Omgeee. Been away for quite awhile na pala, been busy these past few days e. Sobrang namiss mo ko noh? Haha, ang tagal ko kayang hindi nakapagpost, ang tagal din natin di nakapagkwentuhan. Haha, alright, I must begin with my story, so that you'll get familiarize how I've been these past few days. Wala lang, I find it quite weird, it's summer yet, halos wala akong time for you. I don't know, medyo nagiging busy with some people. Dealing with their 'own' problems perhaps, not even minding mine na pala. Oh well, I should say, wala naman talaga akong problem e, I'm creating my own, yes. But, it doesn't matter at all. And it's not even a slightest problem, I guess. Okay. :)
March 30, 2012. (Thursday)
Happy Graduation, Bubbly! (Jacob) Finally. Sobrang hinintay ko 'tong araw na 'to. I am a proud Ate here. As in, di ako nakatulog, I mean. Di talaga ako nakatulog, nag-countdown ako e. Haha, hinintay ko yung Graduation niya. Imagine, 7am naman kasi. Haha, wala lang, feel ko lang salubungin yung araw niya nang gising ako. Nang masaya ako. Which I did naman talaga, kasi.. Sobrang gusto kong maka-attend ng Graduation niya. Finally, graduate na niya High School ang bunso kong kapatid na pa ang laki sa akin. Haha. (Mind the height and the weight, triple pa nga yata sa weight) HAHAHAHAHA. I'm kidding, anyway, sa sobrang excitement kong pumunta at, actually bumalik ng St. Mary's, sobrang nagpreprepare ako ng attire ko, as in yung sobrang stunning at mag-stand out ako. Oh well, it came to happen naman. Winner na winner ako. (Sa sobrang tagal ko ba namang nagprepare.) Okay, I'm wearing my Topshop sheer top, black leggings from F21 and brown leather boots from Aldo. Ternuhan pa ng snake skinned na shoulder bag from Celine. =)) Okay, saan ka pa? Haha, spell. W-I-N-N-E-R. :)
All eyes were on me, pagdating ko ng school, pagtapak na pagtapak ko palang ng ST. MARY'S COLLEGE. By the way, late na kami ni Andre. (Alam mo naman siguro na kapag nagsama kaming dalawa, paartehan pa sa suot at buhok, sa overall porma, I mean) Congrats kay Mama kasi nagising silang dalawa ni Jacob ng maaga, at before 7am nasa school na sila. Naks, achievement yun ha. Hindi na-late si Jacob sa Graduation niya. Wahaha. Nauna na si Mama sa school, grandiose. Eh, bakit sobrang saya ko para sa kapatid ko? Ewan, iba kasi yung happiness, super proud Ate here :)
I don't know how, paano nga ba kami nakapasok ng auditorium? Ehh, hinaharang yung mga taong umaakyat sa 5th floor, sa Auditorium? Haha. Ewan ko uh, sobrang effective talaga yung 'charms' ko e. :) Chos. But seriously, it's a good thing na, 'well-known' and sobrang maimpluwensiya ko sa school na 'yun. Sa Alma Mater ko. Bakit ba? Haha. Yea, without having the slightest clue from my imagination na, "It's the end of our league". :) Graduate na pala kaming tatlong magkakapatid. Oo, sa St. Mary's College. :) "Nasaan yung stub niyo?" -Unknown Teacher (Feeling ko, she's a noob e, not a familiar face, mukhang bago lang talaga) Me: "Na kay Sir Benz na po yung stubs namin". Naks, ganun kasimple e noh? Diresto akyat na sa 5thfloor. Haha, then another obstacle.. Oops. I spotted Sir Jerry sa may entrance. Okay. (Here's the thing kasi, our audi's capacity is like around 800-1000 people lang, that's why sobrang crowded, hirap makipagsiksikan.) Take note, GRADUATION yung event. Fine, sobrang fail. Pero kasi naman di ba. Heard the news from the teachers na, kaya sa audi ginanap is because di daw available si Bishop sa hapon, tapos di rin pala nakarating today. Ouch, super mega over fail ng nangyari. =))
Haha, anyway, back to what I was saying earlier. All eyes were on me, ikaw ba naman mag-boots di ba? :) Sobrang porma ko lang talaga, yung get-up ko, award na award na naman. Oh well, "Coolest kids in the Metro". (My guys classmates' voices echoing). HAHAHAHAHA. Weird, pero.. I can't stand the number of people, kahit sobrang dami ng aircons, di parin kayang i-accomodate yung mga tao e, so Andre and I decided to go down muna, sobrang gutom narin kaya kami, as in. Dead hunger ang dating, haha, but the things is.. We are really one. Hahaha, ugh. =)) We accidentally met Larina bago kami lumabas ng gate, tapos, we had a mini talk narin, then decided to go to McDonald's nearby. Then, after eating, bumalik narin ng St. Mary's. In fairness, sobrang nakakaloka to ha, nakakamiss yung Baliuag, sobrang ngayon nalang ulit ako nakakain sa McDo, Baliuag, I don't know na nga kung kelan pa yung last time e. Haha, years ago, I bet. =))
I can't stand it, sobrang miss ko na si Ma'am Principio, as in to the superlative degree, that's why I knocked on her door. Sa office niya sa may Campus Ministry. Grabe lang talaga. Namiss ko si Ma'am Maty ha, naiba yung length ng hair niya, tapos tumaba, haha. Pero one thing's for sure, sobrang namiss ko siya. Yun lang yun, kaya nga I stayed longer pa sa office niya e. "Hello, Ma'am. Good morning, musta na kayo?" "Take a seat, good morning.. Kamusta na kayo?" Sobrang nakita ko yung pagiging proud niya samin ng kapatid ko. Lalong lalo na sakin, ramdam na ramdam ko. Imagine, I was her SC President, I was her Student mentor counterpart. Damn, we've been through hell years ago, and yea, bumabalik ako.. Kasi di ako nakakalimot. Kahit sobrang seldom lang akong bumalik ng school, once in a blue moon, I supposed. Di ko sila nakakalimutan, at well, sobrang flattered ako.. Up until now, ganun parin lahat ng teachers sa kin. As in, I can see it through their eyes kaya. Then, may kasama pang conviction with their words. :) I have nothing to ask na talaga, the thing is, double purpose yung pag punta ko ng school, kaya siguro sobrang saya at excited ko lang. :)
Sobrang proud ako kay Jacob noh. While taking pictures of him, I can't help but cry. Kasi naman, akalain mo 'yun, baby brother ko o. Na mas malaki pa sakin, graduate na ng HS. Ang sarap kaya sa feeling. Yung loko loko kong kapatid, graduate na. :) Omggg, naiiyak talaga ako. Tears of joy, yes. Ako pa nga yung nagsabit sa kanya sa stage ng awards niya e. Ewan ko ba kay Mama, haha. Pero gusto ko rin naman. For Mama's reason na.. "Para makita daw ako ng mga teachers ko." Oh well, effective, sobrang effective. Ako yung umakyat ng stage, just like the old days, just like the old times, a year ago.. Ako din yung nag-award kay Andre, and this time, kay Jacob naman. Nice, twas very overwhelming na kilalang kilala parin nila ako. "Ysabel, grabe. Kamusta ka na? Dalagang dalaga na, ang ganda ganda pa." 'Proud Sister".
At the back of my mind, I can't help but smile. Sobrang tuwang tuwa sila when they saw me again. Sa stage pa lang, nakangiting nakangiti na silang lahat sa akin. From the teachers, yes, 4thyear advisers, to the beloved Principal, Mrs. Sepacio, to the hardworking Directress, Sister Rebosura, to the Dean of College, Mrs. Bondad and the chief registrar, Mrs. Fiestada.. Plus, Vice Mayor Ferdie Dela Cruz. =)) OMGGG. Yung flattering meter ko, lagpas 100 percent na. Nag-uumapaw. Bakit ganito? I can't trade this moment for anything else.
Hanggang sa patuloy yung ceremony, Graduation rites, habang nagtatagal, habang pumapatak yung oras, habang palapit na ng palapit yung 'end' ng ceremony, lalo akong naiiyak. Oo, di ako makagetover sa happiness ko for my brother, and at the same time, sobrang sarap sa pakiramdam na ganito yung treatment sa'yo ng mga tao sa paligid mo, na sobrang happy yung 'mga' taong tumulong sa akin para mag grow, para maging 'ako'. I can't help but to cry nga, 2 years, no. Three years actually. Ang tagal na pala. Ang gaan sa pakiramadam. "I was once a Marian". And "Once a Marian, always a MARIAN". True blue blooded MARIAN. "Let her blue and her white banner fly". Grabe, hanggang ngayon, memorized ko parin yung Alma Mater Song ng St. Mary's, samantalang yung sa USTe, di ko makabisakabisado. HAHAHHAHHA. "Naiiyak ako, gusto kong bumalik ng High School". Kung pwede ko lang kasi sanang itama lahat, I mean, yung 'isang' pagkakakamali ko nun e, ode sana wala akong pagsisisi at panghihinayang ngayon. At dun sa teacher na si Mrs. Hermosa, hahahaha? Naawa lang ako, kay binati ko na rin siya e. Pero hindi talaga dapat, hindi talaga sana. Oo, hanggang ngayon, kapag naaalala ko yung nangyari sa akin ng dahil sa kanya, BITTER parin ako. SAYANG kasi talaga e. Pero.. PERO.
It's all from the past, it's all PART of the past. I ain't living from the past naman. At masaya na ako ngayon. What's important is, the things I've learned from that institution. After all, I won't be, where I am right now, if not for 'her'. If not for 'them'. If not for "St. Mary's" of course, sobrang strong ng foundation ang meron ako sa kanya. Kakaibang relationship actually.
Masaya kaming umuwi sa bahay, at sobrang nagulat kaming lahat, pagpasok namin ng gate.. Si 'Papa Daddy' nasa bahay. OMG, sobrang saya ko para sa kapatid ko. Umuwi siya from Zambales, for Jacob's Graduation. Sobrang natuwa kaming lahat dun, miss na miss na namin siya e. Ayon, tiny celebration sa bahay. Sobrang nabusog ako, di na ako sanay kumain. Grabe lang. Haha.
"Happy Graduation, it's your High School Graduation Day already. I'm so proud of you, Bubbly :) Congratulations! I'm a proud Ate of yours. Always and forever. :) Love you, Bubbly!"
