maybe the ENC have really known each other since childhood.
maybe the ENC have never expected or experienced something like this before...but quickly after a short childhood in Baguio...the ENC go to school.....
they go to school.
examinations...one after the other.
staying there. for maybe 4 or more years.
and they really remember anything that wasn't a run-thru or examination or instructions....
so in school you find out who you really are...tests of personality nature...tests of appearance or even physical ability.
the school system aims to find out if and who you really are.
so sometimes a student can have personal problems. submitting requirements....submitting write-ups on paper or submitting exam answers on paper also.
using variegated programs in a computer laboratory.
so the ENC study in textbooks or write notes in a notebook.
use a mechanical pencil or gel ballpens or perhaps technical pens.
then at home in a boardinghouse in Cubao. maybe they should be spending time answering assignments in a textbook. maybe there's no time to sing songs or read funny articles on the computer.
just really submit those textbooks and those answers.
make it on time. submit the work on time in class tomorrow or morning or tomorrow afternoon.
don't cram it anymore. answer that at home.
um, maybe you can forget about those funny articles for a while.
answer those textbooks.
maybe, listen to a song when you're done or actually curious about something.
maybe when it's Sunday it's time for serving in church. downtown you know.
uhh, what do you think of that place?
what do you say?
you have to answer or write these thoughts down in an online journal.
then, you have to choose a course to take in college.
umm, maybe in the review center in another neighborhood.....
you find out what are your options in a course to take for college.
why do you really end up in the same course...called Linguistics. or Bachelor of Arts in Linguistics.
for now, it's just the National University.
and the time goes by.
running thru....always the monitor is running thru everything that's happening.
running thru and checking everything that's happening.
so from something like Course Orientations to Class Introductions...
Class Presentations.
Class Reports.
Class Projects.
Research Papers.
Research Projects.
everything they...experience is the monitor giving instructions and checking every answer.
so who you are, at this point. who you really are.
who you really are. who are you really?
maybe the ENC can't avoid looking for a personal website or webpage on the computer and writing down their entire life on it.
maybe Kiko Sungha really can't avoid using the website Teletype.
maybe Kiko Sungha can't avoid writing down his life on that thing.
maybe Kenta Nabe can't avoid writing down all his memories and experiences on the website Sigle.
so....maybe these guys can't stop dreaming.
they can't stop dreaming of becoming a Designer.
Designing fashion?
maybe they all can't help studying architecture on the computer....
and they can't help fancying becoming like an Architect or Industrial Designer.
maybe sometimes their hands get itchy and they can't stop feeling annoyed by things like broken toilets in school...or schools.
they...cannot stop being horrified by broken plumbing systems in school.
they cannot stop being horrified by rickety wooden chairs in school.
maybe it's everyday....on the jeep. or on the sidewalk. that they really meet all these different kinds of people. some are blabbing about their life or their friends.
some........................they have plans. they have work. they have places to go to.
some.................they're enjoying the jeepney ride.
some...............are enjoying the silence or the travel time.
maybe it's all these things happening.............it's making the ENC just think about.....maybe the efficiency of vehicle hand-railings. or jeepney curtains made of rubber.
or.....dorm room designs. where the coffee table or drawer really should be.
why there should be a poster there reminding you of a movie.....or band. that makes you inspired to go on.
and really...........the story of..........the ENC...........
it was anything. anything at all that was outside..........anything at all that was happening.
anything at all.............anything at all.
and maybe like a ragtag group of kids???????
maybe it's the kind of kids with a coif and a collar.
maybe that's the kind of kids ENC are.
maybe all of those things..........they pile up. they cause a commotion.
they cause an ENC kid to think all kinds of thoughts.
maybe it's the nature of.....engineering.
all the possibilities going into..........any sort of design of a mobile house.
or any sort of safety design of an apartment room or unit.
an engineer will just always be on the side or in the back...of the room. just watching for himself. and thinking anything he ought. thinking any thoughts he wishes....and just writing down his own tale or own kind of hopes and dreams in journal of his own.
