RECONSTRUCTED ANECDOTES FROM COLLEGE AND LAW SCHOOL FRIENDS 

(1) Girl borrows boy’s jacket, and is returning the jacket.

Boy: “I want my jacket back…with you in it.” (Hahaha! What a line!)

NOTE: Boy got his jacket back. Without the girl in it. Kasi naman!

(2) Girl and boy are fighting. Girl does not want to talk.

Boy: Why won’t you talk to me? What’s wrong?
Girl: Just give me a moment, ok? I don’t want to talk right now.
Boy: Why?
Girl: Basta, it’s one of those moments. I just don’t feel like talking.
Boy: Why won’t you tell me what’s wrong?
Girl: (Exasperated) Never mind, the moment is over.

NOTE: Nagbati rin naman sila eventually. Lesson, wag pilitin ang taong ayaw magsalita.

(3) Girl pondering the IF scenario of liking someone else.

Boy: Well, there will always be someone better looking, nicer, and all of that, but what matters is who you really love.

NOTE: Yan ha, may magagamit na kayo na line. Plus points yan. Just don’t dwell on the “better looking” part. Baka sabihin pa, sinasabihan mo siya na pangit siya. Hehe!

(4) Girl naglalambing, says she has a song na for the boy, I miss you by Incubus. Boy listens to song.

“Threefold utopian dream?!!” And boy immediately gets mad. Feeling niya may other boys girlfriend niya. Hahaha! Ano ba yan!

NOTE: Nagbreak din sila eventually, thank God!

(5) Unintentional confession. Boy and girl are walking back to the dorm past midnight. Cat meows, sounds like a baby crying. Girl, startled, jumps in fright.

Boy: You’re like Kyle (not real name).
Girl: (Medyo bingi, thought he said “You like Kyle.” Panicking.) Ohmigod. How did you know? Was I that obvious?
Boy: Uh, I said YOU’RE like Kyle, not YOU like Kyle.
Girl: Oh. Okay.

NOTE: Naging sila a few weeks after this incident.

(6) Boy is driving girl home from Makati.

Girl: You do know she likes you right?
Boy: Yeah, but I like someone else.
Girl: Ah talaga? Sino?
Boy: Ikaw.
Girl: Wushu! Whatever! Binobola mo nanaman ako.
Boy: You know, you should start taking people seriously.
Girl: Huh? What do you mean?
Boy: People who like you.
Girl: Huh? People like who? (Fishing na to at this point. =p)
Boy: People like me.

NOTE: Naging sila a few weeks after this incident.

(7) 3 girls, 2 guys walking to KFC for lunch.

Boy: Is the sun shining?
Girl: Huh? Abnormal ka talaga.
Boy: ‘Di nga, is the sun shining?
Girl: (Sarcastic.) No, it’s emitting heat and light.
Boy: Hay…

NOTE: May pagka-abnoy lang talaga siya. Pero naging sila a few weeks after this incident.

(8) Nico and Chi know this one by heart. Haha! Marketing paper overnight run in Eliazo. I brought rambutan for my groupmates. It was 5am, we were all sleepy. There were 2 pieces left, I think. Iyos ate one. Impe ate one. A third friend, itago na lang natin siya sa pangalang Therese. Nakakahiya kasi for her. Anyway, Therese was busy chewing.

Therese: Mmmm… Sarap ng rambutan.
Iyos: Ha? Eh dalawa na lang yun eh. Kinain ko na yung isa, kinain ni Impe yung isa.
Therese: Talaga? Open na nga siya kanina.
Grace: Ohmigod, kinain mo second-hand rambutan!!!

NOTE: Naging si Iyos and Impe senior year. And si rambutan girl, may boyfriend na rin daw, according to a common friend. Hehe! I think mas careful na siya kumain ng rambutan ngayon.

(9) Room 305 Eliazo Hall. A certain roommate was asking me something about Ma11.

Roommate: Grace, pano kunin yung y-interceept?
Grace: Bwahahaha!

(10) HUGE moth flying around the ceiling fan in our dorm room. That particular ceiling fan has killed a good many insectoids. Moth gets caught in the blades, and is thrown to the floor, apparently dead. Tanya approaches the remains and checks for signs of life.

Tanya: It…

The moth suddenly moves.

Tanya: …has been alive!!!

(11) Laya is memorizing the Our Father in Spanish in our room for Spanish orals the next day:

Laya: (Reciting what she thought was the Our Father in Spanish)

Laya: Ohmigod! Mali! Sinasabi ko pala, Our Father, how are you in heaven!!!

(12) Grace and seatmate Koko doodling in her notebook during Partnerships and Corporations class with Pio Batino. Sir notices them.

Atty. Batino: Ms. Torralba, would you like to show your drawing to the class?
Grace: No Sir, it’s ugly.

(13) Legal History class with Dan Gat.

Dan Gat: Ms. Gabriel, when was the Civil Code enacted?
Daisy: (Serious) Sir, sometime in the 20th century.

(14) Property class with Barry Barry Arbitrary.

Barry: Ms. Sebastian, how was the land acquired in this case?
Mia: (Frantically going through the digest) Sir, treason and rebellion.
Oggs to Nico: Hindi ako makapaniwala na sinabi ni Mia yun.

(15) Crim 2 class with Sir Te.

TOT: Ms. Sebastian?
Mia: (Stands up.) Sir?
TOT: I’m just checking attendance.

(16) Persons class with Ma’am Beth.

EAL: Mr. Cruz, why are you smiling? Did I say something funny? Stop smiling!

(17) Again, Persons class with Ma’am Beth.

Oggs: …Singalong Street… (pronounced /singalong/, not /sing-ga-long/)
Oggs: …Violeta Drilon… (pronounced /vīoleta/)

(18) Moot court.

Mia (direct examination of plaintiff Mr. A): Do you have any proof of this?
Mr. A: Yes, I have a printout of an email from my sent inbox.

(19) Early Friday morning freshman year

Grace (while skimming through Dan Gat's article Eyes Wide Shut) to Chi: Haha! Malas talaga ng matatawag sa article na 'to.

During class...

Dan Gat: (Shuffles class cards.) Ms. Torralba?

NOTE: Hello? Bagong break ako nun!

(20)Another early Friday morning freshman year

Grace: (Thinking to herself in the cab while reading the opening paragraph on the article Bossism on the Mafia.) Di naman siguro ako matatawag today...

During class...

Dan Gat: Ms. Torralba.
Grace: (Recites the first article which she was able to read).
Dan Gat: Ok. Let's go to the next article.
Grace (in her head): Holy shit.
Grace (this time out loud): Um, sir... (Then makes up a long discourse on the Mafia in relation to the previous article.)

NOTE: A few minutes later, Chi, Jen and I were standing for recit. (Ron had previously recited also.) Dan Gat walked out.

GRACE: I can't remember the other law school anecdotes. Send nyo na lang sakin, para I can add them. May plan kami nila Nico gumawa ng compilation for the block. Wala lang. To remember our happy moments in law school. No matter how few there are. Hehe! Why do I think of all these things when I’m supposed to be writing a Tax paper?
