APUNTAR...FUEGO!!!

BANG!!!!

Bumagsak. Patay. Wala nang buhay. Ang pagtatapos ng buhay estudyante ng mga 4th year students sa sintang paaralaan.

MAy 7, 2010

Umaga ang graduation namin. Umaga, 7 am dapat andun na. Matapos kong masanay na gumising ng late?! Lagot, pahirapan na naman sa paggising.(tsk...tsk...) Eh, hindi pa naman ako nakatulog agad nun gabi! Excited kasi. (hehehehe..) Ayun, late ako! Este, "akala ko" late ako. naabutan ko pa yung mga classmate ko na nagpipicture taking!! (Yes, buti umabot p! hehe..)

Bago ko pa isuot ang toga ko, maglagay ng corsage, ngumiti muna ako sa harap ng camera. (smile..click..) Habang busy na busy kami sa pag capture ng moments, hindi namin napansin ang pagdating ng isang kontrabida! Si Tandang Milrong!!!!

Tandang Milrong: BSIOP 4-1!! Ano pa ga iyan? Tama na yan. Pumila na kayo dun sa taas.
Agad naman naming sinunod. (Ang bati namin.) Umaakyat kami ng 4th floor. Grabe, ang taas, nakaheels pa naman ako.

Tandang Milrong: Eh talaga naman. Ga-graduate na at lahat, mga pasaway pa rin kayo.

HAbang umaakyat, sa sobrang init, kahit hindi kami magkakalapit pakiramdam ko nagsisiksikan kami.

Akyat.. Akyat...Akyat...4th floor..sa wakas..

Kwentuhan.. tawanan.. picture taking...
Kwentuhan.. reklamo.. picture taking...
Paypay dito.... punas ng panyo.....
Mukha nang wasted... picture taking...

Sari-saring itsura, sari-sairng ayos! May bongga.. may simple...makapal ang make-up... may wala....oily at pawisan.. may parang hindi naiinitan.. may nakasimangot...nakangiti...may ngarag...meron kayang kinakabahan?? Parang wala akong na pansin.

Student (1st/F): Magsisimula na!
Student (2nd/F): Maglalakad na!
Student (3rd/F): Tara na!
Student (4th/F): Baba na tayo!!
OA? hehehe...

OK, baba na. Aknya-kanyang hanap ng mga kasunod sa pila.
Step one, picture...step two, picture....step three, kita pa ba ako?!
ADIK...

Nasa baba na ulit. Nagkalat ang mga paparazzi!!! (mamaya ang tubos, 50php..hehehe..) HAyyy.. nakainip! Pinagsama kasi sa iasng list ang 3 section ng IOP. Kaya iyon, napapaligiran ako ng mga taong di ko kilala. Hindi pa naman ako maboka.

At dahil napansin nila ang aking kalungkutan...
4-n: Kung gusto mo, sumunod ka nalang dun sa classmate mo(si Cho). Hindi naman nila mapapansin yun. BAlik ka nalang pagtatawagin na ang name natin.
Pre: Ok....(Tamaaaa!!!)
Nag kasundo ang mga pasaway!! hahahaha...

At nakakita p ako ng kapwa pasaway!
Pre: Jec, dito ka nalang para sama-sama tayo!!!
Jec: Wag na!
Pre: Ok lng yun! hindi naman halata. Dito kana.
Umiling si Jec! Ano yun? Nagbago na?! TRAYDOR!!!!!

Naglakad..naglalakad.. at dadaan sa mga swords ng ROTC.
CHANGE HAND!!!

Uy, may paparazzi ulit. Pose. HAyyy.. sa wakas naka upo din. ANgdaan ang mga seremonyas- Doxology, National Anthem, speech. Ang cute ng suot ng mga nagdoctorate! (hehehe..)

Dante G.: Nung kabataan ko, nagtitinda ako ng drayo tuwing umaga para may maibaon lang. Tuwing namang walang pasok, nagtitinda ako ng blah...blah...blah... Ako po ay pumasok sa isang unibersidad bilang isang iskolar blah...blah..blah...CONGRATULATION GRADUATES!!!

Jec: Ok lang yun. Ganun din naman ang iba satin. Gantihan lang yan. Hehe..

Pledge of loyalty

PUP Hymn

Graduate na!!!!! Yakapan moments, naiyak ako. Umiyak kasi sila. Nakakahawa yung mood. Pero malungkot naman talaga. Iba na ang buhay na haharapin namin at kahit sabihin pang "Ganon pa rin walang magbabago, keep in touch" may magbabago at magbabago pa rin!

Nakalungkot. Hindi ko na makakasama yung mga taong naging bahagi ng buhay ko sa loob ng 4 na taon!!! (Ang drama ko na...hehehe..)

Hindi ko pa kayang bumitiw. Aminado ako na hindi pa ako handa para sa next stage. (Tinatamad pa nga akong maghanap ng work eh.. hehehe..)Kaya nga di ko feel yung Graduation. Dahil ayoko pa!

Pero wala na akong magagawa.
Move on.

-ADIOS-

TIMELESS LIKE NERVERLAND

Years ago I was just a freshman of an state university, and as if a fast-forward button was pushed, I' am now a senior student who will be graduating in a few days. Same feeling again, just like in high school, happiness and distress has once again causing fuss. Though I' am glad that my parents' hard work will be paid off, I' am unhappy to leave behind my fun, careless and easy-go-lucky student life. I' am afraid to handle greater responsibility which I will be forced to embraced after college.

At this point, I want to escape the process of growing up. (seriously!!) If possible, I will go with Peter Pan in Neverland! I want a time freeze! I want to stay in this time zone forever. There will be no pressure. No expectations. No difficulties. Less struggles. Less responsibilities.

I imagine myself flying with Perter Pan and the Lost Boys. Enjoying life without adulthood worries. Being selfish and mean is not a big deal in Neverland (I like that!). Nothing to be feared of, cause you make your own rules(yeah!). Although there is Captain Hook, the epitome of arrogant adults, he is weak and easy to be fooled. (hehehe.. bad..) Hmmf...unfortunately this wish is just unrealistic! A true fairtale, can never be happen. (so sad..)

So I left my fantasy.

After that, one thing I do realize. This is what I believed in. Although we can neither turn back time nor freeze it, the past can always be look back on. Everyone has their own Neverland where we feel joy, happiness and even sorrow as we remember the things we've been gone through.

Too bad for the "childish" me, I have no choice but to remember the past, appreciate the present and welcome the future. Maybe there is nothing to fear in change, after all, it what we needed.

I don't know what lies ahead of us, but I know, It will never be the same again (without you all). With different environment and new priorities and opportunities, here comes the beginning of a new life, new adventures and new struggles!

" To all my friends, as much as we might like to stay close with each other, it is inevitable due to the priorities we might take in. But, for sure, our experiences together will link us all from one another! Definitely we will find new friends and new relationship but remember that the time we spent together is timeless like the Neverland!"


Thank for everything!
I will miss you guys!
Good luck to us!
