My day as "Denis"
I'm sitting at the extension of the Rizal Library at ADMU, writing this very blog entry. I had an early dismissal today, so I was glad that I had the whole afternoon to basically "tambay" with the rest of my block R3 friends--Denis, Charles, Ian, and Re-An. Unfortunately for me, I forgot to bring my "ID"--a piece of paper which stated that I already paid for our enrollment (our regular IDs were to be distirbuted tomorrow--I think). The library had this strict "No ID no entry" rule, which meant that I couldn't enter unless I had some papers to prove that I'm enrolled.

The guys had their confirmation papers with them, so they managed to get inside the library. Charles and Ian went ahead, while Denis, Re-an and I stayed behind for awhile. Re-an and I didn't have ours so Denis offered to lend us his confirmation papers. In short, he was offering us to pass off as him when we entered the library. Von came out of the building, so Re-An tried to borrow his papers.

The plan was for Denis to enter the building, show his confirmation papers to the guard, and then later on, we, the girls would follow. We waited a few minutes until Denis was inside the library. With his other confirmation paper in my hand, I went inside the library to see whether I could enter passing off as someone else. I admit, I make a bad liar. The guard looked at "my" papers, and looked up at me. "What's you're name?". I answered, "Denis". The guard didn't believe me at all. He said, "yung totoo". I told him my name. I probably didn't look like a Denis. lol :D

Afterwards, the guard told me to proceed to the ADSA area to get this certificate of payment so that I can enter the library. Of all the rotten luck, the office was closed until 1pm for their lunchbreak. I was stuck outside the library for about an hour. Lucky for me, my fellow blockies (MM and the rest) didn't have classes yet at that time so they accompanied me in the caf. Nats and Guido styed with me until 1pm, and then I left for the ADSA.

When 1pm struck, I headed towards the ADSA. surprisingly, some students waiting in line were named "denise". How ironic. I was getting my certificate of payment because I was passing myself off as Denis, and here I was standing in line with a bunch of "denises". Life definitely has the last laugh.

Lesson of the day: Do not pass off as someone else, especially if that person's name is Denis. lol:D
