Mood: SUPER bored
Listening to: First of Summer by Urbandub
Last 03/28 was our graduation. Hay, no goodbyes there! Teka, the low-down: feel na feel ko pang ga-graduate ako eh. I didn't realize that I was running late.. as in LATE nanaman. Ano ba yan, lagi talagang late! (consistent?). Well Agang called me around 1 in the afternoon - I just had my shower then. Sabi ba naman niya sa'kin, "Good luck sa'yo. Isang oras na lang hindi ka pa rin ayos. Ewan!". Buti na lang nung dumating ako sa school, our class haven't marched yet (whew!). At least I'm not the very 'early bird' that day (hehe.. late si Lilou! Nagpa-dye pa kasi ng hair eh!).
Anyway, we had the mass first. Grabe, everyone was so ready for graduation - and I'm the total opposite of things. Lahat sila todo make-up and hair pa! Ako? Well, let's just say mas SABOG ako - and it's just so not me (akalain mo un? mas ayos pa si Melai sa'kin!). Hay, everyone was irritatingly conscious of what they're doing.. FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THEIR LIVES! Ako.. trash ulit! Muntik pa ako makatulog nung Homily. Wait! FYI: Ang lamig ng Audi that day.. buti naman! Okay, then the Commencement Exercises followed..
Eto na! We were declared graduates.. blah blah blah! Daming bloopers. Back when we had our graduation practice, Sr. Arille unintendedly stated "These 170 graduates.." but there were only 117 of us. So we got all confused during the graduation because so as not to repeat that error (siguro), she omitted saying the number of graduates. So lahat ng coordinators sa stage, nag-mime na para sabihing tumayo kaming lahat! (gulo talaga!).
After that, we just sat there and waited eagerly to get our diplomas. FYI again: I got the PERFORMING ARTS AWARD for ACTING that I so darn prayed for! (woah!) Grabe, all I could think of at that time when Mrs. Cruz announced my name was "Go up the stage then go down.." - parang absent-minded pa ako (kulit kasi ni Agang at Jazer eh!). When I passed by the aisle where I was seated, MUNTIK pa akong mapatid ng paa ni Chatty (ewan ko sa'yo!). Syempre sabay hatak pa nila nung certificate ko di'ba? So parang ako pa yung huling bumasa..
Ang PINAKA-SUPER (hehe, redundant?) that day was MELAI! She bagged almost every single award there is except for a few - kulang na lang umupo siya sa tabi ni Mrs. Abelarde para 'di siya akyat-baba sa stage. Then, there was Idol's flash presentation of the graduates (amazing!). Grabe, we got our diplomas then recited the graduation promise and viewed the flash presentation of the batch made by Idol (ulit). Grabe, sagana sa pictures yung flash! And to our surprise, the white roses they gave us when we got our diplomas were to be given to our parents pala. Hmm.. bakit kaya wala kaming kaalam-alam dito? *taas kilay* Anyway, while the presentation's being played, we all gave it to our parents (aba! Hindi nagkagulo?). Then we sang our hearts (and lungs) out for our school's hymn.. and sing! "SALVE, SALVE COLEGIO QUERIDO!!!" (lakas!)
I'm sure gonna miss that day.. kaso sana hindi ako na-late, 'di ba? *nostalgia ulit*
