~ TWO BIG REASONS TO CELEBRATE TODAY: ~

DAD'S BIRTHDAY BASH!!! .... AND MOI'S HS GRADUATION!!!!

- - - * * * - - -

today is the day of happy mammals.... there is a big smorgasbord... cornucopia... juice of love (ahem!) ... an outpouring of jubilance and celebration everywhere! but of course! it is THE DAY! everyone, i'm very sure, has been looking forward to this day (sans the anticipation sagging with the practices). well i must congratulate the whole bunch of the 33rd graduating batch of SJCS!!! we made it! cheers! ***clinks of champagne, cabernet and pinot noirs all over the (imagi)nation***

today has been quite exhausting BUT fulfilling. i wasn't in my weep mode as i thought i would have been... it felt like it was some kind of tea party where you never thought you'd ACTUALLY LEAVE... maybe i am just odd. i will say that i will miss this place, but my heart doesn't feel like it. chilling...

but, a factoid: i am so thankful to god that i graduated. i am no longer in sjcs as a student, but rather as an ALUMNA. promotion!

maybe 'awhile ago' will be the very last time i've spent with my friends, my classmates, people i've come across but never came close to. maybe 'awhile ago' is the last time i'll see my teachers' faces... their dirty looks too... maybe i will never experience this taken-for-granted moments... it has not spammed me yet, but soon it will run its course. again, i would like to thank anyone and everyone who has ever been a part of my life in these many wunderbahr years! HAPPY GRADUATION SENIORS!!!! :D

~This Parting Will~
Seniors '05 Grad Theme!

To you I bestow this parting will
Wishing not to leave yet I must, but still
A part of me is with you today
For that is my gift to you who will stay

I leave you my life for when life is down
Reminding to look not to life, but to Him
For He is my hope in the storm
So I lift my faith
To lead us to dry shores
Help us soar up high..

I leave you this faith, this is all I can give
So that you will have a good life to live
And so I stand here, ready to fly
Wherever the Lord might send, there's my star..

Oh, when hope seems too few
Knowing that things aren't in vain
God will guide us His way..

To lead us to dry shores
Help us soar up high..
Soar up high..
