The Graduate II

Read Part I here.


Gil did not took my victory gracefully.

I think naging bitter siya.

Not burnt sugar bitter but fresh ampalaya bitter.

He did not attend our graduation ceremony. Actually, mas okay sa akin yun kasi sa akin lang ang spotlight. Hahaha!

Ang sabi nahihiya daw siyang magpakita kasi hindi pa totally healed ang blisters from the chicken pox.

Until now parang hindi pa rin niya tanggap na naungusan siya ng isang diva. Nasanay kasi siya na palaging first honor sa section nila kaya nanibago nang biglang may bruhang tumalo sa kanya. Hahaha!

I saw him on Friendster earlier last month and I sent a message and friend request na rin.

Nireject ba naman. LOL

Bitter much? Mag move on ka na noh! How long has it been, 48 million years?

Hahaha!



High school was a different ball game.

I graduated with no academic honors nor special awards.

Although I was constantly in the top ten of our class, I did not made it to the final honor roll.

Unlike in elementary where I graduated with flying colours, in high school I only got a single ribbon pinned in my toga. Yung “Graduate” ribbon. LOL

Okay lang kahit zero award ako kasi masaya naman ang graduation ceremony namin.

Kasi may nangyari.

I was standing beside my crush all the time and he knew I had a big crush on him for four years.

Yes, four years. Pathetic noh? Hahaha!

All the time we were singing our school’s hymn and our graduation songs, he was holding my hand.

HHWS kami. Holding hands while singing.

Oh ‘di ba? Parang nanalo na rin ako sa Miss Universe!

Hindi lang basta Miss Photogenic ha! Hahaha!



Kung hindi ako na-recognise sa aming HS graduation, kabaligtaran naman ito ng nangyari sa akin sa college.

We were the fewest batch of graduates and only a few made it to the honor list.
Dalawa lang ang cum laude sa aming batch.

One was from the Nursing Department, and the other from Arts and Sciences.

Hindi ako yun.

My parents attended my graduation. I think it was also the first time that the school required two guardians to attend the ceremony. Kasi nga konti lang kaming graduates, kinailangan mapuno ang aming auditorium na may capacity na 1000 seats.

Anyway, it was a wonderful event because I sat in the middle of my parents and they were also with me when I and the rest of my barkada together with their guardians received our award.

“Thesis of the Year”.

Oh panalo noh? Hahaha!

Kahit na average lang ang ibang grades namin sa academics ay umeksena naman kami sa aming Feasibility Study.

Our batchmates gave us an overwhelming applause.

I couldn’t be prouder of myself and my peers.


Okay, the end na.

Pag nag-MBA ako, ikukuwento ko naman sa inyo kung ano ang mangyayari sa graduation.

Hahaha!
