I scratched my head, I nod once or twice, I tried focusing and did my best imitation of a face showing great enthusiasm. But honestly, I just wanted to get on with the graduation. During the mass, half of what the priest said actually slipped out of my mind.
I almost sobbed when we sang “Go the Distance”. (Mostly because I could see a lot of the girls trying so hard not to cry.) Think about it, after more than 10 years of being together, wouldn’t you just miss them? After all the troubles you’ve all been through, and still stick together no matter how grave the punishments are… Yeah, our batch is more than special.
I am not in the mood to share pictures. Maybe tomorrow, I’ll try.
Of course, no one would forget graduation gifts. Today, I got a P500 from my aunt and another P500 from my grandmother (my mom’s side). Kapag sinama mo yung iba pa na binigay sakin this March, bale may 3500 ako hehe.
I did not get special awards. Except for that thingamajig which I don’t know what you would call it. Pero I am sure (somehow) na I belong to those na binigyan ng thanks ng principal. May part kasi dun, ayon na din sa friends ko, na sinabi na may girl na nanalo sa ibang school sa art category. I am hoping that they were right, kahit di binangit yung name, at least na alala na I once gave our school a trophy form La salle.
My mom, my sister and I celebrated this occasion at SM (Inasal). Then we went home and I started fiddling with my MP4 again.
So that’s it, cards right out on the table. Di ko feel na summer na, na wala ng pasok, na next year I will not see the same faces again…
