Graduation !

On_stage Commencement simply means: A start-  a beginning… But why is it that during graduation ceremonies it is called such, when it’s supposedly the end ? Well, academically, of course !(hmmm… sounds intriguing ?). For me, I consider graduation an initial step towards the future. It gives me the go signal, a hint to go ahead… to move forward…  proceed and meet the never ending challenges of life. (That’s me out there near the  podium, about to make that giant step for a brighter future (as if it isn’t  already as bright).

Being_capped As the cap was being positioned on my head, i talked to Him  up there thru my brain waves and thanked Him, praised Him and glorified Him as i slowly walked towards a higher level ahead. It was my longest and slowest walk i did, it felt as if the entire stage platform never ended! as far as I can remember during my college graduation, it took me merely a minute or two to walk towards the altar passing by the center aisle of the Lourdes Church, as it was solemnly held there. (Just  click on the picture to get a bigger view).

Calm_me As i was contemplating on my own, i found my whole self submereged in a tub of promises; engossed under faith; and focued on tommorow’s hope that a wider yet complex realm awaits me; a greener yet bitter-sweet sphere holds my innermost being; an extensive yet forcefull thrust of wisdom unceasingly irked myself to move on and continue life’s fruitful journey ! (Just me outside the the USC Cultural Center of the South Campus of the University of San Carlos, some few but exciting minutes before we took our processional).

TiltedbetThen my biggest smile finally emerged from my lips when i realized i’ve done it!  Actually, i didn’t quite understand how i trully felt, basta i smiled @ my best. (Pero, pinahimutang man diay ang labas sa picture ! ;-)
