It's my first semestral break ever and man does it feel weird. It's not summer but I've a really long rest from papers, tests and lessons. I'm snoozing my ass off while these high school students are still striving to get that high mark.
On another note, the extra time off gives me the opportunity to hang out at our bakeshop and help the staff out. I just love assisting them and plus points from my parents too, who sometimes give me money for working hard. Yeah.
Anyway, aside from having fun, I also get to observe people. I'm not judging them because that's bad. I just looked for trends and commonalities.
One very saddening observation though is how most customers ask so many questions despite the answers being in front of them, as they say in a Filipino proverb that if the answer was a snake, the person would've been bitten already. It's kinda annoying to repeat things over and over again when you know people can figure it out on their own. They always ask the price of this variant and that. I wish they'd ask more intelligent questions. And according to my cousin who regularly works there, it has always been like that with customers.
This brought me back to F. Sionil's article entitled Why We Are Shallow which we evaluated for our final paper in English. I don't know if such can be a proof of shallowness but it is alarming.
