four people

there was a 4th Year Bio student waiting at the office.
he just passed his requirements for admission.
He sat down and said a little prayer.
That God will put his name on the first list,

a few months later, or even second,
or even third,
as long as he'll be in a list of qualified students to enroll. 
as long as it's UST Med.

he doesnt know what he's up to.
he has no idea what the hell he's up to...
he just wished that next year,
he will be like the guy next to him...

the guy next to him is a First Year med student.
He's waiting for a semestral grade to come out.
"Damn semestral subjects", he said.
He sat down and said a little prayer
That God will not put his name on the list,
the list of remedials, or worse the list of failures.

He doesn't know what he's up to.
he has no idea what the hell he's up to...
he just wished that next year,
he will be like the guy next to him...

the guy next to him, is a Second Year Medical Student.
He's waiting for a semestral grade to come out.
"Damn semestral subjects", he said.
He sat down and said a little prayer
That God will not put his name on the list,
the list of remedials, or worse the list of failures.

the second year went out, and in came an irregular second year student
he's for remedials in a semestral subject.
"Damn semestral subjects".  he said
but he said it without a trace of bitterness or anger or any negativity for that matter
he just believes in his heart that he will pass it.

The 4th year and the first year looked at him
"Remedials?" they both thought
"This guy sucks."
The irregular somehow read their minds and just smiled.

The 4th year and the first year despised him.
The irregular just continued his smile.

Little does the young ones know that they are all the same person.
That he was him beside him beside himself
The younger one just submitted his Bio Transcript and Good Moral
The First Year was waiting for Psych
The Irregular was savoring the Office's aircondition, it was hot outside

the Second Year earlier, was the guy they're supposed to be. Full Load, Regular Second Year Student by this year.

But it was the Irregular that they became. And will work hard not to become. That they will vow not to become.

the Irregular still is hopeful.
He doesnt care if he's despised.
or whatever.
he know, that in the darkest nights
of hopeless tragedies,
will come a spark of right,
that will start a flame, and illumine a hope
and fan a passion,
and he will one day save lives, better than what the other Him can do.

The two younger ones looked at him, and vowed that they will never be Him.
That in an alternate future, they will choose the alternate Karl.

Good for them

  25. funny, Karl. :)

    wait, kelan nilalabas ang list ng magreremedials?

    ReplyDelete
  26. doesn't matter kung irreg ka or regular... kung nakagrad ka at the same year na nakalagay sa nameplate mo... kasi paglabas niyo ng med school, pantay-pantay na lang kayo.. pare-pareho na lang kayong doctor... at kung nakagraduate man with honors o hinde, pare-pareho pa rin kayong noobs! hahaha

    see you next year at med, pare..

    ReplyDelete

  33. di rin siguro karl... kasi ang prime ng buhay ng mga doktor or nagdodoktor ay ang matutuhan ang halaga ng buhay.... through this doctors just dont save because this is thier career but beacuse they value life... kaya nga saludo ako sayo....
