Graduation

All hail our beloved Assumption!

So I have finally graduated high school. I have with me my beautiful(!) diploma and my with Honors medal (it's beautiful, too *sobs*). I never really expected receiving an award for academic excellence. I mean, look at me. I hardly even pass assignments, or even CAF quizzes, or Computer projects. Most of the time, I just talk during class and not give the real world a cent. OH MY GOSH. I, Patria Carina Perez Morente, an honor student. It's like in the movie, Princess Diaries, where Mia discovered she was a princess and she was like, "Me? A princess? Shut...up!" That had to be my scene as well.

Enough of bragging rights. After the ceremony, we marched out the chapel, and that was when the atmosphere was getting heavy. China was in tears, walking beside me, and so was I, but we were also laughing at the same time (we do admit we're crazy). When the four of us (China, Mahonia, Marj and I) started hugging each other, it felt like (sorry for being all cliche, but...) there was no tomorrow. I cried my heart out, and I cried aloud. Here's what it was like out there:

Until today, I could feel how heavy our graduation was. Though I don't want to be sad anymore. I should be happy being an Old Girl now. I will continue to Stand Firm in the Faith all throughout my life!

And so this is goodbye.

Marj says you've gotten over a person when your heart stops beating fast when you hear his name, or anything related to him, for that matter.

Last night, we had a deal never to talk about them, never to view their profiles, and never to stalk (sorry, guys!) them again. Last peek was allowed before 12 midnight. I know what you're thinking! You're thinking that we wouldn't know who'd be cheating. I trust Marj, and she trusts me. This is an honest deal. You are entitled to your own opinion, but we know the truth.

So anyway, it wasn't that easy. In fact, it wasn't easy at all, but we just had to let go. Enough of wishful thinking, stalking (level: expert), pointless conversing, spasms and overreacting. Most of all, no more hurting!

It's not the end of the world. Somewhere, sometime, somehow, someone will be there!

Wow. I didn't say that, did I?

Nugon.

I feel bad for not being able to continue the countdown. A lot has happened, and I let them pass. Just like that. It's not that I don't remember what happened (okay, maybe some), it's that it's quite too long to chunk together everything in my blog. What now? I will blog when something epic happens.

Speaking of epic, I slept at 4:45 am today, and woke up at 2:20. Am

azing! I can't tell you why, because it's a little, say, private! Ask Marj.

You all know how random I am when it comes to blogging, right? Here's another picture of me during Seniors' night with Micha. I'm going to miss you, Micha!

That's about it for now. I'm out!
