ds kinda late, but i think this deserves a place in this crazy blog, written by a crazy being…recently, while i was taking my hour-long bath, i remembered gilderoy lockhart of the 2nd buk of harry potter series (chamber of secrets…not commerce) and i related him to my prof in history a few years back, wen i was still a freshie in the bucolic college of up tacloban…hek hek…
it was my fateful first day of college in up tacloban…my clas was history 1…and living up to my famous reputation of never coming up to class on time, naturally, i was late. i missed my professor’s introduction. i ddnt even get his name. i was still too timid to ask from my seatmates, so i just listened to his litany of requirements and expectations from us for the course. it went for like an hour. i was jotting down most of what he was saying. most of which where really good points, mostly deconstructing my gradeschool and high school history teachers. nevertheless, i was expecting that it would turn out that way. UP is the home for these people, home of societies’ nihilists..he he..kewl.
as i was copying the points he was scribbling in the board, i noticed the reading materials we need for that course…written after several titles of books was the name "prof. daniel talde"…wow…it was like seven or so books written by the same author.this bastard must be really good. imagine seven books! all being recommended for us to read!
his litany went on for another30 minutes then finally the bell rang…so he then wrapped up the discussion and reminded us of the reading materials he was requiring our class to at least have a copy because the discussions will mostly be taken from these books.
he now allowed us to leave. finally, out of curiosity, i tapped my classmate on our way to the door and asked him (or was it a her? cnt recall anymore) wat was the professor’s name…he (or she) answered back, "…prof. daniel talde, u wer late, ano?…"
i was appalled.
he was also the same professor where these famous lines came from: "…will you turn off the windows?", "…the landing of leyte…" and many others.
