Last Tuesday, I went to school a bit early to buy my English book. I was kind of excited to purchase one. Little did I know of the chain of events that would happen that day. A bit jumpy to buy a book, I rushed to the English Department. "English2 ma'am, the red one (since there are two books:red and blue)" I told the in-charge. She eyed me then scowled (she did scowl!) "Hurot na raba dai" it's already sold out, she said. I was really dismayed. I hadn't made my assignment yet! Half-hearted, I went to my first class (Filipino) and asked my classmates if they had made their English assignment. And unsurprisingly, they didn't.haha I borrowed their book and answered since our teacher was late--good heavens!! I made my assignment while studying at the same time. Poor kid--no book, no assignment!! I should make my Poor-KID-Association. haha. Our English class went well though, I explained why I hadn't still have a book and my teacher, GOD Bless her, understood. My day went smoothly until one of my classmates asks why I'm using "themodernpoe"? Am I fantasizing being the next Edgar Allan Poe? Or Fernando Poe?hahaha I answered her that I want to be the next "Winnie-the-POE" hahar. :D Well, I am still thinking why I entitled myself "themodernpoe". It's kind of a self imposed title that I made myself back in high-school. I was--and still am--an avid reader (or fan if you prefer) of Edgar Allan Poe and his mystery stories, macabre and lyrical poems. I too are writing stories and poems in this genre (it isn't like what Poe write!!haha I'm still working on it). The other reason was actually stupid--I was pissed of with my classmate who called himself the modern Shakespeare. Blah blah.haha. Did my introduction made it sound that my day went bad?
