from being in the comfort zone before college and then living in an ideal world of the university that reflects a microcosm of philippine society...

...and now, facing the realities of this thing called life --- in the real world.

first stop, graduation!

honestly, i really was not that confident with me graduating, especially when the month of february came. people around me may have noticed that i was always emphasizing that i was to graduate. little did they know, that was just one of the ways i did inorder for me to boost my confidence level. why i was not confident? simple... my grades were not that high to assure me of a clear mark.

oh well... time went on and poof! history says that i have finally graduated by grace (though i still am not cleared yet. our thesis documentation has yet to be finished ;p)
the graduation was not really emotional on our part, unlike other graduates. kumusta naman? most of my batchmates work by BUNCH in different companies, the majority of which are now in HP. wala lang, the graduation rites were just for fun and seeing my batchmates (especially my blockmates) at the end of it all was such a relief. we started things together when we entered our freshmen year and we are about to end this ALSO together in a *major* block event :D

these guys (special mention again to my blockmates) are deserving of what they are right now. the college valedictorian was from IE, but the salutatorian and the first honorable mention (if there is one) are my blockmates! 6 out of 8 of my block graduated as either (3) magna or (3) cum laude! congratulations is really an understatement. hence, they have luxurious job offers (like generally, the rest of my batch have).

our *block event* is tentatively scheduled during our (first, for some) payday! whew... this is gonna be one heck of a celebration. BUT! good luck to me, i am assigned as the primary *organizer* :((

best of wishes to all of us, my dear blockmates!

(pictures during the graduation rites will be posted later, bagal kasi ng net ko dito sa opisina :D)

thanks!

the feeling of graduation? hmm...

my last sem as a student, i had only 15units left (that means, 5 subjects).

when i was cleared of 12units(4 subjects), i was ecstasic. i could hug everyone i met (joke!) :D people who were close to me like blockmates, orgmates, etc... saw how happy i was.

(which reminds me, my blockmates still do not know the URL of this blog :D maybe later, but right now, i am not yet telling them ;p)

it was only 5days before graduation when we got our grades for our thesis, the last subject that i need to pass so we can officially graduate. this was SO LONG overdue since the deadline of grades for graduating people was two weeks before that day! BUT that grade also has strings attached. since we have to finish our documentation, we still cannot have our clearance yet. but right now, i still do not need to get my diploma and transcript of grades yet :D
