GRADUATION.
I never knew such a simple ceremony could elicit overpowering emotions.
I didn't expect much from our graduation ceremony. All I knew was I just had to attend the baccalaureate mass, deliver my valedictory address, go up the stage to get my awards, and finally sing the loyalty hymn and graduation song, Ain't No Mountain High Enough.
Little did I know that I would cry in the middle of my valedictory speech and that I would cry a river while hugging everyone during the graduation song. I hugged my girl friends with Val suffering from the tightest one, my pares, and just about anyone.
I got so tense during the graduation that after the ceremony, I was totally nauseous. When I got home, I threw up. After that, I threw up again in the van (in a plastic bag), and again at the party place's venue. (My parents threw a party for the three of us.)
After grad, my family and I had our pics taken. Our SLGP group pic followed after that, incomplete as usual. Alkaide wasn't there. LOL. (At least it wasn't me missing again! LOL.)
I can't believe this is the end of my high school days. I will miss my batchmates--all of them. Batch 2005 was like family to me. Although we still have a lot of differences to settle, each and every personality will have a special memory.
Batch 2005... ASTIG!
