a sampling of the current generation of students can be observed while one is riding the yellow jeep.
they wield ds lites (with r4ds), wear havaianas (mojos have long been forgotten),
talk so loud (their ears are plugged with earphones)
and a number of them carry laptops and use jansport bags.
i ride with them, and am fascinated, thinking how different the campus has become because of them.
gone were the days of loose shirts, grunge looks (shorty shorts and skinny jeans rule these days).
pancit canton is being served by fishball stalls and sunken garden is a frisbee place.
yesterday, a guy got in the jeep and bumped his head on the lamp mounted on the roof.
he cried "Ouch!", found a seat, rubbed his head and smiled a lot.
though i would have said "Aray!", i was already smiling a contented smile ---
i am comforted that some things remain the same.
