Graduation went well as I hoped. Tita did my hair the night before. I wrapped a towel on it so it won't get separated as I sleep. I slept late as always, really excited for tomorrow. I got up at around 5am, thinking it would've been better that they set up the graduation in the afternoon so we won't get sleepy on speeches. I got ready and after a few hours, we (me and Tita) went to McDo Noveleta to pick-up my grandmother (She was with my malayong cousin). We headed straight for school.
Ate Divine choked up tears as she delivered her speech, her voice cracked at the end. My classmates were like, "Ate! Don't do that, you're making us cry! Nakakahawa kaya!" Laurence's speech was emotional. A lot of parents and students cried (I admit, I was one of them... I missed my mom! I wished she was there!) as she was proudly introducing her mom and telling about the things that she went through, stuff like that. The teachers noted that it's been a long time since they had an emotional graduation like this. Even Mrs. Mendoza shed a tear!
Well, to conclude, it was a success. I guess the only thing that bothered me was that I didn't get to deliver the Pledge of Loyalty that great-- I read from the invitation. I kept thinking that I would black-out if I get nervous on stage and I don't wanna be embarrassed like that! I memorized it well but you know how nervousness can get to yah.. So.. Hrrm..
After the whole ceremony, I went around school, graduating my friends and others. By the time I found Roselle, I was glad thinking that I'm more happy than emotionally sad. Un nga lang, when I congratulated her and asked for a hug, she laughed and said, "Umiyak ka muna!" I thought, alright, if that's your request, I'll show yah how I can act. But after a few seconds of acting/trying to force myself to at least give her a teardrop, a thought suddenly came to me. What if days after this I'll miss them? What if even though I wanted to see them, I wouldn't be able to? Is this the last memory/moment I'll ever have with them?
The acting turned to reality and much more.
Yeah, I cried. Tears of joy, sadness and hope all at the same time. *shrugs* I got caught up in the moment of saying goodbyes. Me and Francis finally got to talk to each other. It felt great. Both of us wanted to make-up and so we did. After picture-taking with Rey, I asked if I could go to the other side of the school and see if there are still people there. Ronald went along with me. We passed by empty classrooms, silent corners filled with loud and happy memories of the school days.
We stood in front of III- Ilang-Ilang classroom. I peeked inside, smiled and said, "Well, it all began and happened here."
"It sure did," he replied.
We ate at McDo afterwards for lunch. Ronald had to come back to school coz of his clearance and etc. It was a good news that he caught up with my Grad ceremony-- to the time I was delivering the Pledge. So all's nice. Me and Tita came home tired. My godfather came over for a quick stop, giving me a cake and a gift.
*sigh* With all that happened, every laughter shared, every moments tasted, every hardships conquered. This is all I have to say:

It was my first day to attend the graduation practice. I didn't get to go yesterday coz I had to do my math graphs. A lot of students were there at the Main. It was really sunny in the morning, it was a good thing though that there was a covered court so at least we won't be standing under the heat of the rays.
Good news: I got a part for the graduation day. I get to do the Pledge of Loyalty. Yay..
In the afternoon, we went to the Holy Cross church for our short Retreat/Recollection. We were divided by sections and then by 5 groups of 10s and 11s. I was in group5 and voted leader. We were given a sheet of paper with a verse from the Bible and there were 3 questions at the bottom which we all should answer. We combined our opinions and shared thoughts and experiences.
It was a bit surprising that only one student cried through the whole sharing thing. Well, I guess that's fairly reasonable since our Retreat was so brief that we really didn't have much time to talk about dramatic things in life. Though it would be enjoyable if we did have a lot of time coz that way, I'll get to watch my classmates cry their eyes out for the last time..

Okay, let's see.. I spent the last few days in agony of the requirements. Some days I get to sleep in the afternoon after school when I feel so weak. I always do "shut-eyes" during math and it was getting quite annoying for me since I need to stay awake during trigo! It's not coz my grade in math is that bad, I mean, it's fairly high I guess, but I just couldn't bear how my teachers witness my lack of sleep and the paleness of my face (not to mention my sleepy expressions).
So anyway, even though I get to rest in the afternoons, that doesn't mean it's a happy ending-day for me. Nope. I had to stay up till like 2am. Around that time I get to sleep again. Of course, daily dose of caffeine also helped. It's bad to drink coffee everyday-- I know. I don't usually do it.. just these last few days coz I need to stay up. Don't worry, I won't be addicted or dependent. I know better than that.
Gotta end this. I just stopped by (in the middle of working on my AP module) to at least post something... Sr. Yolangco already gave us our sched for next week. It's gonna be a bit busy. I got my Graduation "portrait pic" and.. I don't look like me. *sigh*
Well, I've got to go back. I hope I get to finish this today coz I'm not gonna go to school today. It's not like we've got important things to do there. Actually, I could've done something better at home than being there with nothing to do but wait for the teachers who at times do come but just to check submitted requirements. *sigh* Anyway, good luck working on yours, guys. I'm getting sleepy na.. This is bad.. Hmmm..

It's our first monthsary.
"You'll come with me after school, alright?" he said. I found out from Tita Nhora that he planned for us to eat dinner at Malens. I suggested that we get our pictures taken first. So we went to Cavite at Mitsubishi, got our pictures taken then went straight to Malen's.
Malen's is such a cute lil resto. The ambiance was quite relaxing. The smell was great, the furniture's great, and so was the music. It was kinda dark, hence the candlelight. We ordered soup then salad (we ordered the same meals except for the dessert). After we ate that, the main course was served and for our dessert, he had Black Forrest and I had Chocolate Butter cake. We didn't get to finish eating it coz we were so full by the time dessert was served.
Something surprising happened while we were eating. He asked me if he can look at my hand. So I let him hold my left hand. He observed it and compared his to mine, asking me things like why is my hand so small? (Like I can answer that question.) Then we laughed about it. A few minutes passed as we continued telling stories, talking about whatever comes to mind. It was then he asked for my hand again. Okay, well, this time-- hands.
He was staring at my fingers when I was babbling about how in TLE class we had to clean 10 fingernails (which I haven't done yet). To my surprise, he suddenly slipped something cold on my finger. It was a ring. I let out a gasp then I started laughing. "What the-- What is--"
He smiled playfully. "You like it? Hey, it's big on your ring finger..."
"Hmm.. yeah." He slipped it to my middle finger (still has space) and then to my index finger.
"It fits here," I said.
"This is size 5 1/2. It's the same size as your friendship ring with Tita and Chamie. How come that fits on your finger?"
"Correction. I place it on my middle finger. Maybe I'm size 5, just like my feet," I chuckled.
I also got a letter from him which he suddenly just threw at the middle of the table while we're eating. It was.. surprising.. and strange. XD (The guy likes to surprise me. It's on pink paper with roses embedded on it. His handwriting has this squiggle-like design which I notice to be like vines with some small curvy circles on eat letter. "It looks kinda like roses!"
"Actually, they are."
"Really? How cute! I gotta hand it to you, Ronald. This letter looks like an invitation of some sort." I began imitating royal messengers from Medieval times. (It sort of reminds me of the Robin Hood animated movie for some reason..)
"Hey, I worked hard on that! Stop insulting my work!" We laughed.
Did I mention it's his birthday? Happy birthday, Ron-ron! ^^
We had our unfinished cake packed and had the receipt. We basically had a great time. We walked on the way home since my place is near. When I came to my room, I found another letter (which also looked like an invitation, but in a different way) sitting on my desk. I quickly opened it and there was a poem. It seemed deep and full of flowery words and symbolism. At the very end was his personal message with a "Hey" on it. Old style poem ended with modern grammar. ^_^'
When we said our goodbyes, I planned to give him my letter with my colored drawing and a gift inside. After he walked a few steps away, I called out to him. He spun around, expecting me to say something but as he was near the gate, I handed him the letter quickly and ran inside the house. I heard him say, "Ah-- thanks!" before I closed our front door. He sounded surprised.
You wanna know something funny Tita Nhora pointed out? We both gave each other letters and a ring. =)

This week's gonna be like our last week of classes. Good news, right? The bad thing is... We've got so much requirements to do! Deadlines are fast approaching. I haven't got a goodnight's sleep. In fact, I've been staying up til morning. My eyebags kept getting visible every damn day. It's so stressful. I don't wanna get up in the morning coz the bed felt so good to sleep on. But I have to. And to think-- what'll happen to me in college? I need to maintain my grades... Damn.
Well, I've still got to find a way to get a Tagalog/Filipino source on HIV info for my Filipino research paper (since I don't have a book on that-- which gives me an idea...). It so happened that I tried to translate the english info I had and it wasn't very successful. The deadline is on Friday. It's already Wednesday. The required pages are like up to 15+. Have mercy... Give me strength. Alright, I need to sleep now. I'm losing energy already just thinking about it. I might drop by the library this afternoon. I might find something there. Wish me luck.
By the way... Happy New Month, everybody.
Miss you, Francis.
