The other side of Mabahague




Stiff, Serious, and Snobbish are the best way to describe Sir Ernie. He's one of the professors that I liked the least in college. Honestly, his classes were intellectually stimulating but becomes dragging in the middle. Yes, he's good looking, but he's not my type at all. I usually go for guys who's taller than me.

Last Tuesday, I've seen the other side of him. We took the same fx on the way to Trinoma from UST. The moment that he hopped inside the fx, I called him and introduced myself as a former student. To my surprise, he offered to pay for our fare.Then, we began to converse about our batch, the latest happening in the university, and our travel experiences. I even shared to him one of my batchmate's embarassing experiences during graduation. He laughed. This is my first time to see him like that. He's not the usual temperamental professor we had in college.

"Sir, tumatawa ka pala" I told him
"Siyempre naman, tao din naman ako noh." he replied chuckling.

Indeed, first impressions are not always correct.
