lessons

i was riding the shuttle to work when two girls from a school in makati started to discuss about the exams they had for the day. one girl was complaining, "tsong, wala akong alam!". all i can do was shake my head in disbelief. in my mind i was saying, "e di dapat, nag-aral ka para meron kang alam. nde ka sana nagre-reklamo ngayon."

it probably sounds harsh but isn't it supposed to happen that way? you study so you're prepared for your exams. no amount of prayer or complaining can help you when there's nothing in your head in the first place.

i don't know what happened to that girl's exam. part of me wishes she passed it. another part of me wishes she didn't so she'll learn her lessons. i believe some lessons are meant to be learned the hard way.
