearts.
So as the summer continue, I also continue what I supposed to do, studying, my chores, hobbies, watching Ginebra's game, and chatting with Nathan. And by this time, I can now answer the 3rd question. Yes, It is sooooo memorable! I enjoyed my summer 2011 a lot! I made it more worthwhile by enrolling a summer class, and met new people, including the one that made my Summer 2011 more meaningful, Nathan Brumfield!
Thanks Nathan! And ADVANCE HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Whatever you'll be wishing, hope GOD will grant it, because a person like you deserves only the best in life. So long! Hope you'll be able to play again here in the Philippines.
PS: coffee + milk = picky import :D
