graduation
The world is too ironical for me to comprehend. Why is it that the special events speed by but the ones we don't like take so long? It ended too quickly. One minute I was changing into my gala, the next I was receiving the long-awaited diploma, the next I was hugging my friends and crying. I was pretty much a wreck last night. I managed to put on a strongface, as Nicki would say, throughout the whole singing of the grad songs, but I started to break down while were singing the Alma Mater song. It sucked by the way, the song I mean, because we were all practically singing the alto part, but that was the part when I started crying because it finally sank in that it was the last time I was ever going to sing that song. I took one last look at the gym and got all emotional. I was even more emotional in the podium. We took pictures and cried and hugged more. Apa and I started the waterworks again when we saw each other. On the way home, we talked about how I'd have different friends in college, how they won't be the same as the ones I have now. That made me even sadder than I already was. I cheered up a lot, though when I saw my parents' grad gift when we got home. It made me happy to have it. Then, we went to Tomas Morato and ate in Tempura, where I saw other graduates with their families. I sigh again.
