The Guard, the Car, the Rich


Two weeks ago, I experienced to be reprimanded by a security guard at the main gate of our university because I wore slippers to school which is not allowed in regular unstormed days. But that was a stormy day, I went out of our subdivision that early morning for school and I can't imagine my Pony shoes get soaked again in floodwater so I quickly changed it to my Banana Peels (the slippers, huh). Then, after lunch, the sun was already high, this guard yelled at me and asking me for my ID since I didn't follow the DRESSCODE (for non-car, or referred to as the regular jeepney commuters, with all the smoke and dust).

The Dress Code or the Losyang Fashion is exclusive only for those who can be seen by the naked eyes of university guards and also for most students who are not known in campus. Campus celebrities, family relatives and the usual guard chatmates and barkada are free to come in and come out of the school premises without following the dress code and wearing the ID. Of course, if the Head of the Discipline Office is around, this cannot be done because these guards know that its WRONG.

Oh by the way, ladies who look good in sexy outfits are excused and those who look frightening in backless and spaghettis are asked to surrender their IDs.

Finally, if the guard you encountered is having some difficult problems in any aspect of his entire existence, your toe nails will be checked until the last strand of your hair so bring with you a Guidance Counselor to help him find his way out and you can find your way in.

If you have a car, that's a full excuse that you can just drive in the campus even in underwear and a shirt. You may be required to present your ID but wearing them is also subjective (the problem thing of the guard is a big factor in making his decisions). The higher the cost of the car, the better. If you're in a taxi, you might still be checked but your shoes and pants already passed the guard.

My university has this strict implementation of this dress code but I still don't understand why we still have some students who cannot be in what's asked. I question the guards but I also question the students: is this just rebellion to protect freedom of expression or is it plain stupidity and stubbornness???
