graduation

it has been exactly a week after my graduation. over the past few days, i've been downloading pictures of this day, mementos that captured everyone's excitement as well as sadness because everyone knew that graduation signalled both an ending and a beginning.

i was lucky enough to be seated on the leftmost of the row, which gave me the best view as graduates marched during the entrance. people i've became classmates with in different subjects, entered the place filled with anticipation of a future that lie ahead. i looked at them eye-to-eye, mouthing my congratulations... they smiled at me and did the same. the teachers entered and i became teary-eyed seeing how these people gave me something i would not have learned elsewhere, not just mere facts of each day's lessons, but more importantly information that will guide me in my life... fr.ben entered looking really cute in his outfit, which kinda reminded me of dumbledore, he saw me looking really stupid holding back my tears and just smiled at me, looking proud while saying congratulations.. seated at my right is reuben uy, an akafella, who apparently was so tired that he was asleep the first hour. i didn't mind it one bit since it gave me more time to think and ponder...

as each person came up the stage, i thought his or her parents are in this gym somewhere looking very proud of their child who is currently onstage. i remembered how when our course was called about 1/4 of the total graduating batch stood up, surprisng other courses of how many we really were. and i'm proud to say that i know almost everyone in our course, except for 1 or 2 who until now baffles me, why haven't i ever seen them before? where have they been hiding? hehe! so as each MIS student came up the stage to get his or her diploma i thought of a class i've shared with him or her.. or even some memorable interaction we've had... i'm really proud of my batch and i love them so! we've been together through all the programming projects that caused us sleepless nights, PM and ITM, which says enough... in short, we've been through hell weeks and back, and now we've received our fake diplomas, signalling that we've passed all the needed requirements..

the post grad picture-taking was the best... i never really intended to cry but seeing how my honey joyce and kagandahan jenny were already wiping tears that were streaming down their faces also allowed me to release my pent up sadness... i got into a lot of hugs and kisses, even from people i wasn't really close to... hehe got some too from the people i wanted hugs and kisses from! hahahahaha! :p kidding aside, i was crying because i will never see our batch as complete as we were that night.. of course there will be reunions but normally it would be by block or only handfuls come...

that is the main reason i have been downloading pictures the whole week. these pictures are the only ones that would remind me of the people i met and became friends with in college... to all MIS2005, my batchmates, let's make Ateneo proud! see you all in the real world... someday we'll all see each other again! I love you all...

i just wanna share that i'm full of regrets right now.. i didn't give my rose to my crush even if i really wanted to.. my friends were urging me the whole night to give it to him since he was just around but i was sooo shy... now, it's too late already... he might have a heart attack if i suddenly admitted my feelings for him now... hehehe! i'll probably suffer thinking of what might have been if i did give the rose? haay... well, nasa huli ang pagsisisi... seeing him onstage during grad, brought back all the feelings of regret.. owelz...
