Oo nga pala.
It’s graduation time.
Hahaha!
Togas are so not into flattering the figure. I wish somebody will invent a better generic outfit that anybody could wear during a graduation event.
Meanwhile, magtiis na lang muna tayo sa toga.
In my lifetime, I think I’ve worn a toga just twice.
During high school and college graduation. The former I wore white and latter was black.
For my junior and senior kindergarten I have no memory that I wore a toga. It was just our school uniform, a white polo and navy “short shorts”. Hahaha!
Mommy highlighted my graduation look with a beautiful corsage to compliment her already beautiful “son”. Three violet orchids from her garden. Ito ang corsage na tumalo sa corsage na suot-suot ng aming special guest speaker.
In fairness, hindi naman kami umuwing luhaan kasi although I wasn’t in the top 3 of the class, I still managed to be in the honorable mention list kaya may medal din ako from our school. Yung mga katabi ko, Thank You Girls.
Sorry girls, better luck next time. In elementary perhaps?
Anyway, during my elementary graduation, I wore a barong tagalog. Hindi pa kasi uso ang toga sa public schools noon kasi mahal ang renta.
Actually, I should’ve worn my sister’s dress na tinubuan ng sangkaterbang ruffles but our principal insisted I wear something masculine. Bwiset. Lol
It was a tough competition for the top honors. My seatmate was my biggest rival.
Si Gil.
We were head to head sa academics. Pati sa extra-curricular events may participation kami pareho.
Boy Scout siya. Girl Scout din ako.
Nasa dance troupe siya, majorette naman ako ng school drum & bugle corps.
Magaling siya sa essay writing, “award-winning” din ako sa painting.
In terms of influence sa school, yung auntie niya Filipino teacher namin. Ang nanay ko naman level head ng Grade Three.
Bwahahahaha!
Char!
Akala ng teachers namin, for the first time in the school’s history ay dalawa ang magiging Valedictorian. Mabuti na lang at may kumampi sa akin na tumapos sa ambisyon ng aking friend/rival.
Huling bahagi na ng fourth grading period nang inatake si Gil ng Chicken Pox.
Ayun, hindi na nakabawi.
Ako ang tinanghal na reyna.
LOL
