april’s almost over.
and i can’t believe it’s not even a month ago when i’ve last ranted my share of thoughts in here.
i felt like it’s been ages. same feeling i get whenever i get swamped with a lot of things-to-do and end up finding my self at loss for words (and time) of how and when to share them.
that’s when i end up posting my relatively outdated pictures. i believe they compensate for my newly acquired skills of lacking the ability to put my thoughts into sentences that make sense.
which is why, even though it’s only been a month, i’d do that amazing technique again.

i finally graduated last week. it’s not even a week. (it was around 1am last monday when we all got back from UP. yep, my entire family plus my Uncle attended my college and university graduation.)
if you followed my tweets, or is among my elite facebook circle of friends, you’d have an idea of how much i was NOT looking forward on attending graduation. i seriously cannot explain it myself.
i think, maybe, i am not yet ready to bid goodbye to the institution that i’ve been a part of for almost a decade.
or, maybe, that i am simply afraid of moving forward. “graduating” meant leaving my comfort zone --- and, The UP College of Architecture was my personal brand of comfort.
ah yes, stop me before I get emotional.
---
the bottomline is simply that i didn’t expect this much from this academic year. it's been exhausting, and filled with unforgettable deadlines...
God is just uber powerful and all-knowing.
If He thinks it’s time for me to get my dream degree, then all I’m left to do is accept it.
Here’s me, THE UP ARCHITECTURE GRADUATE!

i wish i can flatout share that i’ve been doing a lot of productive things lately.
being a UP graduate, i am aware that a lot of people expect mountains of things from me.
uhm, yeeees... i’ve been productive.
and i am perfectly happy!
i’m even feeling like i am committing a sin against (architecture) nature because i sleep anytime, whenever i want to. (oo na, AKO NA!)
i just recently unpacked my things (mostly books and magazines), and arranged them into “my” room.
i currently stopped looking for work, turned down three invites for interview, and refused two job offers. (oo na, AKO NA NGA TALAGA!)
i wake up every morning smiling --- knowing that I am literally home. =))
---
i have resolved to work here in Lopez, Quezon... for now.
at least until Mommy returns from Libya.
there’s also a baptism scheduled for my niece Cesca.

i can’t believe i am now living my dream. anak ng tupa.

one minor problem though: i think my clothes have shrunk.
i blame the provincial air.
and, i’ve only been here for a week.

you'd think i'd have tons of photos from that historical event. and i don't.
but i am on the process of compiling photos (of which my face accidentally appear) from fellow arki grads.
i should be posting that collection on my facebook soon. =)

my tweets last sunday.
(for them to make sense, you should read them from the bottom up. it's how the twitter timeline works. ;p)
during the college grad:
at the univ grad (and on our way home):
what i felt when i got hold of the (ceremonial) diploma:

i wouldn’t want to be the only one in Manila when the entire family’s on bonding mode.
