Jeepney ride

Lunel is an Architecture student here in UP Mindanao. He is slender with a brown complexion. He is smart, nice, and very funny. He was my classmate way back in elementary.

Lunel and I were not really that close but we were friends. We went to different high schools and never heard from each other. I could barely remember the last time we had a conversation. Until, college came in.

At first, I was hesitant to talk to him because its been a while since we talked. But it was easy for me to be comfortable talking to him since he treats me like we were in elementary.

Last week, I was about to go out the dormitory when he came. We smiled at each other. Then he asked me “San ka?” “May klase ako sa CSM.” I said. He asked me again “Kumain ka na?” I said “Hindi pa eh, samahan mo nalang ako.” Then after we had breakfast. After we ate, we walked under my pink umbrella on the way to CSM. It was a long walk and the perfect time to catch up on things.

He was the best person to conduct an experiment to. I am not a Biology student so don't worry, I won't dissect him like a frog! I will conduct a communication experiment regarding how will I be able to create a strategy that will increase our intimacy.
This is in line with the Uncertainty Reduction Theory by Charles Berger.

I was lucky that Lunel and I were getting closer a week before our professor asked us to conduct an experiment. It was easier for me.

Last January 26. It was Friday afternoon, I was excited to go home. I was waiting for the jeepney to go when Lunel came in and sat beside me. It was another perfect chance to have a conversation since the travel will be a bit far.

Our conversation defeated boredom! I enjoyed our talk because I learned so much from him. The difference between Fine Arts and Architectural Arts. And so much more.

After we got off the jeepney from UP to ADDU. Together, we rode on another jeep going home since our houses are just a few kilometers apart. We became that close that I was not ashamed to borrow 4 pesos from him!haha Since I only have 3 peso coins and a One hundred peso bill on my wallet. He was very generous to lend me a few coins.

My jeepney ride with Lunel was a memorable one. Not because I borrowed money from him! But because our closeness was now a level higher. My experiment was indeed a success!
