Graduation!

Yeah, I decided to attend the graduation ceremony... I found something to wear. Natakpan din ng gown, so it doesn't really matter. Napaka-bland naman ng ceremony... ni parang walang stage. Yung marquee lang na with the "156th Commencement Ceremony" ang parang pinaka-decoration. Kaloka! Una, hindi ko mahanap-hanap yung mga ka-major ko. I knew I was supposed to stay at Row 20... but I wasn't sure kung saang wing yung sa amin. I thought it was east wing ng arena... tas yun pala it's on the other side. Ayan kasi, hindi nagbabasa ng instructions. Then, eto namang nanay ko, my bro and sis, hindi ako mahanap-hanap. Tawag sila ng tawag. Sabi, i-wave ko daw yung kamay ko para makita nila ako. Eh lahat naman ata ng grads dun nagwe-wave ng kamay. Tawag sila ng tawag... txt ng txt. Hindi ko rin sila makita-kita dun sa audience. Sabi ko hindi talaga nila ako makikita coz antangkad ng mga katabi ko... Nahanap din nila ako after an hour siguro. Then I wondered kung saan ko ilalagay yung cellphone ko when my turn to go to the stage comes. Wala kasi akong pocket sa slacks... so ayun, isinuksok ko sa left sleeve ng blouse ko. Buti meron namang button sa may wrist kaya ayun... hehe. Antagal pa ng ceremony! Around 2000 graduates ata (undergrad, grad, doctoral). Almost 5 hours ata! Hindi na kami nagpicture-picture sus! Pano, gutom na mga kasama ko... at tsaka marami pa daw kasi aayosin for the party. In fact, they were bugging me to take off before the ceremony ends. Naku, nakakahiya naman... Kinanta sa huli yung school hymn... ni hindi ko pa nga napapakinggan yun ever!
