dear childhood dictionary,
it has been a long time since i opened your pages. you know what, pages nowadays become thinner. a slimmer page, a page on a diet! i went to national bookstore at cogon branch to buy a new dictionary. but i was astounded by the thickness of each page. i could almost read the text on the obverse side. alas, you and your contemporaries: the encyclopedia, of which some information made me the top scorer in araling panlipunan (social studies), the volumes of classic stories. you have great page integrity! my exaggerated thumbs-up goes to my late dad and mom for purchasing some sets of reference materials and those story books. and YOU!
i was addicted to your contents at such a young age. after climbing and picking some ripe guavas from our guava tree, i pulled you from that nook and be informed with deep words and new abstract!
because of you, i talked as if you were guiding me, based from your pages and pages of vocabularies! and the students sucked everything all in. because of you, my students learned new words and used it in their facebook accounts and essays to be passed and text messages for their friends, loved ones...
but.
where are you now?
