Problem/plot:
The problem starts with the main character seeing the world as just something which people passes thru; unless one leaves a mark on it nobody will ever know that he has gone thru the world. Everybody comes then goes, that is what he believes in. He the goes to a cafeteria one afternoon after a hard a day at home, he then puts out a sketch pad. He draws things based on what he had been experiencing and seeing. This is where his thoughts about the world kicks in, he sees everyone there at the cafeteria as persons which has their own problems. A man being mad about something which looks work related, a couple fighting about their relationship, a barkada who doesn't care about anything. Like the world, everybody here at the cafeteria comes and goes, after several days no one remembers anyone, I too will leave and be forgotten but I don't want that, I want to be remembered by everybody. While he is drawing, a child comes near him. The child was amazed by how well he draws, he then pats the child's head and lets him sit next to him and watch him draw. He leaves the cafeteria then bumps to a woman. The woman got angry at him and blabbed about bumping her and not looking at where he is going. He apologized then leaves, not knowing that he dropped his sketch pad on the floor. On his way home, he walks thru an ally in which the man he saw earlier is waiting. The man grabbed his hand then threatens him off his life if he doesn't surrender his belongings to him. He put off a fight but was then killed by the man. The next day, everything went normally on the cafeteria, there are those usual costumers and the murder suspect who is eating his lunch. The child was there too, holding the sketch pad that was left behind and starting to draw on it. Nobody knew what happened and nobody knew him, everyone comes and goes that is how the world revolves among those normal people.
