Graduation, Gimik-ing, Surprise Treat

March 19, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Surprise!

I’m now a graduate of Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering! Yep, after eight years of college! But please subtract two years of working, and one year having been a “victim” of the change curriculum. I was supposed to graduate last 2005.

Still, I’m happy to graduate this year. I told you before, haven’t I? School is sweeter the second time around!

The ceremony went well this morning. The weather was okay. Everyone was having a good time. Except maybe of that evol thing the lady (who I praised highly before) did, I was enjoying the whole ceremony. I sincerely loved Father Salazar’s homily; I truly do. Methinks he’s a very good orator, not to mention a fantastic storyteller!

After the recession, my family and I went home directly. We celebrated my graduation with a simple thanksgiving. Few hours after, I went straight to Cebu Business Park for a job interview! On the afternoon, Roy, I, and couple of friends in college met up and had a celebration at Gimik, Mango Square. There we had a blast. We sang, er, screamed and shrieked the night away. Macoi didn’t make it because scatterbrained that he was, he slept like dead the whole afternoon.

I went home past 9:00 AM. Yup, early than usual. But I was delightfully surprised when friends from the community showed up at home with ice cream, pizza, drinks, and a gift in tow! I didn’t invite them in the afternoon because I told them we weren’t throwing a party. But… understandable and loving that they are, they still surprised me!

Webster should attach surprise in the definition of friendship. And speaking of surprise, I still have to push thru the one I supposed to give last week. =)

To March or not to March

It’s 4:40 AM, and few hours from now I’ll be marching up the stage to get the diploma I’ve been dying to get.

Strangely, I want that time to creep slowly. Because any moment now I’ll be bidding sweet goodbye to beautiful memories.

It’s true. The starting and finish lines don’t really matter much compared to the journey itself.

Ah, change. Sir Yap once said not to be afraid of change. Still, I’m deathly scared. For the last two years, I’ve considered my friends and school a home, and leaving them is like losing a piece of myself.
