commencement

finally.. for almost 16 years of doing assignments(as if), rushing/cramming, making new friends/family, mambola ng teachers;scolding;curse-them-behind-their-backs(haha), class pictures, fields trips, scrambling of sections, recess-lunch-homeroom, falling in line for adjustment, laboratory, market lists, costing forms, change of uniforms, elementary and high school graduation and so on, i am now an official college graduate.. moreso, i finished school.. the last of the bumanlag children to finish school, i couldnt help but wonder how daddy felt after seeing me walk through that stage and recieve my diploma (though he was late:D)..

i am proud to say that despite the fact that i didnt make it for cumlaude i still graduated with honors.. i still had the medal pinned at the left side of my toga.. hehe.. it was still a very big achievement for me.. and i know that the people who knew it was very proud of me also.. and i thank them very much for that..

about the commencement that took place last october 8, 2005, well i dont know but i didnt feel very excited about it.. it was like it was just a normal day, no special ocassion or whatsover.. i dont know why but i really did not feel very excited at all.. i was even late for the baccalaureate mass because traffic along roxas blvd was brought about by the alay-lakad thing in luneta.. anyway,like other graduation we too had a speech from one of the honor students in which i really looked forward on listening to, this time it was from a friend of mine, a good friend of mine to be exact, tineybunch..:D her speech took about 10-15 minutes but it was a really memorable speech.. it was very meaningful and it touched the hearts of most of us especially her parents and us (her friends).. what i remember most about her speech was when she said that "to my friends, thank you for making me feel normal though you always say i am not" :).. and something about her being a baked recipe that is still open for new enhancements or something to that effect.. it was really really nice.. i am glad that i got plenty of good feedbacks from people who also listened to her as she spoke.. after her speech without any pretention i stood up (as in ako lang tumayo) and applauded (nkakahiya man pero proud tlga ko sa knya eh hehe).. what spoiled the moment was when i stood up my cap fell hehe.. but i stood up for only 2 seconds hehe.. by the end of the program of course the undying picture taking took place.. nobody cried and as in it was like everybody felt the same way as i did, that it was just an ordinary day.. nothing exciting..:D

after parting ways with my fellow graduated my family and i headed to blue wave and ate at the great palate restaurant.. food was really good though at first we thought it was chaka..:D we were all very full afterwards.. but i had to change immediately because i had to run back to work which also probably one of the reasons why i didnt feel excited for graduation.. kuya was supposed to take me to work but since i was late because of the heavy traffic in edsa, he had to drop me off at gilmore station of lrt2 which i should have done in the 1st place.. my graduation day actually ended with me being on duty and sitting on top of a can of oil because there were no guests at all.. but hey i have no complaints, i know how hard it is to find a job these days and im very thankful that i have one that i really enjoy doing..

with all the things ive said, i still admit that i will terribly miss school.. for God's sake i cannot even enter the school using my own id.. i have to fill up a freakin form for a visitors pass?!.. waaaa.. i am already a stranger to my own school.. how sad can that be?!.. but i really thank Benilde for welcoming me and taking care of me and most of all for educating me.. Hail, Hail, Hail!:D
