    The Graduation Speech that I Never Did

    April 07, 2013 0
    The Graduation Speech that I Never Did
    Me MOM
    I've never been THAT super smart so I haven't experienced speaking in front of many people. Well, graduation wise. Because you know the deal! The smartest of the smartest would always speak in behalf of the graduates. Sometimes even though I don't agree with their words, I can't do anything about it. It's not like they passed on the paper that contains the script and let everyone proofread it or something. But anyways. I guess it's just more appropriate to speak for themselves rather than for everyone. I don't have a problem with that though. :)) NOT MAD. 


    Me? I just want to thank my mom for always being there for me. She may have said a lot of hurtful things to me but I'm sure she didn't mean any of those. And I forgive her for that. I owe her a lot. A whole lot.


    I also want to thank my sisters for always believing in me. My abilities and all that. I know I have said this before but I hope you guys would be able to do it and do it better than I did. I believe in you guys too! I know they're not in the pictures but whatever. My cousin who congratulated me so many times, thank you! Also not in the picture by the way.

    Last but definitely not the least, I want to thank my friends because college wouldn't be as fun without them. Some I met earlier, some just now, but I want to thank them for making my college journey a good one.

    Graduation Blog!

    Graduation Blog!

    The call time was 6 am and I woke up at around 4 I guess but I was too tired to move so I kind of rested until it was 5. I then showered, put on my make-up and then my mom was already asking me to go down because we're leaving. And then when we arrived at UST, she was scolding me because my hair is still wet daw. "IKAW LANG ANG GAGRADUATE NA BASA ANG BUHOK." But because the event actually didn't start right away, my hair was perfectly dry when it started.


    They had two of each of the tarpaulins which is awesome because at least the graduates wouldn't be queuing  much. If you're confused, good. There's a different tarpaulin with different print and all that. 


    Me with my sisters! Thanks to them for waking up soooooo early just to attend my graduation and it really means a lot to me because I know how it feels. Not very lovely. 


    And then they had this UST thing with the PHARMA thing and so you know the deal! MUST TAKE PICTURES!


    There's me! To be honest, I was actually bored except when my seatmate and I were talking and when the SUMMA CUM LAUDE gave his speech because that really hit me like nothing else that day. 


    Then this is the stage where we officially got our degree. I didn't notice the flowers and all that stuff hanging around there but it was pretty nice pala. 


    That's me after the hooding ceremony. And yeah the ceremony lasted for 6 hours which is no surprise because there were I think 800 graduates from PHARMACY, CLINICAL PHARMACY, BIOCHEMISTRY, AND MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY combined. 


    I don't know what the heck just happened here but I'm sure I was playing 2FUSE or probably putting the pictures on my phone on collage. Or probably I was sleeping because I remember myself being sleepy. Haha  


    Okay so after the long marching process and the awesome speech, we PLEDGED and then we sang the UST HYMN for the last time. Well, as a student of course because I will surely sing it in the future pa. That's about it, I guess? Yeah. Yay! Thanks Mr. Tiu for the photos. :)  And to my sisters as well! :)


    Oh and this is the SUMMA CUM LAUDE from pharmacy and also the top among the tops in the whole batch giving his speech/reflection which I really like because it's not really generalized unlike the others. He talked about his experiences and thanked his parents, classmates, and friends. And then his mom and dad were crying and I can really see that they're really proud of their son. That's all! :)

    It's April!

    April 01, 2013 1
    It's April!
    I know that Graduation only happens once but this is actually my GRADUATION MONTH and I'm really really very happy that COLLEGE IS OVER for me. I survived college! Med school would be a totally different world and I don't know about that yet but while I'm not yet decided, I'm not gonna be so problematic about it. 


    The first batch of my dedication and stuff. I don't know why I blurred that because you're probably not interested anyways. Pero okay lang. I'm gonna give the privacy my friends deserve. :D So I totally just wrote this awhile ago but it didn't really require me a lot of effort because you know, when you're sincere about what you're writing, you just have to go with the flow of your feels. Much like blogging.


    I'm all set for tomorrow's graduation and I am so excited. Oh my inner self is actually very much ready but who's gonna do my make-up? Our call time is actually at 6:00 am and who's gonna do my make-up that early? And because I don't want to do things abruptly, I decided to try on the look I want to pull-off tomorrow.


    I would like to call this particular look "I Leave it ALL to you, Michelle Phan." or maybe "Michelle Phan, you Made it ALL Look so Easy" look. I don't want to actually overdo my make-up but I'm not sure I want to look neutral too. I mean, it's not happening everyday and it's not actually gonna happen anytime soon so I want tomorrow to be at least memorable. At least. 



    Oh and I also had my nails done and yeah, quite matchy-matchy with the dress that I would be wearing for tomorrow bur whatevs. So yeah, that's all I have to say for this one. I'm so excited for tomorrow. Hopefully everything would turn out fine because we hella didn't practice anything. So yeah, hope it's all good and hopefully you guys weren't fooled big time today and everything. That's all! :))

    Soar High!

    March 21, 2013 0
    Soar High!
         
    Yesterday, I witnessed my cousin's and sister's elementary graduation. It's still a long way run for them but it's a good start. They're still gonna have a lot of things to go thru. High school drama would probably overwhelm them but I know they're equipped with the things they need to kind of get thru that. High school drama is not just the only thing to prepare for of course. Algebra, Biology, Chemistry, Trigonometry, and Physics! Good luck! I miss high school really. 


    The event started with a mass. Baccalaureate Mass. The homily was great. I hope they kids listened though. Oh can I just say that I missed UST's and I hate to say this but I really regret it. Look at the photo below. I bet it was magical. 

       
    Oh well. Things happen, At least I have this picture to keep. Even though it's not mine. LOL. Oh I also missed the infamous ARC OF THE CENTURIES EXIT which is like, a tradition but don't you worry, I'm gonna have my own version of that walk some other time soon. 


    So that happened. Love that we had our desert first. I love my mom. So that's it. Congratulations, girls! I can't wait to see you graduate high school. And eventually, college.

    One Step Closer.

    November 29, 2012 1
    One Step Closer.
    I don't know if I'm really just being obsessed with anything related to Breaking Dawn or what but recently, everything is just so relevant. I can't even. It's actually a very long and complicated process that we have been through. Like, falling in line here and there just to get this graduation picture over with. Like, seriously.

    So I would like to share with you some of the pictures I took whilst I was there. How nice of me right? LOL.


    So let's just go back to my story first. So my friends and I are actually scheduled at 2-3 pm. We are actually 3 in the group and one of them arrived at 11 am and still didn't make it to the photo booth early because even though she arrived earlier than the scheduled time, there are others who arrived earlier. Which I actually find unfair. They should have just followed the time they reserved for a certain student so we will all somehow finish on time.

    WHAT A SYSTEM. When I came at around 1, I queued for make up and stuff and all that and yeah, after maybe 2 hours, I got called and voila! PICTURE TIME.


    Some of my SELCAs because the official thingy is taking a long time to happen. Some I even took in the bathroom because the background there is pink. LOL.

    So here it is. Like, it's been a long time coming. Like, somehow. I don't know but I just feel like it. And I believe I deserve it. Somehow people really deserve the things they want in life. Even though how hard it is to achieve. Oh well. That's actually another story but since it's completely relevant and similar to what we are talking about, let it be.

    The shooting time itself is quite fast though. Like shot, shot, shot, shot, shot, and done. Just like that. So I don't understand why the system is so slow like that.

    I have a friend who came at 8 and finished at 3. Like, seriously? Are we having a little photo shoot for a magazine here or what?  But I don't want to complain too much anymore.

    Their make up artists are actually nice and all that . So good vibes. Also, their staffs are very accommodating. So yeah, forgiven. Okay let's go back to my GRADUATION STORY. Like, in less than five months, I'm already graduating with my first college degree. Awesome! :D Can't wait, really. Today is also very nice because for the whatever time I waited there, I am mostly with my friends so it's also like a get together of some sort. My friends and I are on different hospitals so it's always nice to catch up and all that.

    Moving on... As early as now, I want to thank my parents for supporting and believing in me. I want to thank my sisters, brother, friends, cousins, and classmates for staying beside me and always cheering me on. I  probably wouldn't be able to make it without them. Thank you guys. This meaningful event of my life will be dedicated to all of you.

    We're ONE STEP CLOSER.
